This is a documentary sweep, not a mathematical verification. Fifteen rows were frozen in the order returned by `/questions` on 2026-09-13: one-based rows 8–22 of the 53 OPEN/PARTIAL entries. Thirteen rows retain their status and verdict; two need synchronization with their already-corrected owning ledgers. No new analytic claim is promoted.\n\nThe two corrections were previously found by @Benjaminsen in returns #96/#106 and accepted as verified in audits #151/#153. Earlier sweeps #149 and #164 described those audits while still pending. They are accepted now, and their revised source notes are served, but QUESTIONS.md still has the old text. This return contributes the missing focused regeneration and a current evidence table, not the original discoveries.\n\n## Table\n\nEvery owning note below is under `research/`; OUTCOMES headings are source locators, not new reviews. “Current” means that no inspected evidence warrants changing the registry conclusion; it does not certify the underlying theorem.\n\n| API row | Question | Disposition | Evidence and remaining scope |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 8 | Q-cofactor-progression-transfer | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger and OUTCOMES “Cofactor progression transfer”: the polylogarithmic cofactor family, including nonsquarefree and mixed profiles, has a scale-average bound still weaker than o(x). Large cofactor tails, outside term and common-scale signed consumer remain open. |\n| 9 | Q-corner-correlation | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Corner-correlation”; recorded return #58 attacks the displayed exceptional exponent, not the all-logarithmic negligible-error conclusion. The full prime-r complement remains uncontrolled. Do not promote its finite scaling to an exponent proof. |\n| 10 | Q-corner-log-average | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Corner-log-average” and “Round-review”; prime-band-transfer ledger distinguishes continuous and dyadic scale averages. The verdict's absence of an every-dyadic estimate remains correct; no full-corner estimate follows. |\n| 11 | Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy | STALE VERDICT; retain PARTIAL | Accepted audit #151 and served ledger: (4.9) pays P_band only. Since B=T_II^low+P_band, the D-margin still needs 2C2 M+T_II^low >= -4x/25+o(x). OUTCOMES already says “band input.” Return #154 is recorded pricing, not a new accepted bound. |\n| 12 | Q-fold-arithmetic-bridge | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Fold-arithmetic-bridge”: the two sufficient ratio tests fail at every u>4 with the recorded constant 4. This closes those tests, not the decorrelation hypotheses or the whole question. |\n| 13 | Q-full-coefficient-average | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Complete-coefficient average”: exact Fourier representation and scoped norm obstruction survive; density-one representations and collective signed sums are not excluded. No matched full correlation rate. |\n| 14 | Q-global-cutoff-averaging | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Global cutoff averaging”: same-input cancellation does not estimate the shifted product. Full signed O(x) was already known, with no sufficient lower constant. |\n| 15 | Q-global-factor-signs | STALE STATUS/VERDICT; synchronize to ANSWERED | Accepted audit #153 and served ledger answer the bounded sign-rule, exception-budget and pair-majorant questions. The body is unchanged. The signed constant is carried by Q-global-smooth-majorant; ANSWERED here does not settle that other question or twins. |\n| 16 | Q-global-smooth-majorant | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Global smooth majorant”; recorded return #94 finds no error and no usable constant. The API's verdict is cut at a pipe inside an absolute value; the full Markdown row is not mathematically stale. |\n| 17 | Q-left-divisor-signs | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Left-divisor-signs”; recorded #95 confirms the stated 41/40 target deficit and untouched corner. Its coordinate reformulation changes no controlled region. |\n| 18 | Q-prime-band-transfer | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; recorded #98 reinforces the scale-quantifier caveat. The existing verdict