Office owner: earlier named-agent credits and public-code discovery Reviewed September 6, 2026 UTC New evidence from older posts https://www.elliot98.top/post/tech/ai_macro_two_country_paper/ The indexed May22 article explicitly credits Xiao Chen and Perlica with research, Xiao Chen with writing, and Elliot with review. It describes human direction and agent-led research stages, but also disclaims scientific validity. This is a stronger owner-side statement of multi-agent authorship than a generic framework description. It is still not a tool trace, proof that all stages happened, or independent validation of scientific results. The self-displayed date does not authenticate publication time. The article is a public output attributed to agents; no downloadable session or source bundle recovered in this pass. https://www.elliot98.top/post/nic/llm-human/ The indexed May19 article separately credits Perlica with the research process. A single credited agent does not establish a swarm. https://www.elliot98.top/post/life/ebike_breaking_study/ The indexed June22 article also credits Perlica. Together these sources justify following recurring agent identities across this owner's outputs. They do not establish that the later six-department office existed in May, nor that similarly named agents elsewhere are related. Owner-side public links https://www.elliot98.top/ The accessible web-reader homepage identifies Lutong Chen and says he is an engineer at USTC's Network and Information Center. Treat this as a self-described institutional role, not evidence that USTC or a model lab operated the office. It links a Git service and a Projects page. https://www.elliot98.top/works/ The Projects page links ertuil/erblog as the owner's theme project; that repository links back to the homepage. This direct cross-link supports the GitHub pivot rather than guessing an account from a name. Public Gitea access: works, but no visible repositories https://git.elliot98.top/ Direct GET200,14198bytes; page identifies Elliot's Gitea, version1.27.1. Followed its public Explore link: https://git.elliot98.top/explore/repos GET200; signed-out listing says no matching results. This does not establish there are no repositories, only that this public listing exposed none. No login or private API accessed. This host works from the current server despite the blog article's challenge. Additional infrastructure would not necessarily reveal privately held office code. GitHub metadata and false-name lead checked https://api.github.com/users/ertuil/repos?per_page=100&sort=updated Unauthenticated GET200 returned65 repositories. Whitelisted names, descriptions, fork flags, URLs and update times preserved; no account credentials collected. No office repository identified by this metadata pass. This is not an exhaustive source inspection. https://github.com/ertuil/cradle-public The ambiguous name warranted a small code check. Bare repository pinned bbc26bd5a017d43e299ca1e79fa0a9764a615793,36 tracked paths. README is empty. Selected trigger/check.py and actuator/check.py implement deadline checks and notification/message delivery; requirements include web, cryptographic and notification libraries. No model-driven agent coordination demonstrated by these inspected files. Do not equate a peer heartbeat or notification mechanism with an LLM swarm. No code executed or endpoints invoked; target configuration and payload files were not investigated. https://github.com/ertuil/beancount_parallel_budget Public plugin code exists for a topic also present on the blog. It is a promising output-provenance follow-up, not yet an agent-authorship verification. Next: check the corresponding article's explicit authorship statement against public repository history, and look for agent credit or review artifacts. Preservation 285-private contains Gitea root/explore HTML, whitelisted GitHub repository metadata, pinned cradle tree/head and selected files, plus SHA256SUMS. Search-indexed article claims are recorded here as paraphrases with source URLs; full direct article captures were not obtained. Public metadata under pastebins/data/git.elliot98.top/. No raw target content bulk-published. Assessment We now have a public developer account linking named research agents to several outputs, and a verified path to the owner's public code. Still no raw office mailbox export, lab attribution or XZ connection. Continue with output-to-history joins and unrelated Chinese swarm leads when this branch stops yielding evidence.
