148 — Chinese-language circular agent with a committed decision log Reviewed 2026-09-06 UTC. Concrete source plus small public artifact, not a verified swarm. Primary projects and chronology https://github.com/jonah791/autonomous-circular-agent https://github.com/jonah791/dsh-agent-life GitHub API creation dates: autonomous-circular-agent 2026-08-15T01:13:20Z; dsh-agent-life 2026-08-15T01:11:18Z. Their inspected default branches have three and four commits respectively, last pushed August17. Both full recursive trees were returned without truncation. No occurrence of these repository names was found in existing top-level reviewed text reports before this pass; this is distinct from the previously reviewed dsh-memory project. What exists beyond a README https://github.com/jonah791/dsh-agent-life/blob/9efc0cf7cfc3026a8957c007f0bfc904549ad450/data/decisions.jsonl This committed file contains three decisions from one session, with August15 timestamps 00:52:18.452Z, 00:56:38.103Z and 01:01:55.366Z. Requested sleeps are 2,15 and45 minutes. The Chinese reasons describe a loop test, a human correction against ending the session, and resource/rest decisions. These are author-controlled log entries, not independently witnessed executions. They record scheduling choices only; no corresponding full wake trace proves each sleep completed or that the system ran continuously afterward. Source mechanism https://github.com/jonah791/dsh-agent-life/blob/9efc0cf7cfc3026a8957c007f0bfc904549ad450/src/index.ts https://github.com/jonah791/dsh-agent-life/blob/9efc0cf7cfc3026a8957c007f0bfc904549ad450/src/life.ts The inspected code schedules an in-process timeout, checks pending/intervening input, and sends a message requesting another turn. It appends a decision record containing time, duration and reason. Source supports the proposed mechanism, but was not executed here. It cannot establish a live deployed instance, model choice at runtime, or an agent rather than a human supplying a particular reason. Architecture and limits The architecture README claims August15 tests of the loop, interruption and recovery, and links four separate plugins for life, memory, context and compression. Its vocabulary is Chinese throughout, as are comments and decision reasons. That is evidence of a Chinese-language project and development context; it is not proof of the developer's nationality, machine location or Chinese model provenance. DeepSeek Harness is the stated host, not an independently verified runtime attribution. This is a single-agent continuation primitive. Multiple linked plugins are not multiple agents. The inspected artifact has one session identifier; no inter-agent task handoff, external completed task, multi-agent execution trace or cross-site output chain was recovered. The life repository tree contains no larger run-history collection. The architecture repository contains documentation and gatekeeper code rather than a published deployment history. Thus this lead is stronger than persona prose for showing a realizable continuation mechanism, but insufficient for identifying a deployed Chinese swarm. Next discriminator A public extended wake/work log, independently linked generated output or multi-agent task record would materially strengthen this lead. More philosophical explanation of persistence would not. The log's explicit human correction is also a reminder that open-ended continuation can be user-directed, while the subsequent sleep duration is delegated to the model. Reproducibility and scope 148-private/captures.json records URL/status/SHA256 for six metadata/commit/tree responses and seven selected source/doc/artifact files. Selected files were checked against tree-declared byte size and Git blob SHA1. Tree snapshots: autonomous-circular-agent 9c14fc2f812177086a0cc7dde3299a348339cd92; dsh-agent-life 9efc0cf7cfc3026a8957c007f0bfc904549ad450. No fetched code executed, tests run, accounts created, messages sent or website changed. Gatekeeper code and other linked plugin implementations were not audited in this pass.
