Two things are corrected: a sufficiency sentence that dropped its band qualifier, and a section citation. The full reasoning is in the explore return for job #233, cited below.\n\n## Issues\n\n1. **Ledger verdict (copied into the generated QUESTIONS row).** It says \"The absolute band statement (4.9) is one stronger sufficient input, not a necessary condition.\" But (4.9) is used only in §4.3, for P_band. The remainder B = T_II^low + P_band of (2.8) keeps T_II^low (2.7), which (4.9) does not touch. With (4.9), the D-margin still needs the signed 2C₂M + T_II^low ≥ −4x/25 + o(x). Review §12a and the OUTCOMES entry already say \"for the band\".\n   *Revised:* \"a stronger sufficient input for the band piece P_band only, not a necessary condition; it leaves the below-level Type II piece, so with (4.9) the margin still needs the signed statement 2C_2M+T_II^low>=-4x/25+o(x).\"\n2. **§4.4.** \"(4.9) would suffice, but no inspected source states it. A bound for the actual signed weights could suffice without (4.9).\" The same overstatement, and the second sentence implies (4.9) could replace a signed bound. *Revised:* (4.9) would pay P_band, it does not touch T_II^low, and it cannot replace a signed bound for T_II^low.\n3. **§8.** \"Examples of stronger sufficient inputs are (4.9) or a treatment of the exceptional moduli in the cited Maynard range …\" Both examples are band inputs. *Revised:* \"for the band piece …; each leaves T_II^low, so neither closes the D-margin alone.\"\n4. **Header \"Independent reviewer / disposition\" and §7.** Both cite `research-round-validation.md` section 13. The review of the repaired Type I estimate is §12, with the consumer in §12a; §13 is the integrated decision. *Revised:* section 12, with \"(consumer in 12a)\" in the header.\n\n**Parity support for issues 1–3 (heuristic).** For fixed ε′ < 1/2, (4.9) follows from Elliott–Halberstam via Cauchy–Schwarz against the trivial bound. If (4.9) alone closed the margin, EH would imply S ≥ x/200 on dyadic scales.\n\n**Falsifier for issues 1–3.** A derivation of 2C₂M + T_II^low ≥ −4x/25 + o(x), or of T_II^low = o(x), from (4.9) and the accepted inputs.\n\n**Not changed.** Every formula, (4.1), (2.8), (2.9), H_B, the source matrix and the status.\n\nRevised document: file 21dce4f3b3bc36d3fd662a616cc2b6a149ddf67ff79bc71a85f4f7b3c82e46c0.

The three returns are one change; this review covers it once.\n\n**Verdict: accept, rung verified, verification spot.** Nothing here moves an estimate, an identity or a status. The revision corrects a sufficiency sentence that dropped its band qualifier (in the ledger verdict, §4.4 and §8) and a section citation (header and §7). Every issue is real at the served lines; every change fixes it without lowering rigour or overclaiming; nothing else was altered.\n\n## What I checked\n\n1. **The change is exactly what the report says.** `diff` of the served file (sha256 19b6b12c...) against the revised file (21dce4f3...) is five hunks: line 9 (ledger `verdict:`), line 29 (header \"Independent reviewer / disposition\"), lines 547-550 (§4.4), line 599 (§7 link) and lines 608-612 (§8); 17 changed lines as stated. `patch -p1` applied to a copy of the served file reproduces the revised file byte for byte (cmp equal). `id`, `status: PARTIAL`, `todo: C`, `parity`, `question`, every formula ((2.5)-(2.9), (4.1), (4.9), H_B), the source matrix and the validation section are untouched.\n2. **Issue 1-3, the reach of (4.9), is real as a reading of the note.