Error adding docs to CouchDB - json

Question

My local PouchDB docs won't replicate to my remote CouchDB.
The sync is happening, because the browser downloaded my design schema, so it's not a permissions issue. I think that my design schema doesn't match my documents, but I struggled to find the correct way to write the schema.
Schema
{
"_id": "_design/schema",
"_rev": "4-3d9a49ebffbbd6b7b146240879baa7e4",
"validate_doc_update": "function(newDoc, oldDoc, userCtx, secObj){ if(userCtx.roles[0] !== 'admin'){throw({forbidden: 'operation forbidden'})} }",
"views": {
"by_module": {
"map": "function(doc){ if(doc.type == 'note'){emit(doc.note);} }"
}
},
"schema": {
"title": "Contact details",
"description": "A document containing a person's contact details.",
"type": "object",
"required": [
"name",
"level"
],
"properties": {
"_id": {
"type": "string"
},
"_rev": {
"type": "string"
},
"application_access": {
"type": "string"
},
"home": {
"type": "string"
},
"home_email": {
"type": "string"
},
"jobtitle": {
"type": "string"
},
"level": {
"type": "string"
},
"mobile1": {
"type": "string"
},
"mobile2": {
"type": "string"
},
"modified": {
"type": "number"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"work": {
"type": "string"
},
"work_email": {
"type": "string"
},
"_doc_id_rev": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
Doc
{
"_id": "fcb52b3072e2038647b328c0a700147f",
"_rev": "1518449239461",
"application_access": "User",
"home": "",
"home_email": "",
"jobtitle": "Exemplar",
"level": "Bronze",
"mobile1": "0987654321",
"mobile2": "",
"modified": 1518449239461,
"name": "Zachary Zumbeispiel",
"work": "",
"work_email": "",
"_doc_id_rev": "1518449239460::1-ffd3c056614845ada4a68de4793710ac"
}
So the question is, does my doc conform to my schema? Or is my schema wrong?
The "schema" was on the CouchDB instance, and the doc was in PouchDB.

Answer 1

They are replicating now, because I removed the "document schema" and so it can sync & replicate.
So the problem was that I had read somewhere that I needed to add a schema to CouchDB, so I created what I thought was a schema, and evidently the structure of the docs to be synced has to be the same, so the sync did not work because the structure of the docs did not match.
Hence #Flimzy 's explanation that the whole notion of a schema was bobbins meant that I removed the "schema", and voila, the PouchDB and CouchDB can now sync - and problem solved.
