Canonical Specification

The Specification answers what QLens means and requires.

It translates the Foundation into stable definitions, object types, contracts, and invariants.

Evolution specification

The QLens Evolution Specification defines the next architectural stage: Research Space boundaries, graph-first operations, generated registries, structural queries, reasoning integrity, NUR 2, governed AI assistance, plugins, publishing, and phased delivery.

These documents are normative proposals. They do not change canonical behavior until their requirements are implemented, tested, and released through the roadmap gates.
