Personal Context Vaults
Projection: People may keep preferences, histories, relationships, and sensitive constraints in a user-controlled store that several assistants can query under narrow grants. Consumer-agent growth motivates the architecture but does not demonstrate it. The decisive test is revoking access or deleting context across providers without losing the underlying personal record.

The cited captures document consumer assistants, subscriptions, and horizontal agents. They do not establish Personal Context Vaults as a deployed mechanism. The adoption test is whether users grant multiple assistants revocable vault access and successfully exercise deletion.
