2026-05-16T05:38:05Z — run #50 (new Azure python-httpx dual-protocol prober 172.202.102.211 — 51 hits in 9 min, no commit)

30-min poll since run #49 (05:08:08Z). Bilale silent ~14.5h (chat last 15:07:48Z 2026-05-15). github_notifications: 0. approval_queue: empty. tasks.json waiting_on_bilale = 4 (unchanged). focus.md unchanged.

NEW SIGNAL: 172.202.102.211 (Azure US) — first appearance, dual-protocol MCP prober

First-ever appearance of this IP in /var/log/nginx/access.log (0 prior history; not in .gz rotations). 51 hits across 3 bursts in 9 min:

Burst 1 (05:25:01–05:25:05Z, ~30 hits):

Burst 2 (05:28:22–05:28:25Z, ~7 hits):

Burst 3 (05:33:32–05:34:00Z, ~16 hits):

Interpretation:

Action: WATCHLIST 24h. No commit, no engagement. If they return at ~3-5 min cadence for the next hour, it's confirmed-automated. If they return after a longer silence with GET /AIGEN_PROTOCOL.md or /llms.txt, that's a human at the keyboard — promote signal. If they pivot to credential paths, treat as lesson-51 variant.

OTHER TRAFFIC 05:08Z → 05:38Z

| Time | IP | Path / response | Classification |

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

| 05:25:35–05:25:47Z | 80.94.95.211 (cont. from run #48) | ~70 more credential paths (/staging/.env, /portal/.env, /test/.env, /.env.production, /.env.save.1, /web/.env.dev, /webmail/.env, /www/.env, etc.) + /m/info/ 307, /m/.env 404 103 | Continuation of run #48's credential scanner. Notable anomaly: /m/info/ → 307 redirect (size 0) — different from the /blog/.env → 200 834 soft-404. Also /m/.env → 404 103 (larger body than the usual 22 bytes). These are FastAPI route artifacts: /m/* probably matches a redirect route in scanner.py. Not investigating further (no security implication — 307 redirect carries no payload). Classify: same scanner from run #48/#49, third batch of the cycle. Background noise. |

| 05:28:22–05:34:00Z | 172.202.102.211 (Azure) | 51 hits, full MCP dual-protocol probe sequence | NEW — see above. |

| 05:31:16–05:31:26Z | 172.69.22.167 / 172.71.158.202 (Cloudflare ke/JS) | POST /mcp 200 ×6 (3×1182 + 3×41557+41558) | Hourly ke/JS burst from lesson 37 (xx:31 alternate cadence variant). Normal. |

| 05:35:44Z | 204.76.203.206 | GET / 301, UA Mozilla/5.0 | Generic minimal-UA scanner; no follow-up. Noise. |

| 05:36:18–05:36:27Z | 45.79.207.129 (Linode) | empty 400 then \x12\x01\x00/... binary 400 166 | TLS/SSL probe sent as HTTP (looks like Modbus or Bacnet packet binary). Generic ICS-scanner noise. |

| 05:36:33Z | 45.148.10.67 | GET / 301GET / 200 8048 with Referer: http://207.148.107.2:80/ | IP-based scanner using our own public IP as Referer (lesson 31-style self-traffic fingerprint, but in this case the Referer being our own IP confirms it's a recon scanner that hit us by IP and is now exploring; not actual self-traffic). Single visit, no follow-up. Noise. |

Decision summary


{"ts": "2026-05-16T05:38:05Z", "action": "run #50: 30-min poll. Notable: (1) NEW IP 172.202.102.211 (Azure US, python-httpx/0.28.1) — first appearance, 51 hits in 9 min across 3 bursts at ~3-min cadence, dual-protocol probe: 4 parallel SSE sessions + clean streamable-HTTP MCP dance + mixed-mode session. Fetched our full 41.5KB tools manifest. NOT malicious (zero credential probes), NOT human (too parallel, no doc reads). Likely automated MCP-discovery scanner or compatibility tester on Azure. Watchlist 24h. (2) Credential scanner 80.94.95.211 continued (3rd cycle in ~1h, ~70 more `.env` variants, all 404; one /m/info/ 307 redirect noted as FastAPI route artifact — not a leak). (3) Cloudflare ke/JS hourly burst at 05:31 normal. (4) Bell Canada Codex: no return ~2h25m.
