-# Contract Testing Essentials (Pact)
-
-## Principle
-
-Contract testing validates API contracts between consumer and provider services without requiring integrated end-to-end tests. Store consumer contracts alongside integration specs, version contracts semantically, and publish on every CI run. Provider verification before merge surfaces breaking changes immediately, while explicit fallback behavior (timeouts, retries, error payloads) captures resilience guarantees in contracts.
-
-## Rationale
-
-Traditional integration testing requires running both consumer and provider simultaneously, creating slow, flaky tests with complex setup. Contract testing decouples services: consumers define expectations (pact files), providers verify against those expectations independently. This enables parallel development, catches breaking changes early, and documents API behavior as executable specifications. Pair contract tests with API smoke tests to validate data mapping and UI rendering in tandem.
-
-## Pattern Examples
-
-### Example 1: Pact Consumer Test (Frontend → Backend API)
-
-**Context**: React application consuming a user management API, defining expected interactions.
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// tests/contract/user-api.pact.spec.ts
-import { PactV3, MatchersV3 } from '@pact-foundation/pact';
-import { getUserById, createUser, User } from '@/api/user-service';
-
-const { like, eachLike, string, integer } = MatchersV3;
-
-/**
- * Consumer-Driven Contract Test
- * - Consumer (React app) defines expected API behavior
- * - Generates pact file for provider to verify
- * - Runs in isolation (no real backend required)
- */
-
-const provider = new PactV3({
-  consumer: 'user-management-web',
-  provider: 'user-api-service',
-  dir: './pacts', // Output directory for pact files
-  logLevel: 'warn',
-});
-
-describe('User API Contract', () => {
-  describe('GET /users/:id', () => {
-    it('should return user when user exists', async () => {
-      // Arrange: Define expected interaction
-      await provider
-        .given('user with id 1 exists') // Provider state
-        .uponReceiving('a request for user 1')
-        .withRequest({
-          method: 'GET',
-          path: '/users/1',
-          headers: {
-            Accept: 'application/json',
-            Authorization: like('Bearer token123'), // Matcher: any string
-          },
-        })
-        .willRespondWith({
-          status: 200,
-          headers: {

-            createdAt: string('2025-01-15T10:00:00Z'),

-        .executeTest(async (mockServer) => {
-          // Act: Call consumer code against mock server
-          const user = await getUserById(1, {
-            baseURL: mockServer.url,
-            headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token123' },

-          // Assert: Validate consumer behavior
-          expect(user).toEqual(
-            expect.objectContaining({

-              role: 'user',
-            }),
-          );
-        });
-    });
-
-    it('should handle 404 when user does not exist', async () => {

-          body: {
-            error: 'User not found',
-            code: 'USER_NOT_FOUND',
-          },
-        })
-        .executeTest(async (mockServer) => {
-          // Act & Assert: Consumer handles 404 gracefully
-          await expect(getUserById(999, { baseURL: mockServer.url })).rejects.toThrow('User not found');
-        });
-    });
-  });
-
-  describe('POST /users', () => {
-    it('should create user and return 201', async () => {

-          body: like({
-            id: integer(2),
-            name: string('Jane Smith'),
-            email: string('jane@example.com'),
-            role: string('admin'),
-            createdAt: string('2025-01-15T11:00:00Z'),
-          }),
-        })
-        .executeTest(async (mockServer) => {
-          const createdUser = await createUser(newUser, {
-            baseURL: mockServer.url,
-          });
-
-          expect(createdUser).toEqual(
-            expect.objectContaining({
-              id: expect.any(Number),
-              name: 'Jane Smith',
-              email: 'jane@example.com',
-              role: 'admin',
-            }),

-    });
-  });
-});

-**package.json scripts**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "scripts": {
-    "test:contract": "jest tests/contract --testTimeout=30000",
-    "pact:publish": "pact-broker publish ./pacts --consumer-app-version=$GIT_SHA --broker-base-url=$PACT_BROKER_URL --broker-token=$PACT_BROKER_TOKEN"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Consumer-driven**: Frontend defines expectations, not backend
-- **Matchers**: `like`, `string`, `integer` for flexible matching
-- **Provider states**: given() sets up test preconditions
-- **Isolation**: No real backend needed, runs fast
-- **Pact generation**: Automatically creates JSON pact files

-### Example 2: Pact Provider Verification (Backend validates contracts)

-import { server } from '../../src/server'; // Your Express/Fastify app
-import { seedDatabase, resetDatabase } from '../support/db-helpers';

-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Resilience contracts**: Timeouts, retries, errors explicitly tested
-- **State handlers**: Provider sets up each test scenario
-- **Error handling**: Consumer validates graceful degradation
-- **Retry logic**: Exponential backoff tested
-- **Optional fields**: Consumer handles partial responses

-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Automated tagging**: Releases tagged with environment
-- **Deployment tracking**: Broker knows which version is where
-- **Safety gate**: can-i-deploy blocks incompatible deployments
-- **Retention policy**: Keep recent, production, and branch-latest pacts
-- **Webhook triggers**: Provider verification runs on consumer changes
-

-## Contract Testing Checklist
-
-Before implementing contract testing, verify:
-
-- [ ] **Pact Broker setup**: Hosted (Pactflow) or self-hosted broker configured
-- [ ] **Consumer tests**: Generate pacts in CI, publish to broker on merge
-- [ ] **Provider verification**: Runs on PR, verifies all consumer pacts
-- [ ] **State handlers**: Provider implements all given() states
-- [ ] **can-i-deploy**: Blocks deployment if contracts incompatible
-- [ ] **Webhooks configured**: Consumer changes trigger provider verification
-- [ ] **Retention policy**: Old pacts archived (keep 30 days, all production tags)
-- [ ] **Resilience tested**: Timeouts, retries, error codes in contracts
-
-## Integration Points
-
-- Used in workflows: `*automate` (integration test generation), `*ci` (contract CI setup)
-- Related fragments: `test-levels-framework.md`, `ci-burn-in.md`
-- Tools: Pact.js, Pact Broker (Pactflow or self-hosted), Pact CLI
