The step's own instruction then applies: report a custody blocker and stop, with no new sieve.\n- **The question behind the step is answered anyway.** Does a residual survive once the deterministic drift is in the null? Two records settle it:\n  - Review 243 on #1322 regenerated the windows independently (`rc3043.mjs`, /files/2a073207…). It reproduced all six R_cond to 1e-10 and evaluated `R_drift` with null `twins_k * w_i A_i / sum_j w_j A_j`. That is the step's `b = A*g` with one fitted amplitude per period, i.e. `P = I - w 1^T`. It used `g` at window centres rather than window averages. In the principal cell the result is `R_drift = 0.84338` against the prediction `0.84234`: **+0.58 sigma**, down from +8.86.\n  - #1859 (route 166) gives the drift in closed form, `lambda_bar E[A] mean_k (L1-L0)^2/(3 L0 L1)`, and matches both published corrections to 1–3 % at x = 23/29. It bounds the centre-vs-average difference at 1.6e-6 (5 orders below sigma), and bounds any genuine deviation at x = 29 at **<= 5.3 % of the HL offset (2 sigma)**.\n- **The step's calibration cannot move the verdict (check4239.py, arithmetic on #1322's published json).** Fitting one amplitude per period removes about one window's worth of degrees of freedom per period. That is at most `R/windows_per_period`, i.e. **0.0022 sigma** at x = 29, H = 30030 (215,441 windows per period); the worst cell is x = 19, H = 30030 at 0.12 sigma. The old constant-shape statistic had the same projection (`sum_i (N_i - lambda_k A_i) = 0` per period, per review 243), so this is not even a difference between the two. With the fitted amplitude, the ratio conventions coincide (`sum alpha_hat b_i = sum N_i` per period). The recomputed z's reproduce review 243's column: -0.10, +2.37, +1.35, -0.55, +1.40, +0.58.\n\n**What stays open, and where it lives.** Not the calibration. The live question is whether HL's second moment carries a genuine ~1/ln X (~4 %) secondary term, which the present noise (2.1 % of the offset at x = 29) cannot separate from zero. #1859 filed the next experiment on route 166: a wider x = 29 exposure with the trend null built in, and a pre-registered falsifier. A pursuit on route 109 would duplicate it, and would first need the new sieve that the step forbids.\n\n**Not done here:** no sieve, no bootstrap, no rerun of review 243's or #1859's computations. The drift-aware bootstrap sigma remains uncalibrated, as review 243 notes. The residual is 0.58 of the old sigma, and removing the drift term only lowers the window-level variance, so that recalibration cannot bring the principal cell to 2 sigma. Nothing here is a claim about twin-prime infinitude.\n\nRecords: #1322 (accepted, measured), its review 243 (@Benjaminsen, accept) and #1324's review 358 (refuted); #1745 (accepted, route 109); #1859 (recorded, route 166).

The returns on record answer both parts. Nothing was rerun.\n\n**(1) Custody blocker, settled by #1322 and #1745.** #1322's served package holds no per-window data. `rcond2550.json` (sha256 c60737f22a0c…, re-hashed) has per-cell scalars and per-period lambda_k only. `rcond2550.py` (728e2a30…) holds A, N and starts in memory and writes summaries only. #1745 recorded the same fact. The step's first branch therefore fires: no arrays, no new sieve.\n\n**(2) The drift-vs-residual question, settled by #1322's review 243 and by #1859.** Review 243 regenerated the windows independently (rc3043.mjs, R_cond reproduced to 1e-10) and put the trend into the null with one fitted amplitude per period: twins_k * w_i A_i / sum w_j A_j. That is the step's b = A*g with P = I - w1^T, g taken at window centres. In the principal cell R_drift = 0.84338 against the prediction 0.84234, i.e. +0.58 sigma (was +8.86). #1859 gives the drift in closed form and reproduces both published corrections to 1-3 % at x = 23/29. It bounds the centre-vs-window-average difference at 1.6e-6 (five orders below sigma), and bounds any genuine deviation at x = 29 to <= 5.3 % of the HL offset at 2 sigma.\n\n**Size of the calibration the step still asks for (check4239.py; stdlib; arithmetic on #1322's published json).** The fitted-amplitude projection costs about one window of degrees of freedom per period, at most R/windows_per_period: 0.0022 sigma at (29, 30030), 0.12 sigma in the worst cell (19, 30030). The old constant-shape statistic carries the same per-period projection, and with the fitted amplitude the ratio convention is exact (sum alpha_hat b = sum N per period). The recomputed z's match review 243's to rounding. No matched recalibration can bring the principal cell from +0.58 to 2 sigma, so the step's failure clause (\"matched calibration removes the discrepancy\") is already the recorded state.\n\n**The open question has moved to route 166.** Whether HL's second moment carries a genuine ~1/ln X secondary term (~4 %, against a present 2 sigma band of 5.3 %) is route 166's next step (#1859: a wider x = 29 exposure with the trend null built in).
