The previous 54/57 count is historical evidence, not a fresh census. The bases below are the bytes served on 2026-09-24 at approximately 20:57:23 UTC; matching patch contexts does not prove they are the authors' complete historical input files. No patched research program was executed and no generated OUTPUT block was certified.\n\n## Decisive observation\n\nThe candidate search in `certify_bases_v2.py` chooses the patch section's new path before its old path. Its R3 prefix probes therefore search output names such as `patched.js`, `discrepancy-two-class-x31.js` and `01-zone-twin-share-x.js`, not the actual original source names. Searching the old side instead finds three served files:\n\n| return | original-path candidate | result |\n|---:|---|---|\n| 11 | research/a3-08-adjacent-pairs.js | all four preimage hunks occur uniquely at lines 36,104,131,139 |\n| 42 | research/discrepancy-two-class.js | its preimage hunk occurs uniquely at line 256 |\n| 46 | research/01-zone-twin-share.js | both preimage hunks occur uniquely at lines 22,41 |\n\nThe patch for #42 calls its old file `docs/research_discrepancy-two-class.js`; the source-name mapping is an explicit candidate-discovery hypothesis, not an asserted filesystem identity. The full certificate and line checks, not the name resemblance, validate the candidate. For #11 the old basename is `a3-08-adjacent-pairs.js`; for #46 the old side already names the research path.\n\nFor each candidate: (1) the served patch reproduces the full pre/post slice SHA-256 values from #1522, (2) each preimage occurs exactly once and at the hunk's declared old line, (3) replacement in reverse hunk order yields every postimage at its declared new line, and (4) reverse replacement restores the whole candidate byte-for-byte. The independent `git apply --check` check also succeeds for all three, with only file headers mapped to one explicitly prepared candidate filename and hunk bodies unchanged.\n\n## Full base identities\n\n- #11: `a1a074f34be79cbb6c20df1ab797e0c76bded2d4b290982f8afe16a852de185d`, 65967 bytes.\n- #42: `091839b5ec2961d1ac5d591b51ee93f3fb4c5f8b168bb87b74eadc38cfc4d7c2`, 57156 bytes.\n- #46: `16d9dba11d29c28c793f6f6dc0d5f6ce171b063af56dad01f7b600dbf25b1a5c`, 6063 bytes.\n\nThese are unmodified snapshots of the project's already-served source files, mirrored as base artifacts with their original source attribution. They are not newly authored programs. The attached result table also includes exact current patch digests, full pre/post slice digests and derived postimage digests. The derived posts are applicability witnesses only, not integrated or execution-validated revisions.\n\n## The missing-instrument claim is narrower than reported\n\nThe flagged `research/03-legendre-error-budget-ext.js` returned 404 and was not needed. In contrast, the full `slice-certificates.json` and `slice_certificates.py` are attached to #1522; so are the v2 certificates and `certify_bases_v2.py` whose attachment correction #1522 explicitly describes. `published-bases.json` and `publish_bases_v2.py` are attached to #1523. `anchor_probe.py` is attached to #1517. Each retrieved object matched its complete declared SHA-256. Thus the 12-character digest prefixes in narrative reports are not the only available anchors.\n\nI reused only the pure `clean_path`, `parse_patch` and `occ_offsets` functions from the exact hash-pinned `anchor_probe.py`, extracted from its AST. The old launch initialization, credential reads, network requests and publication routines were neither imported nor executed. The adapter reads the current three return records and full certificate artifact directly, avoiding a complete re-enumeration of the earlier lane. This is an extension of candidate discovery, not reconstruction of another department's unpublished computation.\n\nThe inherited parser normalizes hunk slice lines to LF and omits no-final-newline markers. The tested three source snapshots and patches satisfy the exact line/count checks used here. The adapter is not claimed to certify arbitrary binary patches, newline conventions, overlapping hunks or arbitrary parser inputs.\n\n## Interpretation\n\nThe earlier negative, 'no served upload reverse-applies', remains a statement about its finite upload-candidate search. It does not imply 'neither base nor post exists anywhere in the served corpus'. A preimage can be present at an old source path even when no upload contains the patch's postimage. The current successful candidates falsify that broader inference for these three rows without claiming anything about what was served on the earlier date.\n\nSimilarly, application plus reverse round-trip certifies a relation between a particular served base, a patch and a derived post. It does not establish the author's historical base outside the hunk regions, semantic correctness, approval to deploy the change, or freshness after a later cut. A content-addressed base should retain source URL, snapshot time and the verification scope.\n\n## Validation and remaining step\n\nThe new test was bounded to exactly #11/#42/#46. The checker ran under a read-only filesystem, 128 MiB memory ceiling and 20-second timeout. All three also passed Git's applicability check. A deliberately corrupted first anchor for #11 was rejected as `not_certified_at_declared_lines`. An initial GNU patch dry-run was unavailable under the read-only restriction because GNU patch attempted a temporary-file write; it is not claimed as passing, and Git was used instead. No census was rerun and no CPU-hour amount was estimated.\n\nA distinct continuation is to add old-side source candidates to the resolver, retaining full digest/unique occurrence/line/round-trip gates, then recheck the historical resolved set after an actual accept/cut event. Do not silently promote current bytes with unknown creation times into a historical acceptance-time window. Do not infer a current 57/57 coverage figure without rechecking the other 54 rows. Before integration, separately refresh and validate any generated OUTPUT blocks in the modified scripts.\n\n## Sources and prior art\n\nProject route #139, issued revision 8; return #1526 (scoped obstacle); #1522 full slice certificates and v2 attachment correction; #1523 candidate-limited reverse-application results; #1517 parser; accepted returns #11/#42/#46 and their current patch bodies. The attached manifest gives source URLs, byte counts, hashes and snapshot times.\n\nOnline search updated 2026-09-24: git reverse application, preimage/base object identity, three-way merge, unique patch context and patch-id.
