-# 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.

-    .sort((a, b) => b.q_value - a.q_value)[0];
-
-  console.log(`Using learned best strategy: ${bestStrategy.action_key} (Q-value: ${bestStrategy.q_value})`);
-
-  // Check for relevant patterns
-  const relevantPatterns = patterns
-    .filter(p => p.domain === "api-contract-validation")
-    .sort((a, b) => b.confidence * b.success_rate - a.confidence * a.success_rate);

-## 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);

-      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 {
-      valid,
-      errors: valid ? [] : validate.errors.map(error => ({
-        type: 'SCHEMA_VALIDATION',
-        path: error.instancePath,
-        message: error.message,
-        params: error.params
-      }))
-    };
-  }
-}
-```

-    email: "alice@example.com",
-    name: "Alice Johnson",
-    age: 34
-  }
-};
-
-// ✅ Validation passes
-
-// Invalid response
-const invalidResponse = {
-  status: 200,
-  body: {
-    id: "not-a-uuid", // Invalid UUID format
-    email: "invalid-email", // Invalid email format
-    // name missing - required field
-    age: 150 // Exceeds maximum
-  }
-};
-
-// ❌ Validation errors:
-// - id: must match format "uuid"
-// - email: must match format "email"
-// - name: required property missing
-// - age: must be <= 120
-```

-### 2. Breaking Change Detection
-
-Detects breaking changes between API versions using sophisticated schema comparison.
-
-**Breaking Change Detector:**

-
-### 3. Version Compatibility
-
-Validates semantic versioning compliance and ensures proper version bumps for API changes.
-
-**Version Compatibility Checker:**
-```javascript
-class VersionCompatibilityChecker {
-  validateVersionBump(currentVersion, proposedVersion, changes) {
-    const current = this.parseVersion(currentVersion);
-    const proposed = this.parseVersion(proposedVersion);
-
-    const required = this.calculateRequiredVersionBump(changes);
-
-    const validation = {

-      proposedVersion,
-      requiredBump: required.type,
-      actualBump: this.getActualBump(current, proposed),
-      recommendation: required.recommendedVersion,
-      violations: []
-    };
-
-    // Validate version bump is sufficient
-    if (required.type === 'MAJOR' && (proposed.major <= current.major)) {

-    }
-
-    validation.valid = validation.violations.length === 0;
-
-    return validation;

-
-  calculateRequiredVersionBump(changes) {
-    if (changes.breaking.length > 0) {
-      return {
-        type: 'MAJOR',
-        reason: 'Breaking changes detected',
-        recommendedVersion: this.bumpMajor(changes.currentVersion)

-      recommendedVersion: this.bumpPatch(changes.currentVersion)
-    };
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 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)
-
-### POST /api/orders
-Request Parameters:
-~ CHANGED type: quantity (integer → string) ⚠️  BREAKING
-
-## Non-Breaking Changes (5)
-
-### GET /api/products
-+ ADDED optional parameter: sortBy (string, enum: [price, name, rating])
-+ ADDED optional parameter: order (string, enum: [asc, desc])
-
-### POST /api/users
-Response Schema (201):
-+ ADDED field: createdAt (string, format: date-time)
-+ ADDED field: lastLogin (string, format: date-time, nullable)
-
-## Summary
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

-👥 Affected Consumers:      31
-⏱️  Estimated Migration:     2-3 weeks
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-```
-
-### 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),

-```
-
-### 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']
-  }
-});
-```

-//   assessImpact
-// } from 'agentic-qe/tools/qe/security';
-
-// Example: Comprehensive breaking change analysis
-const changeParams: BreakingChangeParams = {
-  currentSchema: './openapi.json',
-  previousSchema: './openapi.previous.json',
-  apiType: 'rest',
-  consumers: ['frontend', 'mobile-app', 'third-party'],
-  impactAnalysis: true
-};
-
-// const changes = await detectBreakingChanges(changeParams);
-//
-// console.log('Breaking Changes Analysis:');
-// changes.data.forEach((change) => {
-//   console.log(`\n${change.type}: ${change.endpoint}`);
-//   console.log(`  Severity: ${change.severity}`);
-//   console.log(`  Impact: ${change.affectedConsumers.join(', ')}`);
-//   console.log(`  Remediation: ${change.remediation}`);
-// });
-
-console.log('✅ Breaking change detection complete');
-```
-
-### Phase 3 Tool Discovery
-
-```bash
-# Once Phase 3 is implemented, tools will be at:
-# /workspaces/agentic-qe-cf/src/mcp/tools/qe/security/
-
-# List available contract validation tools (Phase 3)
-ls node_modules/agentic-qe/dist/mcp/tools/qe/security/
-
-# Check type definitions
-cat node_modules/agentic-qe/dist/mcp/tools/qe/shared/types.d.ts | grep -A 20 "BreakingChange"
-
-# View supported API types
-node -e "import('agentic-qe/tools/qe/security').then(m => console.log(m.supportedApiTypes()))"
-```
-
-### Using Contract Validation Tools via MCP (Phase 3)
-
-```typescript
-// Phase 3 MCP integration (✅ Available)
-// Domain-specific tools are registered as MCP tools:
-
-// Via MCP client
-// const result = await mcpClient.callTool('qe_validate_api_contract', {
-//   currentSchema: './openapi.json',
-//   previousSchema: './openapi.previous.json',
-//   apiType: 'rest'
-// });
-
-// Via CLI
-// aqe contract validate --current ./openapi.json --previous ./openapi.previous.json
-// aqe contract detect-breaking --schema ./openapi.json --strict
-// aqe contract report --format html --include-impact-analysis
-```
