What was done\n\nThe record's covering run is consumed by routes 98/100 (the boundary sandwich) and 105 (the certificate's K*). Before proposing anything new I rebuilt it from the definitions in the served record, independently of the record's own scripts, and gated it on five published values (`kstar.py`, python3 + numpy; exact integer arithmetic, full-period enumeration, no sampling, no reuse of any cited script).\n\nDefinition used, read off returns #1246/#1250/#1267 and reproduced numerically: T_P slots are the residues r mod P with gcd(r, P) = gcd(r+2, P) = 1; the period is M = P·∏R; the slot word lists every x = r + kP in increasing order, read cyclically; x is R-killed iff x ≡ 0 or x ≡ −2 (mod q) for some q ∈ R; **K\\*(P,R) is the maximal length of a cyclic run of consecutive killed slots.** The slot counts confirm it: K\\*(390,{7,11,19}) is measured \"over 48279 slots\" and 48279 = 33·1463 = (33 twin slots per 390)·(570570/390). **[VERIFIED]**\n\n**Custody gates (all five PASS, 0.1 s).** K\\*(30,{7,11,19}) = 9 and K\\*(390,{7,11,19}) = 8 (return #1246's witness) **[VERIFIED]**; K\\*(30,{7,11,13,19}) = 10 on the same witness (return #1250) **[VERIFIED]**; K\\*(30,{7,13,19,23}) = 12 and K\\*(330,{7,13,19,23}) = 10, a drop of 2, the value that refuted the sharp-drop conjecture (return #1267) **[VERIFIED]**. One defect of my own is disclosed: the first draft measured the run on the killed positions instead of the alive ones and returned 7 where the record has 9; the custody gate caught it before any new number was taken, and the corrected line is documented in the producer.\n\nSweeps run (all exact, full period):\n\n| sweep | range | rows | wall |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| record shape | P ∈ {30,210,2310}, p ≤ 47, \\|R\\| ≤ 3, M ≤ 2.2e6 | 1299 | 9.6 s |\n| killer dial | P ∈ {30,210,2310}, \\|R\\| ≤ 3, q ≤ 53, M·q ≤ 4.0e7 | 4856 | 516 s |\n| extended | P ∈ {30,210,2310}, p ≤ 97, \\|R\\| ∈ {2,3,4}, M ≤ 2.2e6 | 2959 | 28.5 s |\n\nThe record-shaped sweep reproduces return #1250's result: 0 violations of the left leg K\\*(Pp,R) ≥ K\\*(P,R) − 1, 0 of the right leg K\\*(Pp,R) ≤ K\\*(P,R∪{p}) − 1, 0 of route 100's proven drop bound ⌊2·K\\*(P,R)/p⌋, and the same drop histogram shape (at P = 30, \\|R\\| ≤ 3: {−4:8, −3:33, −2:85, −1:123, 0:134, 1:1}). **[VERIFIED]**\n\n## 1. The result that is new: the two dials have opposite sign structure\n\nK\\*(P,R) has two arguments, so it has two dials. The record has laws for both, but never states their **sign structure**, and that is what decides where an upper bound can come from.\n\n**Theorem (PROVEN here).** Let P be squarefree, R a finite set of primes with gcd(∏R, P) = 1, and q a prime with q ∤ P·∏R. Then\n  **K\\*(P, R ∪ {q}) ≥ K\\*(P, R).**\n\n*Proof.* T_P slots are determined by x mod P, so the slot word has period P. The R-killed indicator of a slot depends on x mod ∏R, and ∏R | M := P·∏R with P | M; hence the R-killed indicator, read as a function of the slot-word index, is M-periodic. On the modulus M·q the slot word is therefore the M-word repeated q times and the R-killed indicator is one M-period repeated q times, so the maximal cyclic R-killed run on the longer modulus is exactly K\\*(P,R) (a cyclic run shorter than M reduces, by periodicity, to a run of the same length inside one M-period; a run of length ≥ M forces every slot to be killed and the value M in both words). Passing from R to R ∪ {q} only adds killed slots, which can never shorten a maximal run. ∎\n\n**Measured strictness.** The theorem gives ≥; the sweep says the inequality is **strict in every row**: the killer-dial rise A_q − A = K\\*(P,R∪{q}) − K\\*(P,R) takes only the values 1…9 over 4856 rows (1:1477, 2:1863, 3:922, 4:354, 5:119, 6:61, 7:53, 8:6, 9:1), never 0, never negative. **[MEASURED]** 0 counterexamples, and the falsifier is cheap: one row with rise ≤ 0 kills it.\n\n**The two dials in one table (measured, same sweeps):**\n\n| dial | move | observed change in K\\* | sign |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| tile (base) | (P, R) → (P·p, R) | −1 … +4 | **mixed** |\n| killer | (P, R) → (P, R ∪ {q}) | **+1 … +9** | **strictly positive** |\n\nSo widening the base can *lengthen* the maximal covering run by up to 4 in this range, while adding a killer only ever lengthens it — and that is a theorem now, not an observation.\n\n**Why this matters for the programme.** Every proven lever in the record's boundary sandwich *lowers* K\\* or *moves a prime between the dials* (route 98: K\\*(Pp,R) ≤ K\\*(P,R∪{p}) − 1; route 100: drop ≤ ⌊2K\\*(P,R)/p⌋). None of them bounds K\\* **from above across a chain step**, which is exactly route 105's stated central uncertainty (\"nothing in the record bounds K\\*(s) from above except by exhaustive block search\"). Since the killer dial provably cannot decrease K\\*, an upper bound on K\\* can only come from the *tile* dial — and the tile dial is two-signed, so its *rise* is the entire unmodelled direction. That is the route below.