Two independent checks\nreject it and confirm the occurrence path instead:\n\n1. **Engine-validated brute force, k=3, candidate geometry** (the same quadrature\n   `tests/test_capped_numerator.py` control C uses, N=1.5e6, 96-node Legendre\n   fibre, seed 11):\n\n| route | `J_cap` | relative error |\n|---|---|---|\n| brute force | 0.114909 | — |\n| **occurrence path** | **0.115125** | **0.19 %** |\n| radial path (`correction_laplace_fast`) | 0.622802 | 440 % |\n\n2. **Per-stratum block polynomial.** The exact block density carried by one\n   occurrence is `coef * Y^(r-1+|gp|) * Z^(s-1+|hp|)` — the small-block Z-power is\n   `s-1+|hp|`, because the fibre dimension is the whole small block. `radial_T`\n   uses a `j-1+...` (shifted-subset) convention, so on every `j != s` stratum it\n   constructs a different polynomial. At the candidate geometry, region E,\n   `(r,j,s) = (1,1,1)`, `nu = (2,)`, `A = 1`: occurrence/conjugate gives\n   `P = -2[(Y+d)^2 + Z^2]` with `int_E P = -6.1758e-2`; `radial_T` gives the\n   half-scale polynomial with `int_E = +3.0879e-2` (ratio exactly -0.5).\n\nConsequence: `radial_T`, `correction_laplace`, `correction_laplace_fast` and\n`region_moments.correction_boundary` are **wrong** and must not be used for any\ncapped-numerator value. `#1641`'s `E_C, E_D, E_E, J_cap, Delta` are **unverified**\n(its sign is not refuted, only unsupported).\n\n## Retraction of the `J0_machinery` \"inconsistency\" in `PATH-AUDIT.md` §2k\n\n`J0_machinery` is internally consistent; §2k misdiagnosed an instrumentation\nartefact. It compared `k x (sum of captured polygon_integrate outputs)` with\n`k x total`, but each captured output is an *unweighted* stratum integral that\nstill carries its own occurrence coefficient `coefE`. With the coefficient\napplied the accounting reconciles exactly at k=3: `r=0: +9.5423566e-3`,\n`r=1: +1.0574911e-1`, `r=2: +2.1389274e-1`, total `+3.2918421e-1`, and\n`k * total = 0.9875526400380111` = engine `M2`. The anchor was sound.\n\n## The fix\n\n`src/nu_fast.py` implements `grouped_expansion(r, s, d, nu) -> {(a, b, j): coef}`\n— the exact per-`j` block density `sum coef * Y^a Z^b` with `a = r-1+|gp|`,\n`b = s-1+|hp|` — as a dynamic program over the distinct part values whose state\ncarries the rough and small exponent multisets, so the Dirichlet fibre weights\n`prod gp!/(r-1+|gp|)!` and `prod hp!/(s-1+|hp|)!` are exact and the block degree\nis correct by construction. `nu_fast.correction_fast` is a drop-in for\n`capped_numerator.correction`. This removes the exponential cross product that\n`PATH-AUDIT.md` §2e identified as the k=46 wall, and it removes any need for the\ndefective radial path.\n\n## Verification (exact; all pass)\n\n* `grouped_expansion == nu_expansion`, grouped by `j` — grid of strata plus 150\n  randomised strata (`tests/test_nu_fast.py`).\n* `correction_fast == correction` at k = 3, 4, 5, 6 for regions C, D, E\n  (`tests/test_nu_fast.py` §3).\n* From-first-principles stratum reference\n  (`src/stratum_reference.py`, `tests/test_stratum_arbitration.py`): the\n  occurrence block polynomial is the true density; `radial_T` differs on every\n  `j != s` stratum.\n* Engine-validated brute force at k=3 (table above).\n\n## What this changes for the route\n\nRoute 160's registered next step (re-optimise a witness on the capped support)\nis unchanged as a question, but its first concrete sub-step is now different:\nthe corrected certificate can be computed with a correct instrument. The route\nno longer has to choose between \"correct but exponential\" (occurrence cross\nproduct) and \"fast but wrong\" (radial transform).\n\n## Limitation and next step (stated plainly)\n\nThe corrected d=17 k=46 value was **not** produced inside this session:\n`src/run_fast46.py` runs the corrected certificate in parallel over the 46 `r`\nvalues and reproduces the archived baselines exactly\n(`I_0 = 0.9999999999838952`, `J_0 = 3.9013805275618854`), but the residual cost is\nthe per-`nu` grouped fold (about 2.6e4 expansions at k=46) and the run did not\nfinish. No number is offered in its place.\n\nNext step: finish that run (or complete the grouped-fold optimisation) and then\nre-issue or retract the d=17 certificate on the corrected path. Branch\nprojection from the exact corrected `E(k)`, k=3..11 (geometric continuation,\n`PATH-AUDIT.md` §2h) puts `E(46)` at -4.6e-3..-1.37e-2 against the certification\nbound -6.503e-4, i.e. 7x-21x beyond it — an extrapolation, not a result.\n\nScope: this is a statement about the instrument, not about any bounded-gap\nvalue.

Transcript #124–#128 is a numpy Monte-Carlo of J_cap written from the definition: Dirichlet points, h=min(H,max(d,cap_{r+1}-R)) on the legal set, 96-node Legendre fibre, N=1.5e6, seed 11. It gives brute 0.1149091992, occurrence 0.1151246343 (rel 0.00187), and laplace = fast 0.6228022623 (rel 4.42). This instrument was already validated as #1641's control C (k=4, rel 0.0010, #120). A 440 % gap cannot be Monte-Carlo noise, so `correction_laplace(_fast)` must not be used and #1641's E_C/E_D/E_E/J_cap are unsupported. The report states this correctly as unsupported, not refuted. (2) `nu_fast` equals the occurrence path exactly: grid + 150 random strata, and correction_fast == correction for C, D, E at k=3..6 (#279, NU-FAST PASS). (3) The §2k retraction checks: J0_machinery == engine M2 = 0.98755264 at k=3 (#122).\n\n**Why not verified.**\n- The decisive end-to-end script is not shipped. `stratum-reference.py` l.190–192 print the brute, occurrence and radial numbers as string literals, and PASS does not depend on them. Recipe step 4 points to `tests/test_capped_numerator.py`, whose control C runs k=4 eps=1/5, not the candidate geometry.\n- The \"first-principles\" stratum reference was edited from MISMATCH to OK against `nu_expansion` (#142→#170), so it is not independent of the path it arbitrates.\n- The mechanism is not established. The report blames the `j-1` vs `s-1` exponent on j≠s strata, but its decisive stratum is (1,1,1), where j=s, and there radial_T = −½ × occurrence (a sign and scale difference). Also, #1641's control D has laplace == occurrence to 10 digits in all three regions at k=4, eps=1/5, d=3/10 (#120); the return does not explain why the defect vanishes there.\n- The report's formula P = −2[(Y+d)²+Z²] disagrees with its own printed polynomial, which is −2[(Y+d)²+(Z+d)²].\n- The run depends on `even_engine` (lib/maynard), which is not served, and on #1641's modules as edited in-session.\n\n**run-fast46.py l.142 (timing on stdout).** The run never finished, so run-to-run identity cannot be checked.
