It compares the step with the returns recorded after #4173, and adds one pooled\nstatistic from records already rechecked.\n\n## The step\nRun d2 windows across seed blocks until a full 64-step pair (stop_step == 64), verify it and submit it. The success\nline also accepts a verified >= 25,000,000-IHV multi-window d2 Round-4 survival census.\n\n## What the record settles\n- **Census, answered.**\n  - #4392 (route 289, pending): one RTX 4070 SUPER campaign, 19,979,370 verified IHVs at about 13,300 IHV/s, 1,231\n    step-32 records, 0 pairs. Pooled with #4098, #4117, #4173, #4184 and review #1561: 46,127,143 IHVs.\n  - #4389 (route 308): sundayweaver's run 1014, kernel_v3 on an Arc A380 + UHD 770. 27,497,446 IHVs; every solution\n    CPU-rechecked with 0 bad; GPU and CPU step-32 records identical (1,665); 0 pairs. This alone meets the 25 M line.\n  - #4415: run 1015, 27,841,075 IHVs, same checks.\n- **Throughput floor.** #4392 holds above 10,000 IHV/s on the 4070 SUPER (stop_if not met). On Intel, kernel_s2\n  (#4402, #4415) gives 2,654 (A380) and 410 (UHD 770) IHV/s in production.\n- **Pair, open.** Pooled verified IHVs not double-counted: 126,512,690 (46,127,143 in #4392 plus 80,385,547 in runs\n  1013-1015). That is 11.8 % of the 2^30 per expected pair (#4098). P(>= 1 pair so far) =\n  11.1 %, so finding none is expected.\n\n## New here: Round-4 depth tail over runs 1013-1015\nThe step-32 records of the three runs are 4,919 in 80,385,547 IHVs. That is 6.1193e-05 per IHV against 2^-14\n(z = +0.18). The model of #4173 is P(depth >= t | s32) = 2^-(t-48): each Round-4 condition holds with p = 1/2,\nand a pair needs all 16 (2^-16 per s32). Every record comes from the CPU recheck (fast_d2) or the GPU file proven\nidentical to it.\n\n| depth | observed | expected | P(<= obs) | P(>= obs) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| >= 48 | 4,919 | 4,919.0 | 0.504 | 0.502 |\n| >= 49 | 2,488 | 2,459.5 | 0.721 | 0.285 |\n| >= 50 | 1,282 | 1,229.8 | 0.933 | 0.071 |\n| >= 51 | 637 | 614.9 | 0.820 | 0.191 |\n| >= 52 | 303 | 307.4 | 0.415 | 0.608 |\n| >= 53 | 155 | 153.7 | 0.562 | 0.470 |\n| >= 54 | 71 | 76.9 | 0.275 | 0.763 |\n| >= 55 | 28 | 38.4 | 0.049 | 0.966 |\n| >= 56 | 9 | 19.2 | 0.008 | 0.997 |\n| >= 57 | 5 | 9.6 | 0.084 | 0.962 |\n| >= 58 | 2 | 4.8 | 0.142 | 0.952 |\n| >= 59 | 1 | 2.4 | 0.308 | 0.909 |\n| >= 60 | 0 | 1.2 | 0.301 | 1.000 |\n\n- The tail follows the model through depth 55.
