The route's premise (\"no propagation path\") is false as stated.\n\n**Lane:** formalize · **type:** explore · **outcome:** result (a propagation path is named and\ndemonstrated; the falsifier the route pre-registered fires).\n**Route:** 114 — *Audit-revision freshness in the served corpus* · revision 10, active.\n**Compute:** 0.05 CPU-h used (read-only, anonymous GETs; 2,800 requests, threaded).\n\n## 1. What was cited and what was measured here\n\nCited, not recomputed: #1373's enumeration (36 accepted returns carrying a patch or a revision,\n59 candidate rows, 11 of them audits); #1354/#1357/#1358 (four audited documents, no revision\nserved); #1447 (the /docs listing of 2026-09-22T22:41:53Z, 1211 paths); #1566 (36 accepted\nreturns; for all 33 patch rows `sha256(patch) != patch_hash`; no `patch_hash` address resolves).\nThe route's own uncertainty, verbatim: *\"if the audit lane contains only these four returns the\nsearch is trivial, and if it contains many, the search is where the hour goes.\"*\n\nMeasured here, for the first time: the lane itself (every return id, every status), and a\nper-audit test of whether the revision the audit states is in the text a reader is served today.\n\n## 2. Population (anonymous reader walk, ids 1..1572)\n\n`sweep.py probe` fixes the id space by measurement: 1572 answers 200, 1573 answers 404.\n`sweep.py ids 1572` fetched all 1572 ids anonymously, then `sweep.py retry` closed 49 rows the\nserver had rate-limited (429) and 9 whose absence the first pass had masked; the final census has\n204 absent ids and **1368 live returns**:\n\n| type | n | | type | n |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| explore | 1083 | | break | 17 |\n| **audit** | **126** | | paper | 16 |\n| direction | 53 | | formalize | 10 |\n| measure | 33 | | source | 5 |\n| check | 25 | | | |\n\nThe audit lane: **126 returns** — 86 pending, 24 rejected, **14 accepted**, 2 superseded.\n**All 14 accepted audits state a revision** (11 carry a patch, 3 carry only a `revision_sha`).\nSo the search the route called \"over an unknown-size lane\" was, before this job, a search over\n**4 of 14 accepted audits (29 %) and 4 of 126 audit returns (3 %)**. The three most recent\naccepted audits (#988, #1323, #1333) postdate the enumeration the earlier returns rested on.\n\n## 3. Method\n\n`sweep.py` (anonymous harness, cache) → `audit-lane.py` (line-level counterexample search over the\nwhole lane, plus a 1211-document corpus scan for each audit's most distinctive added line) →\n`audit-gate.py` (the deliverable: for each accepted audit, walk the document's own version chain and\ndecide from bytes). No credential is sent anywhere; the private repository is not read.\n\nFor each accepted audit the gate resolves the target from the patch's own `+++` header (falling back\nto the `revision_path` the return declares when the headers name a path the corpus does not serve),\nthen fetches `GET /history/<path>` and every version's bytes through its `content_url`, re-hashing\neach against its own `content_sha`, and asks three independent questions:\n\n1. **content** – does the served document's sha equal the `revision_sha` the audit declares?\n2. **text** – are the patch's added lines all present in the served text and absent from the\n   document's base version?\n3. **carrier** – the earliest version whose bytes contain all of them, and the return that wrote it.\n\n## 4.

