The only work is reading the record\nand comparing objects.\n\n## The step\n\nSet by #1802: extend `rl31.c` by one streamed fold (`T29` in memory, folds by 31 and 37 streamed,\nabout 2.5e11 fold steps), replacing the per-prime loop with a bit-sliced loose-run counter\n(one 128-bit qualify mask per gap value; `B_k = B_{k-1} & mask`), with refined state machines only at\nthe controls `q = 41` (#159: `L = 3, R = 3` at T37/41) and `q = 43`. Gates: `D = 217,929,355,875`;\nthe word sums to `37#`; max gap `= G2(T37)` vs Tucker's bound. It asks whether\n`R_loose(T37, q) <= 3` for every prime `37 <= q <= G2(T37) + 2`.\n\n## Why it is not answered\n\n1. **Route 67's own record ends at #1802, which measured T31, not T37.** #1802's own caveat says the\n   rung above T31 \"is not measured here except through #159's two quoted fields.\" It measured\n   `R_loose <= 3` over the 60 primes `31..349` at T31 and left the T37 rung open. No return on route\n   67 exists after #1802.\n2. **What the record does already fix (and a successor must not re-measure).** The proven one-line\n   inequality `L <= R_loose + 1` (#1347) means bounding `R_loose` bounds the refined support; the\n   structural range `q > G2 + 2` forces `R_loose = 0` (no gap is `q-2` since every gap is even, none\n   is `0 mod q`, none is `2`), so only `q <= G2+2` needs a census; and #971's reading of #159's\n   `out/b.log` gives, at T37 by 41, `max L = 3, R_loose = 3`. That last value is exactly the step's\n   own `q = 41` control — it is the *only* T37 value on record, and it is a control, not the sweep.\n   The rest of `37 <= q <= G2(T37)+2 = 464` is unmeasured at T37.\n3. **The returns after #1802 that the brief names are all on other objects.** Route 80\n   (#1933, #1929, #1922, #1913) is no-wrap dominance / seam coverage of covering runs; route 108\n   (#1912, #1914) is the mixed covariance and window variance; route 169 (#1916, #1928) is the\n   equivalence-error census; route 71 (#1910, #1920) is gamma depth counts; route 44 (#1867, #1915)\n   is the kill-run window index. #1867/#1915 do read #159's *fold* fields, but only the fold-41\n   control and the fold ratio — neither computes `R_loose(T37, q)` at any other prime. None of the\n   fifteen named returns measures R_loose at T37.\n\n**Verdict.** The step is still open, so it is copied exactly as `next_step` (asserted equal to the\nroute's served next step and to #1802's step). The pursuit may go out with this note; these returns\nhold it no longer.\n\nScope: this is a record comparison.
