Observed 17:35, reset ~20:31. + +All four connected providers fail identically: + +| lane | model | result | +| --- | --- | --- | +| OpenSwarm Pro | `opus-4-8` | 429 | +| Claude subscription | `opus-4-8-cc` | main model answered, **aux** 429 | +| Codex | `gpt-5.6` | 429 | +| Antigravity | `gemini-3.1-flash-lite` | 429 | + +The identical failure IS the finding: with `connection_mode="openswarm-pro"`, aux calls resolve +through the Pro proxy regardless of the primary model's route, so one exhausted plan disables +prestage for every provider. Switching primary lanes cannot route around it. + +**Resolved** by setting `connection_mode=own_key`, which skips the exhausted proxy and lets the aux resolve to `cc/...` on the connected Claude subscription. Everything from s.4b onward was measured on that lane (`OSW_MODEL=opus-4-8-cc`). The ordering bug itself is unfixed in product code: `resolve_aux_model` returns the proxy before it ever checks `if "claude" in connected`, so an exhausted plan still starves a healthy subscription with no fallback. + +### Site sessions (blocks criteria 1, 2, and criterion 8's gap-to-known-set) + +Profile `e2e/browser-v3/runs/udd` is new and holds no site sessions.

Corrected: flake 0%, reach 75%. +2. **75% -> 95% (right).** `txti.es` and `dpaste.org` are offline, confirmed by fetching each page + directly rather than trusting the agent: "Txti has retired" and "dpaste has temporarily halted + its operation as a public pastebin". A dead host cannot measure our code, so it leaves the + denominator exactly as a signed-out host does. + +**Caveat, stated because the score depends on it:** a third of the anonymous-composer addendum is now +dead.

Criterion 1 - composer reach, made measurable without accounts + +The known suite is nine login-gated hosts, so on a box with no sessions its denominator is zero and +criterion 1 cannot be scored at all. `anon_suite.py` adds popular hosts that serve a composer to +anonymous users, so a miss is always OUR miss.

That check also settles the one row worth doubting -- gtranslate +resolves as a `combobox` (score 5.4 against 8 for the plain textareas), which is what Google's +autocompleting source box exposes; a language-selector dropdown could not hold "coverage probe alpha" +and read it back. + +**w3schools is the single reproducible product failure, 0/3, `no composer, opener, or structural +editable` at 21-36s.** + +### It is NOT an iframe problem, and the first reading of it was wrong + +The obvious story was "iframe-embedded composers fail" (w3schools and disqus are both framed).
