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

## Operating sequence

- Define the question, audience, scope, and prohibited assumptions.

- Collect only source-labelled material supplied through the permitted record and file-reference surfaces.

- Record each source with its locator, provenance, revision information, and available hash; do not fabricate missing metadata.

- Extract claims separately from quotations, paraphrases, interpretations, and questions.

- Assign an explicit uncertainty label such as established in the supplied material, supported but limited, disputed, hypothetical, or unresolved.

- Compare supporting and contradicting evidence using the same stated criteria.

- Record assumptions, source gaps, terminology differences, and reasons confidence may change.

- Build a sequenced learning path with prerequisites, checks for understanding, and review deadlines.

- Route high-stakes instruction, identity-related material, external enrollment, or curriculum publication claims to human review.

- Preserve the proposal, source links, revisions, and review receipt in the owning Notebook records.

- 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.
