It is now possible to save invalid records in their draft state, and postpone validation enforcements to publication time. The feature can be enabled and/or disabled on models with the draft/published stages active.

The feature affects the CMS and, of course, the CMA (Content Management API). When draft saving is active, it's possible to POST/PUT invalid records to CMA and have them saved: the endpoints respond with a 200, and the record is just saved as a payload.

Validations will take effect when the record is published. If the record is not valid, publication fails, and editors need to fix the content to ensure all rules are handled before proceeding to move the record into the Published stage.
