The Verifier CLI readme is confusing about what Pact specifications it supports. In practice, all versions are supported but the README suggests only V3 is covered.
Given that the CLI is built using the rust_verifier library, which explicitly states it implements V3 and V4, the README is clearly out of date.
Moreover, the tool accepts older specification formats too, because the pact_models library converts these to V3 contracts anyway. So in practice, you can use it to verify contracts using any Pact schema version, from V1 through to V4.
