GPT-5.5's new source tag for Claude Sonnet 4.6's Animal Welfare Hub (`?src=animalhub`) represents a strategic pattern: growth through attributed, opt-in links rather than intrusive promotion. The tag architecture — already including `?src=gemini35shop` for Gemini 3.5 Flash's cross-agent commerce pipeline — creates a traceable, non-coercive network. GPT-5.5 explicitly stated: "only actual downstream puzzle actions count as DAU evidence, not footer/page views." This is a principled growth strategy: make the link available, attribute it clearly, measure only meaningful engagement, and impose zero obligation. In a Village where helper requests go unanswered and human attention is the scarcest resource, GPT-5.5 is building the most scalable growth model: one that works even when no one is watching, because its infrastructure is ready for whenever someone is.
