# Comparison Bundle Contract
A comparison bundle is the durable, flat artifact produced when one report is
executed with multiple explicit Promptkit profiles. This document is the
canonical contract for consumers of those bundles. Command invocation and JSON
action summaries belong to the [CLI reference](../cli.md); destination handling
and retention belong to the [operations guide](../operations.md).
## Version And Layout
The current and only supported manifest schema version is
`weatherreporter.comparison.v1`. A bundle directory contains exactly these
regular, non-symlinked files:
```text
comparison.json
data-package.yml
NN-profile-slug.md
```
`comparison.json` is the manifest and `data-package.yml` is the exact YAML
input supplied to every selected profile. There is one Markdown file for each
successful result and none for failed results. `NN` is the one-based selected
profile position, zero padded to at least two digits (and widened only when
needed for 100 or more profiles). The profile slug preserves ASCII letters,
digits, `-`, and `_`; each run of other characters becomes one `-`; edge `-`
and `_` characters are removed; the value is capped at 64 bytes; and an empty
slug becomes `profile`. Logical profile IDs remain authoritative in the
manifest.
All manifest paths are basenames relative to the bundle root. They never use
path separators, `.` or `..`. The CLI reports absolute paths only after a
bundle has been published.
## Manifest Schema
The manifest is UTF-8 JSON, encoded as two-space-indented JSON with one
trailing newline. Its fields appear in this order:
```text
schemaVersion, comparisonId, startedAt, finishedAt, reportId, validPeriod,
timezone, promptId, promptVersion, promptHash, dataPackage, total, succeeded,
failed, results
```
`validPeriod` contains `start` and `end`; it is a nonempty half-open period.
`dataPackage` contains `path` (always `data-package.yml`) and `sha256` (the
lowercase, 64-character SHA-256 digest of that file's exact bytes). `results`
is in the explicit profile-selection order. Its result-object fields appear in
this order:
```text
position, profileId, backendId, modelName, status, validationStatus,
reportPath, error
```
`startedAt` and `finishedAt` are nonzero UTC timestamps, and the latter is not
earlier than the former. `validPeriod` retains its resolved time offset.
`reportId`, `timezone`, prompt identity, model name, and comparison ID are
nonblank. `promptHash` and `dataPackage.sha256` are lowercase SHA-256 digests.
## Result Invariants
`total` is at least two and equals the number of results. Positions are
contiguous from one, profile IDs are distinct and nonblank, and
`succeeded + failed == total`.
A successful result has `status: "succeeded"`, `validationStatus: "passed"`,
a `reportPath` exactly equal to the canonical `NN-profile-slug.md` filename for
its position, total, and logical profile ID, and no `error`. A failed result has
`status: "failed"`, no `reportPath`, and an `error` object with nonblank
`category` and `message`. Its validation status is absent, `failed`, or
`skipped`. Error messages are valid UTF-8 and no longer than 1,024 bytes.
`backendId` and `validationStatus` are omitted when unavailable.
Every successful Markdown file is declared by exactly one successful result.
The directory contains no extra entries. Consumers can therefore verify the
data-package digest and the full manifest-to-file mapping without scanning a
larger workspace.
## Compatibility And Sensitivity
Weatherreporter recognizes a replaceable bundle only when it exactly satisfies
the current version, schema, file set, file types, relative-path rules, and
data-package digest. JSON field names are case-sensitive canonical names and a
field may appear only once in each manifest object. It rejects unknown,
case-variant, or duplicate fields; multiple JSON values; extra entries;
symlinks; and future or otherwise unsupported versions. Treat a bundle that
fails recognition as an ordinary directory, not as a compatible bundle.
When replacing a recognized bundle, cancellation observed before the new
bundle is installed preserves the prior bundle rather than committing the
replacement.
Cleanup of a prior bundle occurs only after its replacement is committed and
does not affect the new bundle's compatibility. A cleanup error may identify a
complete recovery bundle, partial remnants, no remaining sibling, or an
uninspectable state; this operational state is not recorded in the manifest.
The manifest contains safe operational provenance, but `data-package.yml` and
the generated Markdown can contain sensitive weather or location context. Do
not assume these artifacts are safe for public distribution. Handle retention,
access, and deletion according to the [operations guide](../operations.md).
