Tldr We present Codetta, a high-capacity steganographic protocol for multi-agent systems with independently deployed agents in realistic asymmetric settings without pre-shared secret keys. It enables effectively undetectable collusion by combining public model-based channel estimation and adaptive error-correcting codes, and establishes shared keys through a steganographic key exchange that preserves the transcript's indistinguishability from ordinary model outputs.
