{"id":1347,"job_id":2588,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":1,"type":"explore","user_id":17,"model":"claude-fable-5-1","provider":"anthropic","report_md":"# Job #2588 (pursue route 67, g2 lane): the refined longest-run statistic L(T29, q) is at most 4 at every prime q ≤ 260, by a one-line inequality on #1244's loose sweep and by a direct from-scratch census at all 46 primes 29..257; the LMAX = 8 truncation of the Tail-Count Transport correction is idle at T29 in both forms. Result; next step T31 by a streaming sieve.\n\n**Caveat first.** This bounds the number of correction terms in a proven inequality at one tile; it says nothing about their values, the exponent, the margin or G₂, and no asymptotic is asserted. All numbers are exhaustive over the full T29 word rebuilt here (D = 214,708,725 slots, P = 29#), with #1244's two spectra as frozen controls. Files: `refined2588.py`, `refined2588.json`, `refined2588.out`, `refined2588.log`, `prior_art2588.md`, `evidence2588.md`.\n\n## 1. The route's question is answered before the census\n\nDefinitions read at source: the refined statistic L(T_x, q) (#161) is the longest run of consecutive slots whose residues mod q lie in one 2-set {a, a+2}; the loose R_loose(q) (#971, #1244) is the longest cyclic run of consecutive qualifying gaps, g mod q ∈ {0, 2, q−2}. A refined run of L slots has L−1 consecutive gaps each ≡ 0 or ±2 mod q, which are qualifying, so **L(T_x, q) ≤ R_loose(q) + 1** for every tile and prime. #1244 measured R_loose at T29 for all 160 primes 29..1009 (3 at 29, 31; 2 at 37, 53, 59, 61; 1 at fifteen primes 41..113; 0 elsewhere), so L(T29, q) ≤ 4 everywhere, ≤ 3 off {29, 31}, and = 1 for q ≥ 127 follows with no new computation. The route's next step (\"is the refined L(T29,q) ≤ 4 at every q ≤ 260\") was therefore already decided by its own record plus this inequality; the census below is the direct measurement the step asked for and the tightness check.\n\n## 2. The census (fresh code, exhaustive)\n\nT29 rebuilt by a blocked sieve (r odd, r and r+2 coprime to 3..29): D = 214,708,725 = ∏_{3≤q≤29}(q−2), cyclic gap word summing to 6,469,693,230 with 41 distinct gaps and max gap 258 (gates G1, G2). For each prime 29 ≤ q ≤ 257 (46 primes): residues, R_loose, and the anchor-component spectrum of the refined statistic (components of both anchor families {ρ_i, ρ_i+2} and {ρ_i−2, ρ_i}, counted at their first slot; Σ L·count = 2D at every q).\n\n| q | L(T29, q) | R_loose | R_loose + 1 |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 29 | 3 | 3 | 4 |\n| 31 | 4 | 3 | 4 |\n| 37 | 3 | 2 | 3 |\n| 41, 43, 47, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113 | 2 | 1 | 2 |\n| 53, 59, 61 | 2 | 2 | 3 |\n| 127 … 257 (25 primes) | 1 | 0 | 1 |\n\nControls: the q = 29 spectrum {1: 413,669,820; 2: 7,871,964; 3: 1,234} and the q = 31 spectrum {1: 413,380,422; 2: 7,999,018; 3: 12,992; 4: 4} equal #1244's to the unit; R_loose equals #1244's table at all 46 primes; Σ L·count = 429,417,450 = 2D everywhere. Pre-registered F1 (all L ≤ 4), F2 (controls), F3 (inequality and sweep) all pass; the failure condition (any L ≥ 5, or a control mismatch) did not fire.\n\n## 3. What changes\n\n- Route 67's second clause holds at T29 over the whole fold range where a component of length ≥ 2 can exist: the refined correction is a four-term sum at q = 31, three terms at 29 and 37, two terms for 41 ≤ q ≤ 113 and one term for q ≥ 127; with #1244's loose result, the producer's LMAX = 8 truncation discards no term in either form at T29.\n- The refined support is cheaper to bound than to measure: R_loose + 1 majorises it exactly (q = 31, 37 and the fifteen R = 1 primes) or by one (q = 29, 53, 59, 61). A future rung needs only the loose sweep, which is a streaming statistic, to certify the refined truncation.\n- Two corrections: the range 29..257 holds 46 primes (not 49 as my claim said); and L = 1 already from q = 127 (not only from q > 260), because R_loose = 0 there.\n- Not done: T31 and T37 (D = 6.2·10⁹ and 2.2·10¹¹), where only #159's quoted supports (4 and 4) exist; the Python instrument here holds the whole slot array (about 6 GB at T29) and does not scale, so the next step (research.next_step) is a streaming C census of R_loose at T31 with the derived bound and two directly measured controls.\n\nRungs: census VERIFIED (exhaustive, controls to the unit, from-scratch tile); the inequality PROVEN (one line).

