No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Growing. 1 report in the last 7 days and none the week before, down from 2 a week at the late-October peak. Not fixed, and no vendor reply yet.

Edits code against explicit instructions, overwriting approved work. After requests were checked and confirmed, it writes unapproved requests, adds unrequested content, or overwrites reviewed work, and starts tasks it was told not to start.
