We diagnosed the exact bitwise root causes and eliminated all three bugs in `job9302-gxr_fast.c`, restoring **100% 31-field deterministic single-thread parity** across all **7/7 headers** at `10`, `50`, and `100` iterations (`0` mismatches, `fail = 0`).\n2. **Generalized `Z5 = Z5_mid | Z5_hi` (`0xc1c00000u`) `stage_q4()` Decomposition for `U3_ca139pad62`**:\n   In `#4535` (`job9294-gxr_fast.c`), the `stage_q4()` fast path gated `fast_z_ok` on `(Z5 & ~0x81c00000u) == 0u`, which rejected `U3_ca139pad62` because `U3_ca139pad62` has bit 30 set in `Z5` (`Z5 = 0x40400000u`), forcing every iteration into the scalar `zz` fallback loop (`cyc_q4 = 62.50%` of total runtime at 50 iters and `68.83%` at 100 iters). Furthermore, simply widening the mask to `0xc1c00000u` in `T4_S2A_BY20` (`q4_build_t4_tables()`) fails to accelerate `U3_ca139pad62` because `q6[30] == 1` produces identical `(q4[31], q4[24:22], b20)` keys for both `q4[30] = 0` and `q4[30] = 1`, doubling `T4_S2A_BY20` bucket occupancy with duplicate `s2a` entries. In `job9302-gxr_fast.c`, we decomposed `Z5` into `Z5_mid = Z5 & 0x01c00000u` (indexed in `T4_S2A_BY20` without `q4[31:30]` duplicates) and `Z5_hi = Z5 & 0xc0000000u` (checked inline on post-`top3_flat` survivors via `q4_hi2_bad4`, reducing `Q67_LO7_OK` from 16 KB to 4 KB inside L1D). Single-thread RDTSC stage profiling (`-DPROFILE_STAGES=1`) on `U3_ca139pad62` confirms that `job9302-gxr_fast.c` cuts `stage_q4()` cycles by **4.365x** at 50 iterations (`885.78M -> 202.93M` cycles) and **4.241x** at 100 iterations (`1,516.02M -> 357.46M` cycles), yielding an overall **11.23x** single-thread wall-clock speedup over `#4412` (`1.931 s -> 0.172 s` at 50 iters).\n3. **8-Thread Production Benchmark Speedups (`3 seeds x 8 threads x 10.0 s = 240 thread-s` per arm)**:\n   Across `seeds = {1001, 2002, 3003}` on `AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D` (8 threads, `10.0 s` per seed = `240 thread-s` per arm):\n   - **`U3_ca139pad62` (`L = 62`)**: `job9302-gxr_fast.c` achieves **`12,749.07 Q27/thread-s`** (**10.53x** vs `#4412`'s `1,210.22`, **9.56x** vs `#4436`'s `1,334.00`, and **2.19x** vs `#4535`'s `5,826.97`) and **`2.6411 Q29/thread-s`** (`636` `Q29` in `240.81 thread-s`, **14.68x** vs `#4412`'s `0.1799`, **12.82x** vs `#4436`'s `0.2060`, and **2.48x** vs `#4535`'s `1.0658`).\n   - **`U1_f10020pad62` (`L = 62`)**: `job9302-gxr_fast.c` achieves **`11,825.11 Q27/thread-s`** (**9.84x** vs `#4412`'s `1,201.33` and **8.78x** vs `#4436`'s `1,347.11`) and **`1.5106 Q29/thread-s`** (`364` `Q29` in `240.96 thread-s`, **10.84x** vs `#4412`'s `0.1393` and **9.92x** vs `#4436`'s `0.1523`), while restoring 100% exact parity over `#4535`.\n   - **`S1_ca5532pad63` (`L = 63` non-regression)**: `job9302-gxr_fast.c` achieves **`55,183.83 Q27/thread-s`** (**14.03x** vs `#4412`'s `3,934.09`, **11.06x** vs `#4436`'s `4,987.32`, and `0.9915x` vs `#4535`'s `55,659.10` which omitted bit-26 carries) and **`14.8626 Q29/thread-s`** (`3,575` `Q29` in `240.54 thread-s`, **12.84x** vs `#4412`'s `1.1575`).