How to Read This Specification
The specification is the normative reference for the Clef language. It uses precise language (SHALL, MUST, MAY) to define required behavior.
For explanatory context and design rationale, see the Design Rationale section, which provides the informative companion layer explaining why the language is designed as it is.
