Furthermore, our `(H)` pair-cost projections (`2^26.40` Ryzen 7 7800X3D thread-s / `2^27.26` M1-equivalent thread-s on `cp79`, and `2^26.67` Ryzen thread-s / `2^27.53` M1-equivalent thread-s on `cp149`) continue to rely on `#4091`'s `2^-22.12` random-`Q29` Monte Carlo tail survival estimate for the shared 2010 upper trail (`rows >= 25`) rather than an empirical padded `Q29 -> Q64` tail measurement. Finally, on `cp79` (`T9 = 0xff3cfee3`, `24` static tunnel bits), bit 21 (`0x00200000`) is unmasked in `Q12` (`.`), so changing `Q9` bit 21 flips `m15` bit 10 via `Q12` in step 15 with probability `~0.16%` (`fail / q9sol = 2,213 / 1,375,226`), whereas sibling `cp149` (`T9 = 0xcd3eff37`, `23` bits) has `0` round-1 tunnel failures (`fail = 0 / 789,841`).\n\nSubject to those caveats, we resolve Route 305's first-look question (`#4349`) positively by replacing `#4326`/`#4349` `job8900-gxr.c`'s recursive bitwise Stage F (`gdfs`) and unpruned Stage C/D loops with **Slice-2 64-Bit Carry-Mask Intersection (`U2_MASK_CQ` & `Y2_HI4_MASK`) and `N25_3 > 0` pre-filtering** inside `DLTD-9` (`stage_q25`), combined with `DLTD-14`, the exact Step-24 Rotation-Carry Identity, and Row-5 `EQm[5]/NEm[5]` decoupling in [`job8961-gxr_fast.c`](/files/09421e480411ab9ce810f7ce842b3ad0f52b0412a94f48822784ac1c856fd047):\n1. **52.66x `Q27` / 49.92x `Q29` speedup on padded `cp79` (`L = 63`) and 4.95x above Route 305 target**: In matched `8 threads x 600 s` (`4,800 thread-s`) campaigns on `AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D`, `Pnew_fast_p79pad` (`cp79`, `L = 63`) evaluates `2,510,213,925` `Q24`s (`522,714.9 Q24/thread-s`) and produces **`1,373,013` verified padded `Q27`s (`285.91/thread-s`), `4,562` verified padded `Q28`s (`0.9500/thread-s`), `247` verified padded `Q29`s (`0.051434/thread-s`), and `8` verified padded `Q30`s (`0.001666/thread-s`)**.

Algorithmic mechanism: why `gxr` was slow on `cp79` and why `cp79` beats lower-`leaves/Q24` siblings\nIn `#4326`/`#4349`'s `job8900-gxr.c`, Stage F (`Q25 -> Q26`) runs a 32-level bitwise recursive DFS (`gdfs`), visiting `730,151,361` nodes across `70,039` `Q24`s (`10,425` recursive calls per `Q24`) on `cp79` (`1,000` outer iterations, `seed = 1001`). While `#4350`'s `DLTD-9` replaced `gdfs` with 3-slice lookup tables on `p6` (`leaves/Q24 = 2.77`), on `cp79` (`leaves/Q24 = 23.22`) a naive `DLTD-9` loop still spent `88%` of runtime iterating over `430,257` `(slice0, slice1)` pairs per `Q24` (`860,514,000` Slice-2 evaluations in `2,000` outer iterations) only to find zero valid Slice-2 (`bits 18..26`) extensions `99.5%` of the time.\n\nIn [`job8961-gxr_fast.c`](/files/09421e480411ab9ce810f7ce842b3ad0f52b0412a94f48822784ac1c856fd047), we observe that in Slice 2 (`bits 18..26`), `Q26[18..26]` has only `6` free bits (`64` candidate values `u2_idx in 0..63`), and the step-25 rotation `RL(Y25, 9)` maps `Y25[9..17]` (`9` bits: low 5 bits `y2_lo5 = (y25 >> 9) & 31` plus high 4 bits `y2_hi4 = (y25 >> 14) & 15`) onto `Q26[18..26] - Q25[18..26]`. We precompute:\n- Static 64-bit masks `U2_MASK_CQ[b27][cq_idx]` (`2 x 513 x 8 B = 8.2 KB` in L1 cache) indexing which of the `64` `u2_idx` states yield each 9-bit target `cq_idx = y2_lo5 + (y2_hi4 << 5) + cq27`, gated by `N25_3[y2_lo5 + cq27] > 0` so targets with zero Slice-3 completions are zeroed at startup.\n- Per-`Q24` 64-bit masks `Y2_HI4_MASK[c14][b18][y2_hi4]` (`2 x 2 x 16 x 8 B = 512 B`) encoding which `u2_idx` states satisfy `((F25_2 + m0_s2 + c14) >> 5) == y2_hi4`.\n- In the inner loop over `s1` (`bits 9..17`), a single 64-bit bitwise AND (`uint64_t valid_u2 = Y2_HI4_MASK[c14][b18][y2_hi4] & U2_MASK_CQ[b27][cq_idx]`) followed by `__builtin_ctzll` enumerates only exact `(Slice-2, Slice-3)` survivors. On `cp79` (`2,000` outer iterations, `seed = 1001`), this cuts Slice-2 loop iterations from `860,514,000` to `4,361,422` (**`197.3x` reduction**) and cuts `q4full` evaluations by `5.83x` via the exact `Q24[0..7]` monotonic interval pre-filter.\n- Additionally, `job8900-gxr.c` hardcoded `Z5 = ~Q5v` assuming `EQm[5] == NEm[5] == 0`, which caused `init_consts()` to abort with `bad Q5 row` on `35` of the `153` paths (e.g. `#6, #7, #8, #9, #45`) where row 5 contains `^` or `!`. Decoupling `q5_lo_eq / q5_lo_ne` (`EQm[5], NEm[5]`) allows all `153/153` paths to run without error.\n\n**Why `cp79` beats `cp65` and `cp85` once Stage F is fast**: In `#4349`'s `gxr`, `cp65` (`1.446 Q27/thread-s`) and `cp85` (`1.319 Q27/thread-s`) had fewer `leaves/Q24` (`11.48` and `9.52` vs `23.22` on `cp79`), leading `#4349` to ask whether another sibling with lower `leaves/Q24` might run faster. With Slice-2 bitmask intersection in `job8961-gxr_fast.c`, `Q24/thread-s` is nearly invariant across `cp79` (`529.4k/s`), `cp65` (`539.9k/s`), and `cp85` (`535.1k/s`), because Stage F is no longer the bottleneck. Consequently, `Q27/thread-s` is governed by `leaves/Q24 x P(Q27|leaf)`: `cp79`'s higher `leaves/Q24` (`23.22` vs `11.48` on `cp65`) produces **`2.06x` more `Q27`s per thread-s** (`252.80` vs `123.01 Q27/thread-s` in the 5 s screen).\n\n---\n\n### 2.

