+# Documents Page Contract
+
+## Purpose
+
+Documents manages the archival record for each historical artifact independently of its source files and transcription jobs. A Document can be created first, linked to people in one or more roles, and used later as the parent for Sources and Jobs.
+
+## Routes
+
+| Route | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/documents` | Searchable archival Document list. |
+| `/documents/new` | Create a Document. |
+| `/documents/{document_id}` | View one Document and its related records. |
+| `/documents/{document_id}/edit` | Edit metadata and people-by-role links. |
+| `/documents/{document_id}/delete` | Confirm or block deletion. |
+| `/documents/{document_id}/jobs` | Show Jobs belonging to the Document. |
+| `/documents/{document_id}/sources` | Redirect to the Document-filtered Sources list. |
+
+## List Behavior
+
+- The title is **Archival Documents**.
+- **Create new document** opens the create route.
+- The table defaults to Document Title order and supports search and column sorting.
+- Columns are Document Title, Type, Author, Document Date, and Archive Ref.
+- Document Title is left-aligned; the remaining columns are centered.
+- Author lists all linked people in the `author` role.
+- Date display prefers exact date, then approximate date, then `Unknown`.
+- Selecting a row opens Document Detail.
+- No records displays `No documents found in repository.`
+
+## Create and Edit Behavior
+
+Required:
+
+- Document name.
+- Document type selected from the Document Type registry.
+
+Optional:
+
+- Exact date.
+- Approximate date.
+- Document location.
+- Archive identifier.
+- Notes.
+- Multiple people for every configured Person Role.
+
+Rules:
+
+- Exact date must parse as `YYYY-MM-DD`; browser presentation may follow locale.
+- Existing people appear with disambiguating labels.
+- **Create new person** opens Person creation.
+- `person_id` may preselect that Person in the author role on Document creation.
+- An invalid requested Person produces a warning rather than a broken form.
+- `return_to=jobs_new` returns a successful create to Job creation with the new Document selected.
+- Edit includes active and inactive Document Types so historical values remain maintainable.
+- Save success returns to Document Detail.
+
+## Detail Behavior
+
+- The heading shows name, type, and internal ID.
+- The first Source, when present, appears in the dark-room viewer.
+- Archival Metadata shows authors, compact Document date, location, and archive identifier. Notes appear in a separate archival-notes block within the same card.
+- System Logistics shows created and updated timestamps.
+- Related People are grouped by role and link to Person Detail.
+- **Sources & Pipeline Jobs** shows counts and actions for filtered Sources, Document Jobs, and adding a Job.
+- **Edit Document** and **Delete** are available from the header.
+- Invalid IDs and missing Documents produce explicit states without rendering a partial page.
+
+## Document Jobs Behavior
+
+- The page lists the Document's Jobs newest first with status and Job ID.
+- **Open Job** navigates to Job Detail.
+- **Create Job** opens Job creation with the Document selected.
+- No jobs displays an explicit empty state.
+
+## Delete Behavior
+
+- Deletion is blocked while any Source or Job belongs to the Document.
+- The blocked state names the dependency categories and provides navigation back and to Jobs.
+- An unlinked Document requires an explicit permanent-delete action.
+- Success returns to the Documents list.
+
+## Acceptance Checklist
+
+- List columns, alignment, search, sorting, date fallback, and row navigation match this contract.
+- Create/edit enforce name, registered type, and valid exact-date input.
+- Multiple people can be selected independently for each configured role.
+- Person-first Document creation preselects the requested Person as author.
+- Detail links people, Sources, and Jobs to the correct records.
+- Delete never removes a Document with Source or Job dependencies.
+- Service failures use the shared error presenter and never report false success.
+
+## Implementation Anchors
+
+- `src/transcription/ui/pages/documents_page.py`
+- `src/transcription/ui/components/table/documents.py`
+- `src/transcription/services/documents.py`
+- `src/transcription/services/people.py`
+- `tests/ui/test_documents_page.py`
+- `tests/services/test_document_service.py`
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- Document creation persists the Document before adding relationship links; a later link failure is surfaced but is not currently one atomic write.
+- Source ordering controls are deferred to the [draft V4.3 scope](../../ver4.3/scope_boundary_v4_3.md).
