Racket contracts turn informal module assumptions into checked boundaries. See how `provide/contract` and `->i` catch API misuse early, and what they cost at runtime.

racketCatch Module Boundary Bugs with Racket Contracts
Use provide/contract to wrap Racket exports with runtime predicates and get precise blame errors when modules violate their agreements.
Racket Contracts: Let the Runtime Tell You Which Module Broke the Deal
Racket's contract system checks module boundaries at runtime and, crucially, assigns blame to the module that actually broke the agreement — turning vague downstream crashes into one-line diagnoses.
Racket module boundaries and contract enforcement: retroactive wrapping of unannotated exports
In Racket, the contract system is designed to enforce runtime checks on function inputs and outputs across module boundaries. A common integration scenario arises when one module exports a function without a contract-out annotation, and a downstream module wishes to enforce a stricter contract on that import without modifying the upstream source. The standar
