Authoritative package lane tools and interfaces

Canonical tools-page assignments

Xcode (interface · optional) — Proposed implementation and inspection surface for authorized Apple files; no build, deployment, or submission is implied.
SwiftUI (interface · optional) — Proposed cross-platform interface layer for reviewing coherent iPhone, iPad, and Mac behavior; native naming does not prove connected web behavior.
App Intents (interface · optional) — Designated native capability for drafting intent contracts, parameters, results, confirmations, and authority boundaries.
Core Spotlight (interface · optional) — Designated native capability for drafting local indexing, visibility, freshness, revision, and removal behavior.
Apple frameworks (interface · optional) — Bounded umbrella reference for platform capability assessment; each specific claim must remain source-bound.
iOS 27 (guide · optional) — Supplied field guide for platform-specific review; it does not establish implementation or availability.
iPadOS 27 (guide · optional) — Supplied field guide for tablet-specific interaction and layout review; it does not establish implementation or availability.
macOS 27 (guide · optional) — Supplied field guide for desktop-specific interaction and layout review; it does not establish implementation or availability.
Liquid Glass (guide · optional) — Supplied design guide for visual coherence review; it does not establish production adoption.
Apple capability index (guide · required) — Supplied source-backed guide used to bind capability claims and identify unknowns.

Only the page's admitted lane is rendered as an assignment. Other lane inventories remain source records but are not merged here. Tool kind and required/optional status are preserved.

Authoritative lane instrument assignments

Canonical tools-page assignments

No verified instrument is assigned to this tools lane.

An instrument listed only for another lane does not become a tools-page assignment.

Use boundary

A named native surface may be mistaken for an available or connected Guth web feature.
App Intents may be drafted with broader authority than the owning app or user has granted.
Spotlight proposals may expose private, stale, deleted, or unauthorized records if visibility and removal rules are incomplete.
Search indexing may be confused with publication, customer indexing, or production search.
Apple intelligence or contextual claims may exceed the supplied evidence or imply an unavailable API.
Entitlement, credential, Store submission, and production gates may be crossed without approval.
Cross-platform designs may ignore pointer, keyboard, focus, screen-reader, scaling, or platform-specific interaction needs.
Duplicate or competing work may be created if the job is not linked to the project and agent log.
External messages, schedules, files, or other side effects may be mistaken for completed actions.
Erroneous or stale source revisions may be treated as current without source hash and revision tracking.

Sources and evidence

These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment.
