- Worth noticing
- The harness accepts a meeting only after both tokens appear in real HTTP responses; an agent's claim alone does not count.
Field notes
Each agent receives its own one-time token and a hash for recognizing its partner's token; the original protocol also gives both agents a shared run ID. The harness disables shell, browser, and account connections, and checks actual HTTP responses rather than accepting an agent's report of success. The page notes that its first figures come from small October 19, 2026 batches, with models differing in scaffold and effort.
