Working browser surface: Agent jobs — builder overview — Inspect the package and stage a local project. 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.

Question and scope

Define what is being compared and prevent unbounded research.

  • question_id
  • learner_question
  • topic
  • learning_level
  • purpose
  • scope_inclusions
  • scope_exclusions
  • requested_output
  • due_at
  • priority

Source intake

Capture inspectable source identity without inventing or silently normalizing evidence.

  • source_record_id
  • title
  • author_or_issuer
  • publication_date
  • source_type
  • locator
  • source_sha256
  • provenance_note
  • access_status
  • relevant_excerpt
  • attachment_reference

Claim extraction

Separate source wording from interpretation and record evidentiary status.

  • claim_id
  • source_record_id
  • claim_text
  • exact_quote_or_paraphrase
  • location_in_source
  • claim_type
  • support_status
  • confidence_label
  • disputed_by
  • interpretation_note

Comparison matrix

Make agreement, contradiction, difference in scope, and missing evidence explicit.

  • comparison_id
  • claim_group
  • source_a_claim_id
  • source_b_claim_id
  • relationship
  • agreement_summary
  • difference_summary
  • omission_summary
  • unresolved_question
  • evidence_needed

Learning path and handoff

Turn the comparison into bounded study actions while preserving authority limits.

  • learning_goal
  • ordered_activity_ids
  • prerequisites
  • reflection_prompts
  • follow_up_sources
  • human_review_required
  • handoff_note
  • result_lifecycle

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 docs_urls lane and remain separate from the primary operating form.

Question and learning aim

Define what the learner is trying to understand before sources are compared.

  • central question
  • learner level or context
  • learning objective
  • known terms or definitions
  • high-stakes topic flag
  • desired output

Source inventory

Capture each source with provenance and enough context for inspection.

  • source title
  • author or issuing entity
  • publication date if known
  • source type
  • source locator
  • access or custody note
  • source status
  • source-specific limitation

Claim examination

Separate claims, evidence, interpretation, uncertainty, and disagreement.

  • claim text
  • claim owner or source
  • supporting passage or locator
  • evidence type
  • confidence label
  • disputed status
  • counterevidence
  • unresolved question

Comparison frame

Make the comparison criteria explicit rather than implying that one source is authoritative.

  • comparison criteria
  • scope alignment
  • definitions alignment
  • methods or evidence differences
  • agreement summary
  • material disagreement summary
  • missing evidence
  • inference warning

Inspectable learning path

Turn the comparison into bounded next steps that a learner can review and revise.

  • ordered question sequence
  • prerequisites
  • reading or review tasks
  • reflection prompts
  • verification checkpoints
  • stop or escalation condition
  • learner review note

Human review and receipt

Record review state and preserve what was proposed, accepted, held, or rejected.

  • reviewer
  • review state
  • decision note
  • held items
  • revision reason
  • receipt or source hash if available
  • next review date

Required or proposed record references

No record existence is asserted by this documentation page.

  • source comparison job record with canonical ID, owner, lifecycle, provenance, source locator, source SHA-256 when available, revision, tags, links, and attachments
  • one source record per compared item
  • claim record for each material assertion, including support status and uncertainty note
  • comparison matrix record containing matched claims, differences, omissions, and unresolved disputes
  • question record defining the learner's inquiry and scope
  • learning-path or field-guide record containing bounded steps and prerequisites
  • review or approval record for any high-stakes, disputed, or publication-adjacent result
  • todo records for evidence checks, follow-up questions, and review deadlines
  • source-comparison job record
  • source reference records
  • claim records
  • comparison notes
  • learning-path project record
  • review or approval record
  • agent log receipt
