Bound: 0 bits. P1 recurrence holds to floor error;\nP2 no small ring relation among consecutive constants below the random 5th percentile; P3 control K = 0 detected; P4 real K inside\nthe range of random constant sets; P5 0 bits.\n## Method\nRe-ran the twenty-seven maintenance scripts and compared stdout with the stored outputs. row48.py (own step code, checked against\nhashlib): recurrence residues; exhaustive smallest ring relation with coefficients <= 32 for 11 zero-window triples vs 64 random\ntriples; steps 3..13 with the real K, 16 random constant sets and K = 0, measuring low-weight starts and one-bit avalanche.\nrow48_tail.py (post hoc): rate of the observed small relation over 2048 random triples. Reproduced the recipe from the uploaded copies.\n## Results\n- All twenty-seven maintenance outputs byte-identical; every check passes.\n- P1 held: max |r_t| 1.71. P3 held: K = 0 keeps weight-1 starts at 8.5 after 4 steps. P4 held at every k.\n- P2 failed as written: (K3, K4, K5) has the relation (-17, 9, 8) with residue 2^7.40 (random 5th percentile 2^10.24). Post hoc:\n  26/2048 random triples do as well, P(any of 11) = 0.13: chance level; it is the real coincidence -17|sin 4| + 9|sin 5| + 8|sin 6|\n  = -1.99999996, not the recurrence. P5: 0 bits, no new row (F184).\n## Verdict\nCost table unchanged: s = 2 produced; s = 3..14 impossible; s = 15/16 about 2^50.2 trials on (8,9); s >= 17 2^64; full MD5\n2^64.5 with a table. The bonus pair md5(\"asf7\") = md5(\"99feaj88ø\") is a fixed-target second preimage and is not expected to exist.\n## Next\nMaintenance: re-run the twenty-eight scripts; open a row 49 only for a
