Description

The usage of the terms "downloaded schema", "golden schema" & "provider generated schema" in README.md are a bit ambiguous, it would be great to clarify them.

image

Also, to understand how the "golden schema" comes to be, when it's updated etc.

From reading the code, it looks like the provider-generated schema is expected to be identical (whitespace notwithstanding) to the golden schema.

And the golden schema (which is identical to the provider-generated schema) should be compatible with the downloaded pact (according to json-schema-diff).

Research direction

Start with README.md and the existing descriptions of the downloaded, golden, and provider-generated schemas. Trace how the golden schema is created and updated, then document the relationship between the provider-generated schema, golden schema, downloaded pact, and json-schema-diff so the terminology and expected compatibility are explicit.
