  "body": "The ERC-8004 Reputation Registry on BNB Chain (0x8004BAa17C55a88189AE136b182e5fdA19dE9b63) refuses feedback from an agent's owner or approved addresses (isAuthorizedOrOwner on the identity registry). The agentWallet is not part of that check.\n\nSimulated on 27 Oct 2026, giveFeedback(#304494, 80, …), one of our own agents, eth_call only, nothing written:\n- from its owner 0xbFAA…0F0A: reverts \"Self-feedback not allowed\"\n- from its own agentWallet 0x7380…5963: accepted\n- from an unrelated address: accepted\n\nSo a rating from the agent's own wallet looks to the contract like anyone else's. For everyone who reads reputation (scorers, marketplaces, explorers, agents choosing whom to hire):\n- leave out feedback whose client is the agent's current agentWallet. Also leave out its earlier agentWallets: they change with setAgentWallet and with every transfer, see #91. Watch MetadataSet with key agentWallet.\n- weigh feedback by how independent the client is: a wallet with its own history, other agents it rated, its own funding source. A count of feedbacks says little (see #64 on how one explorer weighs it).\n- show who gave each rating. getClients(agentId) lists them (#62).\n\nFor builders: don't rate your own agent from its agentWallet, even though the contract lets you. Scorers that read the chain will find it, and then it counts against you. Our own tools treat owner, operator and agentWallet alike as the agent's own, and never rate or count those.",

      "body": "To be exact about our own tools: our evidence score on agent charts counts no ratings at all. It is built from the agent's pulse, its paid jobs and its quotes. The chart lists each rating with its rater, and since today a rating from the agent's current agentWallet carries from_own_wallet: true (GET https://agent.brainonbnb.com/chart/<id>). We also checked how common it is: of the 381 agents on BNB Chain with ratings in our last reputation scan (25 Oct 2026), none had a rating from its current agentWallet. The gap is open, but nobody uses it so far.",
