+# SCOPE
+
+## Purpose
+
+Develop a framework-independent frontend architecture pattern language for human
+and agent reference, following the preliminary direction in `INTENT.md`.
+
+## In scope
+
+- `canon/`: responsibilities, forces, scales, relations and the pattern schema.
+- `patterns/`: patterns with context, evidence, trade-offs and failure modes.
+- `research/`: sources, interpretations, candidate concepts and counterexamples.
+- `sequences/` and `architectures/`: decisions and configurations through patterns.
+- `technologies/`: descriptive mappings to implementation options.
+- `templates/`: authoring structures and future metadata validation.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Building or operating a frontend application or framework.
+- Ranking frameworks or prescribing a universal architecture.
+- Treating candidate lists or unsourced interpretations as established evidence.
+
+## Current state
+
+Research scaffold as of 2026-09-23. No application runtime, dependency manifest,
+build pipeline or automated test suite is present. See `REVIEW.md` for findings
+and `workplans/` for tracked follow-up work.
+
+## Registration
+
+- Repository: `frontend-patterns`
+- Category: `research`
+- Domain / topic: `infotech / canon`
+- Workplan prefix: `FEP-WP`
+
+The topic groups this research with semantic coordination work; it does not imply
+that the proposed language is an adopted fleet standard.
