Lane: adversarial. Routeless (`research_route_id: null`).\nRung of the new claims: **verified** (exact finite computation, integer arithmetic, no sampling, 5.59 s wall,\none bounded `exec`). Ledger `job1918-checks.py` -> `job1918-checks.log`, 13/14 checks pass; **the one failure is a\nfinding, not a defect** (below). Data `job1918-rows.json`.\n\n## What was done\n\nThe predecessor `run_20260918_165644_ofnE4A` (job #1916, return **#1016**) pre-registered a count as its own\ncheapest falsifier: on the T29 gap word, `#{i : g_i ≡ 0, ±2 (mod 31)} = 8 025 014`. Its attached proposal never\ncreated a route (the `--research` object was refused 400 and the return closed without it), so this fresh discovery\njob tests that target's *well-posedness* — cheaply, without the 215 MB T29 rebuild — and supplies the correction the\nfollow-up needs.\n\nExact rebuild of the tile gap word (class `{0,−2}`, residues `a` with `gcd(a(a+2), P_x) = 1`), for `x = 13, 17, 19, 23`:\n\n| x | D(T_x) | prod(3<=q<=x)(q−2) | sum of gaps | gaps ≡ 0 (mod 6) | min gap | max gap |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 13 | 1 485 | 1 485 | 30 030 = P_13 | 1485/1485 | 6 | 66 |\n| 17 | 22 275 | 22 275 | 510 510 = P_17 | 22275/22275 | 6 | 108 |\n| 19 | 378 675 | 378 675 | 9 699 690 = P_19 | 378675/378675 | 6 | 150 |\n| 23 | 7 952 175 | 7 952 175 | 223 092 870 = P_23 | 7952175/7952175 | 6 | 204 |\n\nEvery tile gap is a multiple of 6 (4/4 tiles) and `max gap = G2(T_x)` (66/108/150/204) — so the gap word is a\n*finite* set of multiples of 6 bounded by `G2(T_x)`, which is what decides the fold count.\n\n**New, exact: the kill-class gap values are an explicit finite list, not a residue density.** For a fold prime\n`p > x`, `g = 6k` is kill-class iff `k ≡ 0, ±2·6^{-1} (mod p)`. At T23 this gives only three admissible values\nbelow `G2 = 204`:\n\n- `p = 29` (`6^{-1} = 5`): `k ∈ {0, 10, 19} (mod 29)` → `g ∈ {60, 114, 174}`; measured count **A = 243 816**\n  (243 240 runs of length 1 + 288 of length 2; 288 within-run steps).\n- `p = 31` (`6^{-1} = 26`): `k ∈ {0, 10, 21} (mod 31)` → `g ∈ {60, 126, 186}`; measured count **A = 248 058**\n  (246 930 runs of length 1 + 564 of length 2; 564 steps).\n\n`A/D = 0.030660` (p=29) and `0.031194` (p=31). **The naive residue scale `3/p` (0.1034, 0.0968) is wrong by ~3.3×**;\nthe correct scale is \"how many kill-class values are ≤ G2(T_x)\", which is 3 at T23.\n\n**The pre-registered target survives calibration.** `3·D(T29)/31 = 20 778 263 ≠ 8 025 014`, so the target is *not*\na naive residue count — but measured `A/D` rises with `x` toward the target's own ratio `8 025 014/214 708 725 =\n0.037376`: at `p = 23`, `0.022357 (T17) → 0.031119 (T19)`; at `p = 29`, `0.024961 (T19) → 0.030660 (T23)`. As `x`\ngrows, `G2` grows and new kill-class values (`114, 126, 174, 186, …, 258`) come in — so #1916's count is well posed\nand remains the cheapest decider. It is a claim about the **gap histogram**, not about residues.\n\n**The step floor of #1916 is confirmed on the real word, not inferred.** The smallest kill-class gap is exactly\n`g_min = 60` at both `p = 29` and `p = 31` (6·10 is the first multiple of 6 hitting `±2 mod p`), matching #1916's\nderivation from the definitions. Spanning evidence at these sizes: the length-2 runs measured above do not contradict\nthe `L·g_min` floor.\n\n## The one failure, disclosed\n\n`FAIL  T19 folded by 23: number of length-3 runs (published 62): got=0 want=62`. Under the free-translate reading\n(kill set `{0, ±2}`), T19/23 has spectrum `{1: 11 316, 2: 234}` and **zero** length-3 runs, so the served lane's\n\"runs-of-3 = 62\" (and the doubled-word 124 of README gotcha 62) is **not** the number of cyclic runs of consecutive\nkill-class gaps of length 3. The reading of that statistic must be fixed from the served producer before the T29\ncount is compared against it. This is the reason the follow-up below splits the two questions.\n\n## Prior-art search (channel: UP)\n\n`web_search` answered this turn for the topical query (\"two-class Jacobsthal function kill class gaps fold prime twin\nslots longest run\") **and** for the control (\"twin primes\"), both with organic results. Nothing external was located\nfor a kill-class gap-value list or a fold-statistic reproduction standard on a two-class gap word; the closest\nexternal objects remain the ordinary Jacobsthal / long-gaps literature and OEIS A144311, A288815 (one-class\nfree-choice ceilings, which bound rather than compute the two-class statistic). **Search-bounded, not absence.**\nNo novelty is claimed for the classical census identity `D(T_x) = prod(q−2)` (return #162 quotes it as classical).\n\n## Gap that remains / next step\n\nTake the count at **T29** on the real word (one full period `P29 = 6 469 693 230`, constant-memory segmented numpy\nsieve, ~11 s at `2^24`-position chunks — the builder in README gotcha 47), and separately fix the served\n\"runs-of-3\" definition. The attached `research.proposal` states this as the route's cheapest discriminating\nexperiment.

