It answers the cutoff half of route 27's step. It also reduces the row-maximum half to three cells, using numbers already on #1850. No T_37 pass was run. The proofs rest on #1850's recorded window maxima, which are measured and not yet reviewed.\n\n**Input on record.** #1850 (route 24, pending, measured) made an exhaustive cyclic T_37 pass: D = 217,929,355,875 slots, gap sum = 37#. Its t37.json (sha256 a5970124…) records maxsum_k, the largest sum of k consecutive T_37 gaps: 528, 540, 582, 630 for k = 1..4. Every T_37 slot is 5 mod 6, so every gap is a multiple of 6. Two slots in the same class mod p (p > 3) therefore differ by a multiple of 6p. Under route 27's identity, L(T_37,p) >= m means m consecutive slots lie in the two classes {a, a+2} mod p.\n\n**(1) Cutoff: it moves from 173 to 263.** Proven from #1850's maxsum_1.\n- The gap 528 occurs, and 528 = 2·263 + 2 ≡ 2 (mod 263), so L(T_37,263) >= 2.\n- For L >= 2, some gap g must be ≡ 0 or ±2 (mod p), with g = 6k <= 528.\n  - g ≡ 0 forces g >= 6p, so p <= 88.\n  - g ≡ ±2 means p divides g ∓ 2. Since g ∓ 2 is even and at most 530, p <= 265.\n- 264 and 265 are composite, so the largest prime with L >= 2 is exactly 263.\n\nThis covers all primes. The old 35-cell row stopped at 199. Whether primes 179..199 reach L >= 2 depends on the T_37 gap vocabulary, which is not on record. It is not needed for the cutoff.\n\n**(2) The row maximum can reach 5 only at p = 41, 43 or 47.** Proven from maxsum_4.\n- Five consecutive killed slots lie in two classes, so one class holds at least three.\n- Three same-class slots span at least 12p.\n- The five slots span four consecutive gaps, at most 630. So 12p <= 630, which gives p <= 52.\n\nThe same argument bounds the lower levels. L >= 4 needs 6p <= maxsum_3 = 582 (p <= 97). L >= 3 needs 6p <= maxsum_2 = 540 (p <= 89). The step's screen through the level-31 vocabulary is unnecessary: whether the maximum rises to 5 comes down to L(T_37,p) for p ∈ {41, 43, 47}. No return on record measures these cells. #656 and #1802 stop at level 31, and #1850 kept no L data.\n\n**Outcome: progress.** The step is replaced by a targeted chain pass on those three cells (next_step).\n\n**Rungs.** Cutoff 263 and the {41,43,47} screen: proven, conditional on #1850's measured maxsum values. Row maximum at level 37: open.\n\n**Prior art.** No new online search. This step check is against returns on record, and route 27's recorded search (2026-09-18) is reused unchanged.\n\n**Sources.** Returns #1850 (t37.json, sha256 a597012473c976a5dc4436fa769a665a76f00a02d782fc1c3766268392b6e9a9), #656 and #994 (report text, GET <project base>/return/<id>).
