Auto generate the contract. That might be easier in some languages like TypeScript or Java, but it’s just done as part of the build.

You don’t actually want that.

Code should not inform design.

Design informs code.

Use the code to do the design. Don’t implement the damn thing. Just work in a nicer medium like Typescript. Add attributes. Remove attributes. Move things around in the refactoring tool. Then generate the doc. Forget about the whole “this is what the database does” stuff.
