# Contract store

## Native vSphere stub matrices (`contracts/vsphere/`)

Versioned `manifest.json` files for majors **6–9** (vSphere 7.0 → 8.0 U2).
They are **stub OpenAPI stand-ins** derived from
`app/vsphere/contracts/matrix.py` (handler registry + per-path floors), not
Broadcom OpenAPI dumps.

- Catalog browse and compatibility UI read these bundles.
- `POST /ui/api/contract/apply?major=N` hot-swaps the active **catalog** major
  for Web UI / evidence only; runtime still serves the full registered surface
  (no HTTP 501 from version floor).
- Regenerate: `python scripts/write_vsphere_bundles.py` / `make vsphere-bundles`

## Legacy Proxmox SHA directories

SHA-addressed snapshot directories remain for optional `ENABLE_PVE_STUB=true`
lab mode only. They are **not** used when the native vSphere plane is default.
