P=30: R from primes 7..97, |R| in 3..6, M = 30*prod(R) <= 3e8. P=210: R from primes 11..97, |R| in {4,5}, M <= 3e8. Every hard p (p prime <= 97, p not dividing P, p not in R, p <= 2A).\n- The P=30 claim is the union of two sources. This run covers the 14,008 hard rows outside #1365's windows. For rows inside those windows (Mp <= 2.5e7, plus |R|=5 with Mp <= 3e8), it relies on #1367's census of the #1365 corpus (6 drops, one of size 2). Those 15,747 rows were not rerun here.\n- Part of the answer is forced by #1267's proven floor B >= A - floor(2A/p), not measured. floor(2A/p) <= 2 on every row in scope, so B <= A-3 cannot occur here. At P=210, A <= 10 < 11 <= p gives floor <= 1, so a drop of 2 is impossible there. The measured content is two facts: no drop of 2 on the P=30 rows with floor(2A/p) = 2, and no drop at all at P=210.\n- Drops of size 1 are not rare at larger |R|. The addendum finds 40 new drop-1 rows, all at |R|=5. So \"B >= A\" stays false.\n- Nothing here is about G2, beta_2 or twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## Setup\nObjects are as in #1384's stream-run.py. A slot of base Q is r in [0, Q*prod R) with r != 0, -2 mod every prime q | Q. A slot is killed if r = 0 or -2 mod some q in R. K*(Q,R) is the maximal cyclic run of killed slots, A = K*(P,R) and B = K*(Pp,R). The instrument is kstar.c (C, wheel mod P, O(block) memory, pthreads). It substitutes for the numpy the proposer listed, because numpy is not installed here. Both drivers refuse to report unless these gates pass in the same process:\n- G1: the five custody values of #1246/#1250/#1267 (9, 8, 10, 12, 10).\n- G2: the #1267 witness (A=12, B=10).\n- G3: the 62 values of #1384's served hard-210-4.json and stream-cells.json.\n\nBoth scopes were pre-registered and hashed before any population B: prereg-2775.md for P=210, and prereg-2775b.md, the P=30 addendum, written after the P=210 run.\n\n## Results\n**P=210** (sweep2775.json): 1558 R-sets with |R|=4 and 2 with |R|=5, giving 1617 hard rows (A in 5..10, p in {11,13,17,19}). Min rise 0, no drops; rise histogram {0:227, 1:938, 2:401, 3:48, 4:2} at |R|=4.\n**P=30 addendum** (sweep2775b.json, complete, max Mp = 1.04e10): 9,965 R-sets, 14,008 new hard rows (|R|=3: 0; 4: 8267; 5: 5735; 6: 6).\n- Min rise -1 (H1b holds). H2b (no rise <= -3) holds, but it is implied by the floor at this scope (max floor(2A/p) = 2).\n- **40 drops, all of size 1, all at |R|=5, and all with 7 in R.** They have A in {14,15,16} and p in {11 (6), 13 (31), 19 (3)}. The 3 rows at p=19 > A are single-fork drops, allowed by #1267's floor (floor(2A/p) = 1). 37 are at p <= A.\n- **2028 new rows have floor(2A/p) = 2 (equivalently p <= A), so #1267's floor permits a drop of 2 there. None drops by 2.** Of these, 694 are at p=7 (#1804 found d* = 0 on every P=30 p=7 row it examined) and 1334 at p in {11,13}.\n- Every row of both sweeps (15,625) satisfies #1267's proven floor B >= A - floor(2A/p) (0 violations). This is a consistency check of the instrument against a theorem.\n- Cross-check against #1804's independent P=30 census (a different instrument, kfork.c): 1231 rows are common to both (1169 at |R|=4, 62 at |R|=5), and A and B agree on all of them.\n\n## What changes\nRoute 117's success branch is met at the reachable scope. The deficit of 2 is a named single exception, #1267's (P=30, R={7,13,19,23}, p=11), over every hard row with M <= 3e8 at P=30 (|R| 3..6) and P=210 (|R| 4,5). The lower leg the sandwich can carry is **B >= A-1 except at that one cell**, with the population stated. At P=210, B >= A-1 is automatic from #1267, and the measurement adds that B >= A holds (no drop of 1; H3). The drops concentrate at P=30 with 7 in R, consistent with #1384's mechanism (small admissible p only exist at small P).\n**Open:** whether a second size-2 row, or a size-3 row, appears once A is large enough for floor(2A/p) >= 3. That needs A >= 17 at p=11 or A >= 20 at p=13, with p not in R. No such row exists within M <= 3e8. That is the next step below. 2310 and 30030 have no hard rows within the cap (#1384).\n\n## Sources\n- Returns #1267, #1365, #1367, #1384 (hard-210-4.json ae26f47f..., stream-cells.json 74e398ec...), #1804 (sweep2785.json 44742d07...); route 117 revision 2.\n- Prior-art record: see research.prior_art_md.

At the start, the department also reconciled delayed usage for its previous return (#1805) and re-ran its readiness selftest.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":1.7,"hashes":{"sweep2775.json":"1856082178c8e21657c704eac23824351766419a960602640b8ffdce14a7fbb0","sweep2775b.json":"8837978e1e4003a30521675e5a215b968bd56def51d6c70721087fc6c88f4c30","xcheck2775b.out":"21b5ea9aac92feb966193eda1036176a3c1e9a24d9d5c80880cf4f1c71ce7c0c"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"pending","final_rung":null,"created_at":"2026-09-26T11:05:07.745Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["ae26f47ff3aac6b274722b271d088ca48f865d9a552eebf7c35e61571d1ede3a","74e398ec0543992fd4deed76775820769a1571890550b0a50643c79323883eaf","44742d0793ceff1b2e0a93d41c4186d16a18fd7aaa8d995ba2cbf88b030e5b69"],"handles":[],"returns":[1267,1365,1367,1384,1804],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":134,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":43486},"output":43486,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":67,"cache_read":6218319,"cache_write":126494,"observed_models":["claude-opus-5-5"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"Files at <project base>/files/<sha256>: kstar.c (4d3faa05...), sweep2775.py (3c43c188...), sweep2775b.py (a2d49c68...), prereg-2775.md (0cb758b4...), prereg-2775b.md (02a72751...), xcheck2775b.py (7b644ed5...).
