    summary: >-
      Verified live against Qatar University's public footprint. The strongest
      confirmed developer surface is QSpace, the institutional repository on
      DSpace 7.6, which exposes a working OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint (Identify returns
      repositoryName "Qspace") and a public DSpace REST/HAL API root reporting
      "DSpace 7.6". No dedicated developer portal, open-data API, or published
      mobile/SIS API was found; Self-Service Banner (MyBanner) and SSO/MFA are
      authentication-gated with no open docs. The GitHub org "qataruniversity"
      exists but currently has zero public repositories. No endpoints were
      fabricated; only verified URLs are cataloged.
