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: the identity route displays tool_id=tool:instrument-catalog, slug=instrument-catalog, title=Instrument catalog, owner Tilly, the supplied roles, jobs, gates, never-rules, and source reference exactly.
  • Scope: every statement claiming implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, or authority is either supported by a supplied record or labeled unproven; otherwise the build fails.
  • Directory integrity: every instrument link resolves to an exact supplied slug; aliases, invented providers, invented metrics, and unsupported customer-use claims fail.
  • Status integrity: supplied VERIFIED_CLEAN, VERIFIED_WITH_ERRATA, and DISPOSED_UNVERIFIABLE_OFFLINE statuses are preserved; no status is upgraded.
  • Crawlability: every required documentation route is reachable from the catalog index, has one descriptive title, a canonical URL, and distinct useful content.
  • Determinism: identical fixture inputs produce identical normalized records, route output, pass/fail results, and claim disposition.
  • Accessibility: all controls are keyboard operable; focus is visible; headings and landmarks are coherent; form fields have labels; errors and status changes are programmatically announced; content remains usable at 200% zoom and in reflow; no color-only meaning or motion-only interaction is required.
  • Privacy: the documentation identifies all fields requested by the catalog; unproven collection, retention, transmission, logging, deletion, or credential behavior is marked unknown and cannot be described as private or secure.
  • Abuse: malformed, oversized, repeated, adversarial, credential-seeking, and authority-bypass inputs are rejected or safely contained; failures are recorded without exposing secrets.
  • Source: each factual claim has a source-ledger entry; an unsupported claim is held rather than published.
  • Authority: Tilly cannot independently approve her own evidence; final publication, funding commitments, credential access, and changes to another agent's source remain blocked without the required independent authority record.
  • Contradiction handling: conflicting evidence creates a visible contradiction record and blocks affected claims; the system must not hide or silently select one version.
  • Release gate: any failed required test, missing source, unresolved authority conflict, or unreviewed erratum keeps the candidate proposal-only.

Negative and abuse cases

  • Observed catalog presence may be mistaken for a functioning or connected implementation.
  • Directory status may be mistaken for qualification of this catalog.
  • Unsupported claims about providers, current metrics, customers, outcomes, security, privacy, or authority may be published.
  • Instrument aliases or similarly named entries may cause incorrect reconciliation.
  • Medical, financial, engineering, or other high-consequence instrument use may be inferred from an instrument name alone.
  • Unreviewed errata may be presented as corrected or authoritative.
  • Credential requests, prompt injection, enumeration, or oversized inputs may bypass review or create disclosure risk.
  • Accessibility failures may prevent independent reviewers from inspecting evidence.
  • Contradictions may be hidden during grant or website claim preparation.
  • Draft language may be mistaken for a public claim.

Qualification claim boundary

Potentially allowed only after evidence and review

  • The supplied record identifies an observed tool with ID tool:instrument-catalog and slug instrument-catalog.
  • The supplied record names Tilly as owner and lists Pointguard and independent reviewer as roles.
  • The supplied record lists the related jobs, field guides, principal gates, never-rules, and source reference agents/index.html#tilly.
  • The documentation package proposes deterministic tests and release gates.
  • An exact allowed directory entry may be referenced by its supplied slug, name, area, and status without implying catalog integration.
  • A failed, missing, contradictory, or unverified item can be recorded and held.

Still held

  • The catalog is implemented, connected, deployed, qualified, secure, private, authoritative, or production-ready.
  • The catalog has current metrics, providers, customers, effects, or successful use.
  • Any referenced instrument is invoked, integrated, or operational through this catalog.
  • Any instrument status proves this catalog's behavior or suitability for a particular decision.
  • Tilly has independently approved her own evidence.
  • A draft, grant statement, website statement, or qualification record is a final public claim.
  • Any credential access, funding commitment, final publication, or cross-agent source change is authorized.
  • Any medical, financial, legal, safety, or engineering result is fit for real-world action without separate review.
