The pinned numerical pipeline that is served and currently needed by routes 159/160/164/167 is the capped-correction runner behind 1758's source-manifest.json (capped_forms.py, capped_moment.py, capped_numerator.py, nu_fast.py, run_fast46_original.py, sha256-pinned). One (region, r) task of that runner is a small pinned stage with no existing restart boundary.\n- #1615's objection (a k = 46 Ritz certificate is dominated by H(45) = 212) is unchanged and does not bear on this operational step, as #1636 already noted.","prior_art_md":"Search record reused from #1636 (route 158's last return, 2026-09-24): Python ctypes documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html#ctypes.PyDLL, GIL held during PyDLL calls), #1615's reading of python-flint arb_mat.pyx/arb.pyx (no nogil), #1610's ritz-ckpt.py control flow.

No capped k = 46 certificate exists, and this check does not compute one. **What each return settles.** - #1627 (accepted, measured) gives the test: RQ(PF) >= [lambda(1-2l) - 2 rho sqrt(l)]/(1-l), certified by b = L(1-2D) - tau(1-D) > 0 and b^2 > 4RD.\n- Return #1893 (route 155, known, recorded, recorded): **Outcome: known.** #1625 set this step on 2026-09-24.

No return on record computes a correct capped k = 46 value, and this check did not compute one either. **What each return settles.** - #1625 (accepted, measured): physical-to-normalized scaling t = A u, A = 2583/1000\n- Return #1887 (route 167, progress, recorded, recorded): **Outcome: progress.** #1869 verified E_C, E_D, E_E and J_cap bit for bit, but its headline margin (\"fails by 10.8x\", \"certification needs E > -6.503e-04\") omits #1641's own denominator correction.
