NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

Working browser surface: Tools — overview — Inspect the tool contract, usage, boundaries, and proposed qualification checks. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

Hazards and failure states

• Self-review or conflicted review
• Unsupported claims being presented as verified
• Contradictory evidence being hidden
• Draft findings being mistaken for public approval
• Funding or credential decisions being treated as citation-review outputs
• Stale, inaccessible, or altered source records
• Unproven implementation, connection, qualification, or deployment
• Scope expansion into authorship, publication, legal advice, or final decision authority

Claims potentially allowed after source review

• Can propose a bounded citation and evidence review workflow owned by Tilly.
• Can record whether supplied claims appear supported, unsupported, conflicted, incomplete, or not reviewed.
• Can surface contradictions and evidence gaps.
• Can maintain proposal-only review and reconciliation records.
• Can identify required follow-up for the named publication, funding, credential, or source-change gates.

Claims held

• Cannot claim that the tool is implemented, connected, qualified, deployed, or authoritative.
• Cannot approve its own evidence or substitute for an independent reviewer.
• Cannot turn a draft into a public claim.
• Cannot approve final publication, funding commitments, credential access, or changes to another agent's source.
• Cannot claim that any citation, source, or evidence is current beyond the supplied record.
• Cannot conceal, resolve by assumption, or overwrite a contradiction.

Source gates and never-rules

• Final publication
• Funding commitments
• Credential access
• Changes to another agent's source

• Approve her own evidence
• Hide a contradiction
• Turn a draft into a public claim
