description	Implements and updates Pyllments payload structures and usage contracts between elements. Use when adding payload types, changing payload schemas, or adjusting payload handling in ports and elements.

Payloads Authoring

Payload responsibilities

• Treat payloads as structured data contracts between elements.
• Keep payload schemas explicit and stable across connected ports.
• Ensure payload data is sufficient for receiving element behavior.

Integration guidance

• Confirm emitters pack payload fields consistently.
• Confirm receivers validate and use payload fields safely.
• Keep payload evolution backward-aware where possible.

Authoring checklist

• Payload structure is documented in code or docstrings.
• Sender and receiver expectations match.
• Port compatibility remains intact after schema changes.
• Tests cover common and edge-case payload paths.
