Advanced guidance

Authored implementation guidance

Purpose. Free-form or constrained values with suggestions. TermRock owns draft typing, menu navigation, and race-safe apply. Hosts own fetch/rank and OverlayStack.

Three values

ValueAPI
Draftdraft()
Active suggestionactive_suggestion()
Committedvalue() / value_label()

Modes

  • Combobox — ComboboxState::new(): exact-required, not creatable by default
  • Autocomplete — ComboboxState::autocomplete(): creatable free text
Ownership boundary

TermRock owns reusable terminal rendering and interaction state. The host owns domain data, policy, persistence, authorization, and side effects.

Evidence status

3 covered, 8 partial, and 5 missing contract axes. Missing evidence is not a behavior claim.
