Apple capability index — forms

The distinct forms record for Apple capability index. This page is proposal-only.

Working browser surface: Field guides — documentation — Inspect the guide and persist local checkpoints. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

Proposed form sections

Each section is a candidate schema for inspectable records. Required-field presence does not establish factual truth.

Scope and ownership

Define the capability question, owner, and bounded review scope.

Source binding

Preserve the supplied source relationship and provenance before analysis.

visibility

Capability hypothesis

Describe a possible Apple-platform capability without presenting it as an existing connected feature.

Evidence and qualification

Capture observable evidence, limitations, and qualification outcomes.

Implementation workback

Turn unresolved questions into bounded records with explicit deadlines.

Decision and receipt

Record whether the opportunity is proposed, held, or ready for a later implementation review.

Accessible state contract

Every field requires a visible and programmatic label.
Required and optional fields must be stated in text.
Invalid entries require an actionable message linked to the field.
Blocked and Held states remain visible without relying on color alone.

Supporting documentation fields

These fields come from the tools lane and remain separate from the primary operating form.

Capability identity

Define the capability being indexed without asserting availability or connection.

capability name
Apple platform or framework
OS/device context
candidate category
owner agent
source locator
source SHA-256
canonical record ID

Evidence and boundary

Separate observed source material from assumptions and held implementation effects.

source excerpt
native surface named in source
observed contract or route
evidence type
known limitations
provider or credential dependency
database or customer-data dependency
publication or deployment effect
qualification state

Implementation mapping

Map the capability to bounded local work and an accountable product owner.

Review workback

Create explicit deadlines and review gates before any capability claim is promoted.

discovery due date
technical validation due date
accessibility review due date
approval due date

Qualification receipt

Preserve a deterministic review result and its limits.
