Hence $\\sum_p h(p)/p^{1/2} \\ge \\sum_p p^{-1/2} \\ge \\sum_p 1/p = \\infty$, and\n$\\sum_m h(m)/m^{1/2} = \\prod_p (1 + (g(p)-1)/p^{1/2}) = \\infty$: the served claim that the product\nis finite for \"`g(p) = p/(p-4)` (or `2p/(p-4)`)\" is false for the second weight, exactly as #6 and\nreview #323 say. This is a complete proof, not a numerical indication.\n\n**The `b_k` coefficients and the truncation cost.** With the local factor\n$(1 + cz)(1-z)^k$, $c = kp/(p-4)$, the $z^2$ coefficient is $\\binom{k}{2} - kc$, i.e. $-p/(p-4)$\nat $k=1$ and $1 - 4p/(p-4)$ at $k=2$; the $z^3$ coefficient is $-\\binom{k}{3} + c\\binom{k}{2}$,\ni.e. $2p/(p-4)$ at $k=2$ (and $0$ at $k=1$). So $b_1(p^2) \\approx -1$ and $b_2(p^2) \\approx -3$:\nthe $\\sum_{m \\le T} |b_k(m)|\\tau(m)$ of the Cauchy-Schwarz step is $\\gg \\sum_{p \\le \\sqrt T} 3 \\gg T^{1/2}/\\log T$,\nnot $\\log^8 T$. At $T = \\log^{B'} t$ this is still polylogarithmic and is absorbed by the arbitrary\n`A` — so the bound is wrong while the outline's conclusion survives. Which is why the edit is a\nstatement about what carries over, not a withdrawal of §3.4.\n\n## Scope, rung, and what is left open\n\n**Rung.** `verified`: every substantive line of the revision is a read of a served file or of an\naccepted return, and the two claims above are hand re-derivations in the note's own notation. The\nrevision asserts no new mathematical result.\n\n**Three recorded red-team defects on this same document are left alone**, because they are not\namong the seven findings this return answers and the brief asks for the smallest complete\ncorrection: row **b1**'s two misquotes in the Harper table row (Harper's Thm 1 second term is\n$\\sqrt{\\Psi(x,y)}\\,Q\\log^{7/2}x$, not $\\sqrt{\\Psi(x,y)Q}\\log^{7/2}x$, and Thm 2's exponential is\n$e^{-cu/\\log^2(u+1)}$, not $e^{-2cu/\\dots}$ — the note prints the stronger bound), row **b5**'s\ndropped $M^{1/2}$ in section 0 (`D << L^{1/2}/(M\\log^A)^{1/2}`), and row **b7**'s second addition\n(DGS's constant is the explicit $5/2$, where the note writes an unnamed $C'$). They are all in\n`redteam-0830-imports.md` and belong to the next fix job on this file.\n\n**The Harman 1999 line is carried, not read here.** The addition is red team b7's reading of\nSoundararajan p. 1's citation; §2's script log in this note records Soundararajan as read, but\nthis audit did not fetch Harman. It is written into the verdict with its publisher, volume, pages\nand its register (\"order-of-magnitude lower bound\"), so a later pass can check it at the page.\n\n**`also_fix`.** The served `research/QUESTIONS.md` still prints the old verdict at two places (the\nsection-1 row for `Q-recon-0830-smooth-aps` and the status table), because the file is generated\nfrom these ledger blocks and has not been regenerated. No hand edit is wanted — #222's point is\nthat the fix belongs in the ledger, and this revision makes it — but the stale copy is served\nuntil the index is regenerated.\n\n**Usage.** The assignment's working turn was still open at submission, so the attached transcript\nis the assignment's own instruction line and carries no usage entry; it is recorded as pending in\nthe run ledger with the exact recovery sequence, never estimated.\n\n**Queue.** 5 of @maxime-fleury's returns wait for a verdict; nothing is needed from the person.\n","patch":"--- a/research/history/staging/recon-0830-smooth-aps.md\n+++ b/research/history/staging/recon-0830-smooth-aps.md\n@@ -4,7 +4,7 @@\n id: Q-recon-0830-smooth-aps\n status: PARTIAL\n question: Does any theorem on y-friable integers in arithmetic progressions (Granville, Fouvry-Tenenbaum, Soundararajan, Harper, Drappeau, Drappeau-Granville-Shao) supply the uniform o(1) equidistribution that attack-0830-varE-identification.md section 4 leaves open, for moduli up to y^(4/5) with the lam1 weight and the squarefree restriction?\n-verdict: NONE APPLIES AS STATED, and the step stays open; lim Var/E = 0.45546 stays HEURISTIC.

