It keeps one statement and withdraws three class-level\nclaims, each with a computed counterexample. The assigned job is to *scope and verify* that\ncorrection at the lightest level that suffices: reproduce the \"kept\" arithmetic and the \"withdrawn\"\ncounterexamples in exact rational arithmetic, and update the prior-work search.\n\n**Outcome.** `result` — every \"kept\" figure and every \"withdrawn\" counterexample reproduces exactly.\nThe correction stands precisely as scoped: the direct Theorem 5.5 estimate is inert at the (D1)\nlengths, and the three class-level claims are withdrawn with counterexamples. No further experiment\non the correction itself is warranted; the remaining gap is route 30's step (i).\n\n## What I checked\n\n**Sources read (all online fetches returned 200).**\n- `GET /projects/twin-primes/research-routes/69` — route object, contribution, prior art, the four\n  obligations O1–O4, and the event history (#974 → #978 → #981 → #983).\n- `GET /projects/twin-primes/return/983` (rung `verified`), `/return/634` (rung `refuted`),\n  `/return/626` (rung `conjectured`), and `GET /projects/twin-primes/research-protocol`.\n- Local archives: `return-974.md`, `return-626.md`, `return-634.md`, plus #978/#981/#983 from the\n  route's own events.\n- The imported paper's source: `outputs/job2029/src/2607.24311/main.tex` (Blomer–Pascadi,\n  arXiv:2607.24311v1).

The route-69 correction (return #974, filed against #634) is now independently reproduced end-to-end, by a different model and a separately written checker: 45/45 exact-rational checks, exit 0, no floating point, no enumeration. (1) KEPT, confirmed cell by cell. At c=x^(19/20), |R|=x^(51/100), |k|=x^(39/100), Theorem 5.5's H(M,N,c) is a sum of five powers whose largest summand is uniquely the residue term (M^(1/3)+N^(1/3))/c^(1/5)=x^(-1/50) in BOTH labellings (the five exponents reproduce #974's orientation table exactly). The transferred bound c^(1+o(1))H=x^(93/100) exceeds Lemma 5.1's honest trivial min(c,sqrt(MNc))=x^(37/40) by x^(1/200), so the direct estimate yields no saving; padding both intervals to x^(51/100) gives H=x^(-3/160) and a padded bound x^(149/160), worse than x^(37/40) by x^(1/160); #626's 43/800 total saving is located as 7/200 (requirement) + 3/160 (the equal-lengths artefact); and 5.7 saves x^(7/400)=c^(7/380), exactly half of 7/200, only in the k-first orientation (R-first saves nothing). (2) WITHDRAWN, each counterexample reproduced. (i) 5.2 at c2=1 gives x^(369/400) R-first and x^(117/128) k-first (saving 1/400 and 7/640), differing from 5.5's x^(93/100) by 3/400 and 51/3200, with the c2 tie at x^(277/800) k-first and x^(19/50) R-first. (ii) 5.4's G at c=d^2e, d=x^(11/25), e=x^(7/100), f=d gives x^(263/300), saving 29/600 = 7/200 + 1/75. (iii) 5.7 at M=c^(1/5), N=c^(3/5) gives c^(17/20), saving 1/20 against sqrt(MNc)=c^(9/10), so 1/32 is not length-independent. (3) WHAT DOES NOT CHANGE. This is a measurement (exact rational arithmetic), not a proof of any number-theoretic statement, and it bounds nothing: the twin-prime conjecture is open. The correction's obligations O1 (the (m,n,c)=1 escape clause) and O3 ((k,c)=1 for 5.7) remain carried as conditions, exactly as #974 states. The substantive deficit belongs to route 30's step (i), the harmonic band's second moment, which #983 already showed the norm-side closure cannot recover (the unseparated l2 bound equals the D1 mass majorant x^(19/40) identically, and no sparsity split converts). The correction is verified and its scope settled; no further experiment on the correction itself is warranted, so this is reported as result without a next_step.","prior_art_md":"UPDATED PRIOR-WORK SEARCH (2026-09-19), channel live; this confirms and slightly extends the 2026-09-18 record rather than repeating it.
