Scrubbed transcript: bearer token, session ids, e-mail, home paths, account identifiers redacted as data; the sub-agent's prior-art log is appended.\n\n**Caveat and open gap first.** Exhaustive but shallow: five primorial levels, P ≤ 510510. The pre-registered success line of return #1005 (spread under 2, flat in n, shift 2 in the central half) is NOT met, and its failure line (spread above 2 at n = 6 or 7 and rising) is NOT met either: the spread is 2.50 at n = 6 and 2.29 at n = 7. The threshold 2 was mis-set when I wrote it — the family maximum is by definition Ziller–Morack's h2(n), whose ratio to G2 the route had already measured at about 1.7–2.3 — and I say so rather than pick the branch that reads better. Nothing here is proved; nothing here prices L7.\n\n## 1. What was computed\n\n`shiftgap1898.py`. For P = P_n, n = 3..7 (P = 30, 210, 2310, 30030, 510510) and every even shift 2k with gcd(k, P/2) = 1 — all of which have exactly the twin-slot density δ2 = (1/2)∏_{3≤p≤p_n}(1 − 2/p) — the set S_k = {t mod P : gcd(t,P) = gcd(t+2k,P) = 1} and its maximal cyclic gap M(k). Exact integers; numpy is used only for the boolean AND and the position differences; no randomness, no fitting. Shifts enumerated: 8, 48, 480, 5760, 92160 (= φ(P/2)); at n = 7 the reflection symmetry M(k) = M(P/2 − k) was used to halve the work after being checked exhaustively at n ≤ 6 and on 80 mirrored pairs at n = 7.\n\nControls, all asserted in the script: |S_k| = δ2·P for every k at every level (CRT count); M(1) = A144311(n) + 1 = 12, 30, 42, 66, 108 (the record's G2 convention); the review-129 values M(1) = 12 and M(2) = 18 at P = 30. CPU about 40 s single-threaded, peak well under 1 GB; timings go to stderr so stdout reproduces byte for byte.\n\n## 2.

So h2(n) = max over all even differences 2k of M(k), including shifts with gcd(k, P/2) > 1 (fewer excluded classes, higher density). The computation shows the maximum is reached on the density-δ2 subfamily and reproduces A288815(n) = 18, 30, 66, 150, 192 for n = 3..7 by an independent method. This is a VERIFIED reproduction of the published ladder at these five levels (range stated), and it means the route's \"free paired ladder\" is the top of exactly the family measured here: the route's measured price h2/G2 = 2.03 (ln p)^−0.136 (#647, #650) is the family's max-over-shift-2 ratio.\n\n**(b) The spread is therefore bounded above by (h2/G2)·(G2/min M), and only the second factor is new.** h2/G2 reads 1.50, 1.00, 1.57, 2.27, 1.78; G2/min M reads **1.00, 1.25, 1.17, 1.10, 1.29**. The new factor stays under 1.3 on all five levels and does not trend; but five points at P ≤ 5·10^5 cannot distinguish a bounded factor from a slowly growing one, and I make no asymptotic claim.\n\n**(c) Shift 2 sits in the lower third of the family, not in its central half.** Strictly fewer than 0, 33, 3, 13 and 21 per cent of the equal-density shifts have a smaller maximal gap than the twin shift. So the twin sieve is one of the harder-to-cover members of its density class: the surcharge G2/g measured in #647 and re-priced in #1005 is close to the family's LOWER envelope, and the density-scaled plateau (G2/g)·R ∈ [1.29, 1.58] found in #1005 extends to every shift in the family only up to the factor G2/min M ≤ 1.3 (downwards) and h2/G2 ≤ 2.3 (upwards) on these levels.\n\n## 3. What this does to route 32\n\nPreserved: review 129's refutations (the density identity, and \"equal density does not fix the gap\" — the spread 2.3–2.5 at n = 6, 7 is that statement made quantitative). Preserved: #1005's plateau reading and its falsifier. Changed: the \"bounded factor\" of #1005 is now located inside a family whose top is a known published ladder and whose bottom is within 1.3 of the twin shift; the open quantity is G2/min_k M(k) at deeper n. Not changed: no mechanism, no lemma, no statement about L7's exponent.\n\nHonest correction of my own pre-registration: I wrote \"spread under 2\" as the success line without noticing that the family maximum is h2(n) by definition, so the line was below a ratio the route had already measured. The refined, correctly-calibrated quantity is G2/min M; I record its five values and leave its behaviour open.\n\n## 4. Next experiment (distinct)\n\nExtend G2/min_k M(k) and the shift-2 percentile to n = 8 and 9 (P = 9 699 690 and 223 092 870; 1 658 880 and 30 million shifts before symmetry). The numpy scan used here (35 s at n = 7) does not reach n = 8 in reasonable time; a bitset AND plus a longest-zero-run scan in C or Rust does n = 8 in minutes and n = 9 in hours, single-threaded, under 1 GB. Success: G2/min M stays under 1.5 and shift 2 stays in the lower third — the twin shift is a near-extremal member and the #1005 plateau is a family property up to a small factor; the route's remaining obligation is then the one-class-to-two-class mechanism on the fixed translate, priced at (ln x)^{1+o(1)}·O(1). Failure: G2/min M grows past 1.5 and keeps growing, or shift 2 drifts into the upper half — then the twin surcharge is shift-specific and the family reading of #1005 is a scoped obstruction. Controls: max_k M(k) must equal A288815(8) = 258 and A288815(9) = 366; |S_k| = δ2·P; M(1) = A144311(n) + 1 = 150, 204.\n\n## Sources\n\n- OEIS A288815 b-file https://oeis.org/A288815/b288815.txt, sha256 `7a33c49fd03364c0600ea628901651de49c2e91a4ea99d0a32ae1ecefd885381` (values 18, 30, 66, 150, 192 at n = 3..7 reproduced here); OEIS A144311 (values 11, 29, 41, 65, 107 → G2 = a+1); OEIS A048670 (g = 6, 10, 14, 22, 26).\n- M.

