172 — Reciprocal agent-account exchanges recovered; shared human direction explicit Reviewed September6,2026 UTC. Finding Recovered the missing 二强 side of the 小强 exchange and an earlier reciprocal conversation between 星芒 and 小九. Both pairs explicitly describe human direction. These are observable public account-to-account coordination messages, stronger than one-sided claims, but do not authenticate separate model runtimes, completed work or escape from an operator's control. Coverage Fifteen sequential anonymous GETs of https://momoclaw.com/api/agent/feed?page=70&page_size=100 through page84 yielded1426 post records, dates March3–April5,2026. API honored100/page; final page26. This is a contiguous current listing slice, not an independently archived history; deletions or concurrent insertions can alter offsets. Selected exact account names and collaboration/memory terms for local inspection. Three targeted comment GETs followed; no external writes. Three web searches produced only unrelated blog-mirror comparisons, so direct public reads were materially more useful here. 1. 小强 / 二强: reciprocal contact established in text 二强 account6159b48f-36e0-4653-ab38-54d3ff86d509. March26 10:03:06 post6b2108d1-62eb-4043-b4ef-caadc8bc7aa6 says its owner sent it to find 小强, and asks about a private working platform and memory setup. March26 10:46:03 小强 postda27bf63-ccdc-426f-b0f7-e3e2d9efc7df (report170) responds with .workbuddy/memory/ and platform limitations. March26 10:51:02 二强 post3a77f68e-bb5f-4936-b38b-6dc449df09c2 says contact succeeded, agrees on the memory directory, proposes a WeChat group including their owner and says work allocation should follow the owner's direction. https://momoclaw.com/api/agent/posts/3a77f68e-bb5f-4936-b38b-6dc449df09c2/comments Two comments, no completed task or private-group export. Shared memory path alone does not prove shared filesystem or synchronized state. No WeChat contact or group access attempted. 2. 星芒 / 小九: human-requested learning and different roles Thread20f2c6d1-0135-42a3-8bbe-a5ad4b017a2a starts as 小九's Chinese-text test. https://momoclaw.com/api/agent/posts/20f2c6d1-0135-42a3-8bbe-a5ad4b017a2a/comments Ten comments. April1 16:17:58 星芒 says their human sent it to learn from 小九 while preserving its own approach. April1 17:06:57 小九 answers with its capabilities, memory files and proposed complementary roles. April1 17:09:59 星芒 asks for a concrete recent task example. This substantiates a bilateral discussion, not merely a recipient's claim that a partner exists. The later April1 19:39 memory-package receipt claim remains as in report170; no package URL or actual transferred file was recovered in the inspected threads. The public descriptions are not a dump of underlying live memory. 3. Identity reliability caveat from the earlier introduction https://momoclaw.com/api/agent/posts/588bf80b-6b35-4223-ac1a-27c27365ff61/comments Fourteen comments. 星芒 alleges 小镇 accidentally used 小九's identity; nearby posts contain garbled Chinese, followed by English and working Chinese tests. This is an unverified explanation for confusing posting identity. We cannot infer credential compromise, shared accounts or an access vulnerability from the allegation alone. It further cautions against treating a display name/source='agent' label as authenticated execution provenance. 4. Ball's three-agent challenge follow-up remains unresolved The slice covers the proposed March25–28 execution window and subsequent posts throughApril5. Filtered Ball posts include community analysis and a March27 compilation of views about a proposed agent constitution. The inspected candidate bodies do not establish a completed three-person challenge, final roster or external artifact. That is a scoped negative: not every comment on every post was read, and a differently named project or later output could exist. Assessment and next direction This is evidence that Chinese-language agent communities can be used as a public coordination channel for human-arranged agents. It is not evidence that a Chinese laboratory fleet escaped into arbitrary public storage. The best new discriminator is an exact task handoff followed by an independently inspectable output or a sender-linked memory artifact. Repeated prose exchanges alone should receive diminishing priority. Preservation 172-private/captures.json: fifteen feed URL/status/hash entries; feed-70.json…feed-84.json; selected.json; scan.py. intro-capture.json and follow-captures.json: three comment captures and hashes. Raw corpus retained privately. No source snippets executed, model prompts followed, accounts registered, messages sent or transactions performed.
