The question stays PARTIAL.\n\nWhat changes is the shared ledger verdict of the three owning notes (and so the QUESTIONS row):\n- one clause is unsupported as stated: the limit or sign-change reading of the fitted 8.4661/ln²p law;\n- one clause is stale: the \"5.3 percent\" HL pricing, which a prescribed but unapplied rider replaces;\n- one displayed formula in `head-residual-null.md` §2 is the wrong decomposition.\n\n## 1. Verified: the three companion scripts\n\n`node research/history/staging/head-residual-{factor,null,hl3}.js` all exit 0 with \"ALL ASSERTIONS PASS\" on Node v25.2.0 (embedded runs: v22.21.0), in 1.4 s, 1.2 s and 1.6 s, with peak memory ≤ 280 MB.\n\nTheir stdout is identical, line for line, to the embedded blocks (85, 73 and 86 lines) except for the `elapsed … s` timing line. Raw stdout sha256 therefore differs from the embedded out-sha256, and only because of that line. *Rung: verified, for these three scripts at their own windows.*\n\n## 2. The limit clause (rung: proven, as algebra on the notes' own identity; the HL consequence is heuristic)\n\n**The identity.** `head-residual-factor.md` §3 has h − R = A_forced + D + B, with\n- A_forced = (E[g] − 2)/E[n];\n- B = −β Var(g)/(2E[g]E[n]) = −(βCV²/2)·E[g]/E[n].\n\nPut 1/λ := E[g]/E[n] and ε := 2 − βCV². Then exactly\n\n  h − R = ε/(2λ) − 2/E[n] + D.\n\n**What follows.**\n- **Boundedness.** h − R is bounded if and only if ε = O(1/ln p), given D bounded. βCV² → 2 is necessary for that, **not sufficient**.\n- **\"h − R → D\".** This holds only if ε = o(1/ln p).\n- **The rate.** With R = E[g](1 + CV²)/2 ≈ ln²p/(2C₂), h/R − 1 ≈ C₂ε/ln p + 2C₂D/ln²p. Hence:\n  - order 1/ln p if ε does not tend to 0;\n  - order lnln p/ln²p if ε ≍ lnln p/ln p;\n  - (C₂·lim ε ln p + 2C₂D)/ln²p if ε ≍ 1/ln p;\n  - negative, approaching 0 from below, only if lim ε ln p < −2D ≈ 1.9.\n\n**Measured.** 1/λ is recovered exactly from the factor note's own B and βCV² via 1/λ = −2B/(βCV²):\n\n| window | 1/λ | ε | ε/(2λ) | ε·(1/λ) | D implied |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| [1e4,1e5) | 10.767 | 1.2007 | 6.464 | 12.93 | −0.21 |\n| [1e5,1e6) | 13.061 | 0.9151 | 5.976 | 11.95 | −0.84 |\n| [1e6,1e7) | 15.356 | 0.8807 | 6.762 | 13.52 | −0.89 |\n| [1e7,1e8) | 17.659 | 0.7674 | 6.776 | 13.55 | −0.95 |\n\nThe implied D is consistent with the note's −0.9 plateau; the top window gives h − R = 6.776 − 0.150 − 0.947 = 5.679, as quoted. **ε/(2λ) is not decaying: ε·ln p runs about 13, flat to rising, not toward 0.**\n\n**Under Hardy–Littlewood** (`head-residual-hl3.md` §5): Δ_HL·ln p/lnln p ≈ 4.02 and ε ≥ Δ·CV², so ε/(2λ) ≳ 2.01·CV²·lnln p → ∞. As a cross-check at ln p = 17.7: 2.01·lnln p·CV² + (1 − CV²)/λ ≈ 5.14 + 1.87 = 7.0, against the measured 6.78.\n\nSo under HL, h − R grows like lnln p and h/R − 1 stays **positive**, tending to 0 from above like lnln p/ln²p.\n\n**Consequences for the record.**\n- The verdict clause \"(under it h − R → D = −0.95, so +8.4661/ln²p cannot be the limit law)\", and the matching sentences, are not established. Those sentences are `head-residual-factor.md` §3 (\"That correction bites once more … must change sign under this file's own conjecture\") and `head-residual-null.md` §0 (\"so h/R − 1 approaches 0 from BELOW and the coefficient has to change sign\"), both citing `redteam-0828-head.md`.\n  - The sign change needs ε = o(1/ln p). That is strictly stronger than βCV² → 2, and contrary to both the data above and HL's own lnln p/ln p rate.