The step's |Q| = 3 half is open as written. Its uniform check C half has one missed case and an unreachable success clause, both fixed below. Only pstar4294.py ran (stdlib, 8.5 s).\n\n**1. The named returns do not answer the step (read, compared).**\n- #1867 (route 44): #159's deciding window index at theta = G2.

It lists #1827 only as a place searched.\n- #1845 (route 3): the rank of A_k under random cyclic arrangements (#351). A different object.\n- #1832 (route 98): B >= A-1 refuted by #1267 (K* across a base change). No wrap/seam content.\n- #1829 (route 38): the truncation length L_anch^(q). It concerns runs over q copies, not the block seam.\nRoute 80's own record ends at #1827 (pending, no review). No return after it treats |Q| = 3 seams or a uniform check C.\n\n**2. The step misses the s = p* case (verified, pstar4294.py).** The copy needs no p*-only offset (p* the only prime <= x dividing (j-1)(j+1)) inside the seam window. The step lists these as +-(p*+1) and s*p* +- 1 with s > x. But s = p* qualifies when p*^2 - 2 is prime. p*^2 + 2 is always divisible by 3. That gives the offset -(p*^2 - 1) < p*·x. An exhaustive search of prime levels 23 <= x <= 997 (p* as the step defines it) finds this at 51 of 160 levels, 12 of them with p* < x (e.g. x = 239, p* = 233: d = 54288 vs p*·x = 55687). The correction is small, since seam windows are about 10^3 wide at x = 997 (#1827: G = 1050). The step's lemma should say 'below d(x)'.\n\n**3. The uniform success clause needs an open twin-prime input (proven implication).** Any two-sided seam window reaches offsets +-(r_0 + 1), so the copy needs r_0 + 1 < d(x). An odd n in (1, x^2 - 2) with n and n + 2 both x-rough is the smaller member of a twin prime pair above x. So, whenever r_0 < x^2 - 2, r_0 is the least twin prime above x (#1827's lazy2930.out: g0 = 1020, r_0 = 1019 at x = 997). At the levels with p*^2 - 2 prime, d(x) = p*^2 - 1 < x^2. There the copy needs a twin prime pair in (x, p*^2 - 2), and an all-x proof would need this at every such level. That is a twin-prime Bertrand-type statement, open (whether infinitely many p*^2 - 2 are prime is itself open, so this is not a reduction to the twin prime conjecture). The clause 'check C holds for all x >= 23 whenever l_max <= (p*-3)/2' therefore needs the side condition r_(l_max-1) + 1 < d(x), the same kind of condition as #1543's r_0 <= 2.2x (verified to 10^6, open beyond).\n\n**Restated step.** Part A is unchanged.
