The distinct prerequisites record for Liquid Glass. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:liquid-glass

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: plan

**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.

## Entry evidence and required records

Before the procedure starts, an operator must identify the source, owner, scope, and required records below. Missing evidence holds the guide.

- field-guide:liquid-glass

- source-labelled notes for platform observations

- source-labelled file references for captured artifacts

- to-dos with dueAt and priority

- approval record for any qualification decision

- agent-log receipt for Tim's work

## Intended operators and ownership

- Tim

- Native capability qualification agents

- Swift and SwiftUI implementation agents

- Apple platform discovery agents

- App Intents and Spotlight agents

- Cross-device product family agents

Being listed as an intended operator does not grant execution or publication authority.

## Conditions that hold the guide before entry

- A named Liquid Glass guide may be mistaken for an implemented Apple-native capability.

- Swift, SwiftUI, App Intents, Spotlight, or cross-device behavior may be assumed from related-job labels without evidence.

- A route labeled indexed or prototype does not prove a connected web feature or canonical backend.

- PointGuard may be mistaken for the execution or canonical-record owner.

- Translucency, motion, contrast, focus, and legibility risks may be missed if visual review is treated as sufficient.

- App Intents or Spotlight language may accidentally imply customer indexing or external publication.

- Cross-device language may accidentally imply synchronization, continuity, or provider connection.

- Missing due dates can create invisible work or false completion; dates must be supplied or the task held.

- Local file references may be mistaken for uploaded or protected assets.

- Educational contrast calculations must not be presented as platform qualification or accessibility conformance certification.

- Erroneous or incomplete observations may be carried forward unless source locators, revisions, and confidence are preserved.
