+# GovOPlaN Contracts
+
+`govoplan-contracts` is the GovOPlaN platform module seed for contract register for renewals, obligations, responsible units, documents, sign-off chains, and vendor or partner references.
+
+This repository is initialized as a discoverable module seed. It exposes a module manifest, initial permissions, role templates, documentation metadata, Gitea workflow templates, and a focused manifest test. It intentionally does not yet add HTTP routes, database models, migrations, or WebUI navigation.
+
+## Initial Ownership
+
+- contract register
+- renewal reminders
+- obligation tracking
+- responsible-unit assignment
+- sign-off chain references
+- vendor and partner links
+
+## Boundaries
+
+This module does not own:
+
+- procurement request execution
+- document storage
+- payment scheduling
+
+Detailed boundary notes are in [docs/CONTRACTS_DOMAIN_BOUNDARY.md](docs/CONTRACTS_DOMAIN_BOUNDARY.md).
+
+## Integrations
+
+Expected optional integrations:
+
+- procurement
+- approvals
+- files
+- records
+- notifications
+- ledger
+
+## Development Install
+
+From the core checkout:
+
+```bash
+cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan-core
+./.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e ../govoplan-contracts
+```
+
+Focused manifest verification:
+
+```bash
+cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan-contracts
+PYTHONPATH=src:/mnt/DATA/git/govoplan-core/src /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan-core/.venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s tests
+```
+
+## Gitea Workflow
+
+Issue templates are installed under `.gitea/`, and the shared label taxonomy is copied to `docs/gitea-labels.json` with the module label `module/contracts`.
+
+From the core checkout, labels can be synced once a local `GITEA_TOKEN` is available:
+
+```bash
+cd /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan-core
+./scripts/gitea-sync-labels.py --root /mnt/DATA/git/govoplan-contracts --apply
+```
