Stage 4 Article Contract Fixtures

What problem does it solve?

Stage 4 Article Contract Fixtures streamline end-to-end testing by guaranteeing that tests produce both discussion-summary.md and article-contract.md before advancing to stage 5, preventing guard errors and flaky runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enforces dual-artifact presence when advancing from stage 4 to stage 5
• Provides a standard article-contract.md template for consistency
• Includes helper patterns that auto-write required artifacts during stage transitions in test suites
• Use Case: End-to-end tests covering lifecycle flows from stage 1 through stage 7+ where missing fixtures would trigger guard errors

Quick Start

When writing tests, ensure both discussion-summary.md and article-contract.md exist before advancing from stage 4 to stage 5.
