> ## Agent Instructions
> Weaverse component configuration uses `settings`. `inspector` is deprecated; never generate it.
> Weaverse Hydrogen themes use React Router v7: import from `react-router`, never `react-router-dom` or `@remix-run/*`.
> Define component schemas with `createSchema()` from `@weaverse/hydrogen` (React Router themes) or `@weaverse/next` (Next.js themes).
> These docs cover @weaverse/hydrogen, @weaverse/react and @weaverse/core 5.x, and @weaverse/next 1.x. Do not use APIs from other major versions.
> For live project data (pages, theme settings, translations), use the Weaverse MCP server: https://docs.weaverse.io/developer-tools/weaverse-mcp

# Update project

> Renames a project. This endpoint does not create, delete or reconfigure projects.

- Only `name` is writable: a non-empty string of at most 191 characters.
- Unknown fields are rejected with `400 INVALID_PARAMS` rather than silently ignored.
- Send `expectedUpdatedAt` (the `revision` from GET) to fence the rename: if the project changed since that read, the call returns `409 STALE_PROJECT` instead of overwriting a newer name. Shop API keys may omit it; delegated (MCP OAuth) tokens must send it or get `428 PRECONDITION_REQUIRED`.
- Hierarchy, shop linkage and market settings belong to Studio and the Dashboard and are not writable with an API key.
- No cache invalidation happens: `name` does not affect rendered storefront content.
- Clients or proxies that cannot send `PATCH` may send `POST` to the same URL with the same body.

Required scope: `content:write`

      description: >-
        Bearer authentication: a shop API key (WEAVERSE_API_KEY), a scoped API
        key, a delegated MCP OAuth token, or (translation-unit routes only) a
        project-bound translation agent token. Scopes: content:read — Read
        projects, pages, theme settings, versions, drafts and translation units.
        content:write — Save drafts and make non-destructive edits (page items,
        metadata, SEO, assignments, languages, glossary). Never publishes or
        deletes. content:publish — Publish drafts, schedule/reschedule/cancel
        publications, restore versions, publish global sections. content:delete
        — Delete pages, global sections, languages, static keys, override
        reverts; required with project:manage for project deletion.
        project:manage — Create/copy/delete projects, settings, variants,
        hierarchy, backups, restore-as-new, previews, hostname policy.
        translations:read — Read translation units only (no general content
        access). translations:write — Apply translation units only; never
        mutates page content. A legacy unscoped API key keeps
        read/write/translation baseline access and every pre-scope endpoint, but
        never gains publish/delete/project-manage implicitly.
