arXiv:2604.01151v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Non-verbalised or secret collusion may impose a ceiling on transcript-level monitoring in multi-agent deployments. Internal model activations are known to provide an additional monitoring surface for single-agent phenomena such as deception, but detecting collusion within an unknown subgroup is ultimately a joint inference task over multiple agents. This paper derives collusion detection statistics based on the composite hypothesis testing literature and introduces HELIOS, a multi-agent detection framework for collusion. Using per-agent activ