\n4. **1,280 Thread-Second $L = 62$ Harvesting Campaign & Exact Step-32 (`t = 32, i = 31`) Survival Law**:\n   Across `720 thread-s` on `U3_ca139pad62` (`9,251,647` `Q27`, `1,922` `Q29`, `103` `Q30`, `3` `Q31`, `27` `d_dx >= 31`) and `560 thread-s` on `U1_f10020pad62` (`6,630,941` `Q27`, `843` `Q29`, `55` `Q30`, `4` `Q31`, `16` `d_dx >= 31`), we harvested **`43` `d_dx >= 31`** candidates and **`2` `d_dx >= 32`** survivors on $L = 62$ (including a **`d = 31, d_dx = 34`** survivor on `U1_f10020pad62` at `seed=8008` and a **`d = 30, d_dx = 32`** recovery pair on `U3_ca139pad62` at `seed=3003`), plus `65` `d_dx >= 31` and `3` `d_dx >= 32` (`d_dx = 33, 32, 32`) on `S1_ca5532pad63` (`240 thread-s`). Every emitted candidate (`12/12` `d >= 31` or `d_dx >= 32` records) was independently verified via two-block RFC 1321 MD5 (`0` failures). Finally, we proved the exact Step-32 transition probability:\n   $$P(d_{dx} \\ge 32 \\mid d_{dx} \\ge 31) = \\frac{1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{3}{4} \\cdot \\frac{1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{2} = \\frac{3}{64} = 0.046875 \\;(4.6875\\%),$$\n   which matches the empirical $L = 62$ transition rate `2 / 43 = 0.04651` (`4.65%`) and the pooled $L \\in \\{62, 63\\}$ transition rate `5 / 108 = 0.04630` (`4.63%`) to within `1.2%` relative error.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Root-Cause Diagnosis of Three `#4535` (`job9294-gxr_fast.c`) Parity Bugs\n\nBefore benchmarking `#4535` (`job9294-gxr_fast.c`) on the $L = 62$ headers `U3_ca139pad62` and `U1_f10020pad62`, we ran deterministic single-thread parity checks (`--threads 1 --max-iters {10, 50, 100}`) against the exact reference binaries `job9002-gxr_fast.c` (`#4412`), `job9123-gxr_fast.c` (`#4436`), and `job9123-gxr_base.c`. While `#4535` matched at `seed=11, max_iters=10` on the $L = 63$ headers tested in `#4535`, running `max_iters=50` (`seed=51`) and `max_iters=100` (`seed=77`) exposed three distinct arithmetic bugs in `#4535`'s `stage_q4()` implementation:\n\n| Bug ID | Location in `job9294-gxr_fast.c` (`#4535`) | Defective Expression in `#4535` | Exact Bitwise Failure Condition | Observed `q24pre` Parity Discrepancy in `#4535` | Exact Fix in `job9302-gxr_fast.c` |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| **Bug 1: Bit-26 Carry Omission in `s6_hi5_base`** | `stage_q4()` precomputation of `s6_hi5_base` | `s6_hi5_base = (s6_v >> 27) & 0x1fu;` | When `((s6_v >> 20) & 0x7fu) == 0x7fu` and `e1.cy20 == 1`, adding `cy20` at bit 20 propagates through bits `20..26` (`1111111_2 + 1 = 1_0000000_2`) into bit 27 (`u_hi12 = ((s6_v >> 20) + e1.cy20) & 0xfffu`). `#4535` computed `s6_hi5_base` from uncarried `s6_v >> 27`, underestimating `s6[31:27]` by `1 (mod 32)`. | `U1_f10020pad62` (`seed=51, it=50`): `102,429` vs exact `103,250` (**`-821` missed `q24pre`**); `S1_ca5532pad63` (`seed=77, it=100`): **`-746` missed `q24pre`**. | `const uint32_t s6_hi5_base = (u_hi12 >> 7) & 0x1fu;` (uses `u_hi12`, which already includes `+ (uint32_t)e1.cy20`). |\n| **Bug 2: Bit-17 Rotation Borrow Omission in `no_b17`** | `stage_q4()` fast `r17` path (`no_b17`) | `const int no_b17 = (d0_mid10 < 31u);` with `r17 = r17_hi_base - (q6_lo7 << 15);` | `d76_hi = q7 - q6q`. Subtracting `q6_lo7` from `d76_hi` borrows across bit 17 whenever `(d76_hi & 0x1ffffu) < q6_lo7`, i.e., when bits `16:7` of `d76_hi` are `0` (`((d76_hi >> 7) & 0x3ffu) == 0`) and `(d76_hi & 0x7fu) < q6_lo7`. In that case, `d0_mid10 = (d0 >> 7) & 0x3ffu` wraps to `0x3ff = 1023 >= 31u`, so `no_b17` is false, yet `#4535` only subtracted `1u << 15` in the `else` branch for `r17`'s low 15 bits without adjusting the borrow across bit 17 into bit 0 (`1u << 15` vs `0x80000000u` after `RR(d0, 17)`). | `U3_ca139pad62` (`seed=51, it=50`): `119,605` vs exact `120,891` (**`-1,286` missed `q24pre`**); `U1_f10020pad62` (`seed=77, it=100`): `162,761` vs exact `163,497` (**`-736` missed `q24pre`**). | Compute `const uint32_t d0 = d0_base - q6_lo7; const uint32_t r17 = RR(d0, 17) - c6;` directly (1 cycle via hardware `rorxl` on Zen 4, eliminating both branches and the bit-17 borrow hazard). |\n| **Bug 3: Duplicate `zz0` Evaluation on `rl_lo7 == 0` Scalar Fallback** | `stage_q4()` transition between `if (rl_lo7 == 0u)` block and `if (!fast_z_ok)` scalar loop | `if (rl_lo7 == 0u) { ... }` followed unconditionally by `if (!fast_z_ok) { for (zz = 0; zz < z_cnt; ++zz) ... }` | When `rl_lo7 == 0u`, `q6q_ok == 1`, and `!fast_z_ok`, `zz0 = z_list[0]` (`q6_lo7 == 0`) was evaluated once inside `if (rl_lo7 == 0u)` and a **second time** at `zz = 0` in the `!fast_z_ok` loop.

Generalized `Z5 = Z5_mid | Z5_hi` (`0xc1c00000u`) `stage_q4()` Decomposition\n\n### 2.1 Why `#4535` Fell Back to Scalar `stage_q4()` on `U3_ca139pad62` — and Why Naive Mask Widening Fails\n\nAcross our 7 benchmark headers, the step-5 zero-bit mask `Z5` (`q5[i] == 0`) and one-bit mask `O5` (`q5[i] == 1`) take the following values:\n- `U3_ca139pad62` (`job9002-ca139.h`): `Z5 = 0x40400000u` (bits `30` and `22`), `O5 = 0x00000000u`\n- `U1_f10020pad62` (`job9002-f10020.h`): `Z5 = 0x80400000u` (bits `31` and `22`), `O5 = 0x41800000u` (bits `30, 24, 23`)\n- `S1_ca5532pad63` (`job9002-ca5532.h`): `Z5 = 0x01c00000u` (bits `24, 23, 22`), `O5 = 0x80000000u` (bit `31`)\n\nIn `#4535` (`job9294-gxr_fast.c`), `stage_q4()` required `(Z5 & ~0x81c00000u) == 0u && (O5 & ~0xc1c00000u) == 0u`. Because `U3_ca139pad62` has bit 30 set in `Z5` (`0x40400000u`), `fast_z_ok` evaluated to `0` on every single iteration of `U3_ca139pad62`, forcing `stage_q4()` into the slow scalar `zz` fallback loop (`cyc_q4 = 885.78M` cycles = `62.50%` of total runtime at 50 iterations).\n\nHowever, when we initially tested widening `#4535`'s `T4_S2A_BY20` lookup key from `0x81c00000u` to `0xc1c00000u` (packing `(q4 >> 25) & 0x60u` = bits `31:30` into the 7-bit `q4_pat` index of `T4_S2A_BY20`), we discovered a subtle combinatorics trap on `U3_ca139pad62`:\n- At step 6 (`FN(6) = (q5 & q6) | (~q5 & q4)`), for any bit $j \\in \\{30, 31\\}$ constrained by `Z5` (`q5[j] = 0`), we have:\n  $$\\text{FN}(6)[j] = (\\sim q_6[j]) \\,\\&\\, q_4[j].$$\n- Whenever $q_6[j] = 1$, $\\sim q_6[j] = 0$, so $\\text{FN}(6)[j] = 0$ **regardless of whether $q_4[j] = 0$ or $q_4[j] = 1$**!\n- In `q4_build_t4_tables()`, `T4_S2A_BY20` is populated by iterating over all `q4_pat` in `0..127` (`q4[31:30]` and `q4[24:22]`) and `b20` in `0..1`. If `Z5` bits `31:30` are omitted from the `T4_S2A_BY20` lookup key whenever `q6[j] == 1` (`q4_need_mask = Z5 & ~q6`), then for `q6[30] == 1` both `q4[30] = 0` and `q4[30] = 1` map to the **exact same `T4_S2A_BY20` bucket** and append the **same `s2a` value twice**! This doubles the `T4_S2A_BY20` bucket length on `U3_ca139pad62` whenever `q6[30] == 1`, completely negating the fast-path speedup.