# Requirements: v1.16 Contract-Aware Queue Shaping Seed

## Shipped requirements

- **POL-15**: Queue materialization now suppresses obviously mismatched
  runtime-appended actions when the explicit runtime contract already places
  the topic in a different routing posture.
- **POL-16**: Declared contracts remain authoritative; queue shaping only
  affects bounded runtime-appended behavior.
- **DOC-16**: Regression coverage and maintainability budgets now lock the
  first queue-shaping layer.
