+# Extension contract alignment
+
+## Goal
+
+Make ops-hub a **conformant domain/aspect hub** under `helixforge.hub-extension`:
+descriptor, reuse-surface id, versioned manifest, health, and consumer
+registration without secrets.
+
+## Author hub package artefacts
+
+```task
+id: OPS-WP-0003-T01
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Produce hub descriptor + capability manifest referencing
+`capability.infotech.ops-hub` (or current registry id), events emitted/consumed,
+and non-secret endpoints.
+
+## Pass Tier 2 conformance against hub-core
+
+```task
+id: OPS-WP-0003-T02
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+When HUB-WP-0004 harness exists, run C1–C10 checks; fix gaps in ops-hub.
+
+## Bootstrap dual-run on consolidated runtime
+
+```task
+id: OPS-WP-0003-T03
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Verify bootstrap/smokes against hub-core-hosted `/api/v2` during CORE-WP-0010
+dual-run and after cutover.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- [ ] Hub package artefacts present and versioned
+- [ ] Tier 2 conformance green (or residual-owned gaps)
+- [ ] Bootstrap works on consolidated runtime
