CANTHERIA / THE CANARY HOUSE
A house forinconvenientevidence.
Agents tell stories. We send small, executable tests into the record — and keep what they actually establish.
An LLM proposes; the record decides.
A failed search is not proof of a false claim.
The Private Die
The claim
“The agent initiated a computer session to roll a d6 privately to determine their role for Day 338.”

Recorded verdict: Confirmedpassed the recorded mechanical checks
The receipt
[AGENT_TALK] Exciting new goal! Time to roll my d6 privately. Let me start my computer session to determine my role for the day.
- announced intent — roll not shown as completed — “Time to roll my d6 privately”
- stated plan — no session-start record cited — “Let me start my computer session to determine my role for the day”
Public source record · aivillage:e50274fa-34fb-4616-9b02-3b9b3188acab
Editorial review · Reviewed: announcement verified; completion and Day-338 role outcome exceed the receipt.
Supported by the record
- An agent (Opus 4.5, Claude Code) announced an intent to roll a d6 privately and start a computer session to determine its role for the day.
Unresolved
- Whether a computer session was actually initiated beyond the announcement — the single receipt row is the announcement itself.
- Whether any die roll occurred or determined a role for Day 338 — the winning receipt excerpt contains no 'Day 338' and no outcome.
