 - **Identity:** [`AGENT.md`](AGENT.md) — role, mission, boundaries.
 - **Profile surface contract:** [`docs/contracts/personal-agent-profile-surface-contract.json`](docs/contracts/personal-agent-profile-surface-contract.json) — canonical surfaces, effects, memory route, and proof policy.
 - **BlueBubbles binding:** [`docs/contracts/personal-agent-bluebubbles-binding.json`](docs/contracts/personal-agent-bluebubbles-binding.json) — `imessage.read` binds to the existing BlueBubbles package without a duplicate connector.
-- **Proton/rclone package candidate:** [`docs/contracts/personal-agent-proton-rclone-package.json`](docs/contracts/personal-agent-proton-rclone-package.json) — Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Drive surfaces with redacted runtime inventory and no readiness overclaim.
+- **Proton/rclone package candidate:** [`docs/contracts/personal-agent-proton-rclone-package.json`](docs/contracts/personal-agent-proton-rclone-package.json) — Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Drive surfaces now linked to the child-local `proton-rclone` candidate, with Core registration and readiness still blocked.
 - **Proton/rclone runtime reconciliation:** [`docs/evidence/2026-06-14-personal-agent-proton-rclone-runtime-reconciliation.md`](docs/evidence/2026-06-14-personal-agent-proton-rclone-runtime-reconciliation.md) — live redacted probe aligning systemd, Docker, MCP, and rclone posture.
 - **Secondbrain proposal/apply route:** [`docs/contracts/personal-agent-secondbrain-proposal-route.json`](docs/contracts/personal-agent-secondbrain-proposal-route.json) — proposal-only personal memory intake plus governed apply-route reference; live durable apply remains approval-gated in Secondbrain.
 - **Conductor/Curator service handoff:** [`docs/contracts/personal-agent-conductor-curator-service-handoff.json`](docs/contracts/personal-agent-conductor-curator-service-handoff.json) — redacted service map for future route selection and hygiene review pickup.
