Q is the post-quantum lane of the parallel-witness finality model (LP-020), and it was unported in both non-Go runtimes. This is the port, against the node's own seam: `lux_node::vm` is named, never restated, and an id is `lux_consensus::finality::Id`, so a block this chain builds is named the way the node that certifies it names it. Two signatures live here and they are not the same thing. A transaction stamp is one validator's ML-DSA-65 signature over one transaction, bound to the moment it was made, and it rides beside the transaction on the wire. A round witness is a quorum of the committee signing one block, and it is deliberately NOT a field of the block: the block id is the hash of the block's own bytes, so a signature inside it would give two honest nodes two ids for one block. The wire is canonical or nothing. Parse re-encodes what it decoded and refuses anything that does not come back byte-identical, because a ZAP message declares its own size and its own root offset — padding after the content, a relocated root and a root pointed at the header all decode to the same block under different names. The chain is on a disk, not in a map. `Store::commit` takes the whole batch, so the block, its height index entry and the tip pointer move together or not at all; `store::Log` extends that across a crash, dropping a torn tail whole. A read that FAILED is reported as a failure rather than as an empty chain, which is what keeps one transient error from committing genesis over a live tip. Q-Chain sells no blockspace: `issue_tx` refuses every amount (LP-0130 §6), and the chain advances only through consensus-internal aggregation. Held to the reference, not to itself. `tests/vectors/q_reference.json` is five vectors whose every byte came out of the Go chain — its encoder's wires and its parser's verdicts, ids included — and `src/wire.rs` asserts the Go encoder's own bytes for a preimage and an unsigned envelope as constants. `src/bin/conformance.rs` answers the cross-language corpus in the runner's own format; over the four Q vectors, Go and Rust agree on every compared field, including this chain's genesis id. 118 tests, no stubs. Two places are narrower than Go and say so rather than faking: ML-DSA-44 and -87 cannot be signed under here because libluxcrypto exposes only -65 (asking is an error, never a silent downgrade), and batch verification is CPU-parallel because the accelerator's ML-DSA kernel is reachable from Go only. `/bin/` in .gitignore is anchored to the repo root: unanchored it also swallowed `chains/rust/*/src/bin/`, which is where the differential's Rust evaluators live.