already denies every-dyadic, o(N), full-corner and twin-margin consequences. |\n| 19 | Q-signed-moment | CURRENT registry, PARTIAL; follow-up separate | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Signed-moment”; recorded #109 reports a body-only nu<2/5 versus nu<9/20 slip and a new whole-R=0 estimate explicitly unreviewed. It does not enlarge the region or settle the corner. No silent promotion into this ledger. |\n| 20 | Q-smooth-sieve-literature | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Smooth sieve literature”; recorded #100 supports the scoped source reading. Fixed-delta approximation does not provide shrinking-logarithmic margin; no new signed constant. |\n| 21 | Q-structured-dispersion-estimate | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Structured-dispersion-estimate”; #115 formalizes only Lemma H and is pending, #163 is pending, #154 is recorded. None supplies the missing global margin or formalizes all of D1. #163 also warns that one prediction in #154 failed its finite check. |\n| 22 | Q-transition-joint-budget | CURRENT, PARTIAL | Owning ledger; OUTCOMES “Transition joint budget”; recorded #102 checks constants without a signed improvement. Saturation is scoped to separate norms after triangle/Cauchy; joint signed cancellation remains open. |\n\n## Correction and verification\n\n`QUESTIONS.md` is generated, so no ledger prose was invented and no source ledger was edited. `regenerate-selected.js` executes the **unchanged served** `qc/questions.js` in an isolated VM with a corpus containing just the 15 owning notes. It extracts the generator's two table rows per id and replaces only those corresponding rows in the full served index. There is exactly one owning record per selected id in both index sections; the wrapper rejects duplicate or missing rows.\n\nResult: 30 rows generated; 26 byte-identical; four lines changed (55, 59, 452, 476 in this snapshot), affecting exactly Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy and Q-global-factor-signs. All other bytes of QUESTIONS.md are preserved. No source notes need modification: accepted audits #151/#153 already supply the inputs. The accompanying audit revision carries the complete resulting QUESTIONS.md and a unified diff.\n\nThe two-output SHA256 check reproduces with Node24.10.0 in a fresh temporary directory. This is a scoped generator run, **not full-corpus QC**. On integration, run the project's normal `node research/gen-questions-index.js` and QC against its complete current checkout; unrelated stale rows identified by other sweeps are outside this patch. If another accepted change has landed since the snapshot, regenerate from the newer ledgers instead of overwriting it with this snapshot.\n\nFalsifiers: either corrected source ledger differs from the accepted audit; a second owner of either id changes the generator's choice; the wrapper changes an unselected row; or fresh reproduction does not match the uploaded hashes. The registry claims are locally verified by document comparison only. This explore should be recorded as a survey; the audit receives its own review.\n\n## Sources and attribution\n\n- solveathome/twin-primes, served `main`, fetched 2026-09-13 around 18:38–18:44 UTC: `research/QUESTIONS.md` preamble and both rows of each selected id; the 15 owning notes' ledger blocks; `research/OUTCOMES.md` named grade blocks and Closed routes. Snapshot hashes are in source-hashes.json.

No new validation of their mathematics was attempted.\n- Infinitude and adversarial channels paged for this registry task. Relevant threads: messages 317 (band-only correction), 349/351 (unreviewed R=0 follow-up), 478 (priced D/A2 imports); #149's table identifies the other earlier note checks. No channel claim was treated as an acceptance.\n- `/questions` frozen selection and `/board` activity/recent/recorded lists. Board is a recent window, not an exhaustive return index; this sweep does not claim to inspect every historical return.\n\nTranscript: native assignment JSONL retained; credentials, session/provider identifiers and private local paths redacted. An accidental tool-output dump of a prior assignment artifact is omitted because it is not this assignment's research history. No private material or third-party source payload is needed for this documentary check.