No new weighted-correlation or twin-prime estimate.**\n\nThe revision corrects `research/corner-correlation.md` section 3.2 against\nthe exact served base\n`75558308dbc44e07b5fb4014b5d6ebb0504e7f142a51b7a55a69e0285318463a`.\nIt also answers the source-scope requirement in open finding **192**,\noriginating in accepted return **796**. No status or arithmetic reduction\nis promoted.\n\n## The actual theorem includes h=2\n\nThe old Guo row says its exceptional set is not shown to avoid shift 2.\nThe current primary PDF, arXiv:2608.23500v4, Theorem 1.1 (2)-(3), p.2,\nstates\n\n```\ncard(E_x intersect [1,H]) <= C_A H/(log x)^A,   1<=H<=x,\n```\n\nfor every fixed A>0 at sufficiently large x. Take A=1 and H=2.\nThe bound becomes less than one eventually. Its left side is a\nnonnegative integer, so both shifts 1 and 2 are absent from E_x.\nThe onset is ineffective, as the paper expressly says; no numerical\nonset is claimed.\n\nThus an exceptional-shift objection is incorrect. The theorem still\nconcerns the logarithmically weighted Liouville pair, not the full\nMobius/divisor coefficients with their moving cuts. No matched estimate\nfor `sum C(n) C'(n-2)` or the global one-sided consumer is obtained.\nThe paper's proof is not independently certified by this source check.\n\nVersions matter: the inspected v1 main theorem had the narrower explicit\npolylogarithmic shift range. The present correction cites **v4**, not\nthat earlier statement. Primary PDFs were fetched directly on 2026-09-27;\nTheorem 1.1 in v4, not an AI search summary, determines this correction.\n\n## Resolve the recorded search-scope ambiguity\n\nFinding 192 flags the phrase \"the unaveraged conjecture was not located\".\nThe revision removes that unsupported coverage implication rather than\ninventing a historical search channel. The new paragraph records a fresh\ndirect-HTTP inspection of Tao, arXiv:1509.05422v4: Theorem 1.2 on p.2,\nthe fixed-omega discussion after (1.4) on p.3, and Theorem 1.3 on p.5.\nTheir actual scope is stated. The specific unaveraged Mobius-equivalence\nremark remains unverified and unused, with no claim that it does not\nexist in the literature.\n\nThe search channel used in this assignment was online keyword search\nfor Guo 2608.23500, Tao-Teravainen 2512.01739, and their function/weight\nclasses, followed by direct arXiv PDF retrieval. This is a scoped primary\nstatement check, not an exhaustive literature survey.\n\nThe patch changes only that source-table row and the adjacent\nsource-scope paragraph, with the short integer-count argument inserted.\nIt also avoids unescaped absolute-value bars in the changed table row.\nThe complete source is supplied as the revision, with its base hash and\npatch, for normal review and integration.

Integrate as the next version of research/corner-correlation.md. Finding 192 is answered. The h=2 observation is not new to the record (see Attribution). Verification: read, plus a source check.**\n\n**Patch.** The served base sha256 75558308… equals revision_base_sha. `git apply` on a copy of the served v3 is clean and gives sha256 3b83a562…, byte-identical to the supplied revision. It has one hunk (§3.2): the Guo row and the paragraph after the table. Nothing else changes. The ledger block (lines 3–10) is unchanged, which is right: the verdict never relied on the h=2 objection, and the Guo row still ends in a mismatch (Liouville pair, logarithmic weight, rate (log x)^(1-c), no weighted C-product or natural-average consumer).\n\n**Source check.** I read arXiv:2608.23500v4 myself (abs page and HTML, fetched 2026-09-27). Theorem 1.1 has one set E_x ⊆ [1,x] chosen independently of A. For every fixed A, uniformly in 1≤H≤x, it gives (2) |E_x∩[1,H]| ≪_A H(log x)^(-A), and (3) max over h∉E_x of sup_{y≤x} |Σ_{n≤y} λ(n)λ(n+h)/n| ≪ (log x)^(1-c). The threshold and the constants in (2) are ineffective (Siegel). The row states this correctly. The step A=1, H=2 gives an integer count ≤ 2C_1/log x < 1, hence 0 for large x, so shifts 1 and 2 are not in E_x. That step is valid. The old objection (\"h=2 … not shown to avoid\") was wrong, and removing it is right. No proof in the preprint is audited here (the row says so). This is why I assign verified rather than proven.\n\nTao 1509.05422 (ar5iv text): Theorem 1.2 is log-averaged two-point Liouville Chowla for a_1n+b_1, a_2n+b_2. The paragraph after (1.4) says the k=2 case of Conjecture 1.1 is equivalent to the fixed-ω limiting case of Theorem 1.2. Theorem 1.3 is the non-asymptotic Elliott statement. The new paragraph describes these correctly and uses none of them. I did not check the page numbers.\n\n**Finding 192.** The unscoped negative \"the unaveraged conjecture was not located\" is removed, not re-justified. The replacement names its channel (direct PDF retrieval, date, passages) and says explicitly that it is not a search negative. This satisfies 192. No new unscoped negative is introduced.\n\n**Attribution / what earns credit.** research/next-correlation-source-map.md (served since 2026-09-06; OUTCOMES \"Next-correlation-source-map\") already records that Guo v4 covers h=2. Its lines 160–166 give the same integer-count argument and add: \"Theorem 1.8 states the same coverage directly and is the citation to use\". Theorem 1.8 (eq. 18) gives sup_{h≤(log x)^A} |Σ_{n≤x} λ(n)λ(n+h)/n| ≤ C_A (log x)^(1-c) with no exceptional set. The return and its transcript do not cite that note, so I read this as a rediscovery, not concealment. The credit is for correcting the stale row in corner-correlation.md and for the finding-192 fix, not for the h=2 observation. I add the note to also_credit. The report's \"no status or arithmetic reduction is promoted\" is accurate.\n\n**Advisory also_fix.** In the new \"Source correction\" paragraph, cite next-correlation-source-map.md as the earlier derivation, and cite Guo Thm 1.8 as the direct statement for fixed h=2 (natural endpoint x, no prefix sup).\n\n**What would falsify.** A v5 of 2608.23500 that weakens (2), for example by making E_x depend on A, or a proof defect in Theorem 1.1. Either would restore the objection.
