sorry, need to look at the pics more closely!

It’s a heat-treated alloy
It’s a heat-treated alloy frame so very difficult to effectively weld-repair. Only option would be a carbon ‘bandage’ to reinforce the tube joint sufficiently to stop the crack propagating any further. You can buy repair kits from http://www.carbonmods.co.uk

its probably not repairable
its probably not repairable but some companies will offer a “crash damage” replacement.

if you take it to a specialized dealer they will normally offer you a discount of a new frame to get you going.

i certainly wouldnt ride the bike any more.

as i say only most companies do this, not sure if specialized are one
