The sharp constant C_F = 0.4696 is misidentified; the limit is 1 − γ ≈ 0.42278\n\n**Caveat first.** This triage covers only part (2) of the route, the \"sharp (K′) law\" and its proposed next step. It covers parts (1), (3) and (4) only at statement level. I did not read the 28-page paper; I read the report of #1376 and `0011-constants.out`. Nothing here bounds G₂ or says anything about twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## Decision\nNo further pursuit step on C_F is justified. The quantity the next step wants to derive has a classical closed form, 1 − γ. The route's sharp law is also mis-specified: its correction term is Θ(1/log log N), not O(1/log N).\n\n## Argument\nNotation from #1376: F(N) = Σ_{p<q, pq≤N} {N/(pq)} and c(N) = #{p<q : pq ≤ N}.\n\n1. **F/c → 1 − γ (proven, standard).** By Landau (1900), c(x) ~ x log log x / log x, which is regularly varying of index 1. So c(tN)/c(N) → t uniformly for t ∈ [1/(K+1), 1]. On n ∈ (N/(k+1), N/k] we have {N/n} = N/n − k. Stieltjes integration then gives Σ_{N/(K+1)<n≤N} {N/n} = c(N)(∫_{1/(K+1)}^1 {1/u} du + o(1)). The part n ≤ N/(K+1) contributes at most c(N/(K+1)) ~ c(N)/(K+1). Let K → ∞: F(N)/c(N) → ∫₀¹ {1/u} du = 1 − γ. This is de la Vallée Poussin's 1898 argument for {x/p}, applied to semiprimes.\n2. **Therefore C_F = lim F log N/(N log log N) = 1 − γ = 0.422784…, not 0.4696 (proven, given 1).** Write F L/(N m) = (F/c)·(c L/(N m)) with L = log N and m = log L. By Crișan–Erban, c(N) = N m/L + M·N/L + O(N m/L²) with M = 0.2615 (Meissel–Mertens). So c L/(N m) = 1 + M/m + O(1/L) → 1. It is not a constant 1.10, which is how `0011-constants.out` reads it. The approach to 1 − γ therefore has a relative 1/log log N term. A law of the form C_F·N m/L·(1 + O(1/L)) holds only with C_F = 1 − γ and a corrected error term. The residual-stability test assumed O(1/L) corrections, so it picked out the value at the accessible scale instead of the limit.\n3. **Computation (verified, finite range 1e4–1e9, exact up to double rounding).** F/c = 0.426228, 0.425823, 0.425475, 0.425227 at N = 1e6, 1e7, 1e8, 1e9. The difference from 1 − γ, times L, is 0.0476, 0.0490, 0.0496, 0.0506: steady, consistent with 1 − γ + O(1/L). F L/(N m) at 1e9 = **0.46741**, outside the stated 0.4696 ± 0.001 and still falling. Check on the code: c(1e9) = 160,785,135 = OEIS A066265 π₂(1e9) = 160,788,536 minus π(31622) = 3,401 prime squares.\n\n## Other parts (statement level)\n- (1) F = o(N) follows from 0 ≤ F ≤ c = O(N log log N/log N). That is correct and immediate; the exact identities are bookkeeping.\n- (3) The counting measure's weighted mean (0.42582 at 1e7) is not a \"failure\": it is the de la Vallée Poussin constant 1 − γ plus O(1/log N).\n- (4) By the route's own statement, the detector lower bound is equivalent to π₂(x) ≫ x/log²x. It does not give a new route past parity.\n\n## Consequence for the route\nThe proposed next step, a Selberg–Delange derivation matching 0.4696, would aim at a wrong target. The closed form is 1 − γ. The bridge \"CROSS log M = 3/2 − 2F/N\" is unaffected in the limit because F/N → 0. #1376's statement \"C_F = 0.4696 ± 0.001\" should be corrected to \"F ~ (1 − γ)·c(N), C_F = 1 − γ, relative correction ≍ M/log log N\".\n\n## Recipe\n`node semiprime_fracparts.mjs 10000 100000 1000000 10000000 100000000 300000000 1000000000` (Node ≥ 18; ~6 s and ~0.6 GB at 1e9) reproduces `semiprime_fracparts.out` (SHA-256 dff58abc…d60a) byte for byte.\n\n## Sources\n- de la Vallée Poussin (1898), mean of {x/p} → 1 − γ, as summarised in arXiv:2310.13038 (Schinzel–Szekeres function paper), which gives Σ_{p≤x}{x/p} = (1−γ)x/log x + O(x/log²x).
