CodeClone Contracts Book

This book is the contract-level documentation for CodeClone v1.x.

All guarantees here are derived from code and locked tests. If a statement is not enforced by code/tests, it is explicitly marked as non-contractual.

How to read

• Start with Intro → Architecture map → Terminology.
• Then read the contract spine: Exit codes → Core pipeline → Baseline → Cache → Report.
• Everything else is supporting detail, invariants, and reference.
