QS-DMSS v0.3.0 is looking for careful astronomy/astrophysics software framing feedback before any formal paper or JOSS path.
Important boundary: QS-DMSS is beta software for reproducible package/evidence workflows. It does not claim peer-reviewed scientific validation or validated physical conclusions from the bundled demo.
The most useful feedback would be on overclaiming risk, missing comparison context, solver/validation caveats, and whether the JOSS-preflight framing is appropriately conservative.

## Review target
Please review the current scientific/software framing for a fu… ture JOSS-style submission and public research-paper packet.
Stable baseline: `qs-dmss==0.3.0` / GitHub release `v0.3.0`.
Claim boundary: beta for reproducible package/evidence workflows; not peer-reviewed scientific validation.
Umbrella sprint: #37
## Suggested path
1. Read the reviewer packet and JOSS preflight materials.
2. Check whether the scope is framed as reproducible software infrastructure rather than validated science.
3. Identify the highest-risk wording, missing citation, missing related-work context, or unclear audience assumption.

## Requested feedback
- Is the project scope legible to a reviewer outside the original context?
- Does the beta language set the right expectation?
- What should be improved before asking for formal JOSS or domain-scientist review?
- What related-work or method-context references would strengthen the framing?
Please leave a short comment even if everything passes. Support/stewardship funding is available through Open Collective, but support is not scientific endorsement.
