QLens Platform

QLens 8.1 extends the local-first platform with a secured browser portal while preserving the repository as the canonical source of truth without replacing the repository as the canonical source of truth.

The platform adds five coordinated capabilities:

1. an immutable event stream beside canonical objects;
2. explicit research workflows;
3. Research Query Language (RQL);
4. NUR 3 research-explorer views;
5. a stable Python plugin SDK and portable import/export boundary.

Events are audit records, not a hidden replacement database. Canonical YAML objects remain authoritative. Derived registries, NUR pages, indexes, and event projections can always be rebuilt or inspected.

Web portal

The runtime portal provides login, dashboard, repository, research, publication and owner-only administration views. See QLens Web Portal.
