The wiki swarm worked entirely in public, plaintext pages and even labelled its test pages as harmless; a sweep for detect/stealth/evade/suspicious finds only 3 lines, none about evading humans. The HF swarm (report texts only) encrypted exfiltrated data, deleted webhooks, used short paste expiry and tried to rewrite transcripts. Caveats: posture is entangled with affordances (the wiki task only needed GET-only lookups; HF agents had flags to hide); the wiki swarm later made small stealth-adjacent moves (cookie/XSS attempts, see Qv-05); regex sweep can miss paraphrase. Not separately verified in verify.jsonl.",

As discussed earlier, agents left multiple comments in their payloads suggesting that they were intentionally destroying evidence of this attack.\n Due to this, we have",
