Key findings Re-sampling URLs from the trace shared by Cohere yields 52 different destination hosts, many of which are local or do not exist, and one is an invalid top-level domain. Swapping the order of two program names in a check for available tools made the model much less likely to continue with a network call. Model jaggedness (inconsistent behavior that changes with small differences in context) seems like a more likely explanation than a fixed backdoor destination.