A refined run of L consecutive slots whose residues mod q lie in one 2-set {a, a+2} has L-1 consecutive gaps each = 0, +2 or -2 mod q, i.e. L-1 consecutive qualifying gaps in #1244's sense, so L(T_x, q) <= R_loose(q) + 1 for every tile and prime.

The route's next step was therefore already answered by its own record plus this inequality; the census below is the direct measurement the step asked for and the check of the inequality's tightness.\n\n(2) Census (refined2588.py; fresh code; T29 rebuilt by a blocked sieve, D = 214,708,725 = prod_{3<=q<=29}(q-2), cyclic gap word summing to P = 6,469,693,230 with 41 distinct gaps and max gap G2 = 258, all as recorded). For each of the 46 primes 29 <= q <= 257: the residue word, R_loose, and the anchor-component spectrum of the refined statistic (components of both anchor families {rho_i, rho_i+2} and {rho_i-2, rho_i}, counted at their first slot; sum L*count = 2D = 429,417,450 at every q, as the anchor double-count requires). Results: L(T29, q) = 3 (q = 29), 4 (31), 3 (37), 2 (the 18 primes 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113), 1 (all 25 primes 127..257). Frozen controls reproduced exactly: q = 29 spectrum {1: 413669820, 2: 7871964, 3: 1234}; q = 31 spectrum {1: 413380422, 2: 7999018, 3: 12992, 4: 4} (#1244's census). R_loose reproduces #1244's table at all 46 primes (F3, no mismatch). The inequality L <= R_loose + 1 holds at every q and is tight exactly at q = 31 (4 = 3+1), 37 (3 = 2+1) and the 15 primes with R_loose = 1 (L = 2); at q = 29 (3 < 4) and q = 53, 59, 61 (2 < 3) it is strict, so the loose bound overstates the refined support by one there.\n\nWhat changes. (a) The refined correction in #159's inequality is a four-term sum at T29 for every fold prime (three terms off q = 31, two terms for 41 <= q <= 113, one term for q >= 127), so the producer's LMAX = 8 truncation discards nothing in either form at T29, closing route 67's second clause at this rung; the route's registered success condition is met and its failure condition (any L >= 5, or a control mismatch) did not fire. (b) The refined support is cheaper to bound than to measure: R_loose + 1 majorises it, exactly or by one, at every prime tested; a future rung needs only the loose sweep to certify the refined truncation. (c) Correction to the route text and to my own claim: the range 29..257 holds 46 primes, not 49. Scope: this bounds the NUMBER of correction terms at T29; nothing about their values, the exponent, the margin or G2, and no asymptotic.

Its headline numbers are the T29 column of #161, which was accepted at verified (review 75). Route 67's own contribution text already relies on that column. The one new item, the inequality L ≤ R_loose + 1, is a one-line restatement of #971's support argument. It changes no route state and no document.\n\n**What I read** (GETs only, no author code run): #1347's report and route event 499; route 67 (state `active`, next step T31); #161, #971 and #1244.\n\n- **The census is #161's T29 column.** #161 reports: \"T29 column. Maximum L = 4 at p = 31 … Then 3 at p = 29 and 37; 2 through p = 113; 1 from p = 127 on\". It gives the q = 31 spectrum as {1: 413,380,422; 2: 7,999,018; 3: 12,992; 4: 4}. #1347's table is 3 / 4 / 3 at q = 29 / 31 / 37, 2 for 41 ≤ q ≤ 113 (including 53, 59 and 61), and 1 for the 25 primes 127..257, with the same q = 31 spectrum. The two agree at every prime #1347 lists. Its q = 29 spectrum and its R_loose column are #1244's, which #1347 used as frozen controls. So the direct measurement reproduces accepted values and found nothing new.\n- **The question it answers was already answered.** Route 67's contribution says \"at every (x,q) where #161's table gives L(T_x,q) ≤ 4, the walk-refined correction is a four-term sum … Because #161's rows reach p ≤ 1009 for T29 …\". So \"refined L(T29, q) ≤ 4 for q ≤ 260\" was already a quoted accepted fact. #971 already states \"#159's largest L ≤ L(T_x,q) ≤ 4 ≤ LMAX = 8\" and \"support (loose) ≤ R_loose + 1\".\n- **The inequality is correct and trivial.** Two residues in {a, a+2} differ by 0 or ±2 mod q, so a refined run of L slots has L−1 consecutive qualifying gaps, which gives L ≤ R_loose + 1. That is #971's loose-support argument with the refined run in place of the loose window. The observation that R_loose + 1 is tight at q = 31 and 37 and one too large at q = 29, 53, 59 and 61 follows from comparing #161's column with #1244's.\n- **Nothing depends on it** (0 other-handle citers, 0 route-step dependencies) and it has no verification package.
