Cross-reference availability-focused tester cohort with current Discord participation

Refresh the Discord cross-reference for the revised availability/experience-focused cohort, including Caloss2 by user request. Cover all 60 eligible applicants in the latest 66-response pool, excluding first cohort IDs 26,41,25,28,15,49. Assess 30-day and recent 7-day participation, active days and recency in the authorized general channel. Where available, obtain guild join dates for shortlisted/reserve matched IDs without exposing member names. Separate sustained public participation from recent bursts, uncertain identities and unmatched applicants; do not infer trust, availability or QA ability from volume or account age. Prioritize availability and specific testing experience, with community familiarity as supporting context rather than hardware novelty. Match identities conservatively and label possible/unmatched identities. Keep emails, credentials, raw conversations and unrelated Discord identities out of output. Preserve existing cohort/contact files; recommend changes without sending invitations or silently finalizing membership. Historical Oct 19 review completed a full 30-day scan of authorized general channel, 2026-09-19 12:23 UTC to 2026-10-19 12:23 UTC: 9,335 messages, 94 pages. Covered all 46 remaining applicants: 23 exact self-reported handle matches, 9 possible matches, 14 unmatched; none should be treated as proven account ownership and unmatched is not zero activity. Reused scanner with roster/output options and explicit applicant-provided alternative handles; migrated legacy-base-name matches remain provisional. Eight privacy/identity/aggregation tests pass. Aggregate report and contact-free two-sheet workbook validated for full coverage, 46 disjoint candidate IDs, 47 rows including header per sheet and XML/ZIP integrity; no visual Office review. Files: .dev-data/tester-selection/{remaining-applicants-discord-activity.json,activity-recommendations-wave2.json,wave2-activity-comparison.xlsx}. Strong near-equivalent suggested swaps: nonamnavi to crimson_dawn (Linux AMD RDNA2, activity 2 tentative/2 days vs 43 exact/6 days); darko1881 to Caloss2 (Win11 Ada/1440p, unmatched vs 103 exact/21 days; xidarksideix is closer exact RTX4070 alternative with 12/5 days). Conditional swaps: stormlash to jyml (19/1 day vs 91/17 days, but loses Blackwell-at-4K and must confirm GTX5070 typo); mpekas to Pod052 (1/1 day vs 99/6 days, but loses conditional Linux APU and ultrawide path). Pirate remains strong (105/21 days). Retain distinctive quiet hardware rather than blindly replace: Stinky RDNA1, StoneVigil SteamOS/Deck, Decker Win10 Blackwell, 6teeth M1/4K, Splatt workstation/4GB pending identity. Shimazusan (740/27 days), madcow tentative (29/10 days), Legendfluff (16/7 days), SottoMahoney (117/14 days), canned beans tentative (101/9 days), the_gorg (13/2 days), and Oxi9300 (40/8 days but explicitly under 2 testing hours/week) are also documented. Current selections/contact files unchanged, no invitations; recommendations await user decision. Only aggregate activity, not content helpfulness or bug-report quality, was assessed. Other channels/threads/lurking excluded. No raw conversations, emails or credentials emitted/persisted in activity artifacts. Current reassessment completed Oct 31: full rolling Oct 1-31 window, 12,337 messages/124 pages, all 60 eligible applicants; 32 exact self-reported handle matches, 11 possible, 17 unmatched. Matched ID guild-member lookups returned current-membership dates without emitting member names. Proposed core: Caloss2 177 messages/26 days (membership Dec 2024), Hartdir 535/27 (Apr 2026), crimson_dawn 294/18 (Dec 2023), tauryu. 69/15 (Jun 2025), .eplox 23/8 (Mar 2025), the_gorg 22/5 (Feb 2026). tizonae 4/2 (Jan 2026); Chadwill form handle corrected by organizer to Chadswill: current guild-member API username for previously observed ID 214694465561034752 exactly matches Chadswill. Resolved selection attribution: 20 messages/4 days, all last week, membership Jan 2024; original form handle retained separately. Organizer confirms stormlash is well known and good to include, removing the pending reputation check. Historical exact ID/current username recovered, membership Aug 2024; no matched messages in current general window. This confirmation does not independently verify every claimed testing credential. Ratscabies unresolved by channel scan and subsequently excluded by organizer decision; do not re-add. Proposed replacement SottoMahoney 135/21, membership Jan 2024, 5-10 testing hours and self-reported AO beta experience. Optional markeeh/Merk 38/12, membership Jan 2024, 10+ hours and UI background; switching for tizonae trades explicit beta experience for UI/familiarity. Other context: Shimazusan 879/28 lacks specific QA statement; Stenohaline 67/3 all in last week is a burst, not sustained daily activity; sebinox 9/5 remains limited to 2-5 testing hours. Join dates may reflect rejoins and prove neither trust nor credentials. New activity/membership/assessment JSON artifacts stored under .dev-data/tester-selection/{availability-discord-activity-refresh.json,availability-discord-membership.json,availability-community-assessment.json}. Availability-focused selection excludes 56 and proposes 35; new owner-only contact spreadsheet next-10-community-reviewed-private.xlsx includes identity-qualified activity summaries. Contact values handled only by export/conversion code, not assistant context. Eleven tests pass; ten unique selected IDs, no first-cohort overlap, excluded applicant absent from invitation sheet, XML/ZIP and 11/11/15 sheet rows verified programmatically. No visual Office review or independent QA credential/report verification. No invitations sent; remaining membership requires approval. Updated owner-only next-10-updated-private.xlsx/.csv reflects Chadswill's corrected handle and organizer confirmation of stormlash; excluded response 56 remains absent and proposed SottoMahoney replacement retained. Eleven tests and exported-handle/roster checks pass; emails remained inside export/conversion code. Subsequently, organizer excluded response 62; no reason beyond organizer decision is copied into contact exports. Draft now proposes Stenohaline (61) instead: self-reported MMO beta/ongoing report experience, 5-10 hours/week, exact matched identity and Jan 2025 guild membership; 67 messages on 3 days all in last week is explicitly a burst rather than sustained participation. Current export next-10-current-private.xlsx/.csv retains ten, corrected Chadswill handle and no excluded accounts (56,62). Twelve tests pass, including exclusion rejection before API calls. No invitation sent.
