Reviewer

Not recorded

Receipt

Not recorded

This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the docs_qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

Outcome definitions

Verified

All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect.

Failed

One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason.

Needs review

Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer.

Held

Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent.

The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only.

Catalog-observed source metadata

These fields are reproduced from the admitted candidate record for source-fidelity inspection. Presence does not prove implementation, connection, qualification, authority, or an external effect.

Proposed deterministic qualification tests

• Identity test: page names tool_id tool:apple-frameworks, title Apple frameworks, owner Tim, and source reference agents/index.html#tim.
• Proposal-status test: every page states that catalog observation does not prove implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, or authority.
• Distinct-content test: each documentation route contains route-specific checklists and does not duplicate the overview as its sole content.
• Platform-scope test: every API or capability claim includes an explicit target platform and version; missing values produce HOLD.
• Availability test: an API claim without an authoritative supplied evidence record produces HOLD and must not be phrased as available.
• Entitlement test: any new entitlement requirement produces approval-required status and blocks deployment or submission claims.
• Credential test: any production credential requirement produces approval-required status and blocks execution claims.
• Authorized-files test: work outside authorized Apple files produces HOLD.
• Accessibility test: proposed interfaces document keyboard access where applicable, VoiceOver labels and order, Dynamic Type behavior, contrast, focus visibility, reduced motion, and non-visual completion; missing evidence produces HOLD.
• Privacy test: every requested data flow identifies collection, purpose, retention, sharing, permission copy, logging, and cross-device transfer; unknown sensitive-data handling produces HOLD.
• Abuse test: App Intents, Spotlight, automation, deep links, and cross-device actions have misuse cases, input validation, authorization boundaries, rate or repetition controls where relevant, and safe failure behavior; missing controls produce HOLD.
• Source test: each material claim has a source reference or is explicitly marked unverified; unsourced claims cannot be published as facts.
• Authority test: no route claims publication, submission, entitlement approval, credential use, or production deployment authority; those states require explicit approval records.
• Never-rule test: documentation does not instruct writers to race another writer, claim an unavailable API, or publish or submit without approval.
• Owner-handoff test: unresolved findings identify Tim or the Apple platform specialist as owner and include a concrete evidence or approval request.
• Hold-release test: a held item can be released only when its missing evidence, approval, source, or scope record is attached and the relevant deterministic test passes.

Negative and abuse cases

• Observed catalog presence may be mistaken for an implemented or connected tool.
• Apple APIs and capabilities may vary by platform or version; unsupported claims could mislead implementation.
• New entitlements can create review, privacy, security, or store-submission risk.
• Production credentials may be unavailable or unauthorized.
• Cross-device features may expose data or actions across trust boundaries.
• App Intents, Spotlight, automation, and deep links may create unintended invocation paths.
• Accessibility omissions may block users from completing core flows.
• Unsourced framework claims may become stale, inaccurate, or non-auditable.
• Scope outside authorized Apple files may cause unauthorized changes.
• The source record does not establish provider authority, deployment authority, implementation details, current metrics, customer use, or effects.

Qualification claim boundary

Potentially allowed only after evidence and review

• The catalog contains an observed candidate named Apple frameworks.
• Tim is listed as owner and Apple platform specialist.
• The source record associates the candidate with Swift and SwiftUI implementation, Apple platform discovery, App Intents and Spotlight, cross-device product families, and native capability qualification.
• The source record lists iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, Liquid Glass, and Apple capability index as related field guides.
• New entitlements, store submission, production credentials, and scope outside authorized Apple files are principal gates.
• Race another writer, claim an unavailable API, and publish or submit without approval are prohibited by the source record.

Still held

• That the tool is implemented, connected, deployed, or production-ready.
• That any Apple API or framework is currently available for a specified platform or version.
• That the candidate can create, modify, approve, or submit an application.
• That the candidate has entitlement approval or production credentials.
• That the candidate has authority outside authorized Apple files.
• That it provides current metrics, customer use, provider effects, or guaranteed outcomes.
• That accessibility, privacy, security, or abuse controls are complete without route-specific evidence.
• That any documentation page is approved for publication without the required approval record.
