Object Hint

This is a type used in Stencila Schema for providing a concise summary of the structure of an Object.

It exists to support both human and machine understanding of keyed data, including schema inference, editing assistance, and code generation workflows. Rather than imposing hard validation constraints, it summarizes observed or inferred characteristics that can help tools and readers work with object-shaped data.

Key properties describe expected keys, per-key hints, and overall object characteristics.
