+
+## contract/evals.md (≤40 lines) — the non-deterministic half (deep tier)
+- Trajectory lines: did the agent read the contract first, run tests before
+  claiming done, stay inside its file scope?
+- Quality lines: change-specific bars a human reviewer would check.
+- A written pass bar (e.g. "all ≥4") — the sdlc-evaluator scores 1–5 per line
+  and failures route back to build with a cluster note.
