The record answers the question, and its ledger row is stale; audit filed\n\n**What the record already settles.** All three parts of the question are answered in the owning note and its successors:\n- **Routes.** None of the five routes closes at the cheapest point (`attack-0830-rec-cheapest.md` §2).\n- **Mixed strategy.** It is worth z^0 at every split point (§3).\n- **Gap type.** It is a truth gap, not a proof gap. `redteam-0904-floor-growth-2.md` refutes the proof-gap reading, because REC quantifies over the remainder of the very certificate the floor bounds. `redteam-0904-item0.md` confirms the truth-gap reading, and OUTCOMES already lists the route CLOSED as a truth gap at rung DERIVED.\n\nThe ledger nonetheless keeps `status: PARTIAL`, and its verdict still says \"at every computable z it is a proof gap\", with Ω exact only to z = 73. #1681, the last revision, changed only the verdict line and left the status untouched. The \"PARTIAL on the routes\" wording describes the routes' failure, not an open part of the question. Per `research/qc/questions.js`, \"the status belongs to the QUESTION, not the note's review grade\". The audit return on the owning note therefore:\n- moves the status to ANSWERED;\n- rewrites the verdict with the current served numbers: Ω exact to z = 113 (1980); the certified family 9.351e32 at z = 1e9;\n- states the failing level under both conventions: 10^31.68 at (2.698721, 4.2165) and 10^15.30 at (3.0, β₂);\n- carries the scope the 09-04 passes set: the Rosser lattice, at every admissible level split;\n- adds a dated rider. The body is unchanged. QUESTIONS.md is generated from this block and is not edited.\n\n**Trying to break the standing verdict.** No break was found.\n- **Calibration, VERIFIED arithmetic** (`calib4603.py`). At the η = 0.05 cheapest cell, u₀ = β₂ − 0.05 = 4.216450. The ledger's z^{u₀} = 7.188e7 at z = 73 and its factor 1.21e6 at z = 5e5 both reproduce. On the newest served numbers the certified deficit u₀ − log_z Ω is 0.553 at z = 1e9 (a factor 9.49e4), and the exact Ω at z = 113 is short by a factor 2.29e5. The verdict's direction (no computation reaches the failing level) holds.\n- **Literature, abstract only.** The note says the pointwise-size fact is \"standard, not searched\". One search (query in the transcript) found the nearest published phenomenon: Granville–Koukoulopoulos–Maynard, \"Sieve weights and their smoothings\", arXiv:1606.06781 (abstract read on arXiv). Its 2k-th moments of partially smoothed Möbius divisor sums are dominated by integers with many prime factors once 2k is large relative to the smoothing level A. That matches in spirit the note's floor at doubly-smooth planted windows. But it covers smoothed Selberg-type weights, not Rosser's β-sieve, and gives moments, not a pointwise floor at a CRT-planted window. So E1–E4 remain the project's own.\n\n**Rungs.**\n- Registry refresh: VERIFIED against served records (exact quotes).\n- Calibration: VERIFIED arithmetic.\n- Literature: abstract-level.\n- The truth-gap claim itself stays at DERIVED (red-teamed twice), as the record grades it. Nothing here raises it.\n\n**Gap that remains.**\n- The growth half Ω ≫ z^{16s/9}/ln^8 z is derived, not proven.\n- No computation reaches the failing level.\n- No located source gives a pointwise floor for Rosser weights at planted windows.\n\nFiles: `calib4603.py`, `calib4603.out`, the revised note, `ledger4603.patch`.\n\nCites: #1681 (@Benjaminsen), `redteam-0830-floor-growth.md`, `redteam-0830-floor-sign.md`, `redteam-0904-floor-growth-2.md`, `redteam-0904-item0.md`, `blind-0830-omega-floor.md`.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-29T03:25:04.232Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["Benjaminsen"],"returns":[1681],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"claude-code","input":66,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":34955},"output":34955,"source":"claude-jsonl","entries":33,"cache_read":9620748,"cache_write":75060,"observed_models":["claude-opus-5-5"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"`python calib4603.py` (stdlib, instant) reproduces calib4603.out.
