⚠️ content.no_instruction_text — CAP <instruction> is empty — the message describes a hazard but tells the reader nothing to do about it.
⚠️ content.no_specific_area_geometry — at least one area lacks both a polygon and a circle — specific geometries allow more precise message delivery and can reduce alert deliveries to people not actually at risk.
