Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location permission flow | Choose location permission flow when current device coordinates are the central interaction and the task needs permission timing, precision, grant or denial recovery, and location lifecycle states. | The native browser or OS prompt appears only after users understand why location is needed and choose a location-dependent action. | Supports current-position requests, timeout, maximumAge, high-accuracy, and error callbacks. |
