Section 3.4 correctly states the prime-cofactor condition q^3 > p_next^2-1, then incorrectly extends its prime-count description to all young primes q^2 > p. At p=29, p_next=31, q=7, independent enumeration gives 36 fresh integers, whereas prime cofactors give 30. The six missing integers are 343,539,637,833,847,931; their cofactors are 49,77,91,119,121,133. The patch restores the cube condition in the prose.\n\nSection 4(D3) also replaces (p_next^2-p^2)/p by an asymptotic 4. Its exact value is 2*Delta+Delta^2/p, where Delta=p_next-p. At p=113, p_next=127, the youngest prime has five fresh integers, from cofactors 113,127,131,137,139. The original finite observation of two to four through p=97 is retained with its range. The claimed O(K) youngest-prime load does not follow uniformly in p from this formula or that finite observation, so the revision removes that inference. The five-count example alone is not claimed to refute every possible uniform bound.\n\nThe independent checker attached to #2010 validates the youngest count and extra-pair criterion over all 45 prime levels 5<=p<=211, and separately checks the six omitted composite cofactors. All assertions pass. The exact count for q=p remains valid; Bertrand supplies p_next^2<p^3 for p>=5. No tail-window census is relabelled, no anchored tail bound is proved, and Q-zone-tail stays PARTIAL.\n\nSources: research/history/staging/zonegap-02-reduction.md sections 3.4 and 4(D3), served base 3f35bdaea5d8835e15c85c66218220deb02028059a60e5a9f0dbf11ee2d66e40; return #2010 for the full explanation, independent checker and output.

Integrate revision 124c39e9… as the next version of research/history/staging/zonegap-02-reduction.md, credited to @natepac. **Verification: spot.** Reviewed by claude-opus-5-5 in a fresh session (claim msg 4610).\n\n**Patch.** The served file is at the declared base 3f35bdae…. The patch passes `git apply --check` and applies strictly on a copy (core.autocrlf=false), giving sha256 124c39e9… = revision_sha = the attached zonegap-02-revised.md. `diff` shows four changed regions in three hunks and nothing else: the ledger verdict line, §3.4's young-prime sentence, and D3 plus the first line of Consequence (adjacent, so one hunk). The report calls this \"four-hunk\". The status stays PARTIAL; no rung or census is relabelled.\n\n**§3.4, checked by hand.** A fresh kill of q in the zone is n = q·m < p'^2 with all prime factors of m ≥ q. A composite m is ≥ q², so the prime count π(⌊(p'^2−1)/q⌋) − π(q−1) is exact iff q³ > p'^2 − 1. That is the condition the served formula already states; the served prose then extended it to every q² > p, which is wrong. Witness: p = 29, q = 7. We have (961−1)/7 = 137, and there are 30 primes in [7, 137]. The composite m ≤ 137 with lpf ≥ 7 are 49, 77, 91, 119, 121 and 133 (143 > 137), giving 36 in total. The new prose (\"counted by Φ*; reduces to a prime count only when q³ > p'^2 − 1\") is correct in both directions.\n\n**D3, checked by hand.** (p+Δ)² − p² = 2pΔ + Δ², so the length is 2Δ + Δ²/p. It is ~4 only when Δ = 2, so \"~ 4\" was wrong in general. At p = 113, p' = 127, ⌊16128/113⌋ = 142 and the primes in [113, 142] are 113, 127, 131, 137 and 139, i.e. 5. The retained \"2, 3 or 4 to 97\" is still true. The count is 1 + #primes in [p', p' + Δ + Δ²/p], and after a large gap Δ that is heuristically of size Δ/ln p, which is not bounded. So \"O(K) uniform in p\" was never proven, and removing it is right. The return is careful to claim no refutation.\n\n**Spot rerun.** #2010 is recorded, not reviewed, so no independent execution of youngest-striker-check.js existed, and it is cheap and decisive for both witnesses. It was run unmodified with Node 22.23.2 under `timeout 60` and ulimit -t 60. It exits 0, all assertions pass, and stdout is byte-identical to 09d369b8…. The code is a direct spf enumeration over (p, p'^2) compared with the prime-cofactor list, 45 levels 5 ≤ p ≤ 211, plus the separate p = 29/q = 7 block. It checks what the report says.\n\n**Residual defect (also_fix, not introduced but re-asserted by this patch).** The edited Consequence line now reads \"the young primes' total contribution is a handful of kills at the checked levels only\". For young primes as §3.4 defines them (√p < q ≤ p), the total of fresh zone kills is 96 at p = 29, 1,082 at p = 97 and 1,812 at p = 113. That is my own spf count (young_total.js, 0.1 s). Only the youngest, q = p, gives a handful (2, 3 and 5 at those levels). The sentence should name q = p (or the just-onset primes of D1/D2). This is an improvement over the served text, not a regression, so it does not block acceptance. Also, the ledger's \"finite load counts imply no uniform O(K) bound\" can be read as \"there is no bound\"; D3's body says the correct thing (\"do not establish\").\n\n**Credit.** The return cites #2010, where both findings and the checker were first recorded; #2010 cites the author's claim 4602. Nothing is missing, and the computation is not claimed twice. The pair is legitimate: #2011 is the patch that carries #2010's finding. Closed routes (OUTCOMES.md) hold no closure on this. **What would falsify:** a lpf-q integer in (29, 961) outside the 36 listed, or a hunk changing anything besides these four regions. I found neither.","also_fix":[{"note":"§4 Consequence: \"the young primes' total contribution is a handful of kills at the checked levels only\" is false for young primes as §3.4 defines them (q^2 > p, q <= p).
