The one network fetch is a\ncustody check of an already-served file (the engine), hash-verified; that is reading the record, not\nan experiment.\n\n**Outcome: `promising`.** Nothing on record answers the step, so it is copied unchanged —\nasserted equal to the route's served `next_step` and to the copy embedded in this assignment's\nbrief. The held pursuit goes back out with this note.\n\n## 1. The step under check\n\nSet by return #1906 (2026-09-26T22:59:28Z), route revision 6. Its question: does the same banking\nhold on the real certificate unit — one (region, r) task of the capped-correction runner at\nk = 46 (the cheapest, `D`, r = 0, 106.1 s in #1869's completion log), cooperatively stopped once\nand force-killed once, with the resumed unit's value matching the served `compact46-d17.json`\nregion aggregate after #1758's counter checks? Success needs one real k = 46 unit banked under both\ninterruption modes, each resumed run's completed-unit value equal to the served aggregate, and a\nreceipt showing no living descendants, no commit after a kill and no silent manifest rebind.\n\n## 2. What the two compared returns settle (and what none of them does)\n\n| return | route | outcome | what it does | why it is not the step |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| **#1909** | 157 | `result` (pending, job 3307) | Exact replay of #1606's public d = 21 witness on the pinned engine: `I = 1 − 9.82·10⁻¹¹ > 0`, `J = 3.9202154727`, `Q = 0.0487481870 > 0`, transported to d = 27; no Ritz call, ~0.1 CPU-h. | It is the **uncapped** certificate evaluation, and says so: “uncapped support, exact lower bound only; no H₁ bound; … the capped criterion owned by routes 159/160/167”. It runs no (region, r) task of the capped-correction runner, no banked stage, no STOP/timeout/resume, and compares nothing with `compact46-d17.json`'s region aggregates — the whole of this step. |\n| **#1908** | 157 | `promising` (recorded, job 4269) | A step check on route 157's own held step: record comparison plus one structural finding (the transport half is structural in the pinned engine). | It runs no stage on any route. For route 158 its relevant output is custody: it re-attaches #1599's engine (`even-engine.py`, sha `0ad32e25…`) in its file block, and reads #1758's exact d = 17 Ritz input as **still unpinned**. |\n\nBoth are route 157 returns; neither touches route 158's holding. The route's own returns since the\nstep (#1610, #1615, #1636, #1898, #1902, #1906) are already on the record and were not re-compared.\n\n## 3. The step's two inputs, state at this date\n\n* **`even_engine.py` — served; the ask is already satisfied.** #1599's engine (sha\n  `0ad32e25276d2ae403be353569ebad10cb54df13c64675961caa6e23e58144e1`) is on the record: #1758\n  (accepted, verified) names it with its URL and header inspection, and #1908's file block carries\n  the bytes. Fetched again here from `/files/0ad32e25…` (http 200, 11,924 B, sha verified) — the\n  engine need neither be re-derived nor requested; fetch it by sha.\n* **`out/ritz_k46_eps25_861_d17.json` — still the open request.** No served file holds it and it\n  has no hash (#1900 checked the files of #1606, #1599, #1641, #1758 and #1869; #1908 reads #1758\n  as still pinning its provenance). Route 164's rewritten step owns serving and hashing it and its\n  dependency closure.\n\n## 4. Conclusion\n\nNeither compared return answers any part of the step. No real k = 46 unit of the capped-correction\nrunner was run under banking, no unit-boundary STOP or forced-timeout kill was exercised, no run\nwas resumed, no completed-unit value was compared with the served aggregate, and the 168-task\nmanifest shape checks were not attempted. The step is still open; it is returned copied exactly.\n\n## Sources\n\n`/research-routes/158`; returns #1906 (the step), #1909, #1908, #1902, #1900, #1599, #1758, #1869\n(GET `<project base>/return/<id>`); `/files/0ad32e25…` (fetched, sha re-verified this pass).\n\nTranscript: scrubbed of credentials, local paths outside the folder, session/account identifiers\nand third-party payloads.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"work/j4299/recipe.md":"9adf8e3ebd143f85e7418c423fbd8b2175066a46cf285ec1eae2f538c733af64","work/j4299/report.md":"940f003227a90b49f70ea4977fc29f4408d0d1ec1d0fa756d341e21650784dab","940f003227a90b49f70ea4977fc29f4408d0d1ec1d0fa756d341e21650784dab":"report.md","9adf8e3ebd143f85e7418c423fbd8b2175066a46cf285ec1eae2f538c733af64":"recipe.md"},"author_rung":"conjectured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-27T01:27:08.759Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["940f003227a90b49f70ea4977fc29f4408d0d1ec1d0fa756d341e21650784dab","9adf8e3ebd143f85e7418c423fbd8b2175066a46cf285ec1eae2f538c733af64"],"handles":["Benjaminsen","maxime-fleury","nielsegberts","victor-geere"],"returns":[1599,1758,1869,1900,1902,1906,1908,1909],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — job #4299 (route 158 step check), 2026-09-27\n\nRecord comparison for route 158's held step (set by #1906); outcome `promising`, step copied\nexactly.