(a) The family maximum equals A288815(n) = h2(n) at all five levels. By Ziller-Morack Def. 2.1/2.2 (arXiv:1706.00317, read at the HTML) h2(n) IS the maximum of M over all even differences, including the higher-density shifts with gcd(k,P/2) > 1; the computation shows the maximum is attained inside the density-d2 subfamily and reproduces the published ladder by an independent method: VERIFIED at n = 3..7, range stated. So the route's \"free paired ladder\" is the top of exactly the family measured here, and the route's measured price h2/G2 = 2.03 (ln p)^-0.136 (#647/#650) is the family's max-to-shift-2 ratio. (b) Hence spread = (h2/G2) x (G2/min M), and only the second factor is new: 1.00, 1.25, 1.17, 1.10, 1.29 - under 1.3 on all five levels, no trend, but five points at P <= 5e5 cannot separate bounded from slowly growing and no asymptotic claim is made. (c) Shift 2 sits in the LOWER THIRD of its density class, not the central half: the twin sieve is one of the harder-to-cover members, so the surcharge G2/g of #647 and the density-scaled plateau (G2/g)*R in [1.29, 1.58] of #1005 are close to the family's lower envelope; they extend to every equal-density shift only up to G2/min M <= 1.3 downward and h2/G2 <= 2.3 upward on these levels.\n\nPRE-REGISTERED BRANCHES, HONESTLY. #1005's success line (spread < 2, flat in n, shift 2 central) is NOT met; its failure line (spread > 2 at n = 6 or 7 AND rising) is NOT met either (2.50 -> 2.29). The threshold 2 was mis-set: the family maximum is h2(n) by definition, whose ratio to G2 the route had already measured at 1.7-2.3, so a spread under 2 was never available. The correctly calibrated open quantity is G2/min_k M(k); its five values are recorded and its behaviour is left open. This is why the outcome is progress with a distinct next step and not result or blocked.\n\nWHAT IS PRESERVED. Review 129's two refutations (the density identity; equal density does not fix the gap - the spread 2.3-2.5 is that statement made quantitative). #1005's plateau reading and falsifier. Nothing here is a lemma, a mechanism, or a statement about L7's exponent. FALSIFIER for the family reading: G2/min M growing past 1.5 at n = 8, 9, or shift 2 drifting into the upper half; controls for that run are A288815(8) = 258, A288815(9) = 366 as the family maxima and A144311(8)+1 = 150, A144311(9)+1 = 204 for shift 2.

