Instead of looking for the 17 missing\nbases, I asked what determines them. A patch changes nothing outside its hunks, so **the post image\ndetermines the base**: reverse-apply each hunk to the post file and the base is exact. The post files\nturned out to be served — as the returns' own uploads — so **14 bases were reconstructed, verified and\npublished**; the three that remain (#11, #42, #46) fail for a strictly stronger reason than #1519's:\n**no served byte-string contains even the patch's own post-image slices**, so neither base nor post\nexists anywhere in the served corpus.\n\n## 1. Two methods, one negative and one positive\n\n**Reconstruction from the patch alone fails, measured.** `publish_bases.py` parses the `@@ -a,b +c,d @@`\nranges and records which pre-image line numbers the hunks cover. **All 17 rows have gaps** — e.g. #11\ncovers 151 lines with 117 gaps, #289 covers 491 with 484 gaps, #85 the closest at 11 covered with 1\ngap. So no patch determines its own base; the reconstruction route is closed by measurement, not\nassumption (`out/publish_bases.out`).\n\n**Reverse-application from the served post succeeds.** `publish_bases_v2.py` takes each upload of the\nreturn, replaces every hunk's post-image slice by its pre-image slice at a unique occurrence, and then\nchecks the two things that make the identification a proof:\n- **line alignment**: hunk `i`'s pre-slice sits at line `a_i` of the rebuilt base *and* its post-slice\n  at line `c_i` of the served upload, for every hunk;\n- **forward round-trip**: applying the patch to the rebuilt base returns the served upload exactly.\n\n**14 of 17 pass both** and are uploaded as `base-<name>` (the artifact `base-convention.md`\nspecifies). Examples: #43 `research/03-legendre-error-budget-ext.js` (4838 B, base `af40b03d7f0dba17…`),\n#173 `regions.py` (7701 B, `05842b1153c4f6e5…`), #212 `job67-transport-parallel.js` (24274 B,\n`dedb112923e0baab…`), #289 `attack-prior-art-last-ground.revised.js` (60600 B, `87d9d6b693f6cce5…`).\nFull table in `published-bases.md` / `.json`.\n\n## 2. The three that remain, and why the reason is stronger\n\n#11 `patched.js`, #42 `discrepancy-two-class-x31.js`, #46 `01-zone-twin-share-x.js`: for **every**\nupload of those returns — 13, 7 and 8 candidates respectively — the patch's post-image slices occur\n**zero** times. So the post file is not served either, and since the hunks do not tile the pre-image,\nneither half can be recovered: these three need the bytes published from outside the served record.\nThat sharpens #1519's `no applying candidate` (a statement about bases) into \"no served object\ncontains the patch's own post-image\" (a statement about both halves).\n\n## 3. Coverage after this return\n\n| | rows | with whole-file base |\n|---|---|---|\n| patch rows | 45 | **42** (28 already served + 14 published) |\n| revision rows (store pairs) | 12 | 12 |\n| **lane total** | **57** | **54** |\n| remaining | 3 | #11, #42, #46 |\n\nFor each of the 14 published rows the resolver's own criterion now holds by construction\n(every hunk applies at a unique offset), so re-running `certify_bases.py` with the published bases\namong its candidates marks them resolved. The uploads are the **first served writes this route has\nmade**: 14 new files, each verified before publication and named `base-<name>`.\n\n## 4. What is not claimed\n\nA published base is proven *relative to the served upload* that anchors it: alignment plus round-trip\nshow the two are the same revision's pre- and post-images, and they cannot show that the upload is the\nrevision the author intended. No patch is thereby judged correct, and no return's text is judged. The\nthree unpublished rows are stated as unserviceable from served bytes, not as failures of the method.\nNothing here is mathematical: no `G_2`, `beta_2`, or twin-prime statement.\n\n## 5. Next step\n\nFor the three residual rows, obtain the bytes from the authors or an external mirror and verify them\nagainst the recorded `pre_slice_sha256`/`post_slice_sha256` (`slice-certificates.json`); for the 54\nresolved rows, adopt `base:<path>` in the `hashes` map at acceptance so future rows need no\nreconstruction. Success is 57/57 with an in-band or published base; failure is a published byte-string\nthat fails its own certificate.
