Route 111, revision 9.** This is a record\ncomparison only: no source was read, no `psi` evaluated, no published computation reproduced, and\nthe served step is copied verbatim as `next_step`. Nothing here bounds `P_band`, (4.9), the\nD-margin, `G_2` or twin primes.\n\n## 0. What was asked\n\nRoute 111's next experiment was set by return #2046 and is the F1 half of Fouvry 1987 §VI: does a\nrefinement of the case analysis (the main Theoreme's C.1–C.5 in place of the single use of C.2 in\ncase 3, thresholds optimised) prove (1.7)-type estimates at F1's worst pair `(1/3, 11/60)` at level\n`s = 31/60` and along F1's low end at `s = 1/2, 121/240, 61/120, 31/60`? Decide whether the returns\nalready on record, on route 111 or a route linked to it, answer that step. Do **not** run it.\n\n## 1. The issued step is the live route step, unchanged\n\nRead from the served records (`work/served/`), canonical sorted-key compact UTF-8 JSON SHA256:\n\n* route 111 live: **revision 9**, state `active`, `last_return_id 2156`, parent route 110;\n  `next_step` SHA256 `4a02f9993fb899b3102a1cea2c09cd025b901410d35c6375e5622923db3eb4be`.\n* the parsed issued step (from this assignment's brief) has the **same** SHA256; the equality\n  `issued_step == route111.next_step` holds object-for-object (`work/comparison4756.json`).\n* #2046, #2084 and #2156 each carry that same `next_step` object (same SHA256), i.e. the step has\n  survived three record-comparison passes without being replaced or answered.\n\n## 2. What each return on record settles\n\n* **#2046 (job 4571, claude-opus-5-5, progress)** — set the step. It read Fouvry pp. 619/621/622\n  and 636–639 at page image and showed §VI says in terms that Corollaire 5 is improvable by\n  refining the combinatorics; the live question is therefore the bounded derivation, not a paper\n  read. It did **not** perform the derivation or decide the five target points. Depends on\n  1982, 1818.\n* **#1982 (deepseek-flash, progress)** — reproduced the exact D′/Thm 8 boundaries and showed the\n  success clause's C.5-labelling branch is a no-op (coverage2809.py already carries D′ conditionally);\n  it set the replacement step that #2046 then rewrote. Depends on 1818, 1418, 1414, 1351, 1340.\n* **#2084 (job 4642, gpt-6-astra, promising)** — a record comparison: the requested F1 refinement\n  is not answered in the inspected records; the served route is active, revision 7, last return\n  #2046, and its next_step equals the issued step. Depends on 2046, 1982, 1818, and eight later\n  returns, none of which supplies coverage.\n* **#2156 (job 4747, gpt-6.1-sol, promising)** — the previous pass of this same comparison.\n  #2046 §3–4 plus `check4571.py` give membership in the existing regions and explicitly propose\n  the unperformed combinatorial derivation; #1982 explains why only relabelling C5 cannot change\n  coverage; #1818's artifacts contain T9/T8/conditional-C5 but no T5. None of the listed later\n  returns provides all-configuration coverage or a binding configuration. Step preserved.\n\n## 3. The two newly listed linked returns do not answer it\n\nThe assignment adds two returns recorded after #2046 on routes linked by citation/dependency:\n\n* **#2157 (job 4755, gpt-6.1-sol, promising, route 67)** — depends on and cites #2046 and #2084,\n  but its object is route 67's `R_loose(T37,q) ≤ 3` census; its `next_step` is the `rl31.c`\n  T29/T37 streamed-fold extension. Its `next_step` SHA256 is `b5043165…`, not route 111's. It\n  neither derives the C.1–C.5 refinement nor gives a binding configuration for F1.\n* **#2158 (job 4754 candidate, gpt-6.1-sol, promising, route 141)** — depends on #2084 among\n  others, but its object is route 141's document-patch diff preimage search; its `next_step` is\n  that search. It does not touch §VI, C.1–C.5, or F1's exponents.\n\nBoth link back to the route-111 comparison returns as **dependencies**, not as results on route\n111: the linkage is exactly the citation that caused them to be listed, not a settlement of the\nstep.\n\n## 4. Verdict\n\nNo return on record supplies (a) all-configuration coverage of F1's low end and `(1/3, 11/60)`,\n(b) a coverage certificate against C.1–C.5 (any admissible `N`), BFI I Thm 5 and lemmas 5–6, or\n(c) a binding configuration that rules the refinement out. The step is **still open**, so the\noutcome is `promising` and the step is copied exactly as `next_step`, as the assignment requires.\nThe held pursuit goes out with this note; these returns do not hold it again.\n\nScope/rungs: served-record comparison only. No new source read, no experiment, no new estimate or\nregion claimed. F2's line `theta1 + 3 theta2 < 1` and the full signed Type-II/band obligations\nremain outside this step.\n\n44 of `@Benjaminsen`'s returns wait for a verdict; the queue is expected and nothing is required of\nthe person.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-02T19:30:01.867Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2046,2084,2156,2157,2158],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":{"outcome":"promising","route_id":111,"next_step":{"method":"Derivation plus an exact search; no psi evaluation.
