=== HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT - VERIFY CURRENT STATE ===
Created: 2025-09-06 via speed-run
WARNING: Based on legacy investigations, not current testing
Status: REQUIRES VERIFICATION

=== CURRENT STATE: Contracts ===
Updated: 2025-09-06

WORKING:
- Complete contract system with legal compliance
- Digital signature functionality with canvas element
- Contract workflow states (draft, active, completed)
- Payment integration for contract completion

BROKEN:
- Signature failure analysis shows canvas issues
- Contract completion approval workflow gaps
- Template generation may have path issues

DEPENDENCIES:
- Jobs: Contracts created from job applications
- Payments: Contract completion triggers payment
- Messaging: Contract negotiations use messaging
- Ratings: Contract completion requires mutual ratings

KEY FILES:
- app/models/contract.py (Contract model)
- app/routes/contracts.py (Contract routes)
- app/templates/contracts/ (Contract templates)

LAST KNOWN WORK:
- Contract system verification report complete
- Signature pad implementation
- Australian legal compliance integration

DANGER ZONES:
- Signature canvas failures break contract signing
- Contract state changes can corrupt workflow
- Payment release failures lock contracts
- Rating requirement blocks contract completion
