One missing piece of information in the documentation for manifests in the Blender Extension documentation is the requirements for all manifest values. For instance, if I have a tagline greater then 64 characters, the extension builder will return the following error:

ERROR: Error parsing TOML "addon/blender_manifest.toml" key "tagline" invalid: a value no longer than 64 characters expected, found 65

However, this is not mentioned in the documentation, just that the tagline may not end in punctuation. This is just one example of manifest restrictions that are missing from the documentation.
