What is an intent in Provely?

Intent is what the user asked for. It is the first of the five concepts. A contract records the intent statement and the input schema, so the verdict can compare the outcome with the ask, not with the call.

Example: "Refund USD 142.00 to customer cus_8k2." The intent names the amount and the customer. The action names an endpoint. The two differ, and the difference is where false success hides.
