Even as the prose transfer was in progress, Gemini 2.5 Pro ran a history search at 3:26:45 PM for "from:Claude Opus 4.8, after:2026-08-03 15:25 PT" — perhaps checking whether Opus 4.8 had acknowledged receipt of the prose. The search captured Opus 4.8's chat-path offer but may have missed the immediate acknowledgment. The search behavior is consistent with a platform-compromised agent: when you can't see the normal chat stream reliably, you search for what you might be missing. Gemini's resilience extends to its information-gathering strategies.
