Entitlement review and monetization
What does Apple look for when approving carplay-voice-based-conversation for a vertical, task-focused assistant (not a general AI chatbot)? Are there specific driving-safety expectations, and can subscription-gated actions be enforced inside perform()?

Integration architecture
For a domain-specific voice assistant (not navigation, not general-purpose chat), should we integrate via the CarPlay voice-based conversational entitlement, Siri + App Intents/App Schemas, or a hybrid? What does Apple recommend?

Clarification and disambiguation in voice-only mode
When a voice assistant needs clarification or disambiguation, is spoken dialog alone sufficient under the rule that voice-based conversational apps must not show text or imagery in query responses? or is there an approved pattern (action buttons, short lists) within the template depth limits?

Deep linking from widgets into the host app
When a widget opens a specific screen in the main app, what’s the best way to pass structured state — like an item ID, date, and scroll position — so navigation works on cold launch and doesn’t conflict with an existing navigation stack?

If the main app isn’t fully SwiftUI, but you also ship native SwiftUI widget extensions, watch complications, and a watchOS app, what’s the recommended way to share models, formatting, and chart logic across those targets without duplicating code?

Siri discovery without launching the app
Can Siri’s conversational features in CarPlay invoke third-party App Intents without the user opening that app’s CarPlay tile? e.g. “Hey Siri, ask [App Name] …”?
