MemberPresentation

Remarks

⚠ default(MemberPresentation) is not the same thing as new MemberPresentation() would be in a class, and the difference bites exactly once per person. This is a struct, so both spellings give the all-zero value — which means IsEditorVisible comes out false despite the parameter above defaulting to true. A member handed a defaulted presentation is therefore hidden from the inspector, silently.

The generator never trips over it — it writes every field it means — and a hand-written descriptor should pass new MemberPresentation(IsEditorVisible: true) rather than relying on the parameter default. Said here rather than fixed by inverting the flag, because IsEditorHidden would read backwards everywhere it is used to spare one caller a surprise they only get once.

AllowsNull is the second flag with that shape and it is deliberately not a second surprise: it only means anything alongside an AssetType, and a descriptor stating one states the other in the same breath.