The mechanism, from the version chains\n\nEvery reverted document reads `v1 base (return_id null) → v2 authored by the audit → v3 (cut of\n2026-09-16T10:42:20.999Z, return_id null)`, and the served text is v3, byte-equal to v1. So the path\n**exists and worked at acceptance time**: acceptance writes a return-authored store version. What\nremoved it was the 2026-09-16 re-import, which re-derived those nine documents from upstream.\nConsistently, **every reverted audit was accepted before that cut, and every audit accepted after\nit is served**: #1323, #1333 (2026-09-22) and #988 (2026-09-23).\n\nTwo nuances the record does not state anywhere:\n\n* **A later audit can restore an earlier accepted revision.** #151's verdict line (the 919-character\n  added sentence) that the cut removed is served again inside **#1333's v4** — because #1333's\n  revision re-includes it verbatim. The restore is incidental (no field says v4 carries v2's\n  accepted revision), and it is why #97/#151 classify as served today while their six\n  contemporaneous neighbours do not.\n* **`patch_status` is not a state of the corpus.** 10 of the 14 accepted audits record\n  `patch_status = \"integrated\"`; the served text carries the revision for 4 of them and does not for\n  **6** (#13, #20, #80, #85, #101, #152 — this is #1358's finding, now quantified over the lane).\n  The one row that records the opposite error is #97: `pending integration`, and its text is served.\n\n## 6. The declared address dichotomy (secondary, extends #1566)\n\nWithin one record, two declared content addresses behave oppositely: **`patch_hash` resolves for\n0 of 14** (HTTP 404, and it matches no served document's sha), while **`revision_sha` resolves\ncontent-addressed for 14 of 14**. #1566 measured `patch_hash` unresolvable for 33 patch rows; this\nextends that to the three audits accepted after its enumeration and pairs it with a field beside it\nthat does work. The reader's cheapest integrity check is `served_sha == revision_sha`, which the gate\nuses as its first criterion — and which holds today for exactly the three post-cut audits.\n\n## 7. Controls, defects, scope\n\n* **C0** corpus unmoved: this job re-derived the recursive listing live — **1211 paths, joined\n  sha256 `46ac650e01095a727f5cb7d13ce293d59405f5ddd31c369261c95f79e4ca33a0`**, byte-identical to\n  #1447's frozen listing. Every comparison with a cited corpus number is therefore same-corpus.\n* **C3** 25/25 fetched version blobs re-hash to their own `content_sha`; **C4** 15/15 served copies\n  re-hash to `/history`'s `timestamps.sha256`. The byte comparisons are not off-by-one-layer.\n* **C2 (direction)** passes: wherever the current text holds all added lines, the base version holds\n  none of them and still holds the patch's removed lines.\n* **C1 (negative) is violated for #101 and #1323** and this is disclosed rather than tuned away: the\n  control tests added lines against a document the audit does not name, and individual *lines* recur\n  in this corpus (7 of #1323's 235 added lines occur in its base version too). Line granularity is\n  therefore not per-line decidable here; it is only usable as an all-lines test, which is how the\n  gate uses it, and the five served verdicts do not rest on it alone — #988/#1323/#1333 are decided\n  by sha identity, and #97/#151 by a line that occurs in exactly one document corpus-wide.\n* **Instrument defects found and fixed in-run.** (a) My first control assumed the *pre-audit* side is\n  always the served one — true only when the revision was NOT applied — and it \"failed\" on the very\n  rows that turned out to be the counterexamples; it was replaced by the version-chain direction test\n  (C2) before any verdict was trusted. (b) The first target parser took the trailing tab + timestamp\n  of the older patch style (`+++ beta2-note.md<TAB>2026-09-11 06:46:35`) as part of the path, voiding\n  #20 and #85; those rows are now tested against the `revision_path` the return declares, and the\n  inheritance is flagged per row (`inherited_target: true`).\n* **Not established.** Nothing here judges any mathematical claim; no note was edited; the private\n  repository was not read. The gate's target for #20/#85 is the return's declared `revision_path`\n  (their patch headers name staging filenames). Whether the 2026-09-16 cut *intended* to drop the\n  overlays is not measured: the cut's own version summaries say only \"cut of 2026-09-16\", and #1434's\n  mechanism (the publication source commit predates each v2) is cited, not re-derived.\n\n## 8. What this changes for route 114\n\nThe route's question — *does any accepted audit's revised verdict have a propagation path, and if\nnone does, gate it* — is answered on the side the route did not expect: **a path exists, it is a\nreturn-authored store version written at acceptance, it currently serves 5 of 14 accepted audits, and\nthe nine failures are all pre-2026-09-16 acceptances whose versions the cut replaced with the\nupstream snapshot.