Research

This section is the research desk for fq-compressor. Use it when your question is not "how do I run it?" but "which papers, repositories, and project-posture decisions explain why it looks like this?"

Index

• References: papers and repositories grouped by what they explain.
• Open-source comparative study: where fq-compressor follows, diverges from, or constrains itself against adjacent tools.
• Evolution notes: why closeout mode changes documentation and implementation priorities.

Repository anchors worth keeping open

• benchmark/results/: tracked benchmark outputs
• ref-projects/: comparison-target notes and local study anchors
• vendor/spring-core/: extracted Spring-derived reference code
• openspec/specs/: living requirements and capability specs

Archive note

Historical research and superseded working documents remain in docs/archive/. Keep them for provenance, but treat the current docs, benchmark artifacts, and OpenSpec material as the live public source of truth.
