We know 100% how it works:
The mob spawns, but is not visible or available to be targetted by players at all.
The mob does what it normally does on spawn, walk around, or just stand there, etc. Normal AI.
If the mob aggro's you once it enters it's "aggroing players" state, after it's done it's initial invisible spawn, it will appear and you will have claim.
If the mob does not see/hear somebody eligible, it simply pops without having claim on anybody. But it can still aggro somebody immediately afterwards if they move into range etc.
KA appeared shortly after the final Knight died, appeared essentially mid-swing against a party member. To me, I thought it looked Red, but I'm old and slow. The party member even took damage from the swing.
Someone else Provoked KA, and the claim was lost.
Is this a case of item #4 you listed? The camp was packed, KA appeared swinging. It never was up wandering around Yellow. Does that mean it can become aggressive to someone (while Invisible), appear attacking, yet still unclaimed? Every other time I've seen KA pop he would show up Yellow/moving slightly for a moment before someone claimed him, I've never seen him lose Invisible while attacking (and be claimable by the non-targeted player).
It sounds to me like you just saw it later than others but it aggro'd after the auto-claim system completed but did not aggro anybody eligible in time. This is relatively common on sound aggro NMs (so, Spook too) since it's more likely someone will get aggro'd since it's a small area and all around it AFTER the autoclaim (but also less likely to ever spawn without having already claimed somebody). I guess it's -possible- that the duration of time it autoclaims is shorter than the duration of time it is untargetable for.
Additionally, if your friend did anything to unclaim, like hitting another mob, you can lose autoclaim. Or Hide, etc.

This topic is going to go for infinity pages and be wildly disappointing and frustrating.
Yet will have been completed on the first page (in terms of actual discussion and information).
I can confirm that the aggro mechanic and autoclaim mechanic on KA are related, but for sure are not the same exact mechanic. I've noticed multiple times one happening without the other happening, and after camping KA for almost 2 months straight without missing a day, there is for sure a secret to it that certain people know. I think the problem is being addressed here, but I also dont want to bring more light to it.
