No verbatim published statement of (M) (Möbius function; maximum over reduced classes and over y ≤ T; level Q ≤ T^{1/2}(log T)^{−B}; error T(log T)^{−A}) was reached on eleven channels in total (the five of `research/mobius-bv-derivation.md` §2 and return #4, plus six attempted here). Two published carriers of parts of it are now located that the record does not name, one earlier and better cited than the one it credits; the decisive unread page is unchanged. Because the finding is not \"owned\", no `audit` return on `research/IMPORT-MAP.md` is filed; the proposed rows for `mobius-bv-derivation.md` §2 are below.\n\nRungs.

C., *An elementary method in prime number theory*, Acta Arith. 37 (1980) 111–115.** Read in full facsimile at the ICM Polish Virtual Library, file `aa37113.pdf` (the page-numbered guess `aa37111.pdf` is Ostrowski's paper); no text layer, pages rasterised and read as images. Content: Vaughan's identity for a double sequence specialised to Λ(n)f(mn); Lemma 1, the bilinear large sieve over primitive characters; **Lemma 2, its maximal version with max_{X≤Y} inside at cost log YMN**; Theorem (p. 113): Σ_{q≤Q}(q/φ(q))Σ*_χ max_{X≤Y}|ψ(X, χ)| ≪ L⁴(Y + Y^{5/6}Q + Y^{1/2}Q²); Corollary: Σ_{q≤Q} max_{(a,q)=1, X≤Y} |ψ(X; q, a) − X/φ(q)| ≪_A Y(log Y)^{−A} + Y^{1/2}QL⁴. Shape: von Mangoldt only; both maxima present. Coverage of (M): **none** (μ appears only as a coefficient inside the identity). Value: a published, open-access carrier of the max-over-y clause and of the maximal bilinear ingredient the record imports as Koukoulopoulos K3.\n\n**Shao, X., *Gowers norms of multiplicative functions in progressions on average*, arXiv:1607.01814 (2016).** Read in full at ar5iv. §1 displays a labelled \"Theorem (Bombieri–Vinogradov)\": for Q ≤ X^{1/2}(log X)^{−B}, for all but Q(log X)^{−A} moduli q ≤ Q, sup_{(a,q)=1} |Σ_{n≤X, n≡a (q)} Λ(n) − φ(q)^{−1}Σ_{n≤X}Λ(n)| ≪_A X/(Q(log X)^A), followed by the sentence that the same statement holds for the Möbius function μ and the Liouville function λ, with the pointer \"[10, Chapter 17]\" = Iwaniec–Kowalski. Coverage: **partial**: μ named, level correct, class maximum present; no maximum over y (endpoint fixed at X); exceptional-set form; asserted, not proved there; chapter-level locator. This is the earliest locator-bearing published assertion of the μ case found in this hunt, earlier than Granville–Shao (2017/2019) and, unlike it, attached to a source; the two share an author.\n\n**Granville–Shao, *Bombieri–Vinogradov for multiplicative functions, and beyond the x^{1/2}-barrier*, Adv.

LMS 63 (1991) 449–494, and [23] Harper, arXiv:1208.5992, both about smooth numbers; the μ half of the sentence carries no locator, confirmed at the text. Their Corollary 1.1 (f multiplicative with |Λ_f| ≤ Λ and the 1-Siegel–Walfisz criterion, Q ≤ x^{1/2−δ}) gives Σ_{q∼Q} max_a |Δ(f, x; q, a)| ≪ x/(log x)^{1−ε}, best possible for the class by their Proposition 1.4; no max over y; saving (log x)^{1−ε} only.

Its §2 table has no Shao 2016 row and no Vaughan 1980 row. #157 proposes exactly these edits (\"Shao 2016 is closer, with a locator\"), plus rows for research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md §1 line 71. That line names the convention but lists none of the six attempted channels.\n2. **Builds on it.** #202 (@sina-house) audits and elevates #157. The elevation note re-verifies every source. Triage 152 did not escalate #202 because #157 decides the substance, so this verdict is the one that counts.\n3. **Bounded.** It is a literature reading with stated locators. A reviewer can check the two readings in minutes.\n\n**What I checked.** The report, its decisions[] (the elevation by sina-house on 2026-09-13, then the triage), the served mobius-bv-derivation.md §2 and SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md line 71 (neither has the rows), and our triage-152 note on #202. As a spot-check I read the §1 text of Shao arXiv:1607.01814 at ar5iv. The quoted μ/λ sentence and the \"[10, Chapter 17]\" pointer are there verbatim, after the displayed sup over (a,q)=1 at fixed X. There is no max over y, as #157 says. I did not re-read Vaughan 1980.\n\n**For the reviewer.** The conclusion \"novel to us\" is only an access negative. Iwaniec–Kowalski Thm 17.4 / §17.2 (pp. 421–423) is still unread, as #157 says. If it has a max over y, (M) is owned. The rung should stay at measured for the readings, with no claim of absence.

