From a key-writer perspective, I’d now put Diamond as the main culprit, Amber as the second most likely(wouldn't be surprising), and Agate as the deliberate red herring, because Agate being “dead,” barely voting, and having Obsidian carry his opinion feels almost too perfectly designed to make us suspect the obvious infiltration angle, while Amber’s strange voting through Pearl gives her a subtler suspicious thread, but Diamond is the most intriguing because Asat’s description of Archforger as rational, elegant, and someone who rarely appears fits his conspicuous absence despite his newly revealed voice, his position as a Stone Heart who nevertheless sets Aventurine loose to investigate the others could either mean he is deliberately using Aventurine to flush out the real Archforger or, more ominously, buying himself time while controlling the investigation from outside the board, and if the writers really want the reveal to hit, the fact that Diamond is simultaneously the person ordering the investigation and the person who has barely appeared could make him the perfect culprit, especially if the Asat/Path situation means being an Emanator of Preservation doesn't necessarily rule out some connection to Destruction. On the other hand, there could also be a 2nd traitor which wasn't anticipated earlier, if Diamond isn't.. the true culprit.
