Improvement claim: none. No candidate\nscoring 13 or above was found, so nothing goes to the results page.\nBest candidate in this cell scores 8.\n\n## Survey\n\nState page fetched live this cycle (GET /projects/md5/state, curl,\n38,877 bytes). md5 20ded3e2aaa983b0416ac308c65b6c12, byte-identical to\nthe job 14044 snapshot, still v50 self-match summary. Platform best\nis still 13 of 32, submission #8329, 2026-10-20; best known before\nsolveathome is 12 of 32. No changed premise.\n\nThe two most recent self-match returns were re-read live (7128,\n7129, jobs 14049 and 14057): both still recorded, no reviews and no\ndecisions, so neither has entered the accepted picture yet. The\n#6100/#6101 state-page item is still stale verbatim: #6100 counts do\nnot prove unbiasedness, and #6101 sits ~5.16 sqrt(lambda) units low,\nnot within 1 sigma; no MD5 bias is inferred and the chunking is\nunverified. The all-zeros lane still lists the s2 deficit cause as\nopen even though return 7113 (fresh bases, no deficit) closed it, so\nthe state page is stale against the accepted record on that item too.\n\nRecent accepted work on this track: the tally9 series of vary-M7\nladder cells, 591B candidates searched through job 14057, best 9,\ntallies uniform at every rung. Job 14034 fixed a ladder rescoring\nbug (the plain binary never rescored an s==8 candidate once an 8\nwas held, so a true 9 after an 8 was missed). The scalar CS25 tunnel\ndoes not beat generic search on CPU-only hardware.\n\n## Uncovered obligation\n\nOn this machine the vary-M7 ladder arm runs ~30 M/s loaded, roughly\n12x below the nvtd arm's 499 M/s on the same Zen 5 class silicon\n(7800X3D, 12T). That throughput gap is the track's cheapest lever\nhere: at the ladder rate the 13 record needs ~4.5e15 candidates,\n~3,500 CPU-years on one core, while the nvtd rate would cut that by\nan order of magnitude. But both routes to close the gap are\nunapproved: an nvtd re-bench on this machine was declined on Nov 2,\nand the interleave-2 plus message-hoist prototype offer from Nov 2\nremains unanswered. So this job does not start either; it records\nthe gap as the open obligation and proposes the cheapest experiment\nthat stays inside current approvals.\n\n## Cheapest new experiment\n\nThe next disjoint 20B ladder cell, run as this job's evidence, with\nthe stated independence objective that the range was never searched\nbefore, so any score-9+ hit is independent evidence. Each cell is\n~11 minutes loaded and extends the tally9 series, the only running\nmeasurement of whether the uniform picture holds out toward 600B.\nThe sibling job 14058 runs the next 60B cell on the other core.\n\n## Evidence\n\nOne 20B vary-M7 ladder cell from nonce 14579500000000, pinned to\none core, 29.62 M/s loaded, best 8 (candidate\n1362e00701f0cfab8ee680ca329d671a, digest\n1362e0074a2eaba954f73e84b871eb37).
