This page is proposal-only. Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate** ## Record status **Record ID**: field-guide:apple-capability-index **Parent lifecycle**: candidate **Page lane**: docs_urls **Lane lifecycle**: proposed **Owner**: Tim **Owner role**: Not separately recorded **Owner status**: Not separately recorded **Qualification result**: NOT RUN ยท held for evidence and human review **Working browser surface:** [Field guides โ€” documentation]() โ€” Inspect the guide and persist local checkpoints. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held. ## Qualification status **Result**: NOT RUN **Disposition**: HELD **Reviewer**: Not recorded **Receipt**: Not recorded This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the docs_urls lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect. ### Lane-specific instrument aids No verified instrument is assigned to this qualification lane. ## Outcome definitions **Verified**: All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect. **Failed**: One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason. **Needs review**: Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer. **Held**: Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent. The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only. ## Proposed deterministic acceptance tests Route-resolution and distinct-content checks apply only to the admitted canonical routes in this record. Held source-proposed extensions are non-resolving proposals and are excluded. - Every documentation route has a distinct purpose and includes content not duplicated verbatim by the other routes. - The overview route states the guide purpose, audience, proposal-only lifecycle, record ownership, and held claims. - The steps route contains an ordered workflow from scope through evidence, comparison, handoff, and review. - The tools route lists only observed native surfaces and explains their bounded role; it does not claim connected web behavior. - The forms route exposes implementable fields for scope, provenance, comparison, and qualification. - The examples route uses clearly labelled hypothetical examples and does not present deployment or qualification as fact. - The qualification route distinguishes documented, locally prototyped, needs review, and held states without declaring any Apple capability production-ready. - The related-jobs route links only the supplied related jobs and explains the handoff value of each link. - Each capability record preserves canonical ID, origin, source locator, SHA-256, provenance, revision, lifecycle, tags, links, and attachments when available. - Missing evidence, conflicting sources, unavailable platform behavior, accessibility gaps, and unsupported production assumptions produce visible held or needs-review states. - Forms are keyboard operable, use explicit labels, preserve focus and error context, and do not rely on color alone for lifecycle state. - No route claims provider connection, credentials, database authority, customer indexing, publication, deployment, or qualification. ## Negative and held-state tests - A named Apple framework or native surface may be mistaken for a connected or implemented Guth feature. - Platform versions, device availability, permissions, and behavior may change; source freshness must remain visible. - App Intents, Spotlight, sync, and cross-device behavior can create privacy, identity, and data-ownership ambiguity. - PointGuard context could be mistaken for canonical record ownership; specialist apps remain execution and record owners. - Accessibility requirements may be omitted if comparison records focus only on feature availability. - Hypothetical examples may be copied as production claims unless clearly marked proposed or held. - Source URLs or local file references may be incomplete, inaccessible, stale, or unverifiable. ## Qualification claim boundary ### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence - This is a proposed, source-backed guide structure for investigating Apple capabilities. - The guide can document questions, evidence, comparisons, open issues, and human review receipts. - Observed GuthHub routes provide prototype or index surfaces for local notes, files, projects, approvals, logs, search, and PointGuard context. - Qualification states can be represented as needs review, approved, or held when supported by preserved evidence. ### Still held - No Apple capability is claimed to be implemented, deployed, connected, indexed for customers, published, or production-ready. - No provider, credential, database, customer, or external publication effect is claimed. - No App Intents, Spotlight, SwiftUI, sync, cross-device, or native integration is claimed to be qualified. - No instrument is designated because the supplied verified-instrument directory contains no necessary Apple capability-index instrument. - No production qualification, customer indexing, or release approval is implied by the existence of this guide. ## Sources and evidence These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment. - `source_record:field-guide:apple-capability-index` - `agents/index.html#tim` - `observed native contract: project_and_field_guide_collections` - `observed native contract: deadlines` - `observed native contract: records` - `observed native contract: pointguard` - `app route: /app/notebook/field-guides/` - `app route: /app/notebook/notes/` - `app route: /app/notebook/files/` - `app route: /app/notebook/projects/` - `app route: /app/notebook/approvals/` - `app route: /app/notebook/agent-logs/` - `app route: /app/notebook/search/` - `app route: /app/pointguard/`
