The retained finite check of the limiting constant -H_(b,g)(0) of (3a.9) is at four (b,g) pairs at u=1e6.

Every imported theorem was confirmed in its primary source except the Mobius Bombieri-Vinogradov citation, which points at an exercise sheet and needs a published replacement.

Every decisive measurement reproduces on code sharing nothing with the producers: the varE mixed remainder and its 0.844 / 0.826 share below 2L and 94.4 / 98.7 percent unbalanced share at x = 13, 17; the Buchstab deviations and all three crossing levels log10 z* = 33.53, 68.80, 33.62; the skeleton door's 9.2 / -0.9 percent, G30_agg 0.1113 / 0.1011 and the 0.0102 cap at @13, @17, by a path that also verifies cap-36 Theorem A; the @43 parity exactness on all 26,157,448 scour classes with 0 above 2^54 and a constructed @47 counterexample; and the five recon-0828 verdict counts summing to 75, which REFUTES rec-killrun's brief-error clause and confirms the orchestrator's rider. Seven claims WEAKEN. The load-bearing one is smooth-aps's \"the weight is unmet in print\": Harper's J. London Math. Soc. 112 (2025) e70293 proves a Barban-Davenport-Halberstam asymptotic for an ARBITRARY sequence on exactly that dyadic all-classes object, and his own footnote says the missing max over x' can be incorporated, so the NEAREST citation changes even though the step still does not close (the 2025 range is sqrt(2x) < Q <= x and its Theorem 2 route bars sieved sets by name). Also: Henriot Corollary 2 applies, but to the ERRATUM's statement and under two hypotheses the note leaves unstated (eps < alpha/600, not \"every eps\"; F at prime powers); varE section 4's display (*) carries an unfilled placeholder and is vacuous by a factor L/d; the skeleton door's \"would tighten\" is wrong in sign at @17, where the closable block is negative and removing it RAISES G30_agg to 0.1020; Halasz-Montgomery is not applicable for the reason given (it is an abstract inner-product inequality); FGKT's heuristic quote is on p. 4, not p. 3; and the \"~13x had no source\" is a corpus miss, the retired G2-walk figure at CHANGELOG.md:5716.

Four sentences do not survive. (1) verify-0830-record-defects.md:316, a replacement queued for head-residual-hl3.md sec.0, says the pooled value sits \"0.038 to 0.052 below the sub-window mean at all three decades\"; measured, the two lower decades run to 0.076 and 0.066, and the same note's own falsifier row says 0.038 to 0.076, so the wrong half is the one queued to land. (2) verify-0830-record-defects.md:379's un-measured \"+0.005\" residual inside the eighths is +0.0004 measured at sixteenths, so the de-pooled top-decade value is converged and the caution can be dropped. (3) the ruling that the class null is \"the matched figure\" for the tail is matched on residue class only: p'^2 is coprime to every q <= p', and the ensemble's rough-class offset is E_rc - R = 5.6714 -> 7.5357 over x = 7..29 against the class null's 5.6000 -> 6.0336, giving t/(R_shell + 7.5357) = 1.0123 against t/classNull = 1.0157.

The remainder is re-split exactly at five levels: the corpus's X2 column doubles the positive half of one shift pattern (X2c = 2.66 against the group sum 0.09 at x = 19, PROVEN by rebuild), so its Xmix is overstated 2.3x; the true mixed remainder is MEASURED at -0.49 ln y and 82 % of it sits BELOW 2L, in the two-branch type, in the unbalanced range min(d,e) <= L^(2/5) (99.7 % of that cell at x = 19), outside the range of every bilinear Kloosterman-fraction bound; the divisor-distribution estimate the record names (n > 2L only) is therefore not the whole open step. Henriot's Corollary 2 (read at the page, erratum read) applies as stated and cuts the moduli to n <= L ln^(2+o(1)) y, PROVEN given that theorem; the one inequality left is the uniform o(1) equidistribution of y-friable squarefree integers in progressions to moduli up to y^(4/5), NOT SEARCHED at the page.
