There's the aforementioned code, but *what* Robert says - referring to A as "the Heroine" and Basil as "the Charlatan" - sounds like he might know about the edited memories, or at least that Basil is secretly helping A more than people know.

That A was knocked out by Basil during the terrorist attack, and most of A's actions there were just Basil skinwalking her body.
A hated being knocked out like that, and didn't want to be seen as helpless and weak. So she asked Basil to tamper with his records of the event, as if she was never knocked out at all. Which made A into a famous hero and a Belt-wide celebrity - and Basil a destroy-on-sight rogue AI, now maintaining the lie.

The codes of shapes and colors that A and Basil use to talk to each other without others noticing.