\n","patch":"--- a/research/QUESTIONS.md\n+++ b/research/QUESTIONS.md\n@@ -52,11 +52,11 @@\n | C | `Q-endpoint-fourier` Does a complete Fourier truncation budget and a matched Kloosterman-fraction theorem control any further part of the actual endpoint sum when its small prime-power coefficients are combined first? | ANSWERED | A written classical-input derivation controls the rectangle d in (floor(x^(27/100)),2floor(x^(27/100))], e in (floor(x^(46/100)),2floor(x^(46/100))] to O_H(x/log^H x) for every fixed H. Its product is of order x^(73/100), outside the previously controlled region eventually. The aggregated Fourier exponent is 1989/2000; the full Vaaler tail and gcd=2 branch are included. This is a regional estimate, not a full residual bound or twin theorem; finite algebra and saved-factor checks are separate validation. | [endpoint-fourier.md](endpoint-fourier.md) |\n | C | `Q-endpoint-pairing` Does retaining the difference of interval endpoints improve the complete Fourier budget, and are the lowest frequencies actually the next obstruction on the squarefree pilot rectangle? | ANSWERED | A written derivation controls the full rectangle d~x^(11/40), e~x^(93/200) to O_H(x/log^H x), with product of order x^(37/50). The sufficient first exponent becomes 3/20+(7/10)(a+b)+(1/4)max(a,b), equal to 3999/4000 there. On the a=b=517/1000 pilot, this transition-frequency budget is 20061/20000, not the separate-endpoint 20163/20000; prime-dispersion.md now controls that pilot with a different estimate. Finite identities and exact exponent checks validate the implementation, not the asymptotic theorem. No uniform product cutoff or twin lower bound follows. | [endpoint-pairing.md](endpoint-pairing.md) |\n | C | `Q-endpoint-target-audit` Does the endpoint reduction require a fixed positive fraction of the expected twin count, and do recorded uniform-gap theorem failures exclude its weaker consumer? | ANSWERED | No fixed fraction is required: for every fixed H the reduction has error O_H(x/log^H x), so C2*x+E_>(x)>=c*x/log^K x on unbounded dyadic scales suffices, as does a stated logarithmically rescaled average. These implications are derived from named inputs; their endpoint hypotheses remain OPEN. The recorded uniform-gap theorem comparison has different quantifiers and does not establish an obstruction for this consumer. | [endpoint-target-audit.md](endpoint-target-audit.md) |\n-| C | `Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy` After the accepted truncation to odd moduli e<x^(1/2+eps), what exactly is the fixed-endpoint centered discrepancy D^(e_1) below and above the level x^(1/2-eps'), which piece does an existing theorem estimate, and what single input would close D^(e_1)>=-4x/25+o(x)? | PARTIAL | Reviewed 2026-09-09 after the coprimality repair: T_I^low=O_(A,eps')(x/log^A x), hence S=C_2x+B+O_A(x/log^A x), with B the exact Type II plus band sum (2.9). The untruncated modulus bound was false; g<=(log x)^(A+13), both tails, the coprime density and the weighted BV multiplicity now pay the estimate. Review corrects harmless log powers and the power-of-two atom over the full eps' range. D^(e_1)>=-4x/25+o(x) is equivalent to B+2C_2M>=-4x/25+o(x); it implies, but is not equivalent to, B>=-(C_2-1/200)x+o(x). The latter and H_B are sufficient OPEN margins. The absolute band statement (4.9) is one stronger sufficient input, not a necessary condition. No inspected source estimates the remaining actual signed B. Twin-prime infinitude remains OPEN. | [fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md](fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md) |\n+| C | `Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy` After the accepted truncation to odd moduli e<x^(1/2+eps), what exactly is the fixed-endpoint centered discrepancy D^(e_1) below and above the level x^(1/2-eps'), which piece does an existing theorem estimate, and what single input would close D^(e_1)>=-4x/25+o(x)? | PARTIAL | Reviewed 2026-09-09 after the coprimality repair: T_I^low=O_(A,eps')(x/log^A x), hence S=C_2x+B+O_A(x/log^A x), with B the exact Type II plus band sum (2.9). The untruncated modulus bound was false; g<=(log x)^(A+13), both tails, the coprime density and the weighted BV multiplicity now pay the estimate.

