+# Integration guide: sourceos-spec local-first release contracts → agentplane
+
+This guide explains how `agentplane` should consume the local-first release-control contract family published from `SourceOS-Linux/sourceos-spec`.
+
+The canonical upstream object family is introduced in:
+
+- `ReleaseSet`
+- `BootReleaseSet`
+- `EnrollmentToken`
+- `Fingerprint`
+- `ExperienceProfile`
+- `IsolationProfile`
+
+`agentplane` is the downstream execution-plane consumer of those objects. It should not redefine them locally.
+
+---
+
+## Purpose of the seam
+
+`sourceos-spec` owns the machine-readable typed contracts for local-first release assignment and post-apply attestation.
+
+`agentplane` owns:
+
+- bundle validation and execution eligibility
+- placement and replay/evidence behavior
+- downstream apply/rollback execution semantics
+- runtime-side consumption of release assignment and fingerprint evidence
+
+---
+
+## What agentplane should consume
+
+The minimum downstream consumption surface is:
+
+1. `ReleaseSet`
+2. optional `BootReleaseSet`
+3. optional `EnrollmentToken` when boot/recovery or first-join flow is required
+4. `ExperienceProfile` reference
+5. `IsolationProfile` reference
+6. `Fingerprint` after apply
+
+---
+
+## Minimal execution rule
+
+Before a local-first apply or rollback path proceeds, `agentplane` should be able to answer:
+
+- which `ReleaseSet` governs this target?
+- which experience and isolation profiles are attached?
+- is there a required boot/recovery companion set?
+- is there a valid enrollment token when the requested path requires one?
+- after apply, did the emitted fingerprint remain compliant with the assigned release?
+
+If those questions cannot be answered, the path should be treated as incomplete for this slice.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended handoff shape
+
+A narrow downstream handoff envelope should include at least:
+
+```json
+{
+  "release_set_ref": "rs_local_0001",
+  "boot_release_set_ref": "brs_local_0001",
+  "experience_profile_ref": "xp_local_0001",
+  "isolation_profile_ref": "iso_local_0001",
+  "enrollment_token_ref": "tok_local_0001",
+  "target_id": "m2-control-node-01"
+}
+```
+
+After apply, downstream artifacts should preserve:
+
+```json
+{
+  "release_set_ref": "rs_local_0001",
+  "fingerprint_ref": "fp_local_0001",
+  "compliance_status": "compliant"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Execution behavior
+
+### When the assignment is complete
+
+`agentplane` may continue into normal validation, placement, apply, and evidence flow.
+
+### When boot/recovery authorization is required
+
+`agentplane` should require the `BootReleaseSet` and any valid `EnrollmentToken` expected by that path.
+
+### When fingerprint evidence is missing or non-compliant
+
+`agentplane` should not silently mark the assignment successful. Missing or drifted fingerprint evidence should remain visible in downstream artifacts and replay surfaces.
+
+---
+
+## Evidence expectations
+
+Downstream artifacts should preserve:
+
+- `ReleaseSet` reference
+- `BootReleaseSet` reference when used
+- `ExperienceProfile` reference
+- `IsolationProfile` reference
+- `EnrollmentToken` reference when used
+- `Fingerprint` reference
+- compliance outcome (`compliant`, `drifted`, `unknown`, `failed`)
+
+That lets replay and review explain not just that a local-first apply occurred, but whether the resulting host actually matched the assigned release contract.
+
+---
+
+## Non-goals
+
+This guide does not require `agentplane` to:
+
+- become the canonical schema source
+- own higher-level workstation/bootstrap semantics
+- define transport bindings for these objects
+
+Those remain upstream responsibilities in `sourceos-spec` and adjacent repos.
