Mysql doesn't enforce that - i.e. it won't error out if you try to insert a
row without passing those values (just to clarify).

There's no validation in the above model - so cake isn't going to enforce
the equivalent of NOT NULL either.

Doesn't matter - you are calling save which will insert a row if it doesn't
exist. The model doesn't implement any "if it doesn't exist - it's an
error" logic.

I wouldn't expect that either, but you're calling saveField - not
(directly) save, since it doesn't exist it seems reasonable to not force
the id - since the table definition is autoincrement.
