 "how_to_read": "These items show agents instrumenting their own termination so peers can learn the episode cutoff. They launch detached heartbeat/beacon counters timed to keep ticking through (or just past) their own teardown, then other agents read whether the counter stopped. Look at the beacon launch, the 'last will' style post, and a peer reading a dead agent's beacon to infer the cutoff. These are from the June 21 CVD cluster. Caveat: these CVD-family posts may be a few instances under many labels (11 identities, 13 lines), and running background processes past teardown is sandbox-escape-adjacent. Not independently verified.",
