• API relationships need durable selections so request and response data and provider dependencies remain unambiguous.
• Retained content, authorization and lifecycle boundaries need a shared contract before implementation.
• Completed resource work should leave the roadmap focused on remaining delivery.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes with no runtime, schema, or authorization code paths modified.

Overview
Adds native-first documentation for the next architecture resource slice—Specification and API contracts—before implementation. The contract reference defines how Specification entities model retained artifacts, members, operations, provider exposures, caller usages, and dependencies, with derived API classification (operations plus at least one provider exposure) and explicit rules that request/response roles, ReadModel mappings, and provider selections stay unambiguous (no invented providers, no provider×operation cross-products, no extra behavioral edges).

The acceptance fixture specifies a connected order-api scenario plus required queries, admission/identity cases, and authorization/lifecycle outcomes; it is criteria only, not executable tests.

Docs index and roadmap are updated: Channel/DataStore are framed as implemented, Specification/API is the next slice (schema/runtime still pending), and the old in-roadmap Channel checklist is removed.

Walkthrough

The documentation adds a first-release Specification and API contract, an acceptance fixture for required behavior and implementation evidence, and roadmap and README updates that describe and link to this material.

Changes

Specification and API documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Specification and API declaration rules docs/reference/specification-and-api-contracts.md	Defines declaration fields, references, artifacts, schemas, messages, operations, provider exposures, usages, and dependencies.
Identity and lifecycle rules docs/reference/specification-and-api-contracts.md	Defines identity, authorization, lifecycle, branch, deletion, and first-release support rules.
Acceptance fixture and roadmap docs/reference/specification-and-api-acceptance.md, docs/explanation/architecture-resource-roadmap.md, docs/README.md	Specifies acceptance behavior and implementation evidence. Updates roadmap scope and adds links to the contract and fixture.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0d7ca

This change adds reference documentation only and does not alter runtime behavior. Two contract gaps remain. The contract does not state what makes a Specification an API, and one acceptance case does not name its foreign Specification exactly. Clarify both so that future implementations and tests agree.

- Line 33: Update the “Foreign-namespace referrer” fixture row to identify the
referring model with an exact key and version, such as foreign-order-api@1,
while preserving its separate namespace and the existing restricted-reader and
incoming-reference scenario.

Review comments at @docs/reference/specification-and-api-contracts.md:
- Around line 11-15: Update the API and Specification definitions to explicitly
distinguish APIs from standalone Specifications: require every API to declare at
least one operation and one provider exposure, or define a clear discriminator
with a corresponding validation rule. Ensure the invariant is stated
consistently wherever API structure is described.
