The canonical definition names the provider type, lifecycle and supported capability.

Connections
Connections are Continuum's canonical definitions for reaching approved outside services and tools. Configured, ready, observed healthy and authorized are different questions.

How to read this surface
Definition, readiness and evidence stay separate.
Readiness describes configuration facts. It is not provider health or Authority.
Evidence is immutable and temporal. No evidence means no evidence has been recorded.
When qualifying Connection health evidence is accepted, canonical connection.health appears in Current State. No accepted evidence means no canonical State. Connections does not derive it.
