Record ID: field-guide:course-routes
Parent lifecycle: candidate
Page lane: tools
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.

Authoritative tools lane tools and interfaces

Canonical tools-page assignments

Notebook Field Guides (interface · required) — Owns the procedure, prerequisites, bounded steps, instrument links, failure states, and acceptance tests.
Notebook Notes (interface · required) — Stores source-labelled explanations, learner questions, assumptions, and uncertainty notes.
Notebook Files (interface · optional) — Keeps local references to syllabi, worksheets, or source material beside the calculation without implying hidden upload or protected storage.
Notebook To-dos (interface · required) — Tracks human review, source reconciliation, and explicit due dates without implying automated completion.
Notebook Approvals (interface · required) — Separates a locally reviewed interpretation from an unreviewed proposal and preserves the receipt.
PointGuard (interface · optional) — Carries the current lesson context across Notebook surfaces; it is not the canonical owner of calculations or course records.
Notebook Search (interface · optional) — Finds related local notes, receipts, and prior study records while respecting visibility boundaries.
Scientific Calculator (provider · optional) — Catalog instrument for transparent arithmetic, powers, roots, and basic quantitative checks when a more specific instrument is unnecessary; must not be treated as a source or proof.
Unit & Dimensional Analysis Converter (provider · optional) — Checks unit conversions and dimensional consistency in quantitative lessons; must not validate the underlying model or source assumptions.
Statistics Suite (descriptive stats) (provider · optional) — Summarizes learner-collected or source-provided datasets for instruction; must not establish causation, generalize beyond the supplied data, or replace study-design review.
Date & Duration Calculator (provider · optional) — Builds lesson schedules, study intervals, and workbacks from explicit dates; must not imply calendar-provider writes or automatic reminders.

Only the page's admitted lane is rendered as an assignment. Other lane inventories remain source records but are not merged here. Tool kind and required/optional status are preserved.

Authoritative lane instrument assignments

Canonical tools-page assignments

scientific-calculatoroptional · Use for reproducible arithmetic, powers, roots, and intermediate checks in a lesson receipt; do not use as evidence, a source comparison authority, or a substitute for a domain model.unit-dimensional-analysis-converteroptional · Use to convert declared units and expose dimensional mismatches; do not use to decide whether a formula, measurement, or source claim is valid.statistics-suite-descriptive-statsoptional · Use for descriptive summaries such as mean, median, spread, and counts of an explicitly bounded dataset; do not use for causal claims, diagnosis, qualification, or unsupported population inference.date-duration-calculatoroptional · Use to calculate lesson durations and review workbacks from supplied dates; do not use for external calendar changes, provider scheduling, or deadline guarantees.

An instrument listed only for another lane does not become a tools-page assignment.

Use boundary

Using a calculator output as if it were evidence or a sourced fact.
Selecting a convenient instrument whose assumptions do not match the lesson.
Unit mismatch, transcription error, premature rounding, or hidden spreadsheet state.
Treating descriptive statistics as causal, predictive, medical, legal, financial, or safety advice.
Turning a draft schedule into a provider-backed booking or deadline guarantee.
Overstating a source comparison when the sources use different definitions, populations, or measurement methods.
Losing provenance when copying an output into a learner-facing note.
Accessibility failures from color-only review states, unlabeled fields, or inaccessible result tables.
Allowing an Agent to approve its own consequential interpretation without human review.
Confusing a named route or native surface with a deployed or connected feature.

Sources and evidence

These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment.