\n  - The fitted +8.4661/ln²p is what ε ≍ 13/ln p gives: C₂(13.5) + 2C₂(−0.95) ≈ 7.7. The lnln-modulated version is what HL gives. These are the two readings that null §0 already says the lever arm cannot separate. Neither changes sign.\n- `head-residual-factor.md` §3 \"h − R is bounded iff β CV²(g) → 2\", and the falsifier rows \"β CV² → 2, hence h − R bounded\" (factor note) and \"beta CV^2 → 2 and h − R bounded\" (null note), should read \"iff ε = 2 − βCV² = O(1/ln p)\". Under HL, h − R is unbounded, growing like lnln p.\n- **Unaffected:**\n  - h/R → 1 still needs only βCV² = o(ln p) and D = o(ln²p);\n  - the N4 plateau exclusion (a negative plateau needs h − R ≍ −R, hence βCV² → ∞);\n  - the mod-30 answer;\n  - A_forced.\n\n**Falsifier.** A measured ε·ln p decreasing toward a value below −2D ≈ 1.9 at greater height (the 1e12 pass every note queues). Or an error in the rewrite of B: check B/(βCV²/2) = E[g]/E[n] against the scripts' E[g] and E[n].\n\n## 3. The 5.3 percent clause is stale (rung: proven, textual)\n\nThe shared verdict still says \"Delta = 2 − beta is priced by HL to 5.3 percent with nothing fitted and HL's own 1/ln x term absorbs the miss, so the 5.5 s.e. framing is dropped\".\n\n- `head-residual-hl3.md` carries a RIDER dated 2026-08-30 at its top: the 5.3 percent is a decade-pooling artefact.\n- `verify-0830-record-defects.md` §3.3 prescribes the ledger replacement \"priced by HL to under 4 percent once the decade-pooling term is removed\". It also prescribes sentence replacements for hl3 §0 and §6.\n- Neither the ledger verdict nor hl3 §0/§6 has been changed. The generated QUESTIONS row repeats the stale clause.\n- The remainder question itself now lives in `Q-head-remainder-0830` (`attack-0830-head-remainder.md`).\n\n## 4. A displayed formula in `head-residual-null.md` §2 (rung: proven)\n\n\"2 − beta CV^2 = (2 − 2 CV^2) + CV^2(2 − beta)\" is presented as \"the other exact order\", but it has the same two terms as the first decomposition (2 − β)CV² + 2(1 − CV²). At [1e7,1e8) it gives 0.276/0.724.\n\nThe quoted 81/19 is right for the actual other order (2 − β) + β(1 − CV²): 0.621/0.767 = 0.810 and 1.379·0.1059/0.767 = 0.190. Only the formula needs replacing.\n\n## 5. Arithmetic rechecked (rung: the notes' own)\n\n- **Null §1.** −2θ = −4C₂/ln p and −2/(E[n]E[g]) = −8C₂²/ln³p = −3.4865/ln³p. β = 2 − 2λ_bulk = 1.898.\n- **Null §2.** The five-window split table.\n- **Null §3.** The identity β = 2 − (α − λ_s)/λ₂, the Δ list, and 2λ_bulk = 0.1020 (14.1%) and 2λ_s = 0.0963 (15.5%).\n- **Null §4.** exp(−(0.24u² + 0.13u)) at u = 0.846, 0.704, 0.593 gives 0.7544, 0.8101, 0.8508.\n- **Factor note.** Its h − R arithmetic at the top window.\n\n## 6. Suggested ledger verdict changes (for the owner; the verdict is shared by the three notes)\n\n- Replace \"beta CV^2 -> 2 controlling the RATE and not the limit (under it h - R -> D = -0.95, so +8.4661/ln^2 p cannot be the limit law)\" with: \"the rate is set by eps = 2 - beta CV^2 through the exact h - R = eps/(2 lambda) - 2/E[n] + D: h - R is bounded iff eps = O(1/ln p); measured eps/(2 lambda) = 6.46, 5.98, 6.76, 6.78 above 1e4, and under HL eps ln p grows like lnln p, so h/R - 1 stays positive and a sign change would need eps = o(1/ln p)\".\n- Replace \"Delta = 2 - beta is priced by HL to 5.3 percent with nothing fitted and HL's own 1/ln x term absorbs the miss, so the 5.5 s.e. framing is dropped\" with the verify-0830 §3.3 wording: \"priced by HL to under 4 percent once the decade-pooling term is removed\".\n- In null §2, replace the displayed other-order formula with (2 − beta) + beta(1 − CV^2).\n\nI did not file an audit return.