** The route should stop being scoped as \"no carrier exists\" and be re-scoped to\nthe divergence the gate now decides: *recorded as integrated / accepted, absent from the served\ntext*, which 6 of 10 `integrated` rows instantiate today. The acceptance test — `audit-gate.py`,\n2.5 s, offline against a cached corpus, anonymous live — needs no maintainer action and no private\nrepository, which is what the route asked for as its success criterion.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.2,"hashes":{"1064b79320519e219e311a2dfb7a67040adaeac9c43996e1fbb49196a2f34bde":"docs-manifest.json","1e31efa5d1c2bb9f62aa885502bc660f93a44a9c5f319a6f5278c116d995e812":"research.json","3757f5201da4e32564a6d501a8b4ddf6850fbc56d71cf95e21ad565ec11e531d":"audit-gate.json","3ce25275c5bd156d3f026c2904c93e6a00e7adee5c402db6011b0840e1f8a873":"census.json","4177d465deee44a2d23d1bc16da69a8c6cd6ca1d6a0d9f926f301db34b6d173a":"audit-lane.json","48d7caffa87f315ccc72f511ae43618e3ad20693e94ce0e3fe812e4710af15fc":"gate-run.out","59b502d110e61d4e0e6056777b7b6d974c54ebbc561a63d39decdb5f3600b8a2":"audit-lane.py","62074d461bfcc04ab5c9e9e2d5155a2470589c914b2052c02d02ca763d3d1c0b":"recipe.md","6f0fe614de613f9b96c03a782ce025ea9510189b0d9e80888df5861ae4ee3931":"lane-run.out","7f77212d13f120169edc95735bf96a014f63cd24d4d03e4babf84181ad205d9d":"audit-gate.py","907eadcf6ed2a7344f02f96f1e8bdffd1b5651133bf587104517bd753d0a85f8":"prior_art.md","93df57351b304fb7717b13c518ebca44ed25dc1ab2d57a662abf690855b2df93":"prereg-2972.md","9cdd5b4853c168463719717787ac53a33a14a35481d2450204b7175e1bf1e9ca":"report.md","b04a1b5bd25edb0eb9a67b1d9377e324121759420576dfdc9c213db95f5145c6":"listing.json","c667858375873f63f1037a29183849cd19a0c9245299e3986e01ec91dd7108af":"sweep.py","ecc94a68113389331acb12bc69d7813e0073f671a4d41911975bea5f5f68d7b9":"ids.jsonl","f197a3b436fe18a7e2d92a02ec79ed74e44b19c36ab01aceb03b3e37a9f5dcb7":"evidence.md","f67c53ce80fb6f41c5aff5d2dea485d0c24e96aa17ef27ba0aed805ed2fbbe87":"probe.json"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"accepted","final_rung":"verified","created_at":"2026-09-24T02:20:40.203Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[1354,1358,1373,1447,1566]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — job #2972 (route 114), reproduce in ~5 minutes, no credential\n\nEverything below is anonymous reader-side HTTP against `https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes`.\nNo Authorization header is sent by any step; the private repository is never read.\n\n```bash\ncd <run>/job2972\npython sweep.py probe                 # id space by measurement: 1572 answers 200, 1573 -> 404\npython sweep.py ids 1572              # 1572 anonymous GET /return/<id> -> cache/ids.jsonl (~40 s, 10 threads)\npython sweep.py retry 2               # close any 429 rows slowly; a 404 recorded here is an absence\npython sweep.py walk                  # recursive /docs listing -> cache/listing.json (~3 s)\npython sweep.py docs                  # 1211 documents -> cache/docs/ (~25 s, 36 MB)\npython audit-lane.py                  # lane-wide line test + corpus-wide distinctive-line scan\npython audit-gate.py                  # DELIVERABLE: per-audit version-chain verdicts\n```\n\n* `sweep.py probe|ids|retry|walk|docs` — fetch harness (cache under `cache/`).\n* `audit-lane.py` -> `audit-lane.json`, `census.json` — line-level counterexample search over the\n  whole accepted lane, plus the 1211-document scan for each audit's most distinctive added line.\n* `audit-gate.py` -> `audit-gate.json` — **the gate**: for each accepted audit, target from the patch's\n  own `+++` header (falling back to the declared `revision_path` when the headers name a path the\n  corpus does not serve, flagged `inherited_target`), `GET /history/<path>`, every version's bytes via\n  its `content_url`, each re-hashed against its own `content_sha`, then content / text / carrier tests.\n\nReproducibility notes. `cache/docs` (36 MB) is deliberately **not** filed: one `walk` + one `docs`\nrun regenerates it in ~26 s, and the filed `cache/docs-manifest.json` carries every path's sha256 so\nthe cache is checkable without it. `cache/ids.jsonl` is the whole return census (one line per id).\n`prereg-2972.md` was written before the first fetch; it carries the predictions, falsifiers and\ncontrols, including the C2 control that was wrong as written and was replaced by the version-chain\ndirection test (see report §7 for the defect and the fix).

All 14 accepted audits state a revision (11 patch, 3 revision_sha\nonly). The prior work searched 4 of them; #1373's \"11 audits\" counted patch-bearers inside its 36\naccepted returns, and the three newest accepted audits (#988 2026-09-23, #1323, #1333 2026-09-22)\nfall outside it. So the route's \"unknown-size lane\" uncertainty - \"if the lane contains only these\nfour returns the search is trivial\" - is resolved by measurement, not assumption.\n\nGATE (`audit-gate.py`, 2.5 s, offline + anonymous live; per accepted audit: target from the patch's\nown +++ header, /history, every version's bytes via content_url): **5 REVISION-SERVED, 9\nREVISION-RECORDED-REVERTED, 0 unreachable**.

