# Engineering build — tools

The distinct tools record for Engineering build. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: project:engineering-build

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: app_features

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Not separately recorded

**Owner role**: Not separately recorded

**Owner status**: Not separately recorded

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Project templates & workflows — overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/labs.html#templates-workflows>) — Create a local project from this template and validate its forms. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Authoritative app_features lane tools and interfaces

### Canonical tools-page assignments

- **Notebook Projects** (interface · required) — Canonical local owner for project scope, lifecycle, links, evidence, and revisions.

- **Notebook To-dos** (interface · required) — Tracks executable work with due dates, priority, completion state, tags, recurrence candidates, and revisions.

- **Notebook Agenda** (interface · required) — Displays qualification deadlines, milestones, conflicts, and draft workback changes.

- **Notebook Files** (interface · required) — Stores source-labelled local file references while upload and protected storage remain held.

- **Notebook Approvals** (interface · required) — Preserves human decisions and receipts for qualification or proposed external effects.

- **Notebook Agent Logs** (interface · required) — Shows Agent authority, current work, receipts, and boundaries.

- **PointGuard** (interface · required) — Provides a persistent cross-app projection of current project context while Notebook remains the canonical owner.

- **Engineering build field guide** (guide · optional) — Provides a source-backed bounded procedure when one is available; absence must be visible.

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 project workspace may be mistaken for a connected production backend; every surface must label local prototype and proposal-only state.

- A deadline workback can create false certainty when task durations, dependencies, or buffers are unknown; expose assumptions and allow explicit exceptions.

- Incomplete or stale source evidence can make qualification appear stronger than it is; show provenance, revision, and evidence freshness.

- PointGuard context may be mistaken for canonical project data; preserve the Notebook ownership label and source link.

- Agent suggestions may be mistaken for completed engineering work; distinguish proposed, in progress, blocked, reviewed, and completed states.

- Local persistence may be lost or cleared; provide export as a held local action and disclose that protected backup is unavailable.

- External messages, scheduling, deployment, publication, uploads, credentials, provider connections, customer indexing, and production database effects are held.
