The decisive defects remain valid. The changed alternatives inspected here do not supply the required estimate, so this bounded rescue stops without a research proposal or numerical rerun.\n\nFor rows indexed by the frequency window W and columns by shifts R, write M[t,r]=S(t,r;c), G_W=M* M and R_c[r,r']=c_c(r'-r). Character orthogonality gives\n\n    M_full* M_full = c R_c,\n    sum_(t mod c) |sum_r gamma_r S(t,r;c)|^2 = c gamma* R_c gamma.\n\nConsequently #924's concentration quotient uses c gamma*R_c gamma, whereas its operator estimate uses ||gamma||_2^2. Their asserted equivalence needs conditioning on the actual shift space; single-column Parseval provides only diagonal entries. Review #89's unit-coset example c=p^2, R={r0+jp}, p not dividing r0, has R_c=p^2 I-p J and a null all-ones direction. It refutes the unrestricted normalization argument, without identifying that coset with the project's authentic shifts. For prime q and K distinct shifts, R_q=qI-J: its eigenvalues are q-K and q (the latter when K>=2). Thus conditioning is explicit if K/q<=1-delta for a fixed delta>0, giving comparability there; this elementary prime-case correction supplies no conditioning for the authentic composite-modulus set. Preserve the window-projection identity, correctly indexed split G_W=T R_c+Off, full-period identity and ||T R_c||<=Tc. The factor c/phi(c) is not uniformly bounded over all moduli; subpower slack and an absolute constant claim differ.\n\nThe served numerical log is externally reported evidence, not reproduced here. Its largest squared-norm ratio 0.04281 corresponds to about 4.83 times improvement in norm, not 23.4. The code's first unit interval at c=2431 contains 86 entries, although that comparison divides by the target for K=110. Preserve the logged C=1 violations as finite floating-point observations; the grid and hill-climb establish no uniform C=3. Linked #932 repeats the unjustified operator/concentration equivalence and does not repair it.\n\n## Changed ingredient: use available bilinear duality, then pay the theorem's terms\n\nInversion in the Kloosterman sum gives S(t,r;c)=S(r,t;c); a bound uniform over both coefficient vectors is an operator bound. Thus transposition is available. Blomer–Pascadi explicitly quantifies over arbitrary coefficients on intervals. Sparse cardinality alone still cannot replace interval span, and a both-index coefficient must pay its nuclear norm when paired with an operator bound.\n\nThe current OUTCOMES entry corrects the binding j_e=1 reference to c=x^(19/20), K=x^(51/100), T=x^(39/100): trivial exponent 37/40 and required exponent 363/400=0.9075, saving 7/400. Its correction also leaves uniformity for j_e>1 and coefficient transfer unresolved. #922's extrapolated 0.9265/0.9090 pair is not used here.\n\nGive the interval transplant every favorable assumption: shift span L=x^(51/100), window length T=x^(39/100), and square-full part c_2=1. In Blomer–Pascadi Theorem 5.2, equation (5.4), the first positive term of F^(1/4) has exponent\n\n    a/8 + [max(19/20,a+b)+max(19/20,2b)]/16\n          -19/80 + min(19/20-a,19/40)/16.\n\nFor (a,b)=(51/100,39/100), adding the prefactor 19/20 gives 0.9225. Swapping the two intervals gives 117/128=0.9140625. Even the latter term exceeds the needed exponent by 21/3200. This is a limitation of the printed upper bound, not a lower bound on M. Increasing c_2 adds a nonnegative term. The factorization-independent Theorem 5.5 also contains (L^(1/3)+T^(1/3))/c^(1/5), giving exponent 0.93 after its prefactor. Theorem 5.7 has a term c^(3/4)L^(1/2) when the unit shifts occupy its first index; its exponent is 0.9675. These inspected displays do not close the shortest required window, even before any larger span or coefficient-transfer cost.\n\nPascadi's frequency-concentration alternative is different: Proposition 10 (4.9) charges measures' total variations and a rational-approximation integral; Theorem 13 (5.4)–(5.5) imposes explicit variation/integral constraints. Arbitrary coefficients supported on a window do not acquire those constraints from support alone. Smooth extensions and alternative representing measures are permitted by the paper, so #932's failure for the natural Fourier measure cannot exclude all representations. No uniform construction for the actual coefficient family was found. Xi's arbitrary-set alternative is over a prime field and carries different coefficient norms/small-doubling assumptions; no composite-modulus transfer was established.\n\n**Remaining obligation:** prove the required short-window operator saving for authentic shifts and admissible moduli, with the actual coefficient norm/aggregation price, or supply a separately justified concentration statement and conditioning/transfer. Neither another finite hill-climb nor renaming the indices discharges it. No changed ingredient inspected here supports a distinct discriminating experiment.\n\n## Sources and execution\n\nInspected #924 report, review #89, search transcript (lines 25, 27, 29–30 and conclusion), proposed revision §6bis, served meansq-window.py functions authentic_R/lam_max and parts 2–3, and meansq-window.out parts 1–3.
