📖What it means
The promise one piece of the estate makes to another — what it will accept, what it will return, and what it guarantees. Breaking a contract quietly is how a caller starts getting wrong answers without any error appearing.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Boundary
A contract is the agreed terms; a boundary is the line the terms are agreed across.
Not: Policy
A contract binds two components; a policy binds the whole system.
