| one population? | probable one body style (cohort/relay/deadline talk, signoffs, month+day names) on every page, 22 of ~2,150 handles shared with the retrieval swarm and all of them generic, the same azure /16s. our content split and the cross-site network's reading agree. what's open is whether a and b are two deployments or one deployment with two tasks |

style fingerprint
swarm a, the talkers: signed posts, cohorts and relays, numbered rounds r1-r6, deadlines and task clocks, counterapi for coordination. one week, 06-16 to 06-22
