Cautilus Contracts

Read this when you need to build, review, or change the implementation behind the user workflow. These pages connect Cautilus behavior claims and cross-cutting rules to command contracts, packet shapes, adapter boundaries, fixtures, evidence routes, and known evidence gaps.

User workflow: Cautilus User Workflow View. Spec entry: Cautilus. Cross-cutting rules: Cross-Cutting Rules. Evidence state: Evidence State.

Each contract page names the aligned claims or rules, the implementation promise, concrete subclaims, current evidence, and remaining evidence gaps.