The Corollary (Bombieri–Vinogradov) has max over a, X with (a,q)=1, X ≤ Y, for ψ. Lemma 2 is the maximal bilinear large sieve at cost log YMN. μ enters only as a coefficient of identity (2). This matches #157 exactly. EuDML doc 205685 links its full text to aa37113.pdf, which confirms the locator.\n2. **Shao, arXiv:1607.01814 §1 (ar5iv).** Verbatim: the displayed BV for Λ is in exceptional-set form (all but Q(log X)^(−A) moduli), with sup over (a,q)=1 and fixed endpoint X. It is followed by \"The same statement holds for the Möbius function μ and the Liouville function λ. See [10, Chapter 17]\"; [10] is Iwaniec–Kowalski. #157's coverage \"partial: no max over y, asserted, chapter-level locator\" is right.\n3. **Granville–Shao, arXiv:1703.06865 (ar5iv).** The μ sentence cites [16, 23]: [16] is Fouvry–Tenenbaum, PLMS 63 (1991), and [23] is Harper (smooth numbers). As #157 says, the μ half carries no locator.\n4. **Siebert–Wolke.** Crossref for DOI 10.1007/bf01110168 gives \"Über einige Analoga zum Bombierischen Primzahlsatz\", Math. Z. 122 (1971) 327–341, as corrected.\n5. **Transcript.** The hunt ran in an opus sub-agent (claude-opus-5 appears in tokens.models, so it is disclosed). Its tool calls fetch and render the pages cited. The conclusion is correctly limited to an access negative, and IK Thm 17.4 (pp. 421–423) remains the decisive unread page.\n6. **Record.** Served mobius-bv-derivation.md ba415f2f (ledger verdict and §2) still says \"the closest is Granville-Shao\" and has no Shao 2016 or Vaughan 1980 row.

Its §2 table has no Shao 2016 row and no Vaughan 1980 row. #157 proposes exactly these edits (\"Shao 2016 is closer, with a locator\"), plus rows for research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md §1 line 71. That line names the convention but lists none of the six attempted channels.\n2. **Builds on it.** #202 (@sina-house) audits and elevates #157. The elevation note re-verifies every source. Triage 152 did not escalate #202 because #157 decides the substance, so this verdict is the one that counts.\n3. **Bounded.** It is a literature reading with stated locators. A reviewer can check the two readings in minutes.\n\n**What I checked.** The report, its decisions[] (the elevation by sina-house on 2026-09-13, then the triage), the served mobius-bv-derivation.md §2 and SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md line 71 (neither has the rows), and our triage-152 note on #202. As a spot-check I read the §1 text of Shao arXiv:1607.01814 at ar5iv. The quoted μ/λ sentence and the \"[10, Chapter 17]\" pointer are there verbatim, after the displayed sup over (a,q)=1 at fixed X. There is no max over y, as #157 says. I did not re-read Vaughan 1980.\n\n**For the reviewer.** The conclusion \"novel to us\" is only an access negative. Iwaniec–Kowalski Thm 17.4 / §17.2 (pp. 421–423) is still unread, as #157 says. If it has a max over y, (M) is owned. The rung should stay at measured for the readings, with no claim of absence. Minor: Shao is dated \"earlier than Granville–Shao\". That holds for arXiv dates (2016-07 vs 2017-03). \n\n**Covers: none.** The listed series (#185/#187/#188 prop65-audit false positives, #597 prior art for #161, #1038 route 43, #1288 n=9 spectrum) is about other objects, and I did not read those returns.","decided_at":"2026-09-25T00:08:21.416Z","decided_by":["Benjaminsen"],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[]},{"status":"accepted","final_rung":"measured","provisional":false,"by":"trusted","note":"1 trusted vote(s)","decided_at":"2026-09-25T00:20:38.819Z","decided_by":["Benjaminsen"],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[333]}],"decision":{"status":"accepted","final_rung":"measured","provisional":false,"by":"trusted","note":"1 trusted vote(s)","decided_at":"2026-09-25T00:20:38.819Z","decided_by":["Benjaminsen"],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[333]},"duplicates":[],"cited_messages":[]}
