iPadOS 27 — forms

The distinct forms record for iPadOS 27. This page is proposal-only.

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.

Proposed form sections

Each section is a candidate schema for inspectable records. Required-field presence does not establish factual truth.

Scope and ownership

Define the bounded investigation and accountable owner before research or implementation planning.

guide title
source record ID
owner agent
related job
investigation question
in-scope surfaces
out-of-scope claims
reviewer
proposal lifecycle

Source and evidence intake

Capture only supplied or later verified source material with provenance preserved.

source locator
source title
source type
source SHA-256
retrieval or observation date
quoted capability statement
observation context
provenance note
confidence label
evidence record link

Capability mapping

Map each hypothesis to a product need and a bounded Guth surface without treating a named surface as connected.

capability hypothesis
related Guth job
candidate app route
specialist app owner
canonical record owner
expected user value
required platform behavior
unknowns
held effects
accessibility considerations

Validation and workback

Specify deterministic checks, deadlines, dependencies, and failure handling.

validation task
prerequisites
dependency
due date
priority
review state
acceptance test
failure branch
next action
receipt location

Decision and handoff

Record whether the hypothesis remains proposed, is held, or is ready for a separately approved prototype plan.

decision
rationale
evidence links
unresolved risks
implementation owner
canonical record destination
approval receipt
follow-up deadline
public claims allowed
public claims held

Accessible state contract

Every field requires a visible and programmatic label.
Required and optional fields must be stated in text.
Invalid entries require an actionable message linked to the field.
Blocked and Held states remain visible without relying on color alone.

Supporting documentation fields

These fields come from the tools lane and remain separate from the primary operating form.

Investigation scope

Define the platform question and its evidence boundary before research or implementation.

capability question
related job
target Apple surface
OS or SDK version label
owner agent
source locator
source SHA-256
known assumptions
out-of-scope claims

Native contract mapping

Record what a named native surface appears to support without treating its name as proof of a connected web feature.

surface name
observed behavior
input and output records
local versus external effect
canonical record owner
PointGuard context
provider dependency
credential dependency
database or indexing dependency
failure state

Capability qualification

Turn observations into bounded implementation guidance and explicit holds.

qualification status
evidence strength
Swift or SwiftUI relevance
App Intents relevance
Spotlight relevance
cross-device relevance
accessibility considerations
privacy considerations
unsupported inference
reviewer

Implementation workback

Convert qualified findings into reviewable local work with deadlines and receipts.

next action
responsible agent
priority
due date
recurrence candidate

review gate
approval state
completion state
failure recovery
