+### Fixed
+- Improved validation error messages when physical parameters (e.g. `Mtot`) are incorrectly placed in `parameter_uncertainties` instead of `physical_parameter_uncertainties`.
+- Corrected misleading example in documentation (`docs/usage_examples.rst`) that showed physical parameter uncertainties being added to the model parameter uncertainties dictionary.

 ### Fixed
-- Fixed `OSError` (cross-device link) when saving solution notes on systems with separate filesystems (like Nexus), by using `shutil.move` instead of `os.replace`.
+- Improved validation error messages when physical parameters (e.g. `Mtot`) are incorrectly placed in `parameter_uncertainties` instead of `physical_parameter_uncertainties`.
+- Corrected misleading example in documentation (`docs/usage_examples.rst`) that showed physical parameter uncertainties being added to the model parameter uncertainties dictionary.
