Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate** ## Record status **Record ID**: field-guide:citation-rules **Parent lifecycle**: candidate **Page lane**: plan **Lane lifecycle**: proposed **Owner**: Socrates **Owner role**: Not separately recorded **Owner status**: Not separately recorded **Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review **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. ## Hypothetical scenarios A reviewer opens the Citation rules guide for bounded local rehearsals. Every fixture uses invented placeholders, performs no provider or external action, and remains held until source evidence and human review are recorded. ### 1. Guided inquiry fixture A reviewer records a bounded question, links only supplied source references, and marks every unanswered point Needs review. **Fixture ID**: citation-rules-example-001 **Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only **Decision**: HELD · human review required **External effects**: None ### 2. Source comparison fixture A reviewer compares two hypothetical source locators, preserves disagreement, and holds any conclusion until provenance is supplied. **Fixture ID**: citation-rules-example-002 **Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only **Decision**: HELD · human review required **External effects**: None ### 3. Uncertainty and pathway fixture A reviewer constructs a local procedure or study pathway with checkpoints while labelling uncertainty and leaving external effects Held. **Fixture ID**: citation-rules-example-003 **Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only **Decision**: HELD · human review required **External effects**: None ### 4. Potentially allowed claim fixture A hypothetical claim may advance only when its exact evidence locator, scope, reviewer, and decision rationale are recorded; this fixture asserts no fact. **Fixture ID**: citation-rules-example-004 **Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only **Decision**: HELD · human review required **External effects**: None ### 5. Held claim fixture A hypothetical unsupported claim remains Held with missing evidence and human-review rationale visible; it is not published or indexed. **Fixture ID**: citation-rules-example-005 **Evidence**: Hypothetical source placeholders only **Decision**: HELD · human review required **External effects**: None ## Filled example fields ### Scope and ownership fixture Define what is being cited, who owns the record, and what work is allowed. **record title**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **claim or question**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **owner agent**: Named human or Agent owner required **related job**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **audience**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **visibility**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed ### Source identity fixture Capture enough source identity to distinguish evidence without asserting unverified access or publication. **source locator**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim) **source title or label**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim) **source type**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim) **source SHA-256 if available**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim) **origin**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **provenance statement**: Held — pending human review ### Claim mapping fixture Connect each claim to a precise source location and explicitly mark support quality. **claim text**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **claim scope**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **locator detail**: fixture-source-001 (hypothetical; no external claim) **support status**: Held — pending human review **direct quote or paraphrase marker**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed **interpretation notes**: Example value to be supplied and reviewed ## Review questions - A citation record cannot be marked supported unless it contains a source title, source locator, claim text, support excerpt or explicit reason no excerpt applies, and an owner. - A quotation preserves its locator and is visibly distinguished from paraphrase or interpretation. - A missing or ambiguous locator produces a Held or Needs review state rather than a fabricated locator. - Every citation receipt links to a canonical record ID and preserves revision and provenance metadata. - A supplied checksum mismatch is surfaced as a failure and prevents the citation from being marked integrity-checked. - A matching SHA-256 is displayed as an integrity observation only, with no authority or authenticity claim. - Contradictory sources remain separately linked and are not collapsed into a single unsupported conclusion. - Private and held records do not appear in a public or broadly visible citation set. ## Sources and evidence These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment. - `source_record:field-guide:citation-rules` - `agents/index.html#socrates` - `field-guide:citation-rules:plan` - `Observed native contract: records preserve canonical IDs, origin, source locators, source SHA-256, provenance, revision, lifecycle, tags, links, attachments, and record revisions` - `Observed native contract: PointGuard is a persistent cross-app context surface while specialist apps remain execution and canonical-record owners` - `Observed app route: /app/notebook/field-guides/` - `Observed app route: /app/notebook/notes/` - `Observed app route: /app/notebook/files/` - `Observed app route: /app/notebook/to-dos/` - `Observed app route: /app/notebook/approvals/` - `Observed app route: /app/notebook/agent-logs/` - `Allowed instrument: checksum-verifier` - `field-guide:citation-rules:tools` - `OBSERVED_NATIVE_CONTRACT.records` - `OBSERVED_NATIVE_CONTRACT.pointguard` - `/app/notebook/field-guides/` - `/app/notebook/notes/` - `/app/notebook/files/` - `/app/notebook/approvals/` - `/app/notebook/agent-logs/` - `/app/notebook/search/` - `checksum-verifier` - `sha-256-hash-function-demo`