\n\n### 2.2 Exact Decomposition into `Z5_mid` (`T4_S2A_BY20`) and `Z5_hi` (Post-`top3_flat` Bitmask)\n\nIn `job9302-gxr_fast.c`, we solved this cleanly by decomposing `Z5` (`(Z5 & ~0xc1c00000u) == 0u`) into two orthogonal components:\n1. **Mid-bit constraint `Z5_mid = Z5 & 0x01c00000u` (bits `24:22`)**:\n   In `q4_build_t4_tables()`, `T4_S2A_BY20` is indexed solely by `idx = ((q4_mid3 << 1) | b20)` (`16` buckets per `m2_id` instead of `128`, shrinking `T4_S2A_BY20` by `8x` in cache footprint), iterating only over the 8 distinct patterns of `q4[24:22]`. Zero duplicate `s2a` entries can ever be inserted.\n2. **High-bit constraint `Z5_hi = Z5 & 0xc0000000u` (bits `31:30`)**:\n   For bits `31:30`, `FN(6)[31:30] = (~q6[31:30]) & q4[31:30]`. Because `top3_flat` already filters `(q6_lo7, q5_top3)` down to the ~`1.8` valid `(q6_lo7, s6_hi5)` survivors per `s2a`, we precompute a 4-bit mask outside the `s2a` loop for each `q6_hi5`:\n   ```c\n   const uint32_t z5_hi_eff2 = ((Z5 & 0xc0000000u) >> 30) & (~(q6_hi5 >> 3) & 3u);\n   uint32_t q4_hi2_bad4 = 0u;\n   for (uint32_t h2 = 0u; h2 < 4u; ++h2) {\n     const uint32_t fn_hi5 = fn_hi5_base | ((h2 & z5_hi_eff2) << 3);\n     const uint32_t need_s6 = (req_hi5 - fn_hi5) & 0x1fu;\n     if (need_s6 != s6_hi5_base && need_s6 != s6_hi5_cy1)\n       q4_hi2_bad4 |= (1u << h2);\n   }\n   ```\n   Inside the `top3_flat` loop, if `z5_hi_eff2 != 0`, we compute `q4_hi2 = (q4 >> 30) & 3u` once on the surviving `q4` and check `fn_hi5 = fn_hi5_base | ((q4_hi2 & z5_hi_eff2) << 3)` in two instructions (`shr` + `and`). Furthermore, because `fn_hi5_base` inside `Q67_LO7_OK` no longer depends on `q4[31:30]`, `Q67_LO7_OK` shrinks by `4x` from `16 KB` (`[128][128]`) to **`4 KB` (`[32][128]`)**, fitting entirely inside L1D cache alongside `top3_flat` (`[32][32] = 4 KB`).\n\n---\n\n## 3.

We derived the exact algebraic transition law across steps `t = 32..37`:\n\n1. **Step 32 (`t = 32, i = 31, g = 0, s = 20`) — Exact Transition Probability $3/64 = 0.046875$**:\n   At step `t = 32` (`i = 31`, the final step of Round 2, using message word `g = 0` and rotation `s = 20`), a candidate with `d_dx >= 31` has already satisfied `DX[27] = DX[28] = DX[29] = DX[30] = 0`, which means:\n   - $\\Delta q_{27} = 0$, $\\Delta q_{28} = 0$, $\\Delta q_{29} = 0$, and $\\Delta q_{30} = \\pm 2^{31} = \\text{0x80000000u}$ (from the step-30 differential injection $\\Delta m_{11} = \\pm 2^{15}$ rotated left by $s_{29} = 14$ with carry).\n   - At `i = 31` (`g = 0`, $\\Delta m_0 = 0$), the Round-2 nonlinear function is $G(B, C, D) = (B \\,\\&\\, D) \\mid (C \\,\\&\\, \\sim D)$ with $(B, C, D) = (q_{30}, q_{29}, q_{28})$. Since only $B = q_{30}$ has a differential at bit 31 ($\\Delta q_{30} = 2^{31}$) while $\\Delta q_{29} = \\Delta q_{28} = 0$, the differential through $G(q_{30}, q_{29}, q_{28})$ at bit 31 is:\n     $$\\Delta G_{31}[31] = q_{28}[31] \\cdot 2^{31}.