Rulvar API reference / @rulvar/core / OutputContractManifest
Interface: OutputContractManifest
Defined in: packages/core/src/orchestrator/finish-validators.ts:1846
One declaration for the shape a host both PROMPTS for and GATES on (RV3308). The 2026-08-12 comparison run drifted exactly here: the harness prompt named one heading while its finish contract named an older one, the host accepted its own contract, and the common audit refused the answer. A manifest is read twice, by manifestValidators to build the gate and by renderContractRequirements to build the prompt block, so the two surfaces cannot disagree by construction.
