//! Machine-checkable transport contract ledger for the topology/transport boundary.
//!
//! This mirrors the handler-contract surface for first-party transports. It
//! separates:
//!
//! - semantic obligations required for the verified runtime guarantees
//! - operational choices that transports may vary while still preserving those
//!   obligations
//!
//! Third-party transports can still implement [`Transport`] without
//! participating in this ledger, but they remain outside the first-party
//! verified claim unless they separately satisfy and document the same
//! contract.
