## Problem

A platform team is launching a contract program across eight pipelines that have run for years without one. Compose the program. Each contract is enforced in producer CI and at the ingestion gate; the five pillars are monitored on each curated table; operational and quality SLAs are stated separately with separate paging paths; thresholds are tuned against 90 days of history; the legacy rollout follows the four-step pattern (document, inventory, observe, enforce versioned). Show one representative pipeline on the canvas with every piece wired so the program is operable on day one.
