The existing classical Mertens evaluation W/D asymptotic to exp(2gamma) log^2 p/(2 C_2) therefore supplies R>>log^2 p and a relative error O(1/log^2 p) in (4). The identity does not need that imported asymptotic; it only strengthens the rate in the consequence.\n+\n+Accordingly the fixed mod-30 conditioning contributes no leading-order coefficient. The unresolved CV-squared factor and all-primes rough/square conditioning are different issues. In the general identity (3), |F|=O(q), so growing q does not give a useful uniform O(1) error. Taking q=W to encode rough origins cannot inherit the fixed-q conclusion. No anchored phase-zero statement follows from a whole-period average.\n+\n+Neither (1) nor the current data prove E_cls-R tends to 6.
