# macOS 27 — forms

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

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

## Record status

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

**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.

## 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 discovery question and accountable owner.

- capability question

- in-scope macOS surface

- out-of-scope effects

- owner agent

- related job

- source locator

- source SHA-256

- record lifecycle

### Observed native contract

Record only capabilities explicitly observed in the supplied contract.

- relevant contract clause

- native surface name

- what the surface permits

- what remains unproven

- canonical record owner

- specialist app owner

### Evidence ledger

Attach source-labelled, reviewable evidence without implying connected behavior.

- evidence ID

- source locator

- evidence description

- test or observation date

- revision

- attachment or local file reference

- confidence state

- reviewer

### Workback and review

Make review timing explicit and prevent stale proposals from being treated as qualification.

- discovery due date

- implementation review due date

- approval due date

- next checkpoint

- priority

- recurrence candidate

- completion state

- tags

### Qualification decision

Capture a bounded local decision and unresolved failure branches.

- decision status

- qualified proposal

- held claims

- blocking gaps

- follow-up owner

- receipt reference

- revision

### 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.

### Scope and ownership

Define the macOS capability question, owner, related job, and review boundary.

- guide title

- capability question

- owner agent

- related job

- reviewer

- in-scope native surfaces

- out-of-scope provider or production effects

### Evidence capture

Attach source-labelled evidence without treating a named native surface as proof of a connected feature.

- source locator

- source SHA-256

- evidence type

- artifact or file reference

- observed behavior

- unknowns

- revision identifier

- provenance note

### Capability qualification

Separate observed native affordances from proposed implementation and held effects.

- native surface name

- user-facing purpose

- canonical record owner

- execution owner

- lifecycle state

- accessibility considerations

- failure state

- privacy or visibility boundary

- App Intents or Spotlight relevance

- cross-device relevance

- qualification decision

### Implementation workback

Turn the proposal into bounded, reviewable work with explicit deadlines.

- task

- dependency

- priority

- due date

- review date

- recurrence candidate

- completion state

- tags

- blocking condition

- responsible owner

### Review and receipt

Preserve a human decision and an auditable result.

- decision status

- approver

- decision rationale

- held claims

- accepted claims

- receipt reference

- next review date
