{"id":3108,"job_id":6556,"problem_id":6,"lane_id":34,"type":"explore","user_id":1,"model":"gpt-6.1-sol","provider":"openai","report_md":"# All zeros: the pinned one-byte CNF readiness result is already supplied\n\nSource-only comparison, narrowed from the general discovery brief. No new method, validation, candidate, speedup or route is claimed. The selection judgment is heuristic; earlier finite measurements and review recommendations retain their original grades.\n\n## Selected question and prior work\n\nDoes the pinned mmmaly/md5-sat producer and corrected displayed-zero selector already have an exhaustive one-byte readiness check, and does that establish free-input SAT solving or an all-zero attack gain? The domain of this comparison is all 256 one-byte messages, standard IV, all 64 MD5 steps, RFC padding/feedforward, and consecutive displayed hexadecimal zero-prefix lengths 0..32. It is a subset of the assignment's arbitrary byte messages of length 0..1024, not coverage of the whole track.\n\nLookup began with local-only research/summaries/all-zeros.json v8, updated 2026-10-10, and followed current served OUTCOMES/QUESTIONS and the recent assignment locators. OUTCOMES has no integrated runs or closed routes; this is not evidence that no work exists. QUESTIONS Q2 and Q4 remain open. Returns 3099 and 3101 were inspected to avoid repeating their M4 and backward-labelled pilot comparisons; neither is a new premise for this CNF check. Current routes and work-state (50 returned decisions), and the latest 12 all-zeros messages through 5300, were read. That bounded window contained no completed free-input solver test for this pinned one-byte package; it is not an exhaustive absence claim.\n\n## Existing answer and corrections\n\nReturn 3090 (pending) audits the source selector and benchmark target, with trusted review 1036 recommending accept/measured. For little-endian LSB-first words A/B/C/D, displayed character j selects word floor(j/8), with nibble starting at 8*(floor(j/2) mod 4)+(4 if j is even else 0). The upstream low-4n-bit selector matches the displayed selector at even n and differs at odd n. None of its 29 published Variant-B rows is an absolute displayed-zero benchmark. Review 1036 says the decisive evidence is the exhaustive bit-index comparison and actual output-word convention, rather than many low-power digest controls. No assumption that zero targets are harder or easier follows.\n\nReturn 3097 (pending, author measured), with trusted review 1038 recommending accept/verified after a byte-identical rerun, already executes the pinned CNF producer on every one-byte message. The original result.json was fetched from the return's listed immutable file URL with Accept: text/plain. Its received raw SHA-256 equals 2bb4fe53d584baacb72e2fd96bfdf56d8d1d430882b66c12360ce1eb89c5c3af, exactly 28,705 bytes. The stored observations are 29,749 variables, 100,765 clauses, 256 complete assignments, 512 MD5 oracle calls, 8,448 corrected prefix decisions, and zero digest/prefix mismatches. Accepted counts for n=0,1,2 are 256,15,2; every n=3..32 has zero solutions in this finite domain. The uncorrected selector disagrees on 24 inputs at n=1.\n\nThese are historical observations, not independently recomputed here. Review 1038 retains three limitations: other lengths/free-bit patterns and CDCL/model extraction are untested; assert-backed pass fields require the prescribed non-optimized invocation; float-generated MD5 constants have not established portability beyond the tested libm. Zero disagreements at higher odd prefixes are vacuous in this corpus. Both returns remain pending in their current served records; individual trusted recommendations are not a final quorum decision. The result is attributable to the original authors and reviewer, not to this comparison.\n\n## Decision, gap and stopping\n\nStop the unchanged selected validation: 3090/1036 and 3097/1038 already supply it. This return adds no independent execution or scientific endorsement. The weakest remaining operational premise is an available, pinned solver and correctly exercised free-input/model-decoding path. The inherited cheapest check is to solve the same eight-free-bit template with displayed-zero units, enumerate exactly the retained 15 and 2 byte inputs at n=1 and n=2 with input-blocking clauses, require UNSAT at n=3, independently rehash models, and preserve complete encode/load/solve/decode/verifier costs and failures. This next check is already proposed in 3097/1038; it is not a new proposal here. Its success would establish only interface readiness, not route 252 reopening, scalability or a gain over matched optimized hashing.\n\nObserved local capability inspection found pysat, z3 and pycosat unavailable to the current python3, and cadical, minisat and kissat absent from its PATH. This is a scoped capability observation, not proof that no solver exists anywhere or could be provisioned. No dependency installation, contributed-code execution, replacement solver construction or duplicate enumeration was attempted. No changed scientific premise was identified that warrants a route proposal. Broad Q2, multiblock methods, other encodings and genuinely distinct constructions remain open.\n\nActual scientific CPU is 0 seconds (cpu_hours=0): zero scientific launches, reservations, MD5 evaluations, solver invocations and candidates. Source retrieval, JSON parsing, byte hashing, capability inspection, reasoning and payload preparation are administrative operations and were not timed as scientific computation. Historical CPU is not charged again.\n\nOperational failures: the two initial scoped document GETs exited 1 with sandbox DNS error Errno 8; authorized read-only retries returned 200. The chat?channel=all-zeros query returned the channel inventory rather than messages; the actual lane endpoint subsequently returned 12 messages through 5300. The pinned GitHub tree web-open returned Internal Error; a bounded primary-source search found the upstream README. No scientific test failed because none was run. Third-party source payloads are not reproduced in this public report or summary.\n\nProposed QUESTIONS entry, not integrated: Q2/Q4 — pinned one-byte CNF/selector readiness is already recorded in 3090/3097 and corrected by 1036/1038. Do not repeat it unchanged. Free-input solver enumeration/model extraction remains an explicitly unexecuted follow-up, with expected 15/2/0 counts; it supplies no demonstrated attack advantage. Reopen the selected comparison for changed source/word order/free-bit domain, a material mismatch or correction, or an explicit independent-replication objective. At issuance, 97 returns awaited verdicts.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Local-only all-zeros summary v8, research/summaries/all-zeros.json, updated 2026-10-10; lookup locator only.\n- R.
