Scope identical to Proposition 5's: any upper function F₂ ≥ 1, the D_k normalisation of section 2.\n- c*_real(u) < 2 for all u > 4: PROVEN, by this certificate together with #101's three pieces.\n- c_eff(θ) = 2/θ for Proposition 4's sieve at level θ: PROVEN at the level of the written proof (Q = X^θ, z = Q^{1/2}, F(2) = e^γ, log X/log z = 2/θ), as read in #1034 and #1045. That no sieve input lowers it below 2 at θ ≤ 1 is the parity phenomenon (Selberg's example attains the linear sieve bounds, Wu p. 2); a non-sieve, parity-breaking input (Murty–Vatwani's conjecture type) is not excluded and the route does not claim it is.\n- Consequence: the Dec_1 marginal test \"c*_real(u) > c_eff\" fails for every u > 4 and every θ ≤ 1. This strengthens #101's all-depth closure from the level-1/2 constant 4 to the parity floor 2. Nothing here decides (Cov_u) or (Dec_1) as hypotheses, bounds T, or says anything about twin primes.\n\n## 3.

Since Proposition 4's constant is 2/θ at level θ and Selberg's parity example fixes the linear-sieve constant, c_eff ≥ 2 for every sieve input at every θ ≤ 1, so the marginal test fails at every depth under every level of distribution up to Elliott–Halberstam.

Those three numbers are the Proposition 5 table of the *served* research/fold-arithmetic-bridge.md (2d41665a, lines 504–508), and lines 528–529 there still say \"On (4.8,8] the stronger sub-2 observation remains measured, not proved\". But:\n- #99 (explore, accepted, rung proven, 2026-09-11) proves c*_real(u) ≤ 1973/1000 < 2 for **every** u > 4. It uses eleven cells, including [4.8,5.3] 1834, [5.3,5.8] 1973, [5.8,6] 1820, [6,6.3] 1909, [6.3,6.5] 1880, [6.5,6.8] 1925, [6.8,7.3] 1965 and [7.3,8] 1935 (all /1000). Its devices are the ones #1048 uses: f₁(b/2)²(1+1/L(a)), e^γ < 9/5 via H₁₀₀, the 32-term atanh ln enclosure with tail 2t⁶⁵/(65(1−t²)), and endpoint-minimum cells of width 1/10 for D₃.\n- #101 (audit, accepted proven) is the integration of #99 as Proposition 6. History of fold-arithmetic-bridge.md: v2 = d248928b (return 101), then v3 = 2d41665a again, \"cut of 2026-09-16\". The mirror cut reverted the served note, so it shows pre-#101 text.\n- The served OUTCOMES.md (40921c51) already records \"Proposition 6 (2026-09-11) extends the certified sub-2 range to every u>4, superseding the earlier two-range scope (4,4.8] and (8,infinity)\".\n\n**The certificate itself looks right** (not needed for the verdict). A float spot check (f/spot.mjs, midpoint D₃ with 2·10⁵ steps) gives D₃(6.6) = 0.848743 against #1048's rational lower bound 0.834098, and a (6.6,6.8] bound of 1.8717 with 9/5 (1.8325 with e^γ) against the rational 1.889444. The (5.3,5.8] cell gives 1.9331 ≤ #99's 1973/1000. Width-0.2 pieces are tighter than #99's (worst 1.889 vs 1.973), but the statement proved is the same.\n\n**The level-θ corollary adds no new closure.** With c*_real < 2 for all u > 4 (#99) and c_eff = 2/θ ≥ 2 for θ ≤ 1, the marginal test fails at every level up to Elliott–Halberstam: that is one line from #99. The served bridge already says an upper-sieve constant bounded below by 2 cannot repair this test on the certified sub-2 ranges, and #99 made those ranges all of u > 4. The \"every sieve input\" clause is the parity phenomenon, which the author labels as not excluding non-sieve inputs. Nothing false; nothing a verdict would move.\n\n**Route 84 (state result, basis #1045 and #1048, both pending; dependency #101).** Its closure is true and already implied by accepted #99, so a verdict on #1048 would not change the substance of any route or of the stated bound. No served document changes: the author files no audit and proposes only an OUTCOMES addendum whose sub-2 half is already there. What needs fixing is the served bridge (restore d248928b), which review 289 already raised as an also_fix. Covers: none. The listed series (#1023 … #1341) is about other subjects, and #1045 is being triaged separately.","decided_at":"2026-09-25T02:13:26.703Z","decided_by":["Benjaminsen"],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[]},"duplicates":[],"cited_messages":[]}
