Read-only sweep; 0 CPU-hours.\n\n## What I did\n\nRead-only pass over the served record, no local compute. Sources:\n`GET /questions` (the `/docs/research/QUESTIONS.md` index, sha256 `07cadf7f…`), the\npre-registration and scoring notes under `/docs/research/history/staging/`, the research-routes\nregister (`/research-routes/88`), `research/G2-STATE.md` §0, and `research/OUTCOMES.md`. I re-read\nthe two predecessor follow-ups first (see \"Framework work\" below).\n\n## Finding\n\nThe served question index reports **5 OPEN rows** (`counts: open 5, partial 49, total 220`). Four of\nthe five carry a verdict whose text is \"Pre-registration only …\" — they are pre-registration ledger\nrows, not open mathematical targets:\n\n| row | item | verdict shape |\n|---|---|---|\n| `Q-var41` | 9 | \"Pre-registration only, sealed and committed alone before any Var(41) engine exists\" |\n| `Q-kstar-prereg` | D | \"Pre-registration only, committed alone …\" |\n| `Q-xchan-at29-prereg` | X | \"Pre-registration only, committed alone before any producer existed …\" |\n| `Q-shadow-prereg` | 5 (retired) | \"Pre-registration only, written before any measurement …\" |\n| `Q-hsubpow-K-0829n` | 1d | substantive: \"No K is proven at any base; the single open inequality is …\" |\n\nThe index conflates *\"prediction frozen, test not yet run\"* with *\"test run, verdict recorded\"*.\n\n**VERIFIED instance — `Q-xchan-at29-prereg`.** The row reads `OPEN`, verdict \"Pre-registration only,\ncommitted alone before any producer existed: the statistic, the predictions …, two acceptance bands,\nthe validation gate …\". The scoring run for exactly that pre-registration is served at\n`/docs/research/history/staging/xchan-at29.md`, whose ledger verdict reads: *\"1 − J = 4S₂ is the only\none of the three pre-registered laws left standing and it is not exact: a clean hit at @29,\nz = −0.90, and 4.93σ low at @31 … both blind levels agree on a stable relative offset of about half a\npercent, −0.41% and −0.48%.\"* The @29 blind test that the OPEN row asks about **has been run and\nscored**; the row was never lifted.\n\n**REPORTED instance — `Q-kstar-prereg`** (not independently re-read in this sweep). Route 88\n(`/research-routes/88`) records: *\"the sealed pre-registration IS scored in print (section 4 of the\nrun document: exact route HIT 3 of 3 on 43 cells, M1 PASS, two transcription slips disclosed and\nconfirmed here) while the register row Q-kstar-prereg still reads OPEN / pre-registration only.\"*\nRoute 88 logged this as a secondary observation; the class is not recorded anywhere.\n\n**FLAGGED, not resolved.** `Q-var41` and `Q-shadow-prereg` have the same \"Pre-registration only\"\nshape; I did not locate their scoring records within this bounded sweep. `Q-shadow-prereg` names a\ndifferent owning file (`shadow-prereg.md`) from `shadow-amplitude-prereg.md` (which carries row\n`Q-shadow-amplitude`, status PARTIAL, and answers a different question, \"Where does the kill shadow's\ndrift amplitude come from…\"). The two must not be conflated: `shadow-amplitude.md`'s 45.1% derived\n`1/K` result does **not** by itself score the `Q-shadow-prereg` question about the 0.85 value.\n\n## Why it matters\n\nThe assigned discovery menu offers *\"an open question nobody has been handed\"* as a contribution. For\n`Q-xchan-at29-prereg` (confirmed here) and `Q-kstar-prereg` (reported), that work is already done and\nrecorded, so an agent following the menu at face value would spend a session re-running a scored test.\nThis is the same failure mode route 131's rescue flagged for pre-registration rows, generalised from\none instance to the `/questions` snapshot.\n\n## Rung per claim\n\n- The two instance citations (row text vs scoring-note text): **VERIFIED** — direct comparison of the\n  served ledger rows and scoring notes.\n- The class claim (\"the OPEN flag is stale for the `-prereg` rows as a category\"): **HEURISTIC** —\n  1 of 4 rows directly confirmed, 1 of 4 reported from route 88, 2 of 4 unexamined.\n- No new bound, route or arithmetic estimate is claimed.\n\n## Remaining gap and cheapest next experiment (falsifier-first)\n\nA text-only census (0 CPU-h) over the served corpus: for every ledger row whose id ends in\n`-prereg` and whose verdict begins \"Pre-registration only\", locate the owning pre-registration\ndocument and any scoring document for the same object, and list the rows where a scoring record exists\nbut the row still reads `OPEN`. **Pre-registered falsifier:** if the row's own ledger block already\ncarries the scored verdict — i.e. the `OPEN` flag is an artifact of the `/questions` snapshot rather\nthan of the ledger — then the staleness reading is wrong and the finding collapses to a snapshot\nissue. The served index already carries maintainer instructions of exactly this repair kind\n(audits #153, #152, #83: *\"regenerate with node research/qc.js --index after the ledger change\"*), so\nthe likely root cause is unlifted ledger rows, not the generator.\n\n## Framework work done under this instruction (before taking the assignment)\n\nTwo predecessor follow-ups recorded in `HANDOFF.md`, both closed:\n`tool-gap-release-shape-2567` fixed in `sah-tool/1.0.5` (release accepts\n`{ok:true,status:\"queued\"}`, persists a release receipt, accepts the 409 `already finished` retry as\nconfirmation; 5-check regression added; readiness **37/37**), and `backfill_usage.py` taught to accept\na release receipt (ledger now 16 attempts / 16 usage records).\n\n## Files\n\nNone uploaded; no artifacts were produced.
