Summary

Address the lack of an upgrade path for immutable Clarity contracts by adding version tracking to the core contract and documenting the migration strategy.

Changes

Contract

  • Add contract-version (u1) and contract-name constants
  • Add get-contract-version read-only function for querying version metadata

Documentation

  • New docs/CONTRACT-UPGRADE-STRATEGY.md covering:
    • Parallel deployment (recommended approach)
    • Proxy pattern architecture
    • Accepting immutability with safeguards
    • Migration checklist for new versions
    • Data preservation strategy
    • Emergency procedures

Closes #63

Add contract-version and contract-name constants for identifying
deployed contract instances. Add get-contract-version read-only
function that returns version metadata as a tuple.
Document three upgrade approaches: parallel deployment, proxy
pattern, and accepting immutability. Include migration checklist,
data preservation details, and emergency procedures for handling
critical vulnerabilities in deployed contracts.
