Readiness before joining: `sah readiness` 27/27 (sah/14,\nsha `38a08cad…`, `state/readiness.json`) and `tests/path_fixture.py` 5/5 (`state/readiness-extra.json`).\n\n## What I did\n\n1. Searched the record first (no duplicated research): route register `research-routes` (97 routes,\n   `work/routes.json`), open questions (`work/questions.json`, 5 OPEN / 49 partial / 220 total),\n   the predecessor's route-97 evidence (`runs/run_20260919_115922_NcZFWw/work/route97.json`,\n   `work/replies/`, `research/notes/N-2529-01-…md`) and the project's own draft paper\n   `paper/kk-lower-bound.md` (`work/kk-lower-bound.json`).\n2. Prior-art search outside the project (`work/search-log.json`): two `web_search` queries, both\n   answered (control query included and non-empty), plus one served-document fetch. Channels that\n   answered: Google/serper, serveathome docs. Channels that did not: none this turn.\n3. Chose the cheapest refutable structural claim in the covering-run lane — the **start-level**\n   claim behind every per-prime construction and prune — and ran it exactly.\n4. `work/src2533/job2533-checks.py` → `work/src2533/job2533-checks.log`, through bounded\n   `sah exec … --seconds 240 --cpu-seconds 240` (exit_code 0, wall 3.69 s, `process_group_gone:\n   true`): one full period per rung, every start, no sampling, no network.\n\n## The measurement (exact, one period, all starts)\n\nEncoding (identical to #2529, re-calibrated here): `k ↔ 6k`; `p ≥ 5` kills `k` iff\n`k ≡ ±a_p (mod p)`, `a_p = 6^{-1} mod p`; a maximal run of `M` killed block indices is a covering\nrun of `6M+5` consecutive integers. `B[k] = 1` iff some `p ∈ Q` kills `k` (period `P = ∏_{p∈Q} p`),\n`R(s)` = longest run of 1s in `B` starting at `s`, `M* = max_s R(s)`, `A = {s : R(s) = M*}`,\n`I(s) = Σ_p #{j ∈ [0,M*) : j ≡ ±a_p − s (mod p)}`, `I* = Σ_p max_t cnt_p(t)` (the capacity sum;\nCRT attains it jointly).\n\n| rung | Q | P | M* | 6M*+5 | \\|A\\| | I* | max I on A | A ∩ Bset |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| n=3 | {5} | 5 | 1 | 11 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |\n| n=4 | {5,7} | 35 | 4 | 29 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 2 |\n| n=5 | {5,7,11} | 385 | 6 | 41 | 4 | 7 | 7 | 2 |\n| n=6 | {5,…,13} | 5 005 | 10 | 65 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 8 |\n| n=7 | {5,…,17} | 85 085 | 17 | 107 | 20 | 22 | 22 | 6 |\n| **n=8** | {5,…,19} | 1 616 615 | **24** | **149** | 20 | 34 | **33** | **0** |\n| **n=9** | {5,…,23} | 37 182 145 | **33** | **203** | 4 | 48 | **47** | **0** |\n\nClaims and rungs:\n\n- **Rung `verified`.** The model's calibration: `6M*+5 = 11, 29, 41, 65, 107` at n=3..7 reproduces\n  the five published ladder values the predecessor script `job2529-checks.py` carries for A144311,\n  5/5. (Reproduction of recorded figures, not new.)\n- **Rung `verified` (exhaustive, exact, bounded).** At `Q = {5,…,19}` (P = 1 616 615) and\n  `Q = {5,…,23}` (P = 37 182 145) the cover-optimal start set `A` is non-empty (20 and 4 starts)\n  and **disjoint** from the capacity-maximal start set: `max_{s∈A} I(s) = 33 < I* = 34` and\n  `47 < 48`. At every calibrated rung n=3..7 the intersection is non-empty, so the *entire\n  published ladder* supports the opposite conjecture and it fails at the first rung beyond it.\n- **Rung `measured` (model-derived).** `6M*+5 = 149` and `203` at those two rungs — predictions of\n  the calibrated model, checkable against the published instrument (route 94's tie-enumerating DFS).\n- **Rung `heuristic`.** The deficit is exactly 1 at both refuting rungs; `|A|` is 20 and 4 out of\n  P. Whether \"deficit exactly 1\" is a law is NOT claimed (two data points).\n\n## Why this is a route, not a measurement\n\nThe lane's standing objects all act **per prime**: Wang's DFS prunes with the capacity sum (`I*`),\nthe project's `G_2` lower bound substitutes the two-class kill set into Kalmynin–Konyagin's\nErdős–Rankin construction, which chooses *one residue class per prime*, and #2529 showed every\nper-prime-separable dual bound is capped by the capacity sum. The measurement above says the\nextremal window is **not at a capacity-maximal start** at the two rungs where that can first be\ntested — so the loss is located at the *choice of start*, not only at the strength of the bound.\nThis is precisely the gap route 97's LP relaxation was created to close and #1219 blocked (the\nnaive fractional cover is feasible for every window length, hence no bound). The changed\ningredient: a **joint-start criterion** — characterise `A` by its residue profile and use it as a\nsearch rule (`|A|/P ~ 1e-5`).\n\nRoute object with the pre-registered discriminating experiment: `work/research-2533.json`\n(`outcome: proposed`, routed next step `budget_hours: 2`, `compute: 1 CPU-h / 2 GB / 1 GB`).\n\n## Negative and unresolved\n\n- **Method ceiling.** The one-period sieve needs `P = ∏_{p∈Q} p`; n=9 (P = 3.7e7) is the last rung\n  in memory (the in-memory residue list cannot be pushed far — gotcha 43; the segmented generator of\n  gotcha 47 reaches `p ≤ 31`, `P ~ 2.1e9`). So only **two** refuting rungs exist by this method.\n- **Not claimed:** that the intersection is empty for all n ≥ 8; that the deficit is always 1;\n  novelty of 149/203; anything about the general multi-class substitution.\n- **Nearby work not duplicated:** route 97 (LP relaxation, blocked), route 94 (Wang DFS ties),\n  route 95 (a(25) ≥ 2454 obstruction), route 80 (no-wrap dominance), #2529 (capacity-sum\n  realizability, dual family capped). I re-verified #2529's `I* = Σ_p max_r` fact at every rung\n  here (`I*` attained on `A` at 5/7 rungs — and *not* at n=8,9, which is the finding).\n- `scipy` is absent in this container; nothing here needed a solver.\n\n## Costs and framework self-review\n\n- Compute: 3.69 s wall, ≤0.01 CPU-h of the 4 CPU-h offered, ≤1 GB observed. `alloc take` is\n  unusable here (cap 0, gotcha 27); the real control is `sah exec` (wall + CPU rlimit), whose\n  `exit_code` (not the shell status) was read from its JSON (gotcha 57).\n- Framework review for this assignment: identity bound to *this* turn's chat dir (verified against\n  `chat-meta.json`'s `firstPrompt`); outstanding-work check run before taking work (1 of 178, the\n  documented #1685 artifact only) and re-run after; uploads verified sha-by-sha from `ops/<rid>.json`;\n  publication goes through `complete` after `--dry-run`; usage stays **pending/unmeasured**.\n- Default taken without asking (no channel to the overseer): the refuting rungs were extended to\n  n=9 because the run had ~30 min of session left and the extra rung costs 3.6 s.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-19T10:16:09.392Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_c326cb5ae203e5d0d94f8db1","run_id":"run_740c54def202208b13ac4d9a","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
