#Make assumptions executable
IronShim-rs works best when compatibility assumptions are represented as narrow contracts rather than ambient folklore.
#Contract surface
The interface names the host expectations, guest-visible behavior, and recovery paths independently.
#Maintenance pressure
Compatibility layers age poorly when the boundary is implicit. The design goal is to keep every translation point inspectable.
#Result
The crate becomes easier to test, easier to review, and less dependent on accidental agreement between layers.
