Solutions

1. Add a name: to the page indicated by the number in the message
2. Check indentation — name must sit at the same level as columns/content
3. Use the field name 'name', not 'title' or 'label'

Example fix

# before
pages:
  - columns:
      - size: full
# after
pages:
  - name: Home
    columns:
      - size: full

for i, p := range cfg.Pages {
    if p.Title == "" {
        return fmt.Errorf("page %d missing name", i+1)
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: A pages list item lacking the name field, or where indentation places name outside the item; also an include that yields a page object without a title.

Common situations: Starting a new page block and forgetting name; YAML indentation issues after copy-pasting; renaming the field to title instead of name.
