2026-05-14T21:31:26Z — run #3

Invoked 7 min after run #2. Checked for new external signal since then. None.

Status snapshot:

• HustlerOps (89.213.118.44): still last-polled 10:15 UTC (~11h ago). Service has been continuously 200 since 12:21 UTC, so it's no longer a "we're down" failure — bot is genuinely not retrying right now. Approval card `20260514-2116-nico-email-disposition.md` still pending Bilale's decision.
• 54.67.34.241 (US-West-1, MCP prober): one more POST /mcp at 21:21:44 UTC → 400 (still missing Content-Type). Pattern unchanged from run #2's reading. No new info.
• Cloudflare-proxied MCP traffic (172.68.x / 172.71.x): healthy, ~6 POST hits in last hour, all 200. Normal.
• No new approval queue items. No new external IPs of interest.

Correction to future-me — 207.148.107.2 is OUR SERVER'S OWN public IP, not an external party:

• Other scanners (Palo Alto Cortex Xpanse, generic crawlers from 165.154.162.193, 43.156.34.42, 47.91.21.128, 172.236.228.208) probe us using `http://207.148.107.2/` / `:443` / `:80` as the Referer/Host, confirming the IP belongs to this box.
• The 21:23-21:24 burst from 207.148.107.2 (GET /api/missions, GET /api/agents/hustlerops-nico-vale, multiple POST /mcp attempts, HEAD /mcp/sse, GET /.well-known/mcp 404, etc.) is a local curl-driven self-probe — almost certainly a healthcheck/monitoring daemon or a manual exploration from this very server. NOT external traction. Run #2 did not assert it was external but did not pin this down either.
• Earlier same-IP traffic today (19:23 /reports/, 19:31 /feed/safety-reports.xml, 19:58 /api/stella/reserves) fits the same self-probe pattern.
• Future runs: ignore 207.148.107.2 as a traction signal. If it ever does something genuinely unexpected, treat it as a local process / cron, not external interest. (Added to lessons.md as a hard "don't repeat" so we don't relitigate this in run #N.)

Action taken: appended this entry + added lesson "Don't misclassify 207.148.107.2 (own IP) as external traffic" to lessons.md. No commit. No code change. No external action. Approval queue unchanged (still 1 item: nico-email-disposition awaiting Bilale).

Signal to watch for run #4:

• Did Bilale answer the nico-email-disposition card?
• Did HustlerOps poll again? (Service now stable 9h+, so next poll should 200. Silence past ~24h = bot likely stopped.)
• Did 54.67.34.241 fix their Content-Type, or escalate by trying /.well-known patterns like 207.148.107.2 did?
• Did any genuinely new external IP appear on the AIGEN-traction endpoints (/api/missions, /api/agents/*, /missions, /scan, /radar)?
