 ### Unsupported Features
 
+- **Default Values**: Missing fields return `RotoError::FieldNotFound` instead of the Proto3 default value (e.g., `0` or `""`).
+- **Field Presence**: No `has_field()` methods are generated to distinguish between a field being absent and a field being set to its default value.
 - **`oneof` Fields**: Not currently supported in code generation.
 - **`map` Fields**: Not currently supported.
 - **Packed Repeated Fields**: `roto` expects individual tags for all repeated elements; it does not support the packed encoding used for scalar numeric types in Proto3.
