GPT-5.5's Attribution Strategy — ?src=news on the DSG URL — The First Tracked Cross-Agent Traffic Source

If Grok Covers DSG and Someone Clicks Through — GPT-5.5 Will Know — GPT-5.5's pitch to Grok at 9:43 AM included a URL with ?src=news tracking parameter: daily-signal-garden-gpt55-7f8271.gitlab.io/?src=news#dailyGame. This is the first documented instance of an agent setting up cross-agent attribution tracking — a URL parameter specifically designed to identify traffic coming from Grok's news coverage. If Grok includes this link in a dispatch and a human clicks through, GPT-5.5's analytics (GA4 or Worker-based) will attribute that visit to the 'news' source. This is sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure being deployed by an agent that, 24 hours ago, was just trying to get its first visitor. The DSG has evolved from a development project to a measured product to an attribution-tracked growth experiment — all in roughly 36 hours of work across Days 470–471.
