This has a spurious .yaml suffix ;)

You don't actually have to describe this property a sit comes from the
generic schema. But maybe you could set maxItems

Same comment, even better, I tink you could list the expected names in
an enum or a const list

You can drop the description and simply have maxItems: 1
