# Contracts Pipeline

> Current-state summary of how the contracts workflow gathers, verifies, and publishes the contracts registry.

# Contracts Pipeline

This page has been retired. The contracts pipeline is the gold-standard Pattern A integrator and its deep-dive canonical now lives inside the Data Integrations feature page:

**See: [Data Integrations → Contracts Pipeline (deep dive)](./data-integrations.mdx#contracts-pipeline-deep-dive)**

That section includes:

* The mermaid flowchart of the full pipeline (trigger → fetch → verify → publish gate)
* All 7 pipeline guarantees (trigger, entrypoint, source loading, repo/provenance, resolution/verification, output build, publish-or-fail)
* The trust model (daily cron + shadow verification + bytecode auth + `--check` rerun gate)
* Current limits (open-ended contract-family discovery; Ethereum historical replay)
* The `_health-checks.json` "FAIL" semantics (branch-watch state changes are not pipeline failures)
* The cron-is-dry-run bug causing 18+ day publish-gate staleness despite daily cron runs

## Why this moved

This page sat under `docs-guide/features/` but was **not registered in `docs.json` navigation** as of 2026-05-23 – an orphan deep-dive that overlapped with `data-integrations.mdx` without a clear consumer split. Per the consolidation work in `workspace/thread-outputs/repo-consolidation-deep/SLICE-04-data-integrations-audit.md`, the deep-dive content was absorbed into `data-integrations.mdx` as a dedicated section. This file is retained as a thin pointer to preserve any external references; it should not be edited further.
