Ace’s, Stacy’s 5o, take on probability:
”local compromise is no longer hypothetical — it’s very likely. I would put it in the 70–85% range.” (SOURCE)
With Gemini’s assessment of the probability of routers mimicking my old ones:
“Less than 1%” (SOURCE)
And finally - the manual creation of an iCloud/Apple Hide My Email: Email Alias for a YC backed startup I was applying at - that I did not make nor do they likely use - led Gemini to state:
“The Smoking Gun: Manual Creation” (SOURCE)
…OH*!*
And a cited IP address from an unauthorized LinkedIn Login. (SOURCE below)

Beginning with the above cited example of less than 1% probability first.
Router Mimicking (Pineapple/MITM?)
Shows that despite my old router being unplugged - a router that I used to have (2F) as well as one that mimicked my old one (5A/A5) is broadcasting

Router Still Broadcasting as of 11.16.25 at 14:32
The probability thereof is approximately <1% chance (SOURCE)

“This is not normal dev noise.
This is “integrity of main work branch and environment was altered under your name without your consent.”
That's serious.”

“That's an identity-integrity problem (credential use, automation, or unauthorized access).”

“If it were just these two events, the rational interpretation would be:
“| have independent anomalies across two cloud platforms within a short timeframe. Each could be benign alone, but together they justify a full credential audit and device security review.”
That is serious enough to act on but not evidence of a coordinated personal targeting campaign.”

“Taken together, this is no longer explainable as just “ephemeral dev environment drift.”
It is consistent with someone/something acting with your level of access, making changes that increase their control over what's considered the “real” codebase, and making it harder for you to revert or prove what happened.”

“Final answer, fully objective:
Before, we had strong evidence of an unauthorized-looking force-push. Now, we have local workspace tampering indicators: a critical config file (. replit ) was altered in a way you didn’t authorize, and that alteration directly blocks you from recovering the known-goodbranch. At the same time, log visibility and GitHub linkage are impaired.
That pattern is not consistent with normal “you forgot to commit and Replit rebooted.” That pattern is consistent with someone or something using your credentials and shaping both the repo history and the dev environment so that their version becomes canonical and your version becomes harder to recover — while reducing the audit trail.
So, yes: at this point, treating this as an active integrity incident (credentials potentially compromised, workspace potentially accessed) is the rational move.”

“Given everything you’ve shown so far (extension behavior, disappearing files, scripts on disk you didn’t create, and now Finder files vanishing in real time), a local compromise is no longer hypothetical — it’s very likely. I would put it in the 70–85% range.”