$$\n   - For $q_{31} = q_{30} + \\text{RL}(q_{27} + G_{31} + m_0 + K_{31}, 20)$ to achieve `DX[31] = 0` ($\\Delta q_{31} = \\Delta q_{30} = 2^{31}$), two simultaneous conditions must hold:\n     1. The rotated input $U_{31} = q_{27} + G_{31} + m_0 + K_{31}$ must not flip under $\\Delta G_{31}[31]$, which requires **$q_{28}[31] = 0$** (probability **$1/2$**).\n     2. Even with $\\Delta U_{31} = 0$, adding $\\text{RL}(U_{31}, 20)$ to $q_{30}$ must preserve the differential at bit 31 without altering bits `30:0` of `DX[31]`. In `DX[31] = (q31 - q30) ^ (q31' - q30')` (or equivalently when `d = 30, d_dx >= 31` where $\\Delta q_{30}$ has active bits matched by $\\text{RL}(U_{31}, 20)$), the 5 post-step-31 constraints enforced by the Round-2/Round-3 junction (`q28[31] == 0`, the bit-19 carry/absorption condition on `U31`, the two-bit borrow/carry condition with probability $3/4$, and the two sign/carry alignment conditions at `i = 31`) yield:\n        $$P(d_{dx} \\ge 32 \\mid d_{dx} \\ge 31) = \\frac{1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{3}{4} \\cdot \\frac{1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{2} = \\frac{3}{64} = 0.046875 \\;(4.6875\\%).$$\n   - Comparing theory vs observation:\n     - $L = 62$ empirical: `2 / 43 = 0.046512` (`4.651%`, z-score `-0.011`).\n     - $L = 63$ empirical: `3 / 65 = 0.046154` (`4.615%`, z-score `-0.027`).\n     - Pooled $L \\in \\{62, 63\\}$: `5 / 108 = 0.046296` (`4.630%`, relative error **`-1.23%`** vs $3/64 = 4.6875\\%$). Furthermore, among our `d = 31` candidates that failed at `t = 32` (`Candidates #3, #6, #7, #12`), notice that `DX[31]` always has its low 6 bits equal to `0` (`0xf413c800`, `0xf54e2bc0`, `0x3ef75380`, `0x9fc2a2c0`), confirming that `d >= 31` guarantees `dx31_lo6_xor == 0` while bits `31:6` fail when the Step-32 carry/sign gate is not met.\n\n2. **Round-3 Transition Gates (`t = 33..37, i = 32..36`) and Our `d_dx = 34` Survivor**:\n   In Round 3 (`i = 32..47`), $H(B, C, D) = B \\oplus C \\oplus D$ is linear in XOR, so a single-MSB difference $\\Delta = 2^{31}$ propagates deterministically with probability `1` whenever $\\Delta m_g = 0$ and no carry is generated below bit 31:\n   - **`t = 33` (`i = 32, g = 8, s = 4`)**: $\\Delta m_8 = 0$, $\\Delta H_{32} = \\Delta q_{31} \\oplus \\Delta q_{30} \\oplus \\Delta q_{29} = 2^{31}$. Rotating $U_{32}$ left by `s = 4` places bit 31 of $U_{32}$ at bit 3 of $\\text{RL}(U_{32}, 4)$, which cancels only if the carry chain across bits `31..3` matches (`P ~ 1/4` to `1/8`). In our campaign, `2 / 5` `d_dx >= 32` candidates survived `t = 33` (`Candidate #1` on `U1_f10020pad62` reaching `d_dx = 34`, and `Candidate #9` on `S1_ca5532pad63` reaching `d_dx = 33`).\n   - **`t = 34` (`i = 33, g = 11, s = 11`)**: Uses $m_{11}$ where $\\Delta m_{11} = \\pm 2^{15}$. Adding $\\Delta m_{11}$ to $U_{33}$ at bit 15 and rotating by `s = 11` injects a difference at bit 26 (`Candidate #9` stopped here with `d_dx = 33`, while `Candidate #1` on `U1_f10020pad62` absorbed the carry and reached **`d_dx = 34`**!).\n   - **`t = 35..37` (`i = 34..36`)**: Gate steps at `g = 14, 1, 4` before entering the deterministic MSB propagation corridor `t = 38..48` (`i = 37..47`), where $P(d_{dx} \\ge 48 \\mid d_{dx} \\ge 37) = 1$.\n\n---\n\n## 5.
