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.

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 guide's purpose, audience, source boundary, related jobs, and proposed lifecycle without claiming deployment.
• Each listed documentation route has a distinct title, question, and useful content boundary; no route is a doorway or keyword-only page.
• The steps route contains an ordered workflow with evidence capture, record ownership, human review, failure states, and revision handling.
• The tools route distinguishes interfaces and skills from verified instruments and states that named native surfaces do not prove connected web features.
• Every instrument slug exactly matches an entry in the allowed directory and is used only for its stated bounded purpose.
• The forms route includes implementable fields for scope, provenance, capability assessment, qualification, owner, dates, and held effects.
• The examples route contains source-backed patterns only and labels hypothetical or unresolved items as proposed, Needs review, or Held.
• The qualification route requires evidence, limitations, accessibility review, privacy or custody review, canonical ownership, and an approval receipt.
• The related-jobs route links only the five supplied related jobs and explains their distinct search value.
• App links point only to supplied prototype or indexed routes and do not imply provider, database, customer, publication, or production effects.
• A source record preserves canonical ID, origin, source locator, provenance, revision, lifecycle, tags, links, attachments, and record revisions where available.
• A failure-state test confirms incomplete provenance, unsupported native claims, missing owner, inaccessible interaction, and unresolved external effects result in Needs review or Held.

Negative and held-state tests

• A named iPadOS or native surface may be mistaken for a connected web feature.
• Prototype or indexed app routes may be mistaken for deployed production behavior.
• Unverified platform claims may be presented as facts if source locators and provenance are omitted.
• App Intents or Spotlight language may imply customer indexing or external search integration; those effects are held.
• Cross-device language may imply synchronization, provider connection, or database authority; specialist app ownership must remain explicit.
• Medical, financial, safety, or other high-impact conclusions could be inferred from a platform capability without domain review.
• Missing due dates, owners, receipts, or revision links can make qualification non-auditable.
• Accessibility, privacy, local custody, and failure handling may be omitted if the guide focuses only on happy-path UI.
• Distinct URLs could become duplicate doorway pages unless each route answers a different research or execution question.

Qualification claim boundary

Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

• This is a proposed field guide for organizing source-backed iPadOS 27 investigation work.
• The supplied source record names related jobs including Swift and SwiftUI implementation, Apple platform discovery, App Intents and Spotlight, cross-device product families, and native capability qualification.
• The observed contract includes Notebook field-guide collections, source-labelled records, deadline and approval concepts, PointGuard context, and prototype or indexed app routes.
• The allowed directory contains verified-clean instruments that may be designated for bounded calculations or parsing tasks.

Still held

• iPadOS 27 capabilities are deployed, available, or production-ready.
• Any Apple provider, credential, database, customer, publication, Spotlight index, or external service is connected.
• The supplied native surfaces constitute a live connected web feature.
• Any capability has passed qualification without recorded evidence and approval.
• Any app route writes to external systems, sends messages, exports documents, or activates production behavior.
• Any customer-facing indexing, synchronization, or cross-device data authority exists.
• Any instrument result is professional, legal, medical, financial, engineering, or safety advice.
