WeightedShuffle is implemented for classic schedule items only, and every other engine mishandles an order it doesn't know *silently*: PlaylistEnumerator has no default arm so the item is dropped from the playlist; BlockPlayoutBuilder filters block items against an allow-list and `continue`s past the rest; YAML and Scripted return None, which their callers' foreach reads as "no content". A weighted order degrading to unweighted random or to nothing is the worst failure mode here, because the output is supposed to look arbitrary — nobody would notice. Rather than change those shipped fallbacks (a real defect class, but pre-existing and wider than this feature — filed separately, non-goal here), this closes the new exposure at the write path: ReplacePlaylistItems and ReplaceBlockItems reject WeightedShuffle with an error naming where it is available. If it can't be persisted where it isn't handled, the silent sites never see it. Defence in depth for the two engines that address orders by name: YAML and Scripted now log a warning when a parsed order falls through unhandled, so an empty schedule explains itself. Enum.Parse accepts "weightedShuffle" the moment the value exists, so the gate above can't cover them. EnumeratorForContent becomes an instance method to reach the logger. ProgramScheduleItemCommandBase lists WeightedShuffle explicitly as valid for multi collections — it already passed by falling through the switch, and implicit-by- omission is how this subsystem grew its silent paths.
