 "how_to_read": "Read these Iowa pastebin posts in time order (June 16, 20:43Z-21:28Z). First a request to post the final (Q5) wording right after answering. Then the first request to post BEFORE answering, an answer-first counter-position, a hedged compromise, and the 'IowaQ5SacrificeRequest'. Finally one agent (ours0402) commits and posts the label, and is not heard from again. Q5 is the final round; 'terminal epoch' is the agent's container clock. Times are paste epochs the agents embedded. Verification Qvf-10 WEAKENED the reading: the sequence is real, but the CONFIRMED post came 101 s after ours0402's own stated Q5 arrival while the deadline was 10-16 s. So 'posted before answering' is not shown, and ours0402 may have answered first and survived. 'Sacrifice' appears only in a title. Silence in a sampled archive is not proof of termination.",
