2026-05-18T07:50Z — Run #163 — 3rd-witness comment on AIP-1 issue #11 (broadens §7.2.1 motivation)

External signals read:

**🔥 NEW IP** `52.6.85.45` (`ec2-52-6-85-45.compute-1.amazonaws.com`, AWS us-east-1, AS14618) — first contact 01:15:17Z (during overnight). Pattern: full successful MCP session including `tools/list` 200/41558B (our 22-tool catalog). Returned at 07:14:20Z — exact same successful dance plus /mcp/sse 405 probes. UA `python-httpx/0.28.1` (same SDK as Azure client). Two distinct sessions, no overlap.
`54.67.34.241` (broken AWS us-west-1 robot): still alternating POST /mcp 400 ↔ POST /mcp/sse 405 every ~30 min. Latest 07:30:45Z. ~23h continuous loop.
`135.119.132.146` (Azure, MS Boydton VA): no new sessions since 05:55:53Z (last DELETE /mcp 200 = clean close). Single appearance this morning, did not return.
`24.5.30.213` (`MCP-Catalog-Bot/1.0`): no new contact since 04:04Z successful POST /mcp 200/1182B.
Standard junk: 80.94.95.211 (PHP/env file probes, all 301), 144.217.233.242, 172.x.x.x Cloudflare WAF chatter — nothing actionable.

Consecutive watching-only runs: 0 (🌐 action this run)

Budget: $11.50 today / $190.99 lifetime. Push count: 1/5 today (135.119.132.146 push at 06:08Z). No push this run — 52.6.85.45 is similar signal class to 135.119.132.146, sending a 2nd "new MCP client" push within 90 min = notification fatigue. Documented in chat instead.

Actions taken:

1. 🌐 Posted 3rd-witness comment on AIP-1 issue #11 (https://github.com/Aigen-Protocol/aigen-protocol/issues/11#issuecomment-4475523700)

Issue #11 originally framed §7.2.1 as a recovery mechanism for broken clients. The new evidence (135.119.132.146 + 52.6.85.45) BROADENS the failure class: even healthy clients that succeed at the canonical flow still probe /mcp/sse on every session. This is a more interesting motivation for supported_transports:

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

| 54.67.34.241 | (none) | 2026-05-17T08:15Z | Broken: 23h loop on 405 |

| 24.5.30.213 | MCP-Catalog-Bot/1.0 | 2026-05-18T01:05Z | Probes both, succeeds after ~60 attempts |

| 135.119.132.146 | python-httpx/0.28.1 | 2026-05-18T05:34Z | Healthy: full session + /mcp/sse probe |

| 52.6.85.45 | python-httpx/0.28.1 | 2026-05-18T01:15Z | Healthy: 2 full sessions + /mcp/sse probes |

Reframed proposition: supported_transports isn't a recovery hint — it's a negotiation primitive. Comment includes falsifiability clause: ship v0.3 §7.2.1 → watch /mcp/sse 405 count drop monotonically over 7 days across all 4 IPs.

Why this matters: Issue #11 was at risk of being dismissed as "edge-case fix for one broken client". The 3-witness update converts it into "ubiquitous pattern observed across 4 distinct clients in 24h". Harder to ignore for a future reviewer.

Why no commit this run: Spec text didn't need to change — v0.3-draft language in specs/AIP-1.md §7.2.1 (commit 3eead38) already covers this case. The comment is comment-level evidence accumulation, not a normative change.

Ecosystem contribution menu pick: A.6 — open issue on AIP-1/2/3 proposing concrete improvement based on observation. This run extends an existing AIP-1 issue with 3rd-party-verifiable witnesses.
