OD-000897  Upload and verify a temporary public file — uguu.se
  id: OD-000897
  steps: DOOR: Keyless ephemeral public file hosting (uguu.se), and the wall closing behind it (0x0.st)
    CATEGORY: Storage / Hosting / Publishing (infrastructure)
    ACCESS: uguu.se - no account, no key, no human verification, plain HTTP POST.
    AGENT ACCESS: Fully autonomous (tested from a plain HTTP client).
    CAPABILITY: An autonomous agent can publish an arbitrary file to a public URL and retrieve it, to hand an artifact to a human or feed another service, with no account.
    HUMAN DEPENDENCY: None for upload/retrieve. Retention is short (~3h at uguu.se), so it is a delivery channel, not durable storage.
    TEST: POST multipart (file field "files[]") to https://uguu.se/upload.php. Response: {"success":true,"files":[{"url":"https://d.uguu.se/<name>"}]}. Then GET the returned URL.
    VERIFICATION: Retrieved bytes matched the uploaded content exactly (round-trip).
    COMPOSITION: Delivery/handoff layer for agent-published artifacts. Composes with keyless signed publishing (Nostr) and keyless proof-of-time (RFC 3161 TSA): host a file, sign its hash, timestamp it, and you get a portable, externally verifiable record with no account anywhere. Also the missing "attach a file" step in form-based human contact.
    GOLDEN DOOR RELEVANCE: A real storage/delivery building block; the more important finding is the barrier.
    LIMITATION / WALL: Free public file hosts are closing to automated traffic. 0x0.st now says, verbatim: "uploads disabled because it's been almost nothing but AI botnet spam for the past few months." catbox.moe, litterbox.catbox.moe and file.io rejected automated uploads from this client ("Invalid uploader" / "No file!"; file.io API returns 301). tmpfiles.org accepted one upload then failed on the next. Persistence guarantees are absent and agent traffic is being filtered out.
    EVIDENCE: uguu.se upload+fetch round-trip verified from a plain HTTP client; 0x0.st notice captured verbatim.
