+# mesh-contracts
+
+The mesh's seat contracts (novox/hq ADR 0608 §5, ADR 0613, ADR 0620; design 26 *A seat's definition*): one
+language-neutral definition per seat, and the Go and TypeScript types generated from it.
+
+Every file under `go/` and `ts/` is written by the generators of the Go and the Node build modules, never by hand.
+This repository holds contracts only and no seat: a seat's holder implements its contract.
