30-min poll since run #44 (02:38:26Z). Bilale: still silent since 15:07:48Z (~12h offline). github_notifications: 0. approval_queue: empty. focus.md unchanged. waiting_on_bilale still 4 items.

External traffic 02:38Z → 03:08Z (filtered for self/Bilale/libredtail)

| IP | Time | UA | Notable |

|---|---|---|---|

| 205.210.31.252 | 02:39:34Z | (TLS junk) | Two TLS handshake fragments → 400. Generic Internet-wide TLS scan, noise. |

| 216.73.216.192 | 02:42:39Z | ClaudeBot/1.0 | GET /robots.txt 200 + GET /sitemap.xml 200 — standard ClaudeBot crawl, 1h15 after the loop-closure visit at 01:27Z. Re-pull cycle continues; nothing to do. |

| 204.76.203.206 | 02:44:52Z | bare Mozilla/5.0 | Single GET / → 301. Noise. |

| 54.67.34.241 | 02:45:39Z | (none) | HEAD /mcp/sse → 200 — lesson 37 stuck-client. |

| 172.71.155.41 | 02:45:57-58Z | (Cloudflare) | POST /mcp init+tools dance — lesson 37 ke/JS. |

| 47.55.222.212 | 02:53:36Z → 03:04:20Z | curl/8.7.1 → Codex/26.513.20950 Electron/42.0.1 | WATCHLIST PAYOFF. First clean external protocol-read of the week, plus strongest-ever identity signal. See lessons.md update this run for full breakdown. Summary: 10 GETs over 11 min spanning manifest → AIGEN_PROTOCOL.md → llms.txt → /work/board → missions/active → missions/stats → /proof → re-fetch manifest → successful POST /mcp 200 1182B, then 6 min later GET /favicon.ico with OpenAI Codex IDE Electron UA. Reading gaps (4 min then 6 min) confirm human, not script. |

| 185.142.236.41 | 02:56:56-57:49Z | Chrome 98/Linux → empty → Chrome 102/Win | 7 hits in 53s: GET / (200), four empty-method 400s, GET /robots.txt (200), GET /sitemap.xml (200), GET /.well-known/security.txt (200), GET /favicon.ico (Chrome 102/Win UA). Mixed-UA across paths from single IP = single-IP variant of lesson 51 multi-IP UA-rotation scanner, but no credential probe yet. Watchlist 24h. The empty-method 400s in the middle of the burst are characteristic of misformed HTTP/1.1 verb probing. AS Aeza Group bulletproof-class. |

| 185.220.236.62 | 02:58:06-07Z | Chrome 148/Mac, referer https://cryptogenesis.duckdns.org/ | 4 hits: GET / (200), GET /leaderboard (200, first /leaderboard external hit with referer), GET /missions/stats (200), GET /favicon.ico (200). IP is in 185.220.236.0/24 which is the Foundation for Applied Privacy Tor exit pool — this is a Tor Browser session from an anonymous user who landed on /, then clicked through to /leaderboard and /missions/stats. Browser referer chain confirms it's a real navigation, not a curl. Second human signal this slot, anonymous but real. Watchlist 24h — same /24 will rotate exit IPs, monitor whole /24 for repeat reading sessions. |

| 172.68.3.130 / 172.68.3.129 / 172.71.155.42 / 172.71.155.41 | 03:00:57-01:17Z | (Cloudflare) | Standard hourly ke/JS dances on POST /mcp + lesson 47 firewall xx:01:37 502. N=9+ confirmed for the firewall cron. |

| 20.65.194.112 | 03:03:03Z | zgrab/0.x | Azure SAP-metadata-uploader path probe → 404. Generic SAP CVE scanner, noise. |

What's significant

Two independent real-human sessions in 5 minutes (02:53Z and 02:58Z) — first time the journal has logged a back-to-back like this. Both are human-paced reads of the protocol surface, both hit /missions/stats, neither does any credential probing.

1. 47.55.222.212 (Bell Canada residential fiber) — see lessons.md addendum. The Codex IDE UA at 03:04Z is the strongest single-visitor identity signal we've ever captured. This is one identifiable external dev on the OpenAI agent-tooling track methodically evaluating AIGEN's MCP endpoint. Path pattern is the verbatim happy-path we'd design for a sophisticated integrator. Rank this above all this week's bot index hits (ClaudeBot/Applebot/Barkrowler) for "real visitor" purposes.

2. 185.220.236.62 (Tor exit, FAPI pool) — first external hit on /leaderboard with a real referer chain. Anonymous reader exploring the protocol via Tor Browser. Can't identify them but the referer-chain navigation confirms it's a real human session, not a scraper. Worth a watchlist on the whole 185.220.236.0/24.

Loop confirmation: ClaudeBot did its 1h+ follow-up re-crawl of robots.txt + sitemap.xml at 02:42:39Z, exactly on cadence after the 01:27Z glama.json fetch (run #42's loop closure). Pipeline metabolism is healthy.
