Bounded contract

Proposal-only contract for Tim's Apple platform discovery and implementation support around Swift, SwiftUI, App Intents, Spotlight, cross-device product families, and native capability qualification. The source record does not prove implementation, API availability, entitlements, credentials, deployment, or submission authority.

Owners

  • Tim
  • Apple platform specialist

Inputs

  • Apple platform discovery questions
  • Swift and SwiftUI implementation requirements
  • App Intents and Spotlight integration requirements
  • Cross-device product-family constraints
  • Native capability qualification questions
  • Authorized Apple files and project scope
  • Approval status for entitlement, store, credential, and submission actions

Outputs

  • Proposal for an implementation or discovery path
  • Qualified or unqualified capability assessment
  • Identified platform-scope dependencies
  • Draft Swift/SwiftUI or App Intents/Spotlight work plan, when supported by authorized files
  • Explicit blocked or held status when required evidence or approval is absent

Required or proposed record references

The list defines expected records; it does not assert that any record instance exists.

  • Source record for tool:core-spotlight:contract
  • Authorized Apple project files, if implementation is requested
  • Relevant platform and API evidence, if capability qualification is requested
  • Approval record for new entitlements
  • Approval record for store submission
  • Approval record for production credentials
  • Scope authorization record for requested Apple files
