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. ### Discovery brief Define the bounded Apple platform question and intended Guth surface. - discovery title - question or capability to investigate - target platform: iPhone, iPad, Mac, or multiple - Guth product surface affected - requestor - owner - requested completion date - priority - out-of-scope items ### Evidence and provenance Capture source-bound observations without treating a native surface as proof of a connected web feature. - source title - source URL or locator - source type - source SHA-256 when available - observation date - platform version or version claim - quoted or paraphrased evidence - confidence label - known gaps - linked source record ### Capability assessment Describe what the capability may support and separate evidence from proposal. - capability name - Apple framework or native surface named in source - supported use case - required inputs - expected outputs - platform constraints - entitlement or permission considerations - API availability status: evidenced, unknown, or held - web/app boundary note - accessibility considerations ### Product mapping Map the assessment to Guth records and owning surfaces. - related Guth record IDs - proposed Notebook record type - owning app - candidate route - PointGuard context - handoff or dependency - human review required - customer or publication effect: held ### Authority and gates Make approval and failure handling explicit. - new entitlement gate - Store submission gate - production credential gate - scope authorization check - approval owner - blocked state - fallback or defer decision - review deadline - receipt or approval record ### Closeout Preserve a reusable result and its lifecycle state. - decision summary - claims allowed - claims held - follow-up tasks - linked field guide - revision note - lifecycle: proposed, indexed, prototype, or held - reviewer sign-off status ### 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. ### Scope and assignment Define the authorized discovery boundary and prevent work outside Apple files or approved product scope. - job_id - owner_agent - owner_role - authorized_platforms - authorized_topics - out_of_scope_topics - research_question - requested_completion_window ### Capability evidence Capture each capability as a source-bound finding without treating a named framework or surface as proof of connected product behavior. - finding_title - platform - capability_area - source_locator - source_sha256 - observed_or_proposed - confidence - supporting_notes - unknowns - availability_check_needed ### Cross-platform comparison Record meaningful differences and shared product-family implications across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - platform - user_context - candidate_surface - shared_behavior - platform_specific_behavior - accessibility_considerations - implementation_dependency - open_question ### Principal gates and failure states Make entitlement, submission, credential, and scope constraints explicit before any implementation recommendation. - gate_type - affected_finding - required_approval - credential_dependency - failure_state - fallback_or_hold_state - owner - review_status ### Proposal and review Turn findings into bounded proposals with clear non-claims and a human review decision. - proposed_action - related_records - implementation_assumption - public_claim_allowed - public_claim_held - reviewer - decision - decision_notes - receipt_reference ## Required or proposed record references No record existence is asserted by this documentation page. - source-labelled Apple capability note - capability assessment record - Apple platform evidence or source locator record - linked field guide or procedure record - deadline and review to-do records - approval record for held claims or proposed decisions - agent log with authority, receipts, revisions, and lifecycle - project membership record when work is grouped into a platform-discovery project - job record for job:tim:apple-platform-discovery - source-labelled capability findings - platform comparison record covering iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Intelligence assessment record - Spotlight indexing assessment record - App Intents assessment record - product-family coherence proposal - entitlement and submission gate register - review decision and receipt record ## Sources and evidence These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment. - `agents/index.html#tim` - `source_record:job:tim:apple-platform-discovery` - `Observed native contract: Notebook collections, deadlines, record provenance, PointGuard boundary` - `Observed app routes: /app/pointguard/, /app/notebook/notes/, /app/notebook/files/, /app/notebook/to-dos/, /app/notebook/approvals/, /app/notebook/projects/, /app/notebook/field-guides/, /app/notebook/agent-logs/, /app/notebook/search/` - `Observed app route state: local prototypes or indexes; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, and production effects held` - `Allowed verified-instrument directory reviewed; no instrument selected because the supplied job is platform discovery rather than a calculation task` - `job:tim:apple-platform-discovery` - `Observed native contract: records preserve canonical IDs, provenance, revisions, lifecycle, tags, links, attachments, and record revisions.` - `Observed native contract: PointGuard is a persistent cross-app context surface while specialist apps remain execution and canonical-record owners.` - `Observed native contract: provider, credential, database, customer, publication, and production effects are held.`
