Research direction

The issue names DRF serializers, the full clean method, a context contract, and a management command, but no files or tests. Start by locating those entry points and clarifying the intended normalization boundary; the issue does not specify what completion should look like.

Description

blog

DRF serializers are bad for the validation of related data (full clean method).

Leave type only normalization to it. Context contract will do the rest.

I can't remove serializer but want to use a story in the management command.
