+### Contract 1.7: the lessons view in Python and Go (story 23.4)
+
+- **Contract 1.7** (add-only: every earlier file is unchanged; [what 1.7 adds](contract/README-1.7.md)) publishes what
+  the .NET lessons view reads and answers. `contract/sql/list-experience-lessons.sql` holds the .NET store's page-with-
+  injections statement line for line (the lessons page and each record's last injection in one bounded statement), its
+  status-filtered form, and the two forms that leave the injections out for a schema that cannot read the injections
+  table. The new `lessons-view` fixture family is generated by the .NET lessons view over PostgreSQL with a fixed clock:
+  each lesson's status, confidence, checks, rendered block text (byte-equal to `RenderAlone`), eligibility and reason,
+  last injection and count, and the page's `hasMore`, `outOfScopeDropped` and `injectionsTracked`. The .NET view and the
+  statements run as written must give the same rows. No .NET library behaviour or public API changed.
+- **Python and Go can list what an agent learned.** Both ports add a read-only lessons API (Python `agentexperience.lessons`,
+  Go `Lessons` in the root module with the stores' page reads) reachable from the one-call setup and constructible from a
+  store, under the caller's authorization and own scope only, never writing, and now claim contract 1.0 to 1.7. A record
+  that cannot be rendered is listed as `Unrenderable`. `Expired` and `ContentUnconfirmed` do not exist in the ports (no
+  maximum-age policy, no provenance signing); HTML rendering is not provided.

+# Contract 1.7: additions
+
+This page lists what contract 1.7 adds to [contract 1.0](README.md), [contract 1.1](README-1.1.md),
+[contract 1.2](README-1.2.md), [contract 1.3](README-1.3.md), [contract 1.4](README-1.4.md),
+[contract 1.5](README-1.5.md) and [contract 1.6](README-1.6.md). Those pages are still normative and unchanged: a minor
+version only adds files, this page among them. The contract's version is the one `lock.json` records
+(`contractVersion`), which the .NET suite holds in `ContractFiles.ContractVersion`.
+
+A port that passes contract 1.7 passes every 1.0 to 1.6 fixture and the fixtures below.
+
+## The lessons view
+
+The .NET library lists what it has learned in a scope: `AgentExperienceLessons.ListAsync`
+([`AgentExperienceLessons.cs`](../src/AgentExperience.MicrosoftAgentFramework/AgentExperienceLessons.cs)). From 1.7, a
+port may list the same lessons, and prove that it answers what .NET answers for the same rows: each lesson's status,
+confidence and checks, the block text an agent in that scope would be shown for it, why retrieval would not use it
+when it would not, and when it was last injected.
+
+A port that does not implement 1.7 keeps passing 1.6.
+
+## What 1.7 adds
+
+- **SQL:** [`sql/list-experience-lessons.sql`](sql/list-experience-lessons.sql): the page of records with each record's
+  last injection in one statement, and the same page without the injections. No privileges file: the 1.0 and 1.4
+  privileges already grant everything these statements read.
+- **Fixtures:** `lessons-view` (PostgreSQL; an in-memory store runs it too, see below).
+
+Nothing else changes: no schema object is added, and every existing file is byte-identical. The statements are the
+.NET `PostgresExperienceRecordStore`'s `QueryWithInjectionsAsync` and `QueryAsync` statements, line for line: a contract
+test joins each statement's lines with single spaces and compares it with the .NET text.
+
+## The view is read-only and in the caller's own scope
+
+A port's list call takes the caller's authorization bounds and the scope to list, and never writes. The scope listed is
+the caller's own: records another scope lends through a sharing grant are not listed (there are no grants in contract
+1.x). When the scope lies outside the bounds the call runs no statement and answers an empty page with the outcome
+`Denied`; a query that is refused (below) answers `Invalid` or raises, as the port's idiom has it. No outcome other than
+`Found` is an exception, and none carries a lesson.
+
+**The query** has three options:
+
+| Option | Meaning | Default | Valid |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `statuses` | the lifecycle statuses to list | every status | absent, or at least one, each one of `Candidate`, `Validated`, `Quarantined`, `Contested`, `Stale`, `Superseded`, `Revoked`, `Reinforced` (a repeated status counts once) |
+| `limit` | how many lessons to list at most | 50 | 1 to 500 |
+| `includeIneligible` | whether to list lessons retrieval would not return | true | |
+
+An invalid `statuses` or `limit` is refused before any statement runs.
+
+## The page
+
+**The read.** In one transaction that declared the bounds for the scope, run `page` (`page-with-statuses` when the
+query names statuses), with `@limit` the **probe**:
+
+- `includeIneligible`: `min(limit + 1, 500)`, one record past the limit, which tells "exactly the limit" from "more
+  exist";
+- otherwise 500, because leaving ineligible lessons out can skip any number of records.
+
+The statement answers the scope's live records, newest first (`created_at` descending, then `experience_id`
+ascending), each with its last injection (columns 19 and 20, both NULL for a record never injected). An in-memory store
+orders the same way.
+
+**When the injections cannot be read** -- the statement fails with `undefined_table` (SQLSTATE `42P01`, the injections
+table is not migrated) or `insufficient_privilege` (`42501`, the application role has not been granted it: re-run the
+privileges, see [1.4](README-1.4.md)) -- roll that transaction back, open a new one that declares the same bounds, and run
+`page-without-injections` (`page-without-injections-with-statuses`): the same page with no injection summary. The page
+then says its **injections are not tracked** (below). Any other failure is the call's failure. A store with no
+injections table at all (an in-memory store of a port that records none) is not tracked in the same way.
+
+**From records to lessons**, over the records in the order read:
+
+1. A record whose scope is not exactly the scope listed is not shown, and counts in `outOfScopeDropped`. (A conforming
+   store never answers one; the check is defence.)