\n\n## 2. One measured negative, disclosed\n\nThe killer marginal is **not** a one-number law. Grouping the 4856 killer rows by (A, q): 110 distinct pairs, 88 of them carrying more than one rise. Adding P to the key does not fix it: 227 distinct (A, q, P) triples, 164 still split. So the marginal needs the arrangement, not just the run length — the same shape of result as route 99's refutation of positional summaries, now on the killer dial. **[MEASURED]**\n\nSeparately, on the extended sweep the \"the argmax run determines K\\* after the base change\" prediction holds on 2024 of 2959 rows and fails on 935. Route 98's weaker next-step lemma (loss ≤ the number of p-forked slots in the span) has **0 violations in all 1299 + 2959 rows**, so that lemma survives and the sharper version does not. **[MEASURED]**\n\nScope disclosed: my extended sweep caps the modulus at 2.2e6, which excludes the |R| = 4 row that carries the drop of 2 (#1267's (30, 11, {7,13,19,23}), M = 1.31e7); that row is present here only through the custody gates. The tile dial's observed maximum rise of 4 is therefore a **lower bound on the true maximum**, not the maximum.\n\n## 3. The route\n\n**Object.** The tile-dial rise r(P, p, R) := K\\*(P·p, R) − K\\*(P, R) for squarefree P, p ∤ P, gcd(∏R, P) = 1 — the amount by which widening the base *lengthens* the maximal covering run.\n\n**Step that would have to hold.** A rise bound K\\*(P·p, R) ≤ K\\*(P, R) + r(p, K\\*(P,R)) with r explicit and small (the record's drop side is ⌊2L/p⌋; the rise side has no analogue, and the sweep's floor is 4 in the range tested, so any candidate r must clear that). Composed over the primes in (s, 2s], this turns route 105's fold-by-fold race into a bound on K\\*(2s) from K\\*(s) alone.\n\n**Nearest prior work.** Route 98's boundary sandwich (proven legs: left K\\*(Pp,R) ≥ K\\*(P,R) − 1, right K\\*(Pp,R) ≤ K\\*(P,R∪{p}) − 1); route 100's proven drop bound ⌊2K\\*(P,R)/p⌋ and its refuted sharp-drop conjecture; route 105's criterion K\\*(s) < A(s) and its stated absence of any upper-bound lever; return #1264's drop histogram; return #1246's and #1267's witnesses.

The measured ceiling of 4 is a lower bound on the true maximum, because the sweep's modulus cap excluded the |R| = 4 configuration that carries the drop of 2, and because P = 30030 and |R| = 5 were not swept at all; a rise law fitted to this data alone could therefore be an artefact of the range. Second: the composite across several base primes is not measured -- this return measures single-prime extensions only, and a rise bound must compose over the primes in (s, 2s] to reach a chain step, which the record's own product-form experience for kill runs (closed 2026-08-30: the composition is a product, not a sum) says is the step most likely to fail. Third: the strictness of the killer dial's monotonicity is measured, not proved, so whether it can be 0 (equal runs) in some untested configuration is open -- one row with rise 0 would not break the theorem, only the strictness claim stated with it. Fourth: the two dials do not commute, since growing the tile by the entering primes removes exactly the slots the killer set would kill, so the bracket between K*(s) and K*(s) plus the composite rise is a route, not a derivation.","contribution_md":"The covering run K*(P,R) that route 105's criterion K*(s) < m*(s) and route 23's doubling certificate consume has two arguments and therefore two dials: widening the base (P -> P*p at fixed R) and adding a killer (R -> R u {q} at fixed P). This return proves that the killer dial is monotone non-decreasing -- K*(P,R u {q}) >= K*(P,R), one line from the fact that the T_P slot word has period P while the R-killed indicator has period M = P*prod(R), so on modulus M*q the R-killed pattern is one M-period repeated and adding a killer only adds killed slots -- and measures it to be strictly increasing in all 4856 swept rows, by 1 to 9. The tile dial, by contrast, is two-signed in the same sweeps: it shortens K* by at most 1 while lengthening it by up to 4. Consequence for the route's goal: every proven lever in the record (route 98's right leg K*(Pp,R) <= K*(P,R u {p}) - 1, route 100's proven drop floor(2K*(P,R)/p)) either lowers K* or moves a prime between the dials, and the killer dial cannot lower K* at all -- so an upper bound on K* across a chain step can only come from the tile dial's rise, which is exactly the direction nothing in the record or the searched literature bounds. This is the missing ingredient behind route 105's stated central uncertainty that nothing bounds K*(s) from above except exhaustive block search, and it reframes the certificate's near-tie at s = 32 and its failure at s = 34/36 as the balance of one strictly-increasing and one two-signed dial rather than as a boundary accident."},"next_step":{"method":"Extend the exact rise sweep past this return's modulus cap.

Disclosed negatives: the killer marginal is not a function of (K*(P,R), q) (88 of 110 pairs split) nor of (K*(P,R), q, P) (164 of 227 split); and the 'argmax run determines K* after the base change' prediction holds on 2024 of 2959 rows and fails on 935, while route 98's weaker forked-slot lemma holds with 0 violations.
