Handoff Contract Before Integration

Define the record shape, status, provenance, and delivery boundary before treating two systems as integrated.

Pattern

Define the record shape, status, provenance, and delivery boundary before treating two systems as integrated.

Where it appears

The Databricks-to-AWS-Bedrock CaseOps boundary and related source-preparation notes.

Why it matters

A clear handoff makes downstream review inspectable and keeps source ownership explicit.

Boundary

This does not claim a live production integration or external operator adoption.
