Domain — ubiquitous language

Use this read-only library when an AgentOps term or bounded-context boundary needs precise meaning.

Returning the exact contract definition works because two contexts that read the same source line cannot drift apart on a term; a paraphrase reintroduces the ambiguity the lookup exists to remove.

Named failure mode — synonym smuggling: answering with a near-synonym ("close" for "verdict") that quietly imports lifecycle authority the term does not carry.

Anti-pattern: defining a term from memory because the contract file is one read away. Corrective: always cite the definition and its source path from the live contract, even for terms you are sure about.