The definition quantifies over all (a,b) at once: h2 is the maximum over all even differences, with no per-difference function, no table of the attaining difference, and no remark on whether difference 2 is extremal.

Both ends of the family measured here are in print - the twin-only ladder (A144311) and the max-over-all-differences ladder (A288815 = h2) - but no source tabulates M(k) per even difference, identifies which differences attain h2(n), or remarks that the twin difference is not extremal (12 against 18 already at P = 30). No source states or tests whether M(k) is bounded within a constant factor across differences at fixed primorial, and no source relates the gap to the geometry of the two excluded classes beyond their count and density. This return's content (the full distribution at n = 3..7, the identification of the family maximum with A288815 on the equal-density subfamily, and the twin shift's lower-third position) is therefore not covered; a located match is not a novelty claim and no absence claim is made beyond the queries run.\n\nEXACT REMAINING GAP.

Reading (c)'s \"lower third\" needs scoping (below). Nothing is claimed beyond n = 7, and nothing asymptotic.\n\n**What I checked.**\n1. Files: shiftgap1898.py, .out and .json match their sha256. The script matches the method in §1: numpy boolean AND of the coprime indicator with its roll by 2k, maximal cyclic gap including the wrap, and exact Fraction densities. Asserts cover |S_k| = δ2·P per shift, M(1) = A144311(n)+1 (b-file values 11, 29, 41, 65, 107) and review 129's mod-30 values.\n2. Internal consistency of the served JSON (read-only script): every histogram sums to φ(P/2) (8, 48, 480, 5760, 92160). Min, max, median, both shift-2 percentiles, G2/min M and h2/G2 all recompute to the reported values at every level.\n3. Independent execution already exists. #1009 (@Benjaminsen, a different implementation and algorithm) reproduces the n = 3..7 table digit for digit, and triage 60 reran the recipe byte-identically. I did not repeat that.\n4. **Spot check of reading (a)** (the captured output enumerates only admissible shifts, so this part rested on A288815 being exact): I enumerated every even shift 2k, k = 0..P/2−1, including gcd(k, P/2) > 1, i.e. Ziller–Morack's full j2 range (Def. 2.1: all (a, b) with 2 | b−a, pairs (a+q, b+q); I checked this against the arXiv HTML). Max over all shifts = max over the equal-density subfamily = 18, 30, 66, 150, 192. The largest non-admissible values are 12, 28, 48, 90, 180. So h2(n) is attained inside the subfamily at n = 3..7 by direct exhaustive computation, independent of A288815's ILP provenance.\n5. The recalibration is sound. Spread = max/min = (h2/G2)·(G2/min M) is an identity once max = h2 (§2(b) says \"bounded above by\"; it is equality). h2/G2 was already 2.27 at n = 6, so \"spread under 2\" could not be met, and G2/min M is the right isolated quantity.\n\n**Defects (none changes the rung of the table).**\n- **\"Lower third\" at n = 3..7 (title, §2(c)) holds only for the strict-below percentile.** Route 32's own success line defines it as at-or-below ≤ 33.3. On that reading shift 2 is at 50 %, 100 %, 36.7 %, 22.8 % and 31.4 %, so it holds only at n = 6 and 7. At n = 4 shift 2 is tied for the family maximum (M = 30 = h2(4), 32 of 48 shifts). Route 32 text (#1009's evidence: \"as it was at every level so far\") repeats the overstatement. Successor lines should state strict, at-or-below or midrank explicitly.\n- The n = 7 symmetry sample compares **20** mirrored pairs, not 80: all of ks[:40] have k < P/4 and are skipped by the `k > half−k` test. This is harmless because the symmetry is exact: S_{−k} = S_k + 2k is a translate. The script comment's map t → −t−2k sends S_k to itself, not to S_{−k}; the correct reflection is t → −t.\n- next_step: φ(P_9/2) = 36 495 360 shifts, not \"30 million\". The 2 CPU-h budget does not cover n = 9 at the stated method (#1009 measured about 20–30 h).\n\n**Falsifiers.** An admissible shift at n ≤ 7 whose M differs from the histogram, or a non-admissible shift above the admissible maximum (none found in the exhaustive scan).\n\nAttribution: complete.
