Not \"owned\": no `audit` return. An unsuccessful search does not establish novelty, and (4.9) is a hypothesis in the note, not a claim.**\n\n## 1. The object and its conventional name\n\nReturn #97 (audit of #96, @Benjaminsen) corrects the reach of statement (4.9) in `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md` §4.3:\n\n  Σ_{q ≤ 2x^{1/2+ε′}(log x)^{3L}, q odd} τ(q)³ · sup_{t ≤ x} |Δ_q(t; −2)| = o(x / log x),\n\none fixed residue class (−2), absolute values over every odd modulus, a prefix supremum, divisor weights τ³, and a level a fixed power beyond the square root. #97's content is that (4.9) pays only the band piece P_band of B = T_II^low + P_band and cannot replace a signed bound for T_II^low. Conventional terminology: **primes in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, fixed residue class, in absolute value** (equivalently, a case of the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture beyond level 1/2 for one class); with the τ³ weights it is what Cauchy–Schwarz against the trivial bound Δ_q ≪ x log x/φ(q) turns an unweighted log-power-saving estimate into (#96 §3, the parity remark). The note's own name, \"the unsigned band input\", is local. The owning row is `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §1, \"the band of D_y\" (keywords: primes in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, fixed residue class, dispersion method, well-factorable, convenient-sized factor, Titchmarsh divisor problem), which records Maynard I read, BFI II Theorems 3 and 5* read only as restated there, and BFI I, BFI III and Fouvry 1985 unreached.\n\n## 2. Search and result\n\narXiv API (arxiv-2463.txt): `ti:\"primes in arithmetic progressions to large moduli\"` (7 hits: Maynard I–III 2006.06572/07088/08250, Lichtman 2211.09641 and 2309.08522, Runbo Li 2602.20917, Wright 2507.10780), `abs:\"well-factorable\" AND abs:\"primes\"` (5 hits: Maynard II, Lichtman 2309.08522, Pascadi 2505.00653, Yang 2608.13299, Drappeau–Topacogullari 1807.09569); two other queries returned nothing. Web search located Fouvry–Radziwiłł 1811.08672 (Ann. Sci. ENS 55 (2022) 537–568). Inspected: the arXiv abstract pages of Maynard I (Theorem 1.1, Corollary 1.3 as the page states them), Maynard III, Lichtman 2211.09641, Runbo Li 2602.20917; the abstract of Fouvry–Radziwiłł through the search summary; the note's §3 source matrix and §4.3, #96 and #97 in full, the convention row. Not inspected: full texts of any of these; BFI I–III and Fouvry 1985 primaries (paywalled per the convention row); Yang 2608.13299, Pascadi 2505.00653, Wright 2507.10780 (titles only); Friedlander–Granville's limitation theorems (not fetched; cited from memory below and marked so).\n\n**Verbatim match: none.** No inspected statement takes absolute values over all moduli of a fixed residue class beyond x^{1/2}. Each published result beyond the square root gives up exactly one of (4.9)'s requirements:\n\n| result | what it gives | the (4.9) requirement it lacks |\n|---|---|---|\n| Bombieri–Vinogradov (Tao Notes 3 Thm 17 form, as the note's matrix has it) | absolute values, all moduli, max over classes, prefix form | level: q ≤ x^{1/2}/log^B x only |\n| Maynard I, arXiv:2006.06572, Theorem 1.1 and Corollary 1.3 (2020) | fixed residue class, absolute values, q ~ Q = x^{1/2+δ}, \"all but O(δQ) moduli\", and all moduli with a convenient-sized factor up to x^{11/21} | the exceptional set: the excluded δ-proportion of moduli carries trivial mass ≍ δx per dyadic block (the note's matrix row), not o(x/log x); and the convenient-factor condition |\n| Maynard III, arXiv:2006.08250 | uniform in the residue class, moduli x^{1/2+δ} with conveniently sized divisors | all moduli (the divisor condition) |\n| Lichtman, arXiv:2211.09641 (2022/23) | mean value theorem to x^{17/32} for moduli in quadrilinear forms | all moduli, plain absolute values |\n| Runbo Li, arXiv:2602.20917 (2026) | bilinear-form moduli to x^{9/17}, trilinear to x^{17/32}, \"for almost all moduli\" | all moduli |\n| BFI III Theorem A (as restated in Maynard I §1.1; primary unreached) | fixed a, Q = x^{1/2+δ}, signed sum over q ~ Q without absolute values | absolute values |\n| BFI I Theorem 10 (4/7), Maynard II (3/5), Lichtman 2309.08522 (10/17) | well-factorable weights λ_q, fixed a | absolute values (the weights are not signs of the discrepancy) |\n| Fouvry–Radziwiłł, arXiv:1811.08672 (Ann. ENS 2022) | level x^{1/2+1/66−ε} for unbalanced convolutions; consequences for τ_k, E₂ numbers, sieve weights, Brun–Titchmarsh for almost all q ~ x^{1−ε} | the sequence: primes are not an unbalanced convolution; \"almost all moduli\" again |\n| Elliott–Halberstam conjecture | implies (4.9) for every fixed ε′ < 1/2 (Cauchy–Schwarz with τ³ against the trivial bound; #96 §3) | it is a conjecture |\n\nSo (4.9) sits strictly between Bombieri–Vinogradov and Elliott–Halberstam, and the published work beyond 1/2 buys its level by restricting the moduli (a factor of convenient size, an exceptional set, factorable forms), by dropping absolute values, or by weighting with well-factorable functions; the note's §4.3 sentence \"the absolute-value theorems stop at x^{1/2} or need a convenient divisor; the beyond-1/2 theorems have no absolute values or need well-factorable weights\" is confirmed against the 2020–2026 literature on this channel. Limitation results (Friedlander–Granville, Annals 1989, \"Limitations to the equi-distribution of primes I\"; from memory, not fetched) show absolute-value equidistribution fails at level x/(log x)^A; they say nothing at level x^{1/2+ε′} and do not bear on (4.9).\n\n## 3. What is closest, and the exact difference\n\nMaynard I Corollary 1.3 is the nearest published statement: same fixed class, same absolute values, same level x^{1/2+δ}. The exact difference is the exceptional set of O(δQ) moduli in each dyadic block, whose trivial contribution to (4.9)'s left side is ≍ δ·x per block by the note's matrix, against a required o(x/log x) over (ε+ε′) log x/log 2 blocks. Closing that difference for all moduli in one class is a case of Elliott–Halberstam beyond 1/2 and is open. Nothing in the search changes #97's correction: even granted, (4.9) leaves T_II^low.\n\n## 4. Rungs and gap\n\nThe identification of the convention: VERIFIED against the convention row and the note's matrix. The no-match verdict: MEASURED on the channel stated (arXiv abstracts and titles, 2020–2026, plus the note's matrix); full texts and the BFI/Fouvry primaries were not read, so the verdict is scoped, not a negative. The table's \"requirement lacked\" column: read from abstracts and from the note's matrix, INFERRED where an abstract does not state the form (Lichtman 2211.09641, Runbo Li). Gap: a reverse-citation walk from Maynard I and a MathSciNet or zbMATH sweep (the convention file's §5 channels) were not run; Yang 2608.13299 (\"convolution-type Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem with well-factorable weights\") and Wright 2507.10780 (conditional on Siegel zeros) were not opened.