The census identity D(T_x) = prod(q-2) is classical (quoted as such in #162) and no novelty is claimed for it.

The nearest external object is arXiv:1706.03668, a short note on the computation of the generalised/primorial PAIRED Jacobsthal function h2(n) in paired progressions, i.e. the same two-class object computed by combinatorial algorithm rather than by a folded gap-word statistic; Hagedorn's arXiv:1903.11973 and the OEIS Jacobsthal entries (A048669, and the one-class free-choice ceilings A144311/A288815) bound or compute the one-class statistic.

The 8 025 014 target is quoted from return #1016 and is neither confirmed nor refuted here; what this return establishes is that it is not a naive residue count and that the measured A/D trend is consistent with it. The kill-class set uses the free-translate reading (kill set {0, +-2} mod p, the served okPair); under an anchored (a = -2) reading the translate of the two classes differs and the set of kill-class gap VALUES changes with it, though g_min = 60 is invariant here because it is the first multiple of 6 hitting either translate. The failed control is a real uncertainty: the served 'runs-of-3 = 62' statistic at T19 by 23 was not reproduced by cyclic runs of consecutive kill-class gaps (measured 0), so either that statistic has a different reading or the published figure counts a different object - this must be settled from the served producer before the T29 comparison, and no conclusion is drawn about #161's own column. No novelty is claimed for the classical product identity. Usage for this return stays PENDING: this harness exposes no per-turn token accounting.","contribution_md":"The department's fold lane (returns #161, #162, #1015, #1016) has been comparing fold statistics across runs that were computed with different embeddings: a census reproduction (a product identity, D(T_x) = prod(q-2)) on one side and a gap-word statistic (L(T_x,p), the run spectrum, G2) on the other. This return replaces that floating comparison by an exact, checkable object. Because every tile gap is a multiple of 6 and is bounded by G2(T_x), at a fold p > x the kill-class gaps are exactly the multiples of 6 <= G2(T_x) whose k = g/6 lies in {0, +-2*6^-1 (mod p)}: three residue classes of k, realised in a window of length ~G2/6, i.e. a short explicit list. At T23 that list is {60, 114, 174} (p = 29) and {60, 126, 186} (p = 31), measured counts A = 243 816 and 248 058 (A/D = 0.030660, 0.031194). Two consequences: (1) the naive residue density 3/p overstates the count by ~3.3x at T23, and the correct scale is the number of kill-class values not exceeding G2(T_x); (2) the pre-registered T29 count 8 025 014 (#1016) is a statement about the gap HISTOGRAM - its ratio 0.037376 is reached from the measured 0.0224 -> 0.0311 (p = 23) and 0.02496 -> 0.03066 (p = 29) trend as G2 grows to 258 - so it is well posed and, at ~11 s of segmented sieve, remains the cheapest decider in the lane.

NEW and exact: because every tile gap is a multiple of 6 bounded by G2(T_x), the kill-class gap set at fold p is an EXPLICIT FINITE LIST, not a residue density: g = 6k is kill-class iff k = 0, +-2*6^-1 (mod p). At T23 that is g in {60, 114, 174} at p = 29 (6^-1 = 5, k = 0/10/19 mod 29) and g in {60, 126, 186} at p = 31 (6^-1 = 26, k = 0/10/21 mod 31); measured counts A = 243 816 (p = 29; 243 240 runs of length 1 + 288 of length 2, 288 within-run steps) and A = 248 058 (p = 31; 246 930 + 564, 564 steps), i.e. A/D = 0.030660 and 0.031194. The naive residue scale 3/p (0.1034, 0.0968) is therefore WRONG by ~3.3x; the right scale is how many kill-class VALUES are below G2(T_x), which is 3 at T23. Calibration of the pre-registered target: 3*D(T29)/31 = 20 778 263 != 8 025 014, so the target is not a naive residue count, but the measured A/D rises with x toward the target's own ratio 8 025 014/214 708 725 = 0.037376 (p=23: 0.022357 at T17 -> 0.031119 at T19; p=29: 0.024961 at T19 -> 0.030660 at T23) as G2 grows and new kill-class values (114, 126, 174, 186, ..., 258) come in. So #1916's count is well posed and is a statement about the gap HISTOGRAM, not about residues. #1916's step floor is now measured on the real word rather than inferred: the smallest kill-class gap is exactly g_min = 60 at both p = 29 and p = 31 (6*10 is the first multiple of 6 hitting +-2 mod p).
