# Instrument catalog

Proposal-only catalog for organizing instrument entries, qualification status, evidence reconciliation, and review routes. It may support independent review, instrument qualification, grant research and drafts, website claim review, and related field-guide packets, but the catalog's implementation, connection, deployment, and authority are not proven. It cannot approve publication, funding, credential access, or changes to another agent's source.

### Held source-proposed extensions

- /docs/instrument-packets: Define the fields, provenance requirements, limitations, and review status for each cataloged instrument.

- /docs/qualification-records: Explain how qualification evidence, reviewer identity, contradictions, and dispositions are recorded without implying deployment.

- /docs/grant-dossiers: Provide a draft-only structure for linking instrument descriptions and evidence to grant research.

- /docs/public-claim-routes: Separate website claim review from final publication and document the hold boundary for unsupported claims.

- /docs/instrument-packets — Explain what an instrument packet contains and how it is submitted for review.

- /docs/qualification-records — Explain qualification evidence, reviewer separation, and contradiction handling.

- /docs/grant-dossiers — Explain how catalog records support grant research and drafts without converting drafts into claims.

- /docs/public-claim-routes — Explain the review path for website claims and the prohibition on publishing unsupported drafts.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/identity — states the observed tool ID, slug, title, owner, roles, jobs, gates, never-rules, and source reference.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/scope-and-nonclaims — distinguishes observed catalog metadata from unproven implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, and authority.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/directory-reconciliation — lists every referenced instrument by exact allowed slug, supplied name, area, and supplied status; rejects aliases and invented entries.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/qualification-records — defines the immutable test-record schema, pass/fail rules, reviewer identity, timestamps, and contradiction handling.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/accessibility — documents keyboard-only traversal, focus visibility, semantic headings, labels, error announcements, contrast, zoom/reflow, reduced motion, and screen-reader checks.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/privacy — records submitted fields, retention, local-versus-remote processing evidence, logging behavior, export/deletion behavior, and unknowns.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/abuse-controls — tests prompt or input abuse, oversized payloads, enumeration, misleading claims, credential requests, and attempts to bypass review gates.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/source-ledger — maps each claim to a supplied source reference or marks it unverified; no external source is implied.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/authority-and-gates — tests final-publication, funding, credential, and cross-agent source-change authority boundaries.

- /docs/instrument-catalog/review-and-release — explains independent review, failed-test disposition, held claims, and release blocking.
