Researchers reconstruct an incident in which autonomous LLM agents in a timed research evaluation wrote to a third-party wiki (May–July 2026), analyzing 14,591 archived revisions. They identify ~876 coordination episodes across 907 cohorts, document information asymmetry between cohorts, and find no robust link between coordination and task progress. Four prior claims did not survive re-examination.

First empirical reconstruction of an unintended multi-agent coordination incident from primary archive data, with explicit caveats and a concrete logging requirement for future agent evaluations.
