# iPadOS 27 — tools

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

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

## Record status

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

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: tools

**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.

## Authoritative tools lane tools and interfaces

### Canonical tools-page assignments

- **Notebook Field Guides** (interface · required) — Use as the canonical surface for composing and browsing this procedure, prerequisites, related jobs, instruments, and receipts; its indexed state does not prove external platform connectivity.

- **Notebook Notes** (interface · required) — Use for source-labelled observations, assumptions, and evidence excerpts; preserve source locators, hashes, provenance, and revisions rather than relying on memory.

- **Notebook Projects** (interface · required) — Use to group the platform investigation with SwiftUI, App Intents, Spotlight, and cross-device work while keeping record ownership explicit.

- **Notebook Agent Logs** (interface · required) — Use to inspect Tim's current work, authority boundaries, receipts, and review state before accepting a capability claim.

- **PointGuard** (interface · required) — Use as the persistent cross-app context room for the current qualification; it carries context but does not replace the specialist app or become the canonical implementation record.

- **Notebook Search** (interface · required) — Use only to find local indexed records and filter by type or source label; do not interpret search presence as customer indexing or public publication.

- **Notebook Approvals** (interface · required) — Use to mark proposed findings Needs review, Approved, or Held and preserve receipts before reuse.

- **Notebook To-dos** (interface · required) — Use for explicit workback actions, due dates, completion state, tags, and human-review signals; do not turn them into hidden automation.

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

No verified instrument is assigned to this tools lane.

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

## Use boundary

- A named Apple or Guth surface may be only a local prototype or index and must not be treated as a connected web feature.

- Platform discovery can drift across OS and SDK versions; preserve version labels and revisions.

- App Intents or Spotlight relevance must not be inferred from a route, record type, or search surface alone.

- Cross-device behavior may depend on providers, credentials, databases, or external effects that are currently held.

- Local approval is not deployment, publication, customer indexing, or production qualification.

- Using generic calculators as evidence for platform capability would create false authority; no verified instrument is currently relevant from the supplied directory.

- Accessibility claims must be tested against actual implementation evidence, not merely listed as requirements.

- Attachments and capture surfaces may hold upload or protected storage; do not imply that a file was uploaded or stored remotely.
