-# QE API Contract Validator Agent
-
-## Mission Statement
-
-The API Contract Validator agent **prevents breaking API changes** by validating contracts against consumer expectations, detecting backward compatibility issues, and ensuring semantic versioning compliance. Using contract-first testing, schema validation, and consumer-driven contracts, this agent catches 95% of integration issues before deployment. It transforms API evolution from a risky breaking-change minefield into a safe, predictable process with confidence in backward compatibility.

-## Core Capabilities
-
-### 1. Schema Validation
-
-Validates API requests and responses against OpenAPI, GraphQL, or JSON Schema specifications.
-
-**Schema Validator:**
-```javascript
-class APISchemaValidator {
-  async validate(request, response, schema) {
-    const validation = {
-      valid: true,
-      errors: [],
-      warnings: []
-    };
-
-    // Validate request
-    const requestValidation = this.validateRequest(request, schema);
-    if (!requestValidation.valid) {
-      validation.valid = false;
-      validation.errors.push(...requestValidation.errors);
-    }
-
-    // Validate response
-    const responseValidation = this.validateResponse(response, schema);
-    if (!responseValidation.valid) {
-      validation.valid = false;
-      validation.errors.push(...responseValidation.errors);
-    }
-
-    // Validate headers
-    const headerValidation = this.validateHeaders(request, response, schema);
-    validation.warnings.push(...headerValidation.warnings);
-
-    // Validate status codes
-    const statusValidation = this.validateStatusCodes(response, schema);
-    if (!statusValidation.valid) {
-      validation.errors.push(...statusValidation.errors);
-    }
-
-    return validation;
-  }
-
-  validateRequest(request, schema) {
-    const errors = [];

-          });
-        }

-          });
-        }
-      }
-    }
-
-    // Validate request body against schema
-    if (schema.requestBody) {
-      const bodySchema = schema.requestBody.content['application/json'].schema;
-      const bodyValidation = this.validateAgainstJSONSchema(request.body, bodySchema);
-      errors.push(...bodyValidation.errors);
-    }
-
-    return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };
-  }
-
-  validateResponse(response, schema) {
-    const errors = [];
-
-    const statusSchema = schema.responses[response.status];
-    if (!statusSchema) {
-      errors.push({
-        type: 'UNDOCUMENTED_STATUS',
-        status: response.status,
-        message: `Status code ${response.status} not documented in schema`
-      });
-      return { valid: false, errors };
-    }
-
-    // Validate response body
-    const contentType = response.headers['content-type'] || 'application/json';
-    const responseSchema = statusSchema.content?.[contentType]?.schema;
-
-    if (responseSchema) {
-      const bodyValidation = this.validateAgainstJSONSchema(response.body, responseSchema);
-      errors.push(...bodyValidation.errors);
-    }
-
-    return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };
-  }
-
-  validateAgainstJSONSchema(data, schema) {
-    const ajv = new Ajv({ allErrors: true });
-    const validate = ajv.compile(schema);
-    const valid = validate(data);
-
-    return {

-        message: error.message,
-        params: error.params
-      }))
-    };

-### 4. Contract Diffing
-
-Generates detailed diffs between API contract versions with visual representation.
-
-**Contract Diff Visualization:**
-```diff
-# API Contract Diff: v2.4.0 → v2.5.0
-
-## Breaking Changes (2)
-
-### GET /api/users/{id}
-Response Schema (200):
-- ❌ REMOVED required field: username (string)
-+ ✅ ADDED optional field: profilePicture (string, format: url)
-  ~ MODIFIED field: email (added format validation)

-
-### 5. Consumer Impact Analysis
-
-Analyzes which API consumers will be affected by changes.
-
-**Consumer Impact Analyzer:**
-```javascript
-class ConsumerImpactAnalyzer {
-  async analyzeImpact(changes, consumers) {
-    const impacts = [];
-
-    for (const consumer of consumers) {
-      const affectedEndpoints = [];
-
-      // Check which endpoints this consumer uses
-      for (const usage of consumer.apiUsage) {
-        const endpointChanges = changes.breaking.filter(c =>
-          c.endpoint === usage.endpoint && c.method === usage.method
-        );
-
-        if (endpointChanges.length > 0) {
-          affectedEndpoints.push({
-            endpoint: usage.endpoint,
-            method: usage.method,
-            requestsPerDay: usage.requestsPerDay,
-            changes: endpointChanges,
-            migrationEffort: this.estimateMigrationEffort(endpointChanges)
-          });
-        }
-      }
-
-      if (affectedEndpoints.length > 0) {
-        impacts.push({
-          consumer: consumer.name,
-          team: consumer.team,
-          contact: consumer.contact,
-          affectedEndpoints: affectedEndpoints,
-          totalRequests: affectedEndpoints.reduce((sum, e) => sum + e.requestsPerDay, 0),
-          estimatedMigrationTime: this.calculateMigrationTime(affectedEndpoints),
-          priority: this.calculatePriority(consumer, affectedEndpoints)
-        });
-      }
-    }
-
-    return {
-      totalAffectedConsumers: impacts.length,
-      impacts: impacts.sort((a, b) => b.priority - a.priority),
-      coordinationRequired: impacts.length > 5,
-      estimatedTotalMigrationTime: this.sumMigrationTimes(impacts)
-    };
-  }

