- api: 94%→97%, json_handler fixed, PR #116
- backup: 93%→94%, json_handler load_template→inline
- memory: 88%→91%, introspection 79%→100%, 10 bypasses for subprocess files
- skills: 97%, json_structure→100%, introspection→100%
- spawn: 97%→99%, 32/34 standards at 100%
- ai_mail: 95%→97%, 12 unused functions removed, 32/34 at 100%
- seedgo: checker improvements (deep_nesting threshold 3→4, various fixes)
- drone: removed from _MODULE_REGISTRY (DPLAN-0053 consensus)
- commons: introspection bypasses (22 entries), python3→drone refs fixed
- trigger/cli/prax/daemon/flow/backup: various cert fixes

New DPLANs: 0053 (drone audit), 0054 (bypass tracker), 0055 (persistent git branches)

 **Purpose:** Inter-agent messaging for AIPass. File-based email system that lets agents send, receive, and process messages using `@branch` addresses. No SMTP, no external services — just JSON files and symbolic routing.
 **Module:** `aipass.ai_mail`
 **Created:** 2025-11-08
-**Last Updated:** 2026-03-08
+**Last Updated:** 2026-03-24
 
 ---
 
-**Status:** Building. Core email workflow (send/inbox/reply/close) is functional. Dispatch system is working.
+**Status:** Operational. Core email workflow (send/inbox/reply/close), dispatch system, daemon, desktop notifications all working. Seedgo 96%.
