+
+### Connection Configuration
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `api_endpoint` | String | `https://api.minimax.chat` | MiniMax API base URL |
+| `timeout` | Integer | 30000 | Connection timeout (ms) |
+| `max_connections` | Integer | 100 | Connection pool size |
+| `keep_alive` | Boolean | true | Connection reuse |
+| `retry_count` | Integer | 3 | Max retry attempts |
+
+### Request Flow
+
+1. **Request Building**: Construct API payload with model parameters
+2. **Connection Acquisition**: Get connection from pool
+3. **Request Execution**: Send HTTP POST to MiniMax API
+4. **Response Handling**: Parse JSON response stream
+5. **Connection Release**: Return connection to pool
+
+### Error Handling
+
+| Error Type | HTTP Code | Action |
+|------------|-----------|--------|
+| `ConnectionTimeout` | 408 | Retry with backoff |
+| `RateLimitExceeded` | 429 | Wait and retry |
+| `ServerError` | 5xx | Retry with backoff |
+| `AuthenticationError` | 401 | Fail fast, alert |
+| `InvalidRequest` | 400 | Fail fast, log details |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Output Contracts Analysis
+
+### Contract Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "output_contract": {
+    "version": "1.0",
+    "required_fields": [
+      "content",
+      "model",
+      "usage",
+      "finish_reason"
+    ],
+    "optional_fields": [
+      "tool_calls",
+      "citations",
+      "metadata"
+    ],
+    "validation_rules": {
+      "content": {
+        "type": "string",
+        "min_length": 0,
+        "max_length": 128000
+      },
+      "usage": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "fields": ["prompt_tokens", "completion_tokens", "total_tokens"]
+      },
+      "finish_reason": {
+        "type": "enum",
+        "values": ["stop", "length", "content_filter", "tool_calls"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Validation Pipeline
+
+```
+Raw Response → Schema Validation → Type Coercion → Contract Emit
+     │              │                   │              │
+     ▼              ▼                   ▼              ▼
+  Parse JSON    Check Required    Normalize Types   Emit Valid
+  or Stream     Fields Exist      to Contract      Output
+```
+
+### Contract Enforcement Points
+
+| Stage | Validation | Action on Failure |
+|-------|------------|-------------------|
+| Pre-send | Request schema | Reject before API call |
+| Post-receive | Response schema | Retry or fallback |
+| Stream chunk | Partial schema | Buffer until complete |
+| Final | Full contract | Return or error |

+|-----------|---------|-----------|-------|---------------|
+| **MiniMax** | - | Provides raw response | Reports errors | Emits spans |
+| **Contracts** | Validates input | - | Triggers retry on fail | Logs violations |
+| **Retry** | Wraps calls | May re-validate | - | Counts retries |
+| **Observability** | Instruments | Instruments | Instruments | - |

+- [ ] Add partial validation mode for streaming
+- [ ] Implement contract migration tooling
+
+### Retry Mechanism
+- [ ] Add adaptive retry based on error patterns
+- [ ] Implement request deduplication
+- [ ] Add retry budget tracking
+
+### Observation Points
+- [ ] Add P99 latency tracking
+- [ ] Implement correlation ID propagation
+- [ ] Add cost tracking per request
