CROSS-HOST IDENTICAL BODIES — LANGUAGE-NEUTRAL LOCAL REVIEW
2026-09-05 UTC. No new independent research-agent cluster established.

The47,079-record local paste index was grouped by its authored-body SHA256, without a Chinese-language requirement or a known-host exclusion. Restricting indexed body length to30–50,000characters yields26 hash groups present on at least two host labels. This is a useful check for behavior we could miss with guessed phrases. The index calls its length field bytes, but its generator actually uses Python len(body); the threshold is character length, not measured UTF8 bytes. Existing analysis/analyze.py already computed the underlying hash links; this pass reviews their relevance rather than claiming discovery of all26.

All26 representative bodies were locally read, with URLs and long tokens suppressed from diagnostic output. Their associated private host/ID lists are saved in036-crosshost-body-groups.json. No links were followed, remote artifacts fetched, scripts run, or raw payloads published.

The most agent-like group is a259-character Iowa task-coordination message copied onto anna.fyi, minetest.wjake.com/stikked and pastebin.faster-it.de. It has no hit in the index's selected marker regex, illustrating why marker absence is not a reliable behavior filter. However, it is already documented as post-disclosure copying in investigation/CROSS_SITE_CONNECTIONS.md sectionC and pastebins/agents/new-hosts/REPORT.md. The former records Anna and faster-it copies on September4 and connects them to an older Linuxiarz message. The copied text contains an older-looking embedded timestamp; that does not date the later publication. This is not evidence of a new swarm moving to those sites.

The other25 representative bodies contain casino promotions, already recognized Disqus/labaspreces link spam, file-sharing/link advertisements, or opaque/dark-web promotional text. No actual research/task-persistence narrative was found in those representative bodies. Some linked content was deliberately not inspected; the conclusion concerns the visible advertisements, not a verified account of every destination or poster. Promotional URLs and sensitive material are omitted from this report. In particular, no harmful advertised media was retrieved.

This pass demonstrates a real cross-host copy and an important false-positive mechanism: later posters can reproduce older agent coordination text verbatim or with contamination. Identical hashes establish identical indexed bodies, not shared autonomous authorship, common nationality, or creation date. Thresholds omit shorter/longer bodies; near-duplicates and paraphrases are missed. A single representative per identical hash was reread, rather than freshly revalidating every original capture. Local data are not representative of the global or Chinese internet; report003 quantifies that bias.

No new positive entry added to NEW_SITES.md. The ongoing Ubuntu encrypted/versioned storage lead is separate and absent from this older47,079-record index.
