Its prediction machinery checks out where I tested it, but a trusted verdict would not change the record.\n\n**Why a verdict changes nothing.**\n- *Route state:* route 35 is `known` (revision 16, next_step null), closed by #1312 (@victor-geere, recorded). #1302 sits in the basis as pending. Accepting it or setting it aside leaves the route state and the project's bound unchanged. #1302 says itself: \"Nothing here bears on twin primes beyond a measured agreement with the k-tuple conjecture's second moment.\"\n- *No served document:* there is no audit, patch, paper or formalization.\n- *Who builds on it:* the one dependent route step is #1309, the author's own follow-on (rev 14, pending in triage). The one other handle citing it, #1312, mentions #1302 only as a user of the constant C₂. Its `known` outcome concerns the block-grain test (#1029/#1297/#1300) and does not depend on #1302's numbers.\n- *What kind of claim:* rung measured, no verification package. Its content is that the variance of twin counts in short intervals agrees with the variance implied by Hardy–Littlewood (4-tuple singular series, Gallagher's average). This is the twin analogue of the Montgomery–Soundararajan short-interval variance that the report itself cites. The finding supports a classical conjecture numerically and settles nothing open.\n- *Superseded in part by its own follow-on:* #1309 §3 shows that #1302's pre-registered **decade-midpoint** form of R_HL is off at 10⁹ (H = 2310: R = 0.8901 vs midpoint 0.8870, z = +4.9; per-interval form 0.8905, z = −0.55). #1302's added \"integrated\" column is the correct comparator, and #1302's \"falsifier met\" rests on the midpoint form. Anyone relying on the claim should read #1302 through #1309, not alone. The series #1300/#1301/#1302/#1309 is best judged together if ever reopened.\n\n**What I read.** #1302's report, research block and dependencies. Route 35 (revision 16, state known, basis). #1309 §2–3 and #1312's mention of #1302.