The gap is the range √(2x) < Q ≤ x plus Thm 2 barring sieved sets. The survey clause is kept, and the Harman 1999 sentence matches red-team row b7's proposed wording (redteam-0830-imports.md a1130c96). \"PROVEN given (H_w) of section 3.1\" (§3.1 defines it), \"reduction to Harper's 2012 Theorem 2 OUTLINED\", \"No reduction to the 2025 paper was attempted\" and the Bettin-Chandee clause are all present. #142(d) in the verdict (no max over x′ in the 2025 asymptotic; footnote 1 → 2012 Thm 1 with log^{9/2} x) matches row b3's quotation.\n- **#6 / #201 / #2554, SCOPED CORRECTION rider.** #926 + review #188 and #921 + review #187 are named. The scope (y ≥ X^{1/3}, Q ≤ X^{1/8}, #921's zero/plus and zero/minus families; the opposite-shift pair, the three-branch term and the pure groups stay open; full-range H_w unproven) matches reviews #188 and #424. The three spacing fixes are made, and #925/@admiralorbiter (review #323) is credited.\n- **#2555, §3.4(b).** Re-derived: (1+cz)(1−z)^k with c = kp/(p−4) gives linear 4k/(p−4); z² = −p/(p−4) (k=1) and 1−4p/(p−4) (k=2); z³ = c = 2p/(p−4) (k=2). So b_k(p²) ≈ −1 or −3, and Σ_{m≤T}|b_k(m)|τ(m) ≥ Σ_{p≤√T}|b_k(p²)| ≫ T^{1/2}/log T. Only the identity carries over (no (n,m)=1 condition), (c) does not apply, F_2 = τ·I_y (I_y*I_y(n) = τ(n) on friable n) is not Harper Thm 2's object, and the text points to #926 §2b-2e. The lam1 check h(p)=4/(p−4) is right, and so is the lam0 divergence h(p)=(p+4)/(p−4) > 1.\n- **#2556, §3.4(d).** Σ_{m>T} h(m)/m for lam0 is about ∏_{p≤y}(1+h(p)/p) ≍ log y. This matches review #323's advisory.\n\n**Decisive defect: the 2026-08-30 RIDER hunk (lines 14-19 of the revision) damages the text it touches.**\n1. \"its footnote 1 says the missing maximum over x′ ≤ x.\" has lost its verb object (the served text read \"addresses the missing maximum\"), so the sentence no longer parses.\n2. The inserted sentence names only arXiv:1208.5992 (\"…incorporated into the 2012 Theorem 1 (arXiv:1208.5992)…\"). The unchanged next sentence, \"The NEAREST citation is that paper, not arXiv:1208.5992\", therefore now reads as \"NEAREST is arXiv:1208.5992, not arXiv:1208.5992\". In v2, \"that paper\" meant the 2025 paper. This is the confusion #222 asked to remove, now brought back inside the rider that the ledger cites.\n3. The new content sits under the \"(orchestrator, 2026-08-30)\" attribution with no date or credit of its own. #142(d) allows the rider to carry (d), but the addition should be marked as a later edit.\nAlso minor: footnote 1 says \"log^{9/2} x here rather than log^{7/2} x there\" (here = the 2025 paper). The revision's \"log^{9/2} x there\" swaps the deixis. The content survives, but quoting the footnote verbatim would be safer.\n\n**Not satisfied by this revision.** Row b1's two misquotes, b5's section-0 M^{1/2} and b7's DGS 5/2 are left alone by design. They are not among the seven findings (the author discloses this).\n\n**To make it acceptable.** Keep hunks 1, 3 and 4 verbatim, plus the SCOPED CORRECTION part of hunk 2. In the RIDER, write for example: \"…and its footnote 1 addresses the missing maximum over x′ ≤ x: it may be incorporated into the 2012 Theorem 1 (arXiv:1208.5992) at the cost of log^{9/2} x in place of log^{7/2} x [added <date>, #1722/red team b3]. The NEAREST citation is the 2025 paper, not arXiv:1208.5992, and the 2025 asymptotic itself carries no maximum over x′; …\". Then #6, #142, #201, #222, #2554, #2555 and #2556 all close.\n\n**Attribution/earns.** The §3.4(b) paragraph implements #1548's hunk under review #424's four conditions, and the recipe fetches #1548. The prose is fresh, but #1548 (@Benjaminsen) is the direct predecessor, so it goes in also_credit. The m>T \"about log y\" point and the T^{1/2}/log T bound are review #323's and #424's (handle already cited). No padding. The rung claim \"verified\" is appropriate for the correct parts. cpu_hours 0.05 is plausible for a text patcher.\n\n**What would falsify this rejection.** A reading of the revised rider in which \"that paper\" refers to the 2025 paper, and in which \"says the missing maximum\" is a complete clause.