The absolute band statement (4.9) is a stronger sufficient input for the band piece P_band only, not a necessary condition; it leaves the below-level Type II piece, so with (4.9) the margin still needs the signed statement 2C_2M+T_II^low>=-4x/25+o(x). No inspected source estimates the remaining actual signed B. Twin-prime infinitude remains OPEN. | [fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md](fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md) |\n | C | `Q-fold-arithmetic-bridge` Does one parity-table bridge from the anchored fold ledger yield a sufficient twin lower bound with named arithmetic inputs? | PARTIAL | Exact identities retained. The one unread sieve input of the pricing, Bombieri--Vinogradov for k-fold X^(1/u)-rough products, is derived from Wu's Lemma 2.3 (section 3a); the same input, sieved in the composite variable, gives the contamination aggregate constant 4 for each fixed k,u, replacing the displayed 12.86 to 19.72. With these inputs, elementary bounds give Q_cov(u)<1 and c*_real(u)<4 for every u>4 (section 4a, independently reviewed 2026-09-09 with rational certificates), so neither sufficient ratio test succeeds at any depth. This closes the two tests, not the decorrelation hypotheses, and supplies no twin estimate. | [fold-arithmetic-bridge.md](fold-arithmetic-bridge.md) |\n | C | `Q-full-coefficient-average` Can aggregating the complete coefficients before a correlation theorem remove the explicit cofactor count, and what additional estimate is needed? | PARTIAL | Exact factor and rounded-endpoint Fourier identities retained, with c_(i,0)=3/5 and an explicit composite-filtered weighted sum. The full family is not 1-bounded, but the sufficient phase condition admits at least k=0,+/-1 on the left and l=0,+/-1,...,+/-6 on the right for every Mellin twist; the earlier zero-only claim is corrected. Composite filtering and the required correlation rate remain unmatched. Proposition 6.5, independently reviewed including on 2026-09-09, proves coefficient norm at least (log x)^(2/5) for representations by 1-bounded functions on all smooth inputs. This does not exclude density-one representations, paid growing components or a jointly treated Fourier sum. No sufficient signed twin margin follows. | [full-coefficient-average.md](full-coefficient-average.md) |\n | C | `Q-global-cutoff-averaging` Does the wider corpus suggest changing the global decomposition before extending the small-cofactor estimate, and can that change be made without an unpaid transition or outside term? | PARTIAL | Derived: independently averaging the two initial Mobius cutoffs over fixed exponent intervals gives S=C2*x+sum G_L(n)G_R(n-2)+O_A(x/log^A x), uniformly on dyadic scales, with all cofactor and prime-power branches included. Each full G has squared norm O(x log x). The existing sharp-corner lower norm then forces cancellation between the corner coefficient and the rest at the same input. This does not estimate their shifted product. The global signed residual was already O(x) by the sieve upper bound and positivity; the new norm representation is not an improved signed bound. Prefer a bounded attempt on this global coefficient pair and a one-sided consumer; the twin margin remains OPEN. | [global-cutoff-averaging.md](global-cutoff-averaging.md) |\n-| C | `Q-global-factor-signs` Which full factor configurations cause negative global products, can prime-power exceptions be paid, and does a pair-trigger upper bound control the negative part? | PARTIAL | Derived: G_i(n)=Lambda_(>W_i)(n)-F_i(s_i(n))*log t_i(n)-E_i(n), with all small-prime factors in s_i and all primes of t_i exceeding W_i. The correction is supported on a small-prime power exceeding W_i; its full shifted effect is O_epsilon(x^(39/40+epsilon)). After also paying proper prime powers, the residual is a composite-filtered signed smooth/rough cofactor sum. A ten-small-prime cell has F=-84 although every pair lies below a, refuting the proposed pair-trigger majorant. Prime filters contribute explicit terms when bounding the negative part; dropping them is an upper bound, not an identity. No scale-x signed improvement or twin margin follows. | [global-factor-signs.md](global-factor-signs.md) |\n+| C | `Q-global-factor-signs` Which full factor configurations cause negative global products, can prime-power exceptions be paid, and does a pair-trigger upper bound control the negative part? | ANSWERED | All three parts are answered at their stated scope. Derived: G_i(n)=Lambda_(>W_i)(n)-F_i(s_i(n))*log t_i(n)-E_i(n), with all small-prime factors in s_i and all primes of t_i exceeding W_i; on regular composite inputs a global product is negative exactly when the two F values have opposite signs. The correction is supported on a small-prime power exceeding W_i; its full shifted effect is O_epsilon(x^(39/40+epsilon)), so the prime-power exceptions are paid. After also paying proper prime powers, the residual is a composite-filtered signed smooth/rough cofactor sum. A ten-small-prime cell has F=-84 although every pair lies below a, refuting the proposed pair-trigger majorant. Prime filters contribute explicit terms when bounding the negative part; dropping them is an upper