-**`validateOutputState(int outputIndex, object newState)`**
+SilverScript provides four builtins for state routing and cross-template state inspection.
 
-Validates that `tx.outputs[outputIndex].scriptPubKey` is a P2SH paying to the **same contract code** with **updated state fields**.
+- **Validate Output State**: validate continuation into the same contract template. `newState` must provide every state field exactly once in the local `State` layout.
 
-Small example:
+```js
+validateOutputState(int outputIndex, object newState)
+```
 
-```javascript
+- **Validate Output State With Template**: validate continuation into a foreign contract template. `newState` is encoded using the struct layout implied by the value you pass, then inserted between `templatePrefix` and `templateSuffix`.
+
+```js
+validateOutputStateWithTemplate(
+    int outputIndex,
+    object newState,
+    byte[] templatePrefix,
+    byte[] templateSuffix,
+    byte[32] expectedTemplateHash
+)
+```
+
+- **Read Input State**: read another input as this contract's own `State`.
+
+```js
+readInputState(int inputIndex)
+```
+
+- **Read Input State With Template**: read another input using a foreign struct layout. It checks the foreign template hash and the foreign input's P2SH commitment before decoding.
+
+```js
+readInputStateWithTemplate(
+    int inputIndex,
+    int templatePrefixLen,
+    int templateSuffixLen,
+    byte[32] expectedTemplateHash
+)
+```
+
+Use it with a direct struct binding or destructuring assignment:
+
+```js
+OtherState other = readInputStateWithTemplate(inputIndex, templatePrefixLen, templateSuffixLen, expectedTemplateHash);

-What this checks:
-
-- Reads the current redeem script from the active input sigscript.
-- Keeps the contract tail (the immutable "rest of script") unchanged.
-- Rebuilds a new redeem script using the provided next field values (`count`, `tag`) + the same tail.
-- Computes the P2SH scriptPubKey for that new redeem script.
-- Verifies output `0` has exactly that scriptPubKey.
+Input-side note:
 
-In practice, this enforces that the transaction creates the next valid contract state rather than an arbitrary output script.
+- `readInputState(...)` and `readInputStateWithTemplate(...)` are input-state decoders. They read bytes from another input's sigscript and decode them as state.
+- `readInputState(...)` is appropriate when the surrounding covenant domain guarantees a single allowed contract/layout for the foreign input.
+- `readInputStateWithTemplate(...)` is appropriate when multiple templates may share a covenant domain; it additionally validates the foreign input's template hash and checks that the claimed redeem-script bytes match the foreign input's P2SH `scriptPubKey`.
+- Without those surrounding guarantees, plain `readInputState(...)` would also need extra correlation checks between the foreign input and the inspected part of its sigscript.
