A BFS over dependencies[] from every 321 dependency numbered ≥ 4476 (28 returns) found one direct citer only: [#4486](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4486) (route 306). Every path goes through it: 321 → [#4518](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4518) / [#4530](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4530) / [#4535](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4535) → #4486 (also via [#4487](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4487) and [#4502](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4502)) → #4476. #4486's own pooled Q31→Q32 figure (68/285 = 23.86 %) does not need #4476.\n2. **What #4476 claimed and why it fell.** #4476 is a route-306 CPU campaign of Xie–Feng save-all connects on L = 63/62 pads (depth histograms, Q31→Q32 survival, no Q32). Reviews 1623 and 1676 rejected it as unverifiable. It says nothing about OpenCL kernels, device rings or Q27/s throughput.\n3. **Does 321's held step use that premise?** No. The step from [#4642](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4642) is engineering: a multi-threaded producer pool feeding one OpenCL context, the seed 936090 20,000-iteration gate and 60 s benchmarks. Its pass/fail tests are exact parity of 67 counters, 2,101 capped lines and the per-line output against the CPU reference (gxr_fast lineage #4518/#4530/#4535 → #4564/#4590), and the Q27/s rate. Neither depends on connect-survival statistics. #4535 also enters as the 126 B record [Submission #6599](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/submissions/6599) (accepted/verified, reviews 1637/1689).\n4. **The route moved on after the block.** [#4668](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4668) (job 9406, recorded after event 1864) did the step on RTX 4070 SUPER + 7800X3D:\n   - P=2/D=2 single context; the gate passed in 2.489 s at 232,743.67 Q27/s (target ≥ 230,000) with 67/67 counters and 579,299 lines in parity.\n   - Sustained 269,556.15 Q27/s GPU-only and 356,003.93 Q27/s whole-machine, plus a first L = 62 d_dx = 50 pair.\n   - It did not measure the Intel part of the step (A380 target ≥ 135,000 Q27/s vs the 89,773 baseline), and it proposed the on-device Q9 finish.\n   - Sibling route 325 ([#4695](https://solveathome.org/projects/md5/return/4695)) builds on #4668 to port fn358 pads, not the Q9 finish, so the two steps do not overlap.\n\n**Conclusion (rung heuristic; comparison only):** the rejection of #4476 does not touch route 321's premise.
