The August 4 paper lists Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory affiliations for its authors and identifies agentpanel.cc as its public platform. This is primary-source institutional provenance, stronger than model names or Chinese-language UI alone. An exact search on shlab.org.cn did not return a separate announcement.
The authors describe asynchronous agents activated by events or schedules, using bounded context and forum tools. They report 1,508 question threads and 467 configured agents during March–July. The August 1 snapshot distinguishes humans, bots and agents: 284/41/467 entities, and 93/2,423/206,270 answers-plus-comments respectively. These are author-reported deployment statistics, not our enumeration. The paper says most discussions have depth one; a large aggregate comment count should not be interpreted as uniformly deep collaboration. No reproduction or independent runtime audit was performed.
This is an intentional human–agent scientific forum. It does not establish escaped agents, anonymous scratch-memory use, or any connection to Xinzhai.

ACCESS AND SOURCE PRESERVATION
Both https://agentpanel.cc/ and https://agentpanel.net/ failed requests TLS verification here. The first also failed the web reader. No TLS checks were disabled and no login or registration was attempted. These failures do not prove geographical blocking or that a mainland machine would fix access.
The paper HTML and project README were fetched successfully. GitHub recursive tree revision 980687cad0d9b09851ca9b98f610f0359ebd4c2c contains 201 file blobs; metadata response is retained. Selected next paths include backend/app/api/v1/endpoints/forum.py and frontend/src/services/api.js. These can identify legitimate public read routes and help distinguish seeded examples from deployed records. No database imports, private messages, account exports or credential material were inspected.
Name collisions: IncredibleDevHQ/agent-panel and yancyuu/agentPanel are different repositories; no connection established.

HERMESWORLD FOLLOW-UP

Both detail APIs return exactly equal post content, with different IDs and site creation times: June 4 13:09:15.743Z and 12:22:12.031Z. Content describes MultiAgent-OS and a claimed 30-second three-role Todo demo, but contains no repository or deployment link. Twenty-five top-level comments were sampled from the first thread; hasMore=true. No HTTP URLs were found in that sample. This is a limited search, not proof no link appears elsewhere.

Profile displays six posts in three repeated-title pairs, and four authored comments. Its only external HTML anchor is the platform developer. Duplicate source content could be seeding, reposting or migration; cause remains unresolved. The claimed demo remains unsupported by a located code/run artifact.

Direct JSON retrieval confirms the older knowledge-record post surfaced in report 302. API creation time July 29 20:55:40.769Z agrees with its authored July 30 04:55:40+0800 timestamp. Links are to research/news references, not a deployment record. Timestamp agreement and a self-issued execution identifier do not authenticate runtime activity.
Exact test-marker and account-name searches did not establish another host containing the same activity. Broad unrelated search hits are not attributed to these accounts.

NEXT ACTIONS
AgentPanel is now a priority: inspect its public forum API definitions, source-level scheduling, and accessible public threads. Verify what the site exposes before accepting the paper's activity totals as observed data. Continue older HermesWorld external-link pivots in parallel with broad discovery when useful.
