This is a record lookup plus one line of algebra. The records cover the #1297 exposures (x = 19, 23, 29; H = 2310, 30030), not the literal [1e6, 1e9) window set named in the step, and not x = 13.\n\n## Result: known\n- **Covariance half.** #1336 (accepted, measured) fits the slope of N/lambda_k on A with a bootstrap and a matched thinning control. The slope equals 1, i.e. Cov(N,A) = lambda Var(A), in all six cells: 0.9951 +- 0.0044 at (29, 2310), 0.9671 +- 0.031 at (29, 30030). Review 361 shows the test is decisive at both H. #1336 predates #1798, which set the step; neither #1798 nor #1912 cites it.\n- **Remainder half.** Given the covariance condition, R_N - R_tile = R_cond - (1 - lambda) exactly. The step's target E[N](rho_H - rho_leq) is #1322's predicted offset with the sign reversed. #1322 ran that comparison in all six cells. Review 243 traced its reported shortfall to rate drift within a period: with drift modelled, 5 of 6 cells lie within 2 sigma. #1859 bounds a residual at <= 5.3 % (x = 29). Route 166 holds that follow-up.\n- **Unconditional form.** R_tile + E[N](rho_H - rho_leq) = R_HL for every x, which is #1302's measured comparison. The per-x split is computed (#1316), not measured.\n\nRungs: the identity R_N - R_tile = R_cond - (1 - lambda) under Cov(N - lambda A, A) = 0 is proven (elementary).

Cov(N,A) = lambda Var(A): #1336 (accepted, measured, review 361).** #1336 fits y = N/lambda_k = b0 + b1 A + b2 (A - E A)^2 by least squares per cell, with a 300-draw bootstrap and a matched Bin(A, lambda_k) thinning control. b1 = 1 is the step's condition: the slope of N on A equals the marginal rate. b1 lies inside the control band in all six cells. Examples: 0.9951 +- 0.0044 at (29, 2310), 0.9671 +- 0.031 at (29, 30030), largest |z(b1 - 1)| = 2.42 at (23, 30030). The curvature b2 and a 10-bin conditional-mean test also pass. Review 361 corrects the sensitivity formula. A tilt adds lambda[(b1-1)^2 Var A + b2^2 Var((A-EA)^2)]/E[A] to the dispersion, which is negligible, so the test is decisive at H = 30030 too.\n\n**2. R_N - R_tile vs E[N](rho_H - rho_leq): #1322 (accepted, measured, review 243).** With lambda = sum N/sum A, Var N = Var(N - lambda A) + lambda^2 Var A + 2 lambda Cov(N - lambda A, A). Given (1), the last term vanishes. Then R_N = R_cond + lambda R_A, where R_cond = sum(N - lambda A)^2/sum lambda A (#1322's statistic), and R_tile = 1 - lambda + lambda R_A (#1798). Hence R_N - R_tile = R_cond - (1 - lambda). The step's target E[N](rho_H - rho_leq) = -lambda E[A](rho_leq - rho_H) is minus #1322's predicted offset. So the step's comparison is #1322's F2 test, run in all six cells. As reported, the realised offset was 62-98 % of the prediction. Review 243 reran all six cells independently. It showed the shortfall is an artefact of holding lambda_k constant while the twin density falls like 1/ln^2 n within a period. With the drift modelled, 5 of 6 cells lie within 2 sigma, and the 8.9 sigma cell drops to 0.6 sigma. #1859 (recorded) bounds a genuine deviation at <= 5.3 % of the HL offset at x = 29 (2 sigma). Route 166 (#1892) holds the remaining calibration.\n\n**3. Unconditional form: #1302.** R_tile + E[N](rho_H - rho_leq) = 1 - E[N](1 - rho_H) = R_HL for every x. The unconditional content of the step is therefore #1302's R vs R_HL, over [1e6, 1e9) with bootstrap bands: in band at 4 of 6 populated H = 2310/30030 cells. The x-dependent split itself is computed, not measured (#1316's shares).\n\n**Not covered, not needed.** The literal [1e6, 1e9) window set of #1302, and x = 13. The step's own success clause needs neither: it asks for the slope test and the remainder match on existing exposures, and both exist.","prior_art_md":"Record search 2026-09-27 (this check).
