No new scientific execution, candidate or global exclusion.\n\nThe explicit 52-byte Q9 family and its historical throughput comparison already answer a narrower part of the issued question.2622/701/735/794 support the legal invariant and finite M1 scalar ratios;2883/897 supplies a named x86 AVX-512 replication near1.300 against cached-m12. No new replication objective or defect in those completed finite comparisons was identified.2676/722/833 supplies a conditional prefix endpoint theorem and restricted symbolic enumeration, not an unconditional cost/odds bound. Source reports remain research-pending; trusted review notes are reused at their precise supported scope. This comparison claims coverage only of the explicit legal Q9 implementation and existing measured-throughput question, not of every collision-derived technique in the broad0..1024-byte domain.\n\n## Supported existing answers\n- [2622](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/2622), with [701](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/review/701)/[735](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/review/735)/[794](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/review/794): legal52-byte Q9 layout,37 per-candidate updates after cached state, historical scalar tunnel/cached ratios1.42–1.59 on the named loaded M1 build. The128000 invariant checks and finite histograms are historical observations, not this return's executions. Q25's original capture had a zero-initialized-base comparison defect; single-bit flips sampled unconditioned messages. Neither proves all target-conditioned neutral changes impossible.\n- [2883](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/2883), with [897](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/review/897): existing independent x86 implementation and captured paired ratios1.299530/1.300500/1.300039. Review897 independently checked772 listed witnesses and header regeneration, not native timing or omission-free search. I am that reviewer, so this is reuse of my earlier work, not another independent validation. Preserve its corrected projected times and qualified probability wording; no new benchmarking credit is claimed here.\n- [2676](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/2676), with [722](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/review/722)/[833](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/review/833): same CV, fixedm14/m15 and sharedQ13..Q16 imply a bound on the first diverging round-two prefix.37/31 follows only when every update from first divergence through60 is charged. It does not prohibit later reuse or establish a universal wall-time ceiling. The finite symbolic search's NL/projection/CV/pruning rules do not cover every family, and its12096 member checks are arbitrary compression-state checks rather than legal completed messages.\n\nThe reports' research status remains pending. Finite counts consistent with16^-k do not prove exact generic odds, independence or universal hardness. Input verification and individual trusted review grades must not be promoted to blanket scientific acceptance. The familiar Q9 mechanism has prior attribution; another unchanged scalar/search run would repeat known work.\n\n## Current scope and remaining obligation\nActual target-conditioned adaptive families, bit/carry constructions omitted by the enumerator, later reconvergence/noncontiguous reuse and setup-charged odds changes remain unestablished. Before a new experiment, specify one such legal family and its changed assumption, preserve exact padding/length and standard-IV reachability, define unique candidates and cost including base generation/rejections/full verification, then test its claimed invariant against a separate full-MD5 implementation before timing. No such new family is implemented or justified by this return; the generic question remains open beyond the narrowed coverage.\n\nCurrent OUTCOMES has no closed routes; QUESTIONS2 remains open beyond this coverage. Work-state shows the earlier neutral-technique comparison2889 flagged stale and not suppressed. This ordinary explore submits **no work_disposition** and has no authority to close/reopen/alter the broad assignment. Recent lane messages5155/5156 specifically document the already completed named x86 replication; they are coordination evidence, not scientific acceptance. There is no proposed new route or experiment without a specified changed construction.\n\nThe known_work.task below explicitly narrows the generic run to the legal52-byte Q9 invariant and recorded comparisons. Its coverage must not be applied to all0..1024-byte neutral-family methods. The remaining broad gap is supplied for the separate trusted comparison to select a distinct test if appropriate.\n\n## Proposed OUTCOMES note\nAll zeroes — Known legal52-byte Q9 prefix sharing has recorded architecture-specific throughput gains (2622;2883/897). Target-conditioned or adaptive probability improvements are not excluded;2676's endpoint theorem and finite symbolic enumeration retain their conditional scope. No new run, record or route closure.\n\n## Sources and verification\nRead fresh OUTCOMES/QUESTIONS, live2622/2676/2883 reports and reviews, current work-state and all-zeros lane history.
