| `uid` | `string` | `ent_<cell><ulid>`; never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `key` | `string` | The source text plus an optional `\|context`, or an id for id-keyed formats. Output only. |

| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |

| `stale` | `bool` | The source changed since this text was made. Output only. |
