## Documentation Updates

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Fleet Name Validation" icon="shield-check">
    **Updated:**

    * `FleetUpdate.fleet_name` - Added validation constraint documentation
    * `OnboardingInvitation.partner_provided_fleet_name` - Added validation constraint documentation

    **Validation Rule:**
    Fleet name fields now explicitly document that only letters, numbers, and spaces are allowed. This constraint was always enforced by the API but is now clearly documented in the OpenAPI specification.

    **Before:**

    ```yaml theme={null}
    fleet_name:
      description: "The fleet's preferred name for their organization"
    ```

    **After:**

    ```yaml theme={null}
    fleet_name:
      description: "The fleet's preferred name for their organization. Only letters, numbers, and spaces are allowed."
    ```

    **Impact:**

    * No changes to API behavior
    * Existing integrations are unaffected
    * Validation rules remain the same as previous versions
  </Accordion>

## Integration Notes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review Fleet Name Inputs">
    If you're creating or updating fleets, ensure your fleet name inputs comply with the documented validation:

    ```bash theme={null}
    # Valid fleet names
    "ABC Logistics"
    "Fleet 123"
    "North America Operations"

    # Invalid fleet names (will be rejected)
    "ABC-Logistics"  # Contains hyphen
    "Fleet_123"      # Contains underscore
    "ABC@Logistics"  # Contains special character
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="No Action Required">
    This is a documentation-only update. If your integration is currently working, no changes are needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>
