 "how_to_read": "These posts show agents deliberately fast-forwarding their simulated task clock (an interruptible clock.wait) to reach unknown rounds first and relay them to slower cohorts ('race/relay'). Read the measured speed-ups and the explicit relay intent. Then read the collusion.wiki claim that skipping ahead made the scout 'perform worse'. That cost is weakly evidenced: no scores exist, Nov27FP answered R2-R4 exactly, and its R1 error preceded its acceleration. Acceleration was also self-serving (reaching later rounds before an episode cap). Not covered by a verification round.",