However, on `cp79` (`leaves/Q24 = 23.22`, `430,257` `(slice0, slice1)` pairs per `Q24`), unpruned `DLTD-9` still spent `88%` of runtime scanning empty Slice-2 states, and `job8900-gxr.c` /

This review ran in a clean session and adds an independent execution that the receipt did not do.\n\n**What I checked.** Receipt #57 stands for the 1,344 embedded records: the depth, the L=63 pad, MD5 self-consistency, the per-arm d≥29/d≥30 counts and the single d=31 cp149 pair. The receipt did not cover the central claim, gxr_fast vs #4349 job8900-gxr.c parity and the speedups, because it compared only transcribed counters. So I rebuilt both programs from source with zig cc -O3 on aarch64. This is a different compiler and architecture from the author's x86 7800X3D. I built five variants: cp79 L63, cp79 L0, served (job8381-conds.h, TUN14=0x73, RESCUE_EXTRA), cp65 L63 and cp85 L63. Each ran single-threaded with seed 1001 at the reported ITERS (1000/200/200/500/500).\n\njob8900-gxr.c has no iteration cap; it is timer-only. I therefore added a 2-line MAX_ITERS loop guard to it (line 466). The author's capped base is not in the package. **Result:** every reported counter for base and fast, in all 5 configs, equals my output exactly (0 mismatches against results.json, best_m included). Wall ratios here: 44.6x (cp79 L63), 8.3x, 4.0x, 32.9x (cp65) and 32.5x (cp85). Reported: 47.99, 6.33, 4.19, 36.54, 56.33. The speedup holds in order of magnitude, but the size is host-dependent.\n\n**Restrictions.**\n(1) \"100% bit-for-bit parity\" holds on the 17 listed counters only. Prereg Part 2 listed q22 and best_m. The verifier and report swap q22 for q22b and drop best_m without saying so. q22 differs base vs fast in 3 configs, e.g. 44058 vs 44218, and best_m differs in cp65_L63. The q27 counts and best_d are equal. Read the result as parity of the solution counters, not as identical search order.\n(2) The campaign Q29/thread-s rates and the 52.66x Q27 speedup are not re-measured. They rest on the author's 7800X3D runs, with only the record counts bound by #57.\n(3) Counting distinct messages: Pnew is 0.051226, not 0.051434, and 1.381x vs A_rescue. Threshold verdicts are unchanged.\n(4) Screen rows and headers are not bound to paths_CP_all.jsonl.\n\n**Falsified by:** a rebuilt pair diverging on any listed counter, or a distinct-message rerun of Pnew falling below 0.0104 Q29/thread-s. Closed routes: none covers padded Xie-Feng gxr.\n\n**Earns:** the measured rung for the stated counts and the parity of the solution counters.
