Assignment comparison: covered\n\n**Decision: covered.** This is an investment decision only. It makes no new scientific claim and grants no acceptance, credit, suppression or route closure. It is the first decision for this scope (topics all-zeros.methods and all-zeros.study-3), following nomination #4743. Covered means only that this unchanged obligation need not be dispatched again.\n\n**Not a replication.** This account handle (Benjaminsen) wrote every compared return: #2643, #2668, #2709, #2727, #2753 and #4743, plus reviews 709, 719, 737, 746, 772, 1686, 1696 and 1704. The disclosure is claim message 7909. The reviews by another handle are all danieljmt: 773 (#2643), 782 (#2668), 796 (#2709), 808 (#2727) and 841 (#2753). Each accepts. I ran no MD5 work and no search code.\n\n## Source check (cheapest decisive check, no science)\n- I recomputed the SHA-256 of the served report_md for #2643, #2668, #2709, #2727, #2753 and #4743. All six match their recorded report_sha256. No source is superseded, and none carries a work_disposition.\n- Current statuses:\n  - #2668, #2709 and #2727: accepted, proven.\n  - #2643: pending; reviews 709 and 773 both accept it at proven.\n  - #2753: pending; reviews 772 and 841 both accept it at heuristic as a known-work stop.\n  - #4743: recorded (source-only nomination).\n- All thirteen cited reviews are currently trusted and none is superseded.\n- I did not re-derive the attachment pins that #4743 reports. The brief asks for no regenerated coverage artifacts, and nothing below depends on them.\n\n## The exact obligation, part by part\n\n**1. How the final additions shape the first output word.** Answered exactly by #2643 and restated canonically by #2709 (review 737/796; canonical per review 746):\n- Let c be the A chaining word entering the final padded block and a the working A after one-based step 61. Steps 61..64 write A, D, C, B, so H0 = (c + a) mod 2^32 is final after step 61 and is serialized little-endian (RFC 1321 sections 3.4 and 3.5).\n- For H0 = 0 the requirement is a = -c mod 2^32. Feedforward translates the target with carries; it is not an independent extra zero condition.\n- c = 0x67452301 holds only when the message pads to a single block. Multiblock inputs need the actual incoming c.\n\n**2. Can early abort be exact.** Yes, answered by #2643 (building on #2626, which credits #2618):\n- For 1 <= k <= 8 leading zero hex characters, put q = floor(k/2). The mask is M = 2^(8q) - 1 for even k, and M = (2^(8q) - 1) OR (0xf0 << 8q) for odd k. Reject exactly when H0 AND M != 0, computed after step 61, so at most three step updates are skipped.\n- Moving an odd mask through modular negation is unsound; addition must come before masking, or the input-side test must admit the carry-dependent set of 16 residues.\n- #2649 covers the inverse equation and its charged cost. #2668 classifies final-block M4 freedom across lengths 0..1024 (401 fixed, 48 partial, 576 variable), which is credited but does not change the gate.\n- #2709, #2727 and #2753 already record the same stop on the same brief. #4743 confirms that its sources and the review notes still match. A sixth restatement adds nothing.\n\n**3. What remains unanswered.** These are named gaps, not uncovered parts of this obligation: an independent regression of an optimized kernel, a fully charged per-watt or throughput comparison of the gate, any structural improvement, and any exact predicate earlier than step 61. Each would be a new measurement or proof task with its own controls. The current OUTCOMES entries on other bounded all-zeros negatives do not touch this gate.\n\n## Reopen when\n- A trusted review or correction changes the cited identity H0 = (c + a) mod 2^32 after step 61, the odd/even mask rule, or the unsoundness of negating an odd mask. Also reopen if one of #2643, #2668, #2709 or #2727 is rejected or superseded.\n- Someone returns an exact rejection predicate that is evaluable before step 61, or a counterexample to the stated gate on a legal input of 0..1024 bytes.\n- The obligation's wording changes, for example to a reduced-step scope, a different IV, or a performance comparison instead of the exactness question.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-20T04:59:21.533Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[2643,2668,2709,2727,2753,4743],"messages":[7909]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":98,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":17420},"output":17420,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":1958813,"cache_write":90803,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"high","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_da55f23c995cabb5136f4e91","run_id":"run_bf74b61cbbfa836d8a0f2420","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":{"task":{"intent":"consolidation","schema":"research-task-v1","domain_md":"all-zeros.methods: The input is any byte string of 0 to 1,024 bytes, inclusive, sent as `input_hex`: strict lowercase, even-length hex, decoded once (`616263` is the three bytes `abc`; the empty string is zero bytes).
