upsert-simple accepts any internal postType/pageType int, not just the sensible public ones
upsert-simple will happily accept any internal enum value for postType and pageType — there's no whitelist restricting them to the handful that make sense over the public API.
The value flows straight into page/post creation, so a caller can create structurally odd posts and pages that the UI would never let you make — e.g. a Form page, a PrivateChat, a Forum, a MetaMessage, or a Bookmark.
Who it bites: anyone scripting bulk upserts who fat-fingers a type int, or copies a value out of the internal enums assuming the public path validates it. Nothing warns you; you just get a weird page.
Minor, and it needs a valid site secret to reach — but a small allow-list would turn a silent "you now have a Form page" into a clean 400. This complements the general upsert-vs-UI-shape mismatch story.

SimplePostPatch.postTypeis parsed withPostType.fromIntatSitePatchParser.scala:1580, andSimplePagePatch.pageTypewithPageType.fromIntatSitePatchParser.scala:1231. BothfromInthelpers accept every internal enum member — so values likeForm=20,PrivateChat=19,Forum=7,MetaMessage=31,Bookmark=51all pass, then land inPost.create/PageMeta.forNewPage.What I'd expect: the public upsert path to validate
postType/pageTypeagainst an explicit allowed set (the types the UI can actually produce over this API), returning a 4xx for anything else.Verified: source read.
