# Course routes — qualification

The distinct qualification record for Course routes. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:course-routes

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_urls

**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](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/field-guides/>) — 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

## 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.

- The overview route explains the purpose, audience, inputs, outputs, record owners, lifecycle label, and held effects.

- Each documentation route has a distinct title, question, procedure, example shape, failure state, and acceptance check; no route is a keyword-only doorway page.

- The guide is labelled proposed and does not claim deployment, provider connection, database authority, customer indexing, publication, or qualification.

- A reviewer can trace each source comparison to a source-labelled note or file reference with a locator or an explicit missing-locator state.

- A lesson pathway cannot be marked complete without an objective, prerequisite decision, source link or documented source gap, practice activity, and completion condition.

- A study record identifies the learner action, date, related lesson or question, artifact or file reference when applicable, open question, next action, and owner.

- Uncertain claims expose evidence, limitations, alternative interpretations, and a Needs review or Held state.

- Deadline workback produces concrete to-dos with due dates and does not perform external writes.

- Agent logs preserve the proposal, authority boundary, current state, and receipt for Socrates work.

- Forms are keyboard operable, use visible labels, preserve focus and errors, expose status text programmatically, and do not rely on color alone.

- Search results distinguish the field guide, jobs, notes, sources, lesson pathways, study records, and uncertainty records by type and visibility.

- Related-job pages link back to the guide and add job-specific content rather than duplicating the overview.

## Negative and held-state tests

- Confusing a proposed documentation route with a live course, connected provider, or published customer experience.

- Treating Socrates as qualified or authoritative merely because it is named as an owner agent.

- Presenting source summaries as verified facts when provenance, context, or comparison is incomplete.

- Turning lesson lists or due dates into hidden automation or external calendar writes.

- Allowing unsupported conclusions to pass from notes into a lesson brief without an uncertainty state.

- Using educational instruments for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or individualized decisions.

- Creating duplicate notes or conflicting lesson versions without canonical IDs, provenance, revisions, and visible lifecycle.

- Exposing private study records through a public documentation route or search index.

- Accessibility failure in long procedures, forms, status labels, keyboard navigation, or error recovery.

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- This is a proposed field-guide design for course routes.

- The supplied source record associates Course routes with Guided inquiry, Source comparison, Lesson pathways, Study records, and Uncertainty marking.

- Observed native surfaces include Notebook Field Guides, Notes, Files, Lists, To-dos, Agenda, Paper, Search, Agent Logs, and PointGuard.

- The allowed directory contains educational instruments with the exact slugs listed in this proposal.

### Still held

- That any documentation URL is deployed or crawlable in production.

- That Guth has a connected course provider, customer database, publication system, or external calendar.

- That Socrates or any agent has completed, reviewed, or qualified a course route.

- That a source comparison establishes truth, authority, accreditation, or learning outcomes.

- That any study record is customer-indexed or publicly visible.

- That an instrument result is professional advice, a verified lesson answer, or sufficient evidence for a consequential decision.
