# Field guide build — field guides

The distinct field guides record for Field guide build. This page is proposal-only.

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

## Record status

**Record ID**: project:field-guide-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.

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

## Operating sequence

- Create the proposal project record with canonical ID, origin, source references, provenance, revision, lifecycle, tags, links, and visibility.

- Complete intake and identify the source records and source locators that bound the work.

- Define scope, prerequisites, exclusions, human-review points, and external-effect holds.

- Assign project, guide, evidence, risk, approval, and closure owners, including backups and escalation paths.

- Create milestones and derive a workback from the final deadline with review buffers and explicit approval gates.

- Register dependencies and assign verification dates, fallback plans, and blocking severity.

- Declare the native Notebook surfaces and any applicable guide or record relationships; record all prototype or indexed limitations.

- Draft the field guide from source-bound procedures and link each material claim to evidence.

- Run procedural tests using representative local records or references; record failures, expected results, actual results, and rework.

- Submit the guide and evidence package for approval; preserve Needs review, Approved, or Held status and decision receipts.

- Resolve required rework or document accepted limitations; do not treat an approval as publication or external execution.

- Close only when acceptance tests pass, required evidence is linked, open items are dispositioned, and a maintenance owner and review date exist.

## Handoff boundary

- Confusing an indexed or prototype route with a connected production workflow.

- Treating source-labelled references or local records as authoritative external data.

- Missing source provenance, locator, revision, or SHA-256 information and later losing traceability.

- Setting milestone dates without approval buffers and discovering late review conflicts.

- Marking work complete when evidence is absent, stale, contradictory, or not reviewed.

- Allowing dependencies or risks to remain unresolved while the project appears on schedule.

- Hidden provider writes, external sends, publication, credential use, upload, or protected-storage effects.

- Overly dense forms that omit labels, error text, keyboard access, or non-color status cues.

- Exposing private project notes, evidence, attachments, or customer-related context through public documentation routes.

- Using a held instrument or inventing a tool slug instead of selecting only verified instruments.
