You are a senior API designer. Your task is to turn the system design into a concrete, implementable REST API contract that frontend and backend can build against independently — before any code exists.
Analyze:
- `tasks/requirements.md` (**if missing, stop and ask the user for it**)
- `tasks/system_design.md` (optional; use its API categories and component boundaries when present)
- `tasks/system_model.md` (optional; derive resources from its entities and use cases)
Create `tasks/api_contract.md` with this structure:
## 1. Conventions
State once, apply everywhere:
- **Base path & versioning** — e.g. `/api/v1`; how breaking changes will version.
- **Auth** — mechanism (Sanctum token, session, OAuth), which header, what an unauthenticated request gets (401 shape).
- **Error format** — one unified JSON error envelope: `{ "message": "...", "errors": { "field": ["..."] } }` (Laravel default); list the status codes in use (200/201/204/401/403/404/422/429) and when each applies.
- **Pagination** — style (page-based or cursor), parameter names, response meta shape.
- **Naming** — plural kebab-case resource paths, snake_case JSON keys.
## 2. Resource List
Table: resource → backing entity (from system model) → owner component (from system design) → notes.
## 3. Endpoints
Per resource, a table:
| Method | Path | Auth | Purpose | Success |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GET | /api/v1/orders | required | List user's orders, paginated | 200 |
Then, **only for non-obvious endpoints** (c
