Source-proposed guide paths are references, not proof that those paths resolve.

## Operating sequence

- Receive and restate the learner's question.

- Separate the learning goal from any requested conclusion.

- Collect only supplied or explicitly attached source-labelled material.

- Create claim records and link each claim to supporting or contradicting sources.

- Mark uncertainty, disputes, missing evidence, and assumptions visibly.

- Construct an ordered learning path with inputs, outputs, deadlines, and review points.

- Use a human-held review for high-stakes instruction or any principal-gate condition.

- Prepare a draft explanation or message without treating tutoring as institutional authority.

- Write an agent log with sources, reasoning, limits, and unresolved questions.

- Close the job only when acceptance tests pass; otherwise hold it with a specific failure state.

## Handoff boundary

- Tutoring may be mistaken for institutional, professional, or academic authority.

- Unsupported claims may be presented as fact if source links or uncertainty labels are missing.

- Disputed evidence may be hidden by summarization or selective citation.

- Student identity data may create privacy and access risks; do not request it unless necessary and reviewed.

- High-stakes instruction may cause harm without qualified human oversight.

- External enrollment and published curriculum effects are outside this package and remain held.

- The named native tools and routes are prototypes or indexes and do not prove connected web behavior.

- No provider, database, customer, publication, or production effect is authorized by this package.
