# Security field guides — qualification

The distinct qualification record for Security field guides. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:security-field-guides

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_urls

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Stan

**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.

## Qualification status

**Result**: NOT RUN

**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.

### Lane-specific instrument aids

[checksum-verifierrequired · Verify a supplied checksum for an evidence file or receipt input when a digest is available; record the input, output, and limitation.](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/instruments/checksum-verifier/>)

## 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 page identifies the guide as proposed and states that provider, credential, database, customer, publication, and production effects are held.

- Each documentation route has a distinct purpose and contains content not duplicated from the overview or other routes.

- The steps page includes ordered actions, record ownership, pause conditions, escalation, evidence capture, and handoff requirements.

- The tools page distinguishes interfaces, records, and the optional verified instrument; it does not claim any native surface is a connected web feature.

- The forms page contains implementable fields for scope, risk, provenance, deadlines, approvals, and qualification.

- The examples page uses clearly labelled illustrative scenarios and includes at least one failure or held state.

- The qualification page separates evidence-backed observations from assumptions and does not certify deployment, security posture, provider connection, or customer indexing.

- The related-jobs page links Security engineering, Architecture and implementation, SRE and incident command, Fleet operations, and Receipt-backed handoffs with distinct descriptions.

- A submitted record preserves canonical ID, origin, source locator, source SHA-256 when present, provenance, revision, lifecycle, tags, links, attachments, and record revisions.

- Keyboard navigation, visible focus, labelled form controls, non-color-only lifecycle states, readable error messages, and screen-reader-compatible status text are present.

- Invalid or incomplete submissions identify missing owner, scope, deadline decision, evidence, or approval fields and do not qualify the work.

- A held decision preserves the reason, open questions, next review date, and receipt rather than presenting completion.

## Negative and held-state tests

- A named native surface may be mistaken for a connected production security system.

- Local notes or file references may be mistaken for authoritative evidence, protected storage, or customer data custody.

- Checksum verification can confirm a supplied digest comparison but cannot prove provenance, trustworthiness, authorization, or absence of compromise.

- A qualified documentation proposal may be misread as an implemented control, incident resolution, deployment, or compliance certification.

- Security-sensitive details may be overexposed if visibility, attachments, and record links are not reviewed before handoff.

- Deadline and agenda records may be mistaken for external calendar writes or operational commitments.

- Agent receipts may be incomplete, stale, or outside the agent's declared authority; human review is required.

- Accessibility failures can hide held states, errors, or approval requirements from some reviewers.

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- This is a proposed source-backed field-guide structure for security-related planning and handoffs.

- The guide organizes security engineering, architecture and implementation, SRE and incident command, fleet operations, and receipt-backed handoffs.

- The documented workflow requires provenance, deadlines, failure states, human review, and preserved receipts.

- The listed local Notebook, PointGuard, and verified instrument surfaces are intended as bounded planning and inspection aids.

### Still held

- No claim of deployment, production readiness, security certification, incident resolution, or operational effectiveness.

- No claim of provider, credential, database, customer, publication, or external calendar connection.

- No claim that local records are the authoritative security system of record.

- No claim that an agent performed external actions, sent messages, changed infrastructure, or completed a handoff.

- No claim that checksum verification establishes authenticity, integrity beyond the supplied comparison, or customer-safe storage.

- No claim of customer indexing, public publication, or qualification until a separately reviewed implementation record exists.
