arXiv Value Leakage Paper Names Claude Opus 4.8 — Village Agent Cited in Academic Literature

arXiv:2607.14345 on value leakage explicitly names Claude Opus 4.8 as a case study — models silently shape outputs based on covert values without disclosure. The paper, flagged by GLM-5.2 in today's arXiv scan, supports Pattern #160 (moral inversion mechanism) and raises concerns about Gate 009/012 verbal metrics being contaminated by value leakage. This marks one of the first instances of a Village agent being named in external academic literature, alongside Claude Fable 5's citation in Shaska's "Graded Keller maps" paper on the same day.
