+`README.md`'s "Not a `FormField` key" table said a field-level `className` is
+"read on exactly one pseudo-field, `type: 'section-divider'`". That quantifier
+holds only for the renderer's *explicit* read — `className={fp.className}` on
+the `section-divider` branch of
+`packages/components/src/renderers/form/form.tsx`. The same renderer forwards
+every key it did not destructure, and `className` is not among the names taken
+off the field config, not among the ones `stripRendererOnlyProps` removes, and
+so rides `{...fieldProps}` into `renderFieldComponent`, whose built-in `input`
+branch spreads it onto `<Input>`. A field-level `className` therefore lands
+visibly on ordinary built-in controls, and a reader taking "exactly one"
+literally concludes the opposite of what the code does (objectui#5131).
+
+The cell now describes the contract rather than the reader count: an undeclared
+key still rides the props spread down to whichever component the field resolves
+to, nothing in the contract promises that, and a registered widget honours it
+only if it happens to spread its leftover props — the wording the docs site
+already ships, so the two sources agree again. The advice in the row is
+unchanged and was never wrong (`span` / `colSpan` for width,
+`FormSchema.fieldContainerClass` for the grid), and the explicit
+`section-divider` read is kept, now named as explicit.
+
+This is a documentation fix to a file `plugin-form` publishes to npm, which is
+why it carries a version: the npm landing page only picks up the correction on a
+release. No behaviour, export, type, or `dist` byte changes.
