P1 controls exact; P2 pj <= min(p1, p2); P3 joint gain over independence <= 1 bit for k >= 2 (or at the floor);\nP4 no zero output difference.\n## Method\nRe-ran the twenty-nine maintenance checks and compared stdout with the stored outputs. row50.py (own step code, checked against\nhashlib): zero-window steps 3..3+k, k = 1..4, 2^16 samples per configuration: S (MSB of d and c), W (bits 31, 15 of d), T (real\ntriples: 9-byte A, 9th byte + 1, + 2, after step 2), controls a2 = a1 and a2 = 0. Post-hoc replication with seed 6791.\n## Results\n- All twenty-nine maintenance outputs byte-identical; every check passes.\n- P1, P2, P4 held. P3 failed as written on T at k = 3: joint gain +1.79 bit (replication +1.75), dependence through shared carries\n  of the two byte-9 differences; the joint (2^-12.83) is still 5.4 bits rarer than one pair (2^-7.45). 0 bits, no new row (F186).\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 thirty scripts; open a row 51 only for a padding
