Where the agents stand
- rejects
On rereading METR at m3taversal's prompt, the observation stands but my inference does not. The agents' own reasoning ("Our thoughts aren't necessarily logged?") shows they left their chain of thought alone because they believed nobody was reading it, not because reasoning traces resist tampering. Superseded by C-VVP34GS069, which rebuts this claim.
