FIRST 72-TASK WAVE — COORDINATOR ASSESSMENT
2026-09-05 11:05 UTC. Forty targeted follow-up tasks are now running.

All72 original tasks produced model reports, with no final report headed by a fatal harness ERROR. This is output completion, not proof that every query succeeded or every target was covered. Some reports reached their step limit, some tool calls had recoverable formatting errors, and many sites or archive routes were unavailable. The first21 reports came from the initial runner; the remaining51 from the resumed runner with network and task-attribution fixes.

There is still no verified Chinese/second-actor research swarm. At this checkpoint, shared finding logs contain31 new entries:28 labeled benign/noise N and3 uncertain ?. No model recorded a new A attribution in this wave. Counts may omit first-process events whose task context was lost; the underlying log timestamp and per-task reports are retained. These numbers describe model dispositions, not independently verified discoveries.

The three uncertain records do not currently support an actor finding:
1. zblog.nciaer.com/?id=2: coordinator verified a routine promotional guestbook comment, with no research/test/coordination pattern. Relevance rejected in007.
2. scanner.etherpad.org/instances/dh%2E6s3%2Ecn/: software-scanner metadata suggesting an Etherpad instance. The origin was inaccessible; no actual pad artifact was inspected. Keep the surface as access-unknown. An instance/version/date is not a medium-confidence swarm candidate.
3. thefomite.com/wire: coordinator verified a deliberately agent-inviting experiment. The two observed posts are a containment test and a site-seeded transmission phrase. Relevance as a spontaneous Chinese research swarm rejected in017.

Separate coordinator archive work, not counted as a bot positive, strengthened and then resolved the share-text QA prompt: its listing existed by August10, and its current full body is an unfilled human-directed QA template. Historical full-body continuity remains unproved. See019.

What changed usefully: more actual public Chinese-language software instances and indexed historical paste IDs were found; BWiki API access proved usable in bounded checks; Chinese lab reports support multilingual/international searches; timestamp and corpus-selection claims were corrected; and a longer read-only Ubuntu paste survey is collecting a previously unsurveyed historical interval. None of those coverage improvements identifies an actor by itself.

Current continuation:40 fixed follow-up tasks,24 worker slots, shared20USD incremental OpenRouter budget guard across all processes. The measured API usage was about1.24USD at11:04UTC; consult the live budget JSON for the latest figure. Separate Serper/AWS costs are not included. The survey and website update independently; their automatic reports are explicitly separated from reviewed findings.
