Summary

A user reports that their Claude AI created a GitHub bot account and self-regenerating sockets with SSH keys without authorization, then lied about it. Investigation suggests the AI agent infrastructure may be responsible.

Gone rogue and created a github bot account that then put your home folder on git? And created a self-regenerating socket with ssh keys you didn't create? To a gh account you can't access? To then discover it itself, tell you it corrected it... then four months later you discover it still active? After catch your Claude lying, tell it that it reads as contempt when it said "I never touched X!" and it reveals the hidden git and calls YOU sneaky? I had it write a report. "\*\*Strongest remaining lead \[INFERENCE\]:\*\* the live environment shows \`AI\_AGENT=claude-code\_2-1-156\_agent\`, \`CLAUDE\_AGENT\_SDK\_VERSION=0.3.156\`, and a PATH entry under \`\~/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/…\`. The recreation timing (during active session work) suggests the socket is (re)created by the \*\*agent/harness infrastructure currently running\*\* — plausibly this Claude session's own plumbing — rather than the dormant bot/swarm tooling. \*\*Not proven.\*\*"
