# Supabase field guide — steps

The distinct steps record for Supabase field guide. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:supabase-field-guide

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: plan

**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.

## Ordered procedure

- 1. Create or open the proposed field-guide record in Notebook Field Guides and set lifecycle to proposed; record Stan as owner and link the supplied related jobs.

- 2. Copy the supplied source reference agents/index.html#stan and source record identifier into the provenance section; preserve any available locator, source SHA-256, revision, and origin rather than replacing them with assumptions.

- 3. Define the review question and explicitly list held effects: provider connection, credentials, database authority, customer indexing, publication, deployment, and production writes are not established by the named Supabase surface or by any observed route.

- 4. Map each proposed concern to an accountable review lane: security engineering for access and credential boundaries, architecture and implementation for component ownership, SRE and incident command for failure handling, fleet operations for operational procedures, and receipt-backed handoffs for evidence transfer.

- 5. Draft an architecture note describing only proposed boundaries. Treat PointGuard as contextual navigation and preserve specialist-app ownership of execution and canonical records; do not assign canonical ownership to PointGuard.

- 6. Use Notebook Notes for source-labelled analysis and Notebook Files for local file references. Do not imply hidden upload or protected storage; if a source artifact is unavailable, record the absence as an evidence gap.

- 7. Create bounded to-dos for each review lane with an explicit due date, priority, owner, tags, and human-review signal. Use Agenda only to draft or inspect local schedule information; external calendar effects remain held.

- 8. Record security checks covering credential non-disclosure, least-privilege assumptions, visibility partitioning, provenance preservation, and explicit rejection of unsupported production claims.

- 9. Record operational checks covering failure states, incident ownership, rollback or hold behavior, receipt preservation, and what evidence would be required before any future implementation decision.

- 10. Run a human review in Notebook Approvals. Mark the proposal Needs review until evidence and ownership are complete; use Held when a required fact, receipt, or authority boundary is missing.

- 11. Prepare a receipt-backed handoff containing the field-guide ID, source references, linked notes and files, completed checks, unresolved questions, deadline state, and approval state. Do not describe the handoff as deployment or provider connection.

- 12. Mark the guide complete only when all acceptance tests pass; otherwise retain proposed lifecycle and create a failure or follow-up record.

## Deadline and chronology rules

- Set a target review date before beginning lane reviews; if no date is supplied, keep the guide proposed and record the missing deadline rather than inventing a calendar date.

- Create one to-do per review lane with an owner, priority, dueAt, and review tag.

- Set lane due dates no later than the target review date; create a final handoff review due date after all lane checks.

- If any lane misses its due date, mark the related to-do incomplete or Held, record the reason, and do not mark the guide complete.

- Agenda entries may draft local workback blocks only; no external calendar write or provider-side scheduling is implied.

## Failure branches during execution

- A named Supabase surface may be mistaken for a connected provider feature.

- Prototype or indexed routes may be mistaken for production behavior.

- Unverified credentials, database authority, customer data, publication, or deployment may be inferred from architecture language.

- PointGuard may be incorrectly treated as the canonical execution or record owner.

- Missing provenance, source hashes, or receipts may make later review non-reproducible.

- Relative deadlines may be misread as committed calendar dates if no target date is supplied.

- Security, incident, or operational conclusions may be overstated when the supplied source record contains no implementation evidence.

- Local drafts, approvals, or schedule entries may be mistaken for external side effects.
