+SDK-based contract schema extraction using Python reflection.
+
+This module provides a faster alternative to GenVM-based schema extraction
+by using the genlayer-py-std SDK's reflection capabilities directly.
+Performance improvement: ~50-100ms vs ~200-300ms with GenVM.
+
+The approach:
+1. Mock _genlayer_wasi (the WASI module that provides storage/balance ops)
+2. Set GENERATING_DOCS=true to enable doc-generation mode in the SDK
+3. Import the contract source and find the Contract class
+4. Use genlayer.py.get_schema() for reflection-based schema extraction
