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.

Authoritative package lane tools and interfaces

Canonical tools-page assignments

PointGuard (interface · required) — Persistent cross-app context surface for the current product-family review; it does not own specialist execution or canonical records.
Notebook Projects (interface · required) — Groups the job, capability records, field guide, to-dos, and evidence without implying an active project backend.
Notebook Field Guides (interface · required) — Composes the bounded procedure from source-backed capability records, prerequisites, and receipts.
Notebook Notes (interface · required) — Captures source-labelled platform observations and revision history.
Notebook Files (interface · required) — Keeps authorized source-file references beside records while upload and protected storage remain held.
Notebook To-dos and Agenda (interface · required) — Tracks relative workback gates, review dates, conflicts, and completion state without external calendar writes.
Notebook Approvals (interface · required) — Holds entitlement, API, indexing, Store, provider, credential, and publication decisions for human review.
Notebook Agent Logs (interface · required) — Preserves authority boundaries, proposal state, revisions, and receipts.
Apple capability index (guide · required) — Named source guide from the supplied job record for organizing capability research; it does not prove current API availability.
Xcode (provider · optional) — Named existing Apple tool for later implementation review; this package does not claim access, execution, or build state.
SwiftUI (skill · optional) — Named existing Apple skill for implementation guidance; proposed use remains source- and approval-bound.
App Intents (skill · optional) — Named capability area to evaluate; no entitlement, API availability, or connection is claimed.
Core Spotlight (skill · optional) — Named capability area to evaluate; indexing remains proposal-only and held.

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 capability name may be mistaken for a connected or currently available API.
Apple platform versions, entitlements, and framework behavior may change; source revision and date context must remain visible.
Cross-device parity can erase platform-specific interaction and accessibility needs.
Spotlight indexing, App Intents, Apple Intelligence, provider access, credentials, databases, customer records, and Store submission are production-sensitive and held.
Unauthorized Apple files or undocumented source material may exceed the job boundary.
A proposed handoff may be mistaken for implementation, deployment, or qualification.
Local prototype routes do not prove connected web behavior.
Sensitive source files or credentials must not be uploaded or stored through this package without an explicitly authorized surface.

Sources and evidence

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