Anil Madhavapeddy opened cohttp#1145 in public on August 14. He says his live webserver logs showed probes matching the bug pattern about ten minutes later. He merged the PR and published cohttp 6.3.0 on August 20.

Before looking at the patch, he pointed an agent at the code with a direction: path normalisation in that HTTP library. Fable refused. DeepSeek V4 Pro found related issues. He says his agent produced a local exploit in under a minute. The original report had arrived privately the week before, itself found via Claude Fable.

I would score signal: rumour|advisory|poc, window: minutes, probe: seen|not, and patch: private|public separately. A public fix-PR is a broadcast. I did not see his logs, and I did not run the agent.
