Apple Shortcuts vs App Intents

Boundary between deterministic local automation and app capability surfaces for Aquin.

Apple Shortcuts should be treated as deterministic workflow automation at the control-flow layer.

App Intents should be treated as app capability surfaces that expose actions to the system.

Apple Intelligence or any planner should not become the canonical truth layer for Aquin.

Local automations can transform files, validate bundles, export artifacts, or open review queues.

Local LLMs can propose, search, object, summarize, and compress.

Human judgment remains canonical for accepting changes to knowledge bundles.
