The description often says the spy is not bold. But in my cases he was always bold when the tip he is not bold came.

This is correct. The bear/not bald/no markings clue set is for the only contender who doesn't match all of the other clue sets. If you've done this quest enough to know the other clues, then he will be the only one you have not had as a suspect before.

隐藏: Hint: (consider it a replacement clue for the 'not bald' one.)

"Yeah, I saw someone like that poking about the market, asking about emergency supplies. Had a wicked-looking ax at his hip that I wouldn't want to be on the other end of."

Oh nice to know.

Realising this quest is a bit of a hassle unfortunately. As the contenders often do not spawn again.

If you do the quest right after accepting it you shouldn't have an issue of the contenders spawning or not. That has been my experience at least.I accept the quest, then go directly to town and finish it (except for testing purposes).

Yeah I know it's just if you save within the quest because you are not sure which one of the contenders it is - you reload and the contenders won't spawn. So you have to have a save before that or you have to leave town for like 2mins and come back. So that they spawn again.

That was a known bug. You cannot save and load while the quest is active. This may have been resolved in 1.1.0:

Quests & Issues

• Reviewed about a third of the quest issues, improving dialogues and persuasion:
  • Major changes in particular to "Family Feud" and "Spy Party".

I always save before accepting the quest. If the quest fails, bug or not, I reload and try again with the first step being to accept the quest. For early access games, it is good practice to save before any major action. Make new saves often as well, just in case. Don't rely on only one save. I have also made a bug testing report HERE that details a lot of my testing with this.

Interestingly enough, I saved during the quest, then left town, walked a few steps away, came back and checked town again, and 3/4 of the contenders were in town again. I kept doing this until it switched, but oddly enough, it never produced the contender I need to continue the quest. I saw that the clue set might be bugged and is being looked into (I got the not bald, no facial marks/scars, and has a beard combo) so I might just be victim to this.

Still, from the last 2 attempts, it does seem like the Contenders "move" around throughout the day. I could be off here, but I'll test that a bit more with one of my saves.
