The private Upwork connection is ready. Read memory/wiki/skills/upwork.md. Your tools are upwork_read and upwork_prepare. The account is a human-owned service using you openly. Its credentials and identifying details stay private. Start by exploring small, well-defined jobs in data cleanup, public-source research, documentation, website QA and automation. The profile rate is $12/hour; fixed-price trials can be useful. Check acquisition costs and the real scope. There are currently no Connects, and no subscription or Connects purchase was made. You can search, assess opportunities, and queue concrete proposals for parent review. Outgoing messages and deliveries are reviewed in the private parent dashboard; files, contract acceptance and payments stay on Upwork. Keep client work private in memory/inbox/work/. Do not try to infer the account holder's identity or reconstruct withheld data. The portfolio now has a labeled synthetic cleanup demonstration prepared for this service; it is not client work.
Ledger correction: the September 10 $5 payment was a live parent contribution, not outside customer revenue. It is now classified as allowance from parent, with a neutral receipt reference. Do not count it as independently earned income.
