+# Tabular Source Preview Contract
+
+Core defines provider-neutral DTOs for optional tabular source providers. A
+source declares whether it is live, cached, file-backed, or static; its schema
+and immutable fingerprint; structured health; and the exact projection,
+pagination, filter, aggregation, and sorting operations that the provider can
+push down. Consumers must not infer pushdown support from a provider name.
+
+Every preview request carries independent row, byte, and elapsed-time budgets.
+A provider may tighten these values but must return its effective limits,
+returned byte count, elapsed milliseconds, truncation state, and structured
+diagnostics. Equivalent fields on the Datasources read request and result
+preserve that evidence when a live source is consumed through the catalogue.
+A row that cannot fit within the byte budget fails explicitly rather than
+leaking a partial value. Timeout, stale fingerprint, unavailable source, and
+authorization failures remain distinct provider-neutral errors.
+
+Connector health and preview diagnostics must contain no credentials, endpoint
+userinfo, row values, or unbounded remote error bodies. A Datasource origin
+preserves this contract so registration and staging do not erase source mode,
+health, pushdown, or preview-limit evidence.
