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

Operating sequence

1. Define the question, audience, scope, and prohibited assumptions.
2. Collect only source-labelled material supplied through the permitted record and file-reference surfaces.
3. Record each source with its locator, provenance, revision information, and available hash; do not fabricate missing metadata.
4. Extract claims separately from quotations, paraphrases, interpretations, and questions.
5. Assign an explicit uncertainty label such as established in the supplied material, supported but limited, disputed, hypothetical, or unresolved.
6. Compare supporting and contradicting evidence using the same stated criteria.
7. Record assumptions, source gaps, terminology differences, and reasons confidence may change.
8. Build a sequenced learning path with prerequisites, checks for understanding, and review deadlines.
9. Route high-stakes instruction, identity-related material, external enrollment, or curriculum publication claims to human review.
10. Preserve the proposal, source links, revisions, and review receipt in the owning Notebook records.
11. Mark incomplete, contradictory, or unverifiable work as held rather than resolving it by invention.

Handoff boundary

• A tutoring profile may be mistaken for institutional, legal, medical, or academic authority.
• Uncertainty labels may create false precision if their definitions are not shown beside the claim.
• Incomplete source records can lead to invented citations or unsupported synthesis.
• Disputed evidence may be hidden by ranking or summarization.
• Student identity data could be captured without authorization or appropriate boundaries.
• External enrollment, publication, or curriculum claims could be mistaken for completed actions.
• High-stakes instruction could be delivered before human review.
• Named native surfaces may be mistaken for connected production features.
• A source hash or locator may be unavailable; the absence must remain explicit rather than guessed.
• Accessibility failures could make uncertainty states or review blockers invisible to some learners.