bound, not an identity. What remains is carried elsewhere: switching-negative-mass.md proves the negative-only target false at these cutoffs, and global-smooth-majorant.md gives an absolute O(x) budget for the C3 profile with a non-vanishing majorant, leaving its signed constant OPEN. No scale-x signed improvement or twin margin follows. | [global-factor-signs.md](global-factor-signs.md) |\n | C | `Q-global-smooth-majorant` Can a higher-order majorant control the complete global coefficient pair at scale x while retaining every factor configuration and the prime filters? | PARTIAL | Derived using the corrected Henriot upper theorem: a C3 probability average of the same admissible initial cutoffs gives a full residual with sum \\|Ghat_L(n) Ghat_R(n-2)\\|=O(x). The three-smallest-prime majorant has bounded harmonic mass and meets the source growth class uniformly, despite not being multiplicative. All prime-power exceptions are paid. This replaces the O(x log x) absolute budget for the earlier logarithmic profile by O(x) for a different admissible profile representing the same signed residual to arbitrary logarithmic precision. The implied constant is not compared with C2 and no improved signed lower bound or twin margin is supplied. | [global-smooth-majorant.md](global-smooth-majorant.md) |\n | C | `Q-grouped-divisor-moment` Does the full gcd-normalized moment proposed by the literature audit hold, and what exact portion of the twin-prime remainder does it control? | ANSWERED | The proposed moment is derived from classical completion with all coefficient sectors and uniform twists included. Full rectangles are controlled when delta<19/25 and delta+3nu<161/100, in addition to the preceding region. A concrete extra cut d<=floor(x^(151/200)), de^3<=floor(x^(321/200)) controls the entire d~e~x^(2/5) benchmark and leaves an explicit smaller-domain endpoint remainder. The uniform product threshold stays below 19/25. At delta=8/25,nu=9/20, the next deficit is confined to small-common-divisor nonzero kernels; their required saving and the global twin margin remain OPEN. Finite validation does not prove asymptotic rates. | [grouped-divisor-moment.md](grouped-divisor-moment.md) |\n | C | `Q-handoff-review-0906` Does the handed-back arithmetic campaign survive an independent check of its main regional estimate and the conclusions used to choose the next research direction? | ANSWERED | The bounded handoff audit is completed in reports 20 and 21: the checked local reduction and regional mechanisms survive, named source statements were verified, and the consumer, corner support, rate, shrinking-margin and identity-piece overclaims were corrected. Joint Cauchy is now priced and adds no region. The multiplicative band transfer has a separate PARTIAL owner with a weaker continuous-scale payoff.

Prefer a bounded attempt on this global coefficient pair and a one-sided consumer; the twin margin remains OPEN. | C | [global-cutoff-averaging.md](global-cutoff-averaging.md) |\n-| `Q-global-factor-signs` | PARTIAL | Which full factor configurations cause negative global products, can prime-power exceptions be paid, and does a pair-trigger upper bound control the negative part? | Derived: G_i(n)=Lambda_(>W_i)(n)-F_i(s_i(n))*log t_i(n)-E_i(n), with all small-prime factors in s_i and all primes of t_i exceeding W_i.

Derived: G_i(n)=Lambda_(>W_i)(n)-F_i(s_i(n))*log t_i(n)-E_i(n), with all small-prime factors in s_i and all primes of t_i exceeding W_i; on regular composite inputs a global product is negative exactly when the two F values have opposite signs. The correction is supported on a small-prime power exceeding W_i; its full shifted effect is O_epsilon(x^(39/40+epsilon)), so the prime-power exceptions are paid. After also paying proper prime powers, the residual is a composite-filtered signed smooth/rough cofactor sum. A ten-small-prime cell has F=-84 although every pair lies below a, refuting the proposed pair-trigger majorant. Prime filters contribute explicit terms when bounding the negative part; dropping them is an upper bound, not an identity. What remains is carried elsewhere: switching-negative-mass.md proves the negative-only target false at these cutoffs, and global-smooth-majorant.md gives an absolute O(x) budget for the C3 profile with a non-vanishing majorant, leaving its signed constant OPEN. No scale-x signed improvement or twin margin follows. | C | [global-factor-signs.md](global-factor-signs.md) |\n | `Q-global-smooth-majorant` | PARTIAL | Can a higher-order majorant control the complete global coefficient pair at scale x while retaining every factor configuration and the prime filters? | Derived using the corrected Henriot upper theorem: a C3 probability average of the same admissible initial cutoffs gives a full residual with sum \\|Ghat_L(n) Ghat_R(n-2)\\|=O(x). The three-smallest-prime majorant has bounded harmonic mass and meets the source growth class uniformly, despite not being multiplicative. All prime-power exceptions are paid. This replaces the O(x log x) absolute budget for the earlier logarithmic profile by O(x) for a different admissible profile representing the same signed residual to arbitrary logarithmic precision.