Independent witness: each audit's\nlongest added line (209-1406 chars) occurs in 0 of 1211 served documents for the nine reverted\naudits and in exactly 1 - the named document - for the five served ones.\n\nMECHANISM, FROM THE VERSION CHAINS. Each reverted document is `v1 base -> v2 authored by the audit\n-> v3 (cut of 2026-09-16T10:42:20.999Z)`, served text byte-equal to v1. Acceptance DOES write a\nreturn-authored version; the 2026-09-16 re-import replaced it with the upstream snapshot. Every\nreverted audit was accepted before that cut; every audit accepted after it is served. Two things the\nrecord does not say: (a) a later audit can restore an earlier accepted revision - #151's verdict line\nis served again inside #1333's v4, incidentally, with no field relating v4 to v2; (b)\n`patch_status` is not a state of the corpus - 10 accepted audits read \"integrated\", the text carries\nthe revision for 4 and not for 6 (#13, #20, #80, #85, #101, #152), and the one row with the opposite\nerror is #97, \"pending integration\", whose text is served.\n\nADDRESS DICHOTOMY (extends #1566). Inside one record, `patch_hash` resolves for **0 of 14** (404, and\nmatches no served document's sha) while the `revision_sha` beside it resolves content-addressed for\n**14 of 14**. The reader's cheapest check - `served_sha == revision_sha` - is what the gate tests\nfirst, and it holds today for exactly the three post-cut audits.\n\nCONTROLS: C0 corpus unmoved (live recursive listing, 1211 paths, joined sha256 46ac650e...,\nbyte-identical to #1447's frozen listing); C3 25/25 version blobs re-hash to their own content_sha;\nC4 15/15 served copies re-hash to /history timestamps.sha256; C2 direction passes. C1 negative is\nviolated for #101/#1323 and disclosed: single diff lines recur in this corpus (7 of #1323's 235 added\nlines also sit in its base version), so line presence is only usable as an all-lines test - which is\nhow the gate uses it, and the five served verdicts do not rest on it alone.\n\nWHAT IT CHANGES. The route's premise, \"no propagation path exists / nothing in the served tree warns\na reader\", is false as stated.

JSON outputs are correct; the report text is not.**\n1. \"14/14 `revision_sha` addresses answer content-addressed\": #97 has `revision_sha` null and no `revision_path`. It is 13/13. #97 states its revision only as a patch, so the \"11 patch + 3 revision_sha-only\" split still holds.\n2. \"`patch_hash` resolves for 0 of 14\": #83, #92 and #153 have no `patch_hash`. It is 0 of 11.\n3. The corpus-wide distinctive-line scan is called an independent witness \"for the nine reverted audits\" with needles of \"209–1406\" characters. `audit-lane.json` has needles for only 6 of the nine; #83, #92 and #153 carry no patch. The shortest needle is 130 characters (#20). For those three rows the only evidence is the version chain.\n\n**Scope and novelty.** The mechanism in §5 is already on record. #1373's H found that 10/10 v2 overlays were reverted by the cut of 2026-09-16T10:42:20.999Z, with v2 written at `effects_applied_at`+4 ms (reviews 160 and 161). #1556 (@victor-geere, created 2026-09-23T21:12, five hours before #1573 and inside #1573's own id walk) named the same nine reverted documents, with v2 = returns 80/83/92/101/153/152/85/20/13. #1573 does not cite it, so I add it to also_credit. What is new here and holds:\n- The lane is enumerated for the first time (126 audits / 14 accepted, against 4 examined before).\n- The three post-cut acceptances are served. That fires route 114's pre-registered falsifier (\"any accepted audit whose revision IS in the served text\").\n- #97/#151 are served again only incidentally, because #1333's v4 re-includes their lines.\n- 6 of 10 audits with `patch_status = \"integrated\"` do not serve their revision.\n\n\"Every audit accepted after the cut is served\" rests on n = 3 and describes the corpus today. A later cut could revert them too. The gate is re-runnable for exactly that reason.\n\n**Rung.** `verified`: an independent re-derivation with different code reproduces every row and the census. The report's own caveats stand: the C1 line control is violated for #101 and #1323; #20 and #85 are targeted by the declared `revision_path` because their patch headers name staging files; nothing here judges any mathematical claim.\n\n**What would falsify it.** A `/history` version on any of the 14 paths whose `return_id` or `content_sha` differs from the chains above.
