# iOS 27 — qualification

The distinct qualification record for iOS 27. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:ios-27

**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 · 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

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.

- The overview page explains scope, audience, ownership, lifecycle, and evidence boundaries without claiming iOS 27 production availability.

- Each child documentation route contains materially different content: overview, steps, tools, forms, examples, qualification, or related jobs.

- Every factual finding links to a source locator and preserves source SHA-256, provenance, revision, and lifecycle.

- A reviewer can distinguish observed native contract, proposed implementation, qualification decision, and held claim.

- The form rejects or flags a qualification entry missing owner, source locator, evidence statement, failure state, or acceptance test.

- The guide links all five supplied related jobs without inventing job details.

- The workflow records due dates and workback dependencies without external provider writes.

- Approval states are limited to Needs review, Approved, or Held and preserve a receipt.

- Accessibility review covers keyboard navigation, focus order, labels, dynamic updates, contrast, reduced motion, and VoiceOver-oriented reading order as review criteria rather than verified platform behavior.

- Search results expose the guide and related records without claiming customer indexing or public publication.

## Negative and held-state tests

- Treating the title iOS 27 as evidence of a released platform, API, SDK, or production capability.

- Treating a native surface name as proof of a connected web feature or provider integration.

- Inventing Apple APIs, App Intents behavior, Spotlight indexing behavior, device support, or cross-device guarantees.

- Publishing duplicate doorway pages whose only difference is a keyword or URL.

- Conflating Swift and SwiftUI implementation proposals with verified native capability.

- Claiming deployment, provider connection, credentials, database authority, customer indexing, publication, or qualification.

- Using unsupported medical, financial, legal, safety, or performance conclusions from an unverified platform investigation.

- Storing sensitive source material through an upload or protected-storage assumption; file references remain local and held.

- Failing to preserve source hashes, revisions, provenance, or record ownership.

- Allowing an Agent to approve or externally execute a capability without human review.

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- This is a proposed field guide for source-bound iOS 27 investigation.

- The guide covers the supplied related jobs: Swift and SwiftUI implementation, Apple platform discovery, App Intents and Spotlight, cross-device product families, and native capability qualification.

- Notebook provides named prototype or indexed surfaces for notes, files, to-dos, approvals, field guides, projects, search, agent logs, and PointGuard context.

- The guide requires evidence, ownership, provenance, revisions, explicit failure states, accessibility review, deadlines, and human approval.

### Still held

- iOS 27 is released, deployed, or available in production.

- Any specific iOS 27 API, SDK, App Intent, Spotlight behavior, device capability, or cross-device behavior exists or is connected.

- Swift or SwiftUI implementation is complete, tested, shipped, or compatible with a production target.

- App Intents or Spotlight indexing is active, customer-facing, or externally searchable.

- Provider, credential, database, customer, publication, or external calendar effects are connected.

- The guide or any related job is qualified, approved for production, or authoritative for Apple platform policy.

- Any app route is more than a local prototype or index unless separately verified.
