The CLI as Repository Guardian

The QLens command-line interface exists to make correct repository behavior easier and invalid behavior harder.

Its responsibilities include:

• generating valid OIDs;
• scaffolding contract-compliant objects;
• validating objects and repositories;
• reporting structural health;
• supporting reproducible automation.

The CLI should not become an oracle. It must not decide whether an explanation is true or whether evidence is persuasive. Those remain research responsibilities.

A good CLI protects invariants while leaving judgment visible and human-accountable.
