# Core Spotlight

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.

## 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