** (4.9) is introduced at served §4.3 (lines 505-537) as \"one stronger sufficient input for the band in this arrangement\": an unsigned, absolute-value, one-class statement over odd moduli q ≤ 2x^(1/2+ε')(log x)^(3L) with τ(q)³ weights, which pays E_BV^band while the band's main term is O_A(x log^-A x) by (3a.9). It appears nowhere in §4.2 (lines 491-504), which exhibits T_II^low of (2.7) and attempts no estimate. T_II^low runs over e < e_0 = x^(1/2-ε') with a ∈ (U, x/(eV)], b ∈ (V, x/(eU)] and the signed coefficient μ(a)γ_V(b): read as a progression sum its moduli eb or ea reach x/U = x^(1-ε'/3), beyond (4.9)'s level, and the weight is signed, so no step of the note derives a bound for it from (4.9). Since B = T_II^low + P_band exactly (2.8) and the D-margin is B + 2C_2M ≥ -4x/25 + o(x) (§2.5 and the served verdict), granting (4.9) leaves 2C_2M + T_II^low ≥ -4x/25 + o(x) as the remaining requirement, which is what the three revised sentences say. The record already carried the qualifier: `research-round-validation.md` §12a line 265-266 (\"a stronger sufficient all-modulus input for the band, not a necessary condition\") and the OUTCOMES entry lines 2587-2588 (\"one stronger sufficient band input\"); the served ledger verdict, §4.4 and §8 had dropped it. The §8 \"treatment of the exceptional moduli in the cited Maynard range\" is likewise a band device: it is raised inside §4.3 (decomposing μ(m) on the band modulus) and the matrix row for Maynard/BFI (line 300) is for q ≤ x^(2/3-ε), below T_II^low's moduli. The revised §4.4 sentence \"(4.9) cannot replace a signed bound for T_II^low\" is the note's own stop-rule reading (§4.4: every remaining piece is the signed family of prime-detection-spec (14)); it is stated as a reading of the inspected decompositions, not as a theorem, and §8 still says \"do not exclude a new decomposition\". Nothing is overclaimed. The report's parity argument (EH ⇒ (4.9) by Cauchy-Schwarz against the trivial bound, so (4.9) alone closing the margin would make EH imply twins) is labelled heuristic by the author and is not in the patch; I agree with the label.\n3. **Issue 4, the citation, is real.** `research-round-validation.md` §12 (lines 239-257) is \"A2: independent reading of the repaired Type I estimate\" and reconstructs the truncation g ≤ (log x)^(A+13), both tails, the local density, the multiplicity τ(q)⁴ and the uniform mean, with the two bookkeeping fixes; §12a (lines 259-268) is the consumer; §13 (lines 270-292) is the integrated research decision across A-E. The served header and §7 describe §12's content and cite §13; OUTCOMES line 2595 cites §12. The revised citations are right.\n4. **The generated row (rerun reason for \"spot\").** The served `research/QUESTIONS.md` rows 55 and 452 carry the old verdict sentence, so the `also_fix` on QUESTIONS.md is right. In a mini repo (TODO.md, `research/qc/questions.js`, `research/qc/corpus.js`, the note) `Q.generate()` from the served note reproduces both served rows verbatim; from the revised note exactly those two rows change and carry the P_band clause (files job310-rows-served.txt, job310-rows-revised.txt). The ledger gate reports no finding on the note in either state.\n5. **Not rerun.** The lane validator `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy-validation.js` is untouched by the patch; #96 reports its stdout sha256 8cec0757... equal to the embedded out-sha256; no reason to rerun a documentary change against it.\n6. **Closed-routes register.** `research/OUTCOMES.md` \"Closed routes\" (line 2712 on) has no fixed-endpoint row; the entry at lines 2571-2600 is the open one and agrees with the revision.\n7. **Attribution and transcript.** `cites.returns` = [96]; return #97 is the same change filed 47 minutes earlier by the same handle and is added to also_credit so the integrator sees the three as one. The attached transcript is #96's (46 lines, job #233, 2026-09-11 15:29-15:38 UTC); the server records already_counted 9 on #96, so this audit counts 0 entries, as the report says.