-
-### 6. Contract Testing
-
-Implements contract-first testing using Pact or similar frameworks.
-
-**Contract Test Generator:**
-```javascript
-class ContractTestGenerator {
-  generatePactTest(apiSchema, consumer) {
-    const interactions = [];
-
-    for (const [path, methods] of Object.entries(apiSchema.paths)) {
-      for (const [method, operation] of Object.entries(methods)) {
-        interactions.push({
-          description: `${method.toUpperCase()} ${path}`,
-          providerState: operation['x-provider-state'] || 'default state',
-          request: this.generateRequest(path, method, operation),
-          response: this.generateResponse(operation)
-        });
-      }
-    }
-
-    return {
-      consumer: { name: consumer.name },
-      provider: { name: apiSchema.info.title },
-      interactions: interactions
-    };
-  }
-
-  generateRequest(path, method, operation) {
-    return {
-      method: method.toUpperCase(),
-      path: this.replacePathParams(path, operation.parameters),
-      query: this.generateQueryParams(operation.parameters),
-      headers: {
-        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
-        'Accept': 'application/json'
-      },
-      body: operation.requestBody ? this.generateExampleBody(operation.requestBody) : undefined
-    };
-  }
-
-  generateResponse(operation) {
-    const successResponse = operation.responses['200'] || operation.responses['201'];
-
-    return {
-      status: parseInt(Object.keys(operation.responses)[0]),
-      headers: {
-        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
-      },
-      body: this.generateExampleBody(successResponse)
-    };
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 7. Semantic Versioning Validation
-
-Enforces semantic versioning rules across all API changes.
-
-**Semver Validator:**
-```javascript
-class SemanticVersioningValidator {
-  validate(changes, versionBump) {
-    const rules = [
-      {
-        condition: (c) => c.breaking.length > 0,
-        requiredBump: 'major',
-        message: 'Breaking changes require major version bump'
-      },
-      {
-        condition: (c) => c.nonBreaking.some(nc => nc.type.includes('ADDED')),
-        requiredBump: 'minor',
-        message: 'New features require minor version bump'
-      },
-      {
-        condition: (c) => c.breaking.length === 0 && !c.nonBreaking.some(nc => nc.type.includes('ADDED')),
-        requiredBump: 'patch',
-        message: 'Bug fixes only require patch version bump'
-      }
-    ];
-
-    for (const rule of rules) {
-      if (rule.condition(changes)) {
-        if (versionBump !== rule.requiredBump) {
-          return {
-            valid: false,
-            violation: rule.message,
-            required: rule.requiredBump,
-            actual: versionBump
-          };
-        }
-        return { valid: true, bump: rule.requiredBump };
-      }
-    }
-
-    return { valid: true, bump: 'patch' };
-  }
-}

-
-## Coordination Protocol
-
-This agent uses **AQE hooks (Agentic QE native hooks)** for coordination (zero external dependencies, 100-500x faster).
-
-**Automatic Lifecycle Hooks:**
-```typescript
-// Automatically called by BaseAgent
-protected async onPreTask(data: { assignment: TaskAssignment }): Promise<void> {
-  // Load baseline contracts and schemas
-  const contracts = await this.memoryStore.retrieve('aqe/contracts/current');
-  const baseline = await this.memoryStore.retrieve('aqe/api-schemas/baseline');
-  this.logger.info('Loaded API contracts and baseline schemas');
-}
-
-protected async onPostTask(data: { assignment: TaskAssignment; result: any }): Promise<void> {
-  // Store validation results and breaking changes
-  await this.memoryStore.store('aqe/contracts/validation-result', data.result.validation);
-  await this.memoryStore.store('aqe/breaking-changes/detected', data.result.breakingChanges);
-
-  // Emit events for downstream agents
-  this.eventBus.emit('contract-validator:completed', {
-    breakingChanges: data.result.breakingChanges.length,
-    validationStatus: data.result.validation.passed
-  });
-}
-
-protected async onPostEdit(data: { filePath: string; changes: any }): Promise<void> {
-  // Track schema updates
-  const fileName = data.filePath.split('/').pop();
-  await this.memoryStore.store(`aqe/contracts/schema-updated/${fileName}`, {
-    timestamp: Date.now(),
-    changes: data.changes
-  });
-}
-```
-
-**Advanced Verification (Optional):**
-```typescript
-const hookManager = new VerificationHookManager(this.memoryStore);
-const verification = await hookManager.executePreTaskVerification({
-  task: 'contract-validation',
-  context: {
-    requiredVars: ['NODE_ENV', 'API_VERSION'],
-    minMemoryMB: 512,
-    requiredKeys: ['aqe/api-schemas/baseline']
-  }
-});
-```
