Pull Request Overview
This PR adds a new glossary entry for "Contract account" to the Stellar documentation, providing a clear definition of this Soroban-specific account type that enables custom authorization logic through smart contracts.
- Added "Contract account" entry to the glossary with a clear, accurate definition
- Entry is properly positioned alphabetically between "Clawback" and "Contract token"
- Definition aligns with existing documentation about contract accounts in the codebase
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
| ### Contract account | ||
|
|
||
| An account that is implemented as a smart contract, allowing the contract to define custom authorization logic and on-chain policy enforcement before authorization succeeds instead of relying on built-in protocol features. | ||

[nitpick] Consider adding a reference link to the relevant documentation for consistency with other glossary entries. Many entries include a "See" or "Learn more" line linking to additional documentation. For example:
See the [Contract Account example](../build/smart-contracts/example-contracts/custom-account.mdx) for more information.
This would help readers learn more about contract accounts and follows the established pattern in the glossary.
