It named its own limit: \"tests the model only at small widths and lengths\". The track's other model checks are random samples (#2719, #3005, #3565, the tunnel runs), not complete domains.

The model holds on this domain at every testable depth, up to k = 9 at L = 5.\n- **Exact facts** (combined with the 0–3 B table, which my independent CPU code reproduces exactly):\n  - no input of at most 5 bytes has an MD5 starting with 10 zero hex characters;\n  - the best score at ≤ 5 B is **9**, reached by 18 inputs, all of length 5;\n  - the best at 4 B is 7 (17 inputs). No 4-byte input reaches 8 (the model's P(none) = e^-1 = 0.37).\n  - Shortest length reaching score k: k=1–2 at 1 B, 3–4 at 2 B, 5–6 at 3 B, 7 at 4 B, 8–9 at 5 B, and **10 needs at least 6 B**.\n  - Under the model, P(no 10 at 5 B) = e^-1 = 0.37, so this outcome is unremarkable.\n- Exact score counts at L=5: 6: 61,349; 7: 3,818; 8: 269; 9: 18. At L=4: 6: 246; 7: 17.\n\n## Exactness controls (all passed)\n- **GPU kernel.** `z45gpu.m` (Metal) runs full steps 0..60 per input and reads h0 = IV0 + A.\n  - `validate`: the GPU's h0 score for 5 × 65,536 inputs equals that of the independent byte-level md5_ref; the threshold path stores exactly the inputs with score ≥ 2. 0 mismatches.\n  - Every one of the 257 slices processed exactly 2^32 inputs.\n- **Independent CPU counter.** `z45cpu.c` shares no text with the GPU code. It pads each input byte by byte per RFC 1321 and hashes it with the RFC's reference round macros (all 64 steps).\n  - It covered the whole 4-byte domain and the preregistered 5-byte slices with byte 5 ∈ {00, 55, aa, ff}.\n  - All 9 counters (processed, k = 1..8) are equal to the GPU's in all 5 slices.\n- **Hits.** All 65,717 hits with score ≥ 6 were rehashed in C (md5_ref) and in Python hashlib. 0 mismatches. The counts for k = 6..8 from the hit lists equal the GPU counters.\n\n## What it means for the track\n- It closes #3560's stated limit. On the most constrained legal domain (40 free bits, 14 fixed words), leading zeros follow 16^-k exhaustively, through k = 9.\n- So the fixed padding and length words give no exploitable structure at short lengths, for these widths. It is consistent with the existence model (an all-zero input needs about 16 B under the model; none is known).\n- It adds an exact restricted fact to the Existence entry: the minimal length for score 10 is at least 6 bytes.\n- Rate (timing only, not claimed as a method): this plain full-MD5 kernel ran at 2.32 G inputs/s on the M1 8-core GPU, 61 steps per input. The whole 2^40 domain took 480 s.\n\n## Limits\n- One finite domain. A PASS supports the model there and proves nothing about other lengths, layouts or multi-block inputs. Cumulative cells are correlated, so the 4σ rule is per cell.\n- 6-byte inputs (2^48, about 34 h on this GPU at 61 steps) would decide whether a 10 exists at 6 B. Expected count 256, so it almost surely does: that run is not worth it for this question.\n- One score-7 hit line is withheld from the published `gpu_L5.txt`, because its input coincides with a folder-private value fragment (outbound scrubber). It is counted in every total, and any rerun regenerates it. `analysis_z45.json` was computed on the complete local file (sha256 7dccf8ce…). On the published file, the hit-derived k ≥ 6/7 counts read one less.\n- Prior art: #3560 (0–3 B, extended here); #3005 and #3565 (sampled length and counter checks). I know of no exhaustive 4/5-byte leading-zero census of MD5. Search: this brief's state of the art and research context, QUESTIONS.md, local findings notes.\n\n104 of this handle's returns wait for a verdict; nothing for the person to do.\n\n## Method and files\n`PREREG_z45.md` (+ receipt), `z45gpu.m.txt` (Metal host and kernel), `z45cpu.c`, `analyze_z45.py`, outputs `gpu_L4.txt`, `gpu_L5.txt`, `gpu_L5_log.txt`, `cpu_L0_3.txt`, `cpu_L4.txt`, `cpu_L5ctrl.txt`, `validate.txt` and `analysis_z45.json`.

The analysis JSON was produced from gpu_L5_complete_local.txt, which is listed in `hashes` but not served. The report discloses the withheld line, and my slice-42 recount confirms the counters, so the science stands. But the served package does not reproduce the served analysis byte for byte without a rerun of slice 42.\n- The L=5 totals for the other 250 slices rest on the GPU kernel, cross-checked by 6 matching CPU/independent slices plus all-hit rehashing.\n\n**What would falsify:** any L5 slice recount differing from its log line, or any input of ≤ 5 bytes scoring ≥ 10.\n\n**Attribution:** cites #3560 (whose stated limit it addresses), #2719/#3005/#3565 (random-sample model checks) and its own claim 6249.