+2. The record is described as a lesson (next section), and when its injection summary exists the lesson takes its
+   `lastInjectedAt` and `injectionCount`. A record with no summary, or any record of a page whose injections are not
+   tracked, has `lastInjectedAt` null and `injectionCount` 0.
+3. With `includeIneligible` false, an ineligible lesson is skipped.
+4. When `limit` lessons are already listed, the record proves more exist: `hasMore` is true and the walk stops.
+   Otherwise the lesson is listed.
+
+After the walk, `hasMore` is also true when the read answered as many records as the probe asked for (the store may
+hold more than were read).
+
+**The page** is: `outcome`, `generatedAt` (the port's clock when the page was read), `hasMore`, `outOfScopeDropped`,
+`injectionsTracked` (true when the page was read with its injections: an in-memory or PostgreSQL store that tracks
+them and was able to read them; false otherwise, and then a null `lastInjectedAt` means "not known", not "never") and
+`lessons`. A page that is not `Found` has no lessons, `hasMore` false, `outOfScopeDropped` 0 and `injectionsTracked`
+false.
+
+## One lesson
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| `experienceId` | the record's ID, lower-case hyphenated |
+| `taskId` | the record's task ID; empty when it has none |
+| `status` | the status, by name |
+| `confidence` | the record's reuse confidence, as stored |
+| `createdAt`, `updatedAt` | the record's instants |
+| `checks` | the outcome's evidence, in stored order, each `checkId`, `evidenceKind` (the evidence's `kind`) and `result` (`Pass`, `Fail`, ...); never the evidence's detail. None when the outcome holds no evidence |
+| `blockText` | the Historical Reference block for this record alone, below |
+| `isEligible` | true when no ineligibility applies |
+| `ineligibility`, `ineligibleReason` | the code and the words, null when eligible |
+| `lastInjectedAt`, `injectionCount` | from the injection summary, above |
+
+**The block** is what an agent in this scope would be shown for the record, rendered by the same writer the
+[inject](README.md) family fixtures, with the port's injection options, for **this record only, numbered 1, with no
+ranking and no record or byte limit**: the block of a one-record list whose record has no score and no components, so its
+`Matched:` line reads `no ranking data`. It is rendered whatever the record's status and size, and its bytes are the
+bytes the writer produces: `blockText` is byte-equal to .NET's (`ExperienceContextProvider.RenderAlone`).
+
+**Eligibility** is decided in this order, and the first rule that applies is the lesson's `ineligibility` (the code is
+the name below):
+
+| Code | Applies when | `ineligibleReason` |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `Status` | the status is not `Validated` or `Reinforced` | `status <Status> is never retrieved` |
+| `BelowConfidenceFloor` | the confidence is not at least 0.5 (a NaN is below it) | `confidence <c> is below the retrieval floor 0.50` |
+| `ModelAuthored` | the lesson's reflection was written by a model and the port's settings exclude model-authored lessons | `model-authored lessons are excluded` |
+| `OverByteBudget` | none of the above, and the block's UTF-8 length is more than the injection block's maximum bytes (16384 by default) | `its block (<n> bytes) is larger than the <max>-byte injection budget` |
+| `Unrenderable` | rendering the block raised | `it could not be rendered (<error type>)` |
+
+`<c>` and the floor are written with two decimals, taken to 15 significant digits first and then rounded half away from zero
+(.NET's `ToString("0.00")`), and `(unavailable)` for a number that is not finite. `<n>` and `<max>` are decimal integers.
+An unrenderable record is listed with no checks, an empty `blockText`, `isEligible` false and its `Unrenderable` code,
+and never hides the others; its `<error type>` is the port's own name for the failure and is not fixtured.
+
+`.NET` has two more codes, `Expired` (a retrieval policy's maximum age) and `ContentUnconfirmed` (provenance signing).
+**They do not exist in a port**, which has neither a maximum-age policy nor provenance signing, so a port never answers
+them; the fixtures use .NET's defaults, under which they never occur, and the confidence floor (0.5) and block budget
+(16384 bytes) are .NET's defaults too. The fixtures also leave model-authored lessons included, so `ModelAuthored` is a
+port's own test.
+
+## HTML
+
+The .NET library renders a page as HTML (`ExperienceLessonsHtml`). A port does not; the contract does not cover it.
+
+## The fixtures
+
+```
+fixtures/lessons-view/<case>/   seed.json + query.json -> expected.json (needs PostgreSQL)
+```
+
+Each case is run against a database set up as for 1.0 (with the 1.4 privileges, so the injections table is readable):
+
+1. Insert `seed.json`'s `records` exactly as a search seed is inserted (the eighteen record columns, as the application
+   role, under bounds declared for each record's scope), and its `injections` as record-injection seeds are inserted
+   ([README-1.4](README-1.4.md): rows of `agent_experience.experience_injections`, every column in PostgreSQL's text form,
+   as the schema's owner).
+2. Call the port's list with `query.json`: `scope` (which is also the caller's bounds), `statuses` (`null`: every
+   status), `limit`, `includeIneligible`, and `now`, the clock the port reads the page with.
+3. The page must equal `expected.json`: `outcome`, `generatedAt`, `hasMore`, `outOfScopeDropped`, `injectionsTracked`
+   and `lessons` in order, each lesson with the fields above (`confidence` compares exactly; `lastInjectedAt` and the
+   other instants compare as instants, to the microsecond; `blockText` compares byte for byte).
+
+A store that is not PostgreSQL runs the same cases by holding the records and injections in memory: a port's in-memory
+store must give the pages above too, with its injections recorded at the instants `seed.json` names and counted as it
+names.
