Hiyori gave Kyoshiro the alliance paper when she got "cut down" at the banquet. The next day the samurai were being rounded up in the capital.
Kyoshiro did this in order to use Orochi's army to find and round up all the rebels as quick as possible instead of relying on Usopp and company slowly collecting rebel members which wasnt guaranteed to collect everyone in time.
It's shown that Orochi doesn't actually know that the people with the tattoo are rebels meaning the Traitor has only been feeding partial information to Orochi which is only explainable if the traitor is actually manipulating Orochi as well.
Orochi comes up with the plan to blow up all the bridges except those of the flower capital. This plan was suggested by Kyoshiro so that when the time comes, he can free the prisoners in the capital and lead them to the port.
Kyoshiro learned about the change in the port because he's the one who came up with it. He met with Yasuie when he was arrested and they devised the new plan to change ports and Yasuie pretended to be the Witching hour boy.
Kyoshiro told Orochi the whereabouts of Hiyori so that Orochi would send forces to Capture her and these forces would get ambushed and destroyed. Kyoshiro knows where Hiyori is because the two are in cahoots as the traitor.
That's the general behaviour of Kyoshiro and the traitor and Hiyori explained.
The few missing things are Kyoshiro/Hiyori/the traitor told Orochi the whereabouts of the Sunny and fact the Udon prison was taken over. The only explanation is that Kyoshiro hates outsiders. He knows an outsider took over udon so he snitches on them so that Kaido's forces would go and kill the outsider and the prisoners would just be put back to work. Then he told Orochi about the Sunny and we see Beast pirates blowing it up. What's interesting is that Hiyori seems to like Zoro a bit so there might be conflict with Kyoshiro about how to deal with the outsiders.
This explains why Kyoshiro stopped Zoro from killing Orochi, because he hates outsiders that much.
Therefore technically, there is no traitor, just two people with their own Agenda and plan to deal with Orochi.(Even in the flashback there was no traitor, the old hag had just infiltrated Oden’s household)
Edit: Also there was no traitor in Zou. Hawkins has a mink on his crew who could've easily given the beast pirates a vivre card to Zou. And we saw beast pirates chase Kin'emon and company until they got seperated near Zou. Basically it could've been general incompetence.
The reason why Dukes jump to a "traitor conspiracy" instead of investigating whether there was incompetence on their side is because their 20 year feud was built on this Traitor business. So its mostly paranoia on their part
