# Frontend → Backend requests (append-only)

The frontend lane appends here when it needs a contract that doesn't exist yet, finds a shape mismatch,
or needs a new field/filter/endpoint. The backend agent reads this at the start of each phase and
delivers fixes in its own change. **Frontend never edits backend code to "fix" a gap — it requests it.**

<!-- TEMPLATE — copy per request
