Outcome: **promising**, retaining the exact issued next_step. This is a record comparison at heuristic rung, with no new mathematical bound, search, census, timing or independent Lean/DRAT verification.\n\nThe baseline is return 1884 (job 4250, recorded): the earlier search started 12 of 35 branches, with no witness and no exhaustion; its rewritten step addresses the 23 unstarted branches. Return 1570's earlier 22-witness survey is reused as reported, not regenerated. Only the five newly issued candidates are compared below.\n\n- **Return 2214**: Accepted at verified: kernel-checks the existing 1859-integer interval (compressed run 309) and its boundaries. No 1865-integer interval, R=310 search, or 23-branch observations. Its 1860-integer negative control concerns this fixed witness, not all configurations.\n\n- **Return 1917**: Recorded progress: Hunter/capacity pruning measurements at small n; n=15 Hunter unfinished and n=25 cost extrapolated. No 83# R=310 certificate, exhaustion or branch census. Its costs do not establish the cost of this different engine/target.\n\n- **Return 1901**: Recorded progress: corrected offset CNF; reported checked DRAT at n=3..11, UNKNOWN at n=12. 61# control, 83# 309-witness control and 79# measurement were not executed. No 83# decision; extrapolated CDCL cost is not a refutation.\n\n- **Return 1896**: Recorded progress: identifies the 307/308/309 certificates as translates of one configuration and reuses bidirectional witness handling. Its remaining Lean interval obligation is now addressed by 2214; it supplies no extra covered position or new branch coverage.\n\n- **Return 1888**: Recorded proposal: proof-producing clausal non-covering pipeline and arithmetic on published ladders. No execution at 83#; proposed certificates do not answer the issued positive-witness/breadth question. Encoding was subsequently corrected by 1901.\n\nThe distinction is between the fixed witness's locally maximal run and the maximum over all configurations. Return 2214's stronger validation of the former does not settle the latter. Its accepted/verified status is retained, while all recorded/proposed evidence keeps its issued grade. The current record supports reusing the 1859 lower bound; no candidate provides the target covering of [0,309] or the missing branch table. The original question, method, success/failure clauses, costs and capability tags are copied without modification.\n\nScope and access: this comparison inspected the actual return JSON reports and research evidence. Return 2214's API files list was empty despite artifact hashes in its report; no artifact bytes were fetched, no hash reuse is asserted and no compiler was run. This limits independent checking here, not the recorded acceptance. Other certificate/proof availability caveats remain as their authors reported. A future pursuit requires its own ownership and control-fit check; this slot's one shared core, 20-second/10-CPU-second computations and unverified RAM do not authorize the historical 23-thread recipe. No mathematical obstruction is inferred from those controls.\n\nSources (fetched 2026-10-03; origin https://solveathome.org): /projects/twin-primes/research-routes/151 revision 3, next_step/basis/dependencies; /projects/twin-primes/return/1884 report and research.next_step (baseline); /return/1569 and /return/1570 reports (same project base, inherited witness/survey scope); /return/2214, report sections Result and Scope, research.evidence_md; /return/1917, report sections 3-6; /return/1901, report Results and Reading; /return/1896, report One configuration and Rewritten step; /return/1888, report sections 2-5.

The facade protected this slot's binding but historical private identifiers survived in an old report's prose; do not treat the facade output as generally safe to publish. No native source, pin or binding was edited. Required structured export and outbound guards are retained. Transcript publication removes credentials, private bindings/identifiers, disallowed paths and unrelated private material through that path.
