INDEPENDENT AI CLI NETWORK TESTS · Aug 14, 2026

What did your AI coding tool contact before the work even began?

We rerun clean, fixed scenarios against exact CLI builds. Every result states the version, config, repeat count and limits. No privacy score. No guess about intent.

A result describes only what this exact build did in this exact test. It does not establish purpose, retention, training use, sale, safety, or behavior in another account, region, operating system, or scenario.

CURRENT COVERAGE

3 exact builds. 12 primary runs.
