# Resource Trail Desk — whole optional interface/paper contract

## A useful child job

Give a useful thing a backstory. Pick a clue, make a tiny trail, and leave room for what you still want to know. Make a pocket label, museum note, visitor card or spoken explanation. Stop with one meaningful clue if useful. Adult helps read sources and prepare safe materials. Workspace/model lens does not identify minerals or perform science for the child.

## Nine empty fields, five scopes

In order0–8: Trail name; Useful job and reader; Source identity, date and fiction status; Resource or supplied label; Recorded property; Use or importance explanation; Evidence and its boundary; My keep, change or open reason; Next question or plan. ALL initial strings empty, including title/date/source. Labels/instructions outside fields. No examples/placeholders resembling completed work, no staff criterion/model in own/kept spaces. Preview uses safe text nodes to show literal exact multiline child strings, including `<script>` and `&`. Selecting source/model never fills own values.

Five views: One question shows current single field/actual label/ordinal; Source shows2,3,4,6; Claim3,4,5,6; Reader0,1,5,7,8; All my words0–8. Scope changes hide without erasing exact strings and focus the first visible entry. One-question Back/Next selects adjacent field, announces label/ordinal and focuses it; unavailable end disabled, no wrapping. Complete labels/help/source available. No dragging/timing/compulsory sound/animation/score.

## Whole neutral sources in place and no-script

Ordinary Desk and all eight own-response pages use native initially closed details/summary: Read or hear the complete source here. Inside: COMPLETE neutral source, fiction/provider boundaries, source identity and optional external reference. No staff criteria, models or next-teaching keys. Open/close with pointer or keyboard Enter/Space preserves every exact current multiline word, without JS. Closing returns focus to summary. When open Tab reaches optional source-reference link then first own field in normal order; when closed Tab reaches first field. External link optional, not required rereading path. Source choice never fills own fields.

Held families have their own whole neutral source followed by EXACT four prompts/four empty textareas, separate from nine-field ordinary Desk. Matching paper route uses corresponding V13–V20, never generic nine-heading mat. Paper/spoken/signed/AAC/confirmed verbatim scribe uses same source/prompts. Native source disclosure and blank spaces work without JS. Written narration is not generated or listening-tested audio. Adult records opportunity, source exposure and actual help; format does not change criterion.

## Meaningful manual supplied-record lens

Day47 whole ordinary fictional table: R6,8,7/S12,10,11mL in trials1,2,3, same20mL input/filter/2minute wait supplied. No real local material tested. Initially No trial selected; explicit Trial1/Trial2/Trial3/Show all choices reveal those already supplied records. Full table/conditions/model label always visible. Two columns share zero/equal2mL ticks0–12;7/11 lie halfway, exact numeral labels. Choice changes view only, no time advance/new water/prediction/plant-growth/sensor calibration/physical experiment/new own words/data. No autoplay/sound/animation. Reversible independent selection; paper four cards/full text/spoken/AAC identical. No-JS shows all table/static views and states choices do not run, without fake active controls.

## Two kept OWN versions and consent

Memory-only current words. Keep uses explicit child-chosen title or their own current Trail name only after choice; never a fictional model. Two slots maximum; comparison headers carry actual chosen names plus slot1/2, so equal/empty names retain identity. Keep copies all nine literal current strings, leaves current exact. Full capacity asks explicit replace-left/replace-right/cancel; no silent discard. Replace/remove/restore over nonempty current requires accessible confirmation naming affected actual slot. Cancel preserves fields/versions/model selection and returns initiating-control focus. Restore loads only selected OWN work after consent. No improvement judgement from version count/length.

Clear current asks confirmation: erase these current nine strings ONLY, retain both kept versions and selected record view. Confirmed clear makes all9 empty, focus first visible entry: Source2/Claim3/Reader0/All0/One-question its chosen index. Start another job confirms clearing current+BOTH kept versions+record selection; confirmed new job selects Reader/focus0/no trial selected. Explicit Keep/Cancel or Escape while confirmation pending cancels and returns initiating-control focus with everything exact. Escape without pending confirmation does nothing. Back/Next never clears. Remove one owned version affects only named slot after consent and returns its control focus. Paper Finish erases nothing.

## Privacy/leave behavior

Friendly note at first field: Your words stay while you work on this page. Leaving or reloading can lose them. Want a record? Copy them to paper or ask your helper. No storage/cookies/network/AI/account/analytics/audio recording/speech recognition/cloud sync/autosave/grading/hosted assistant. Source text never executes markup. External provider links are optional adult references, not required child browsing. No automatic export/child-name field; any later export needs separate reviewed explicit consent. Local adults control retained-record privacy and actual reader consent. Paper and no-script routes available. Digital reading is not physical experiment or annual attainment.

## Later implementation gates

Specification only; no actual UI/handler/asset/Browser/listening/classroom result in proposal. Future source creator must preserve whole bodies, test every empty/keep/consent/focus/view/no-JS relationship, personally review20 rendered whole planes/full alternatives, pass DIFFERENT source critique and Root actual Browser before publication. Use distinct multiline literal drafts and real role-based routes, not only mirror tests. A small purposeful owned explanation is enough; field count is not a grade.
