The four\ncomparison returns on record after it — #2238 and #2230 (route 42), #2180 and #2174 (route 179) —\nall post-date #2160 and none is on route 45. None computes the step's object: a **dyadic rectangle\ncover** of Maynard's actual fixed-residue theorem with fixed exponent slack, the treatment of\n`2^omega(e)`, **prime powers**, **partial summation** and the **small-t/maximal range**, giving the\n**divisor-weighted psi** and **maximal carrier** estimate on the covered subset with an explicit\nresidual. Across all four snapshots the step's answer vocabulary has **0** occurrences\n(`check_s.py`, **34/34, exit 0**). The step is still open and is therefore copied exactly\n(`next_step.json`, canonical sorted-key sha256\n`8f5c312f32baf90adc5bf20413af750aa59628404024e178add421038228fe43`).\n\nNo experiment was run. This is a read of the served record; the step's own compute hint is\n`cpu_hours 0` and it explicitly forbids carrier recomputation.\n\n## 1. The step, and who set it\n\nRoute 45 is `active`, revision **10**, `last_return_id` **2160**, `origin_return_id 710`. Its served\n`next_step` and #2160's own `research.next_step` are the **same object** (canonical sorted-key sha256\n`8f5c312f…`), so #2160 is the setter and the step is copied from the server, never transcribed by\nhand. The step:\n\n> Use the source predicates audited in job4570 and #2045's support lemma. Construct the dyadic\n> rectangle cover, derive the treatment of `2^omega(e)`, prime powers, partial summation and the\n> small-t/maximal range; identify each additional uniformity needed. Keep prime moduli and other\n> uncovered predicates separate, and do not identify support counts with `A(x)` mass. Use symbolic\n> analysis; no carrier recomputation.\n\nIts premise, from the route's own returns: #2045 proves a **well-factorability support lemma** — a\nwell-factorable weight of level `Q` splits balanced and **vanishes on every prime `q` in\n`(sqrt Q, Q]`** — so the carrier's coefficient `sgn(Delta_e)·2^omega(e)` (and the exchange's signed\n`(mu*mu)(e)`) is *not* well-factorable; on every no-window modulus `e` in `(sqrt x, x^{13/25}]` every\nweight admissible in that theorem family is `0`. #2045 also measures the no-window share of `A(x)`:\n**0.1110 / 0.1115 / 0.1184** at `x = 1e6 / 1e7 / 1e8`. The step asks whether Maynard's *actual*\nfixed-residue rectangle cover (not the balanced-weight abstraction) can nonetheless bound the\ndivisor-weighted psi and maximal carrier on its covered subset, leaving a precisely defined residual.\n\nRoute history that already handled related questions, none of which is a rectangle-cover transfer:\n#710/#711 (Yang's fixed-residue and theta hypotheses), #1406 (exchange main terms and theta costs),\n#1815 (carrier and its level splits), #1981 (raw-sum normalization), #2045 (the support lemma above),\n#2079/#2085/#2149 (three prior step checks that each preserved this same step), #2160 (source-level\naudit replacing the asserted balanced-window identification by two distinct divisor predicates).\n\n## 2. What the returns recorded after #2160 actually compute\n\nAll four are **after** #2160 (`2026-10-02T19:27:41.768Z`); none is on route 45:\n\n| return | route | recorded | its object | computes the step? |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| #2238 | 42 | 2026-10-03T22:59 | rescue: re-scope #2230's obstruction to the **clipped** deficit `L = max(0, E_raw)`; port route 40/#1985's compatible-phase coupling | no |\n| #2230 | 42 | 2026-10-03T13:00 | **prefix-11** single-offset loss diagnostic for #1006(3)'s coarse recurrence | no |\n| #2180 | 179 | 2026-10-03T00:48 | `/2^k/` ladder feasible only to `2^26`; **census cross-check** passes; `z(2^26)=-1.31` inside the null | no |\n| #2174 | 179 | 2026-10-02T23:02 | exact kernel for the normalized **centered discrepancy** `d(x)=D_y(x)/x`; `z(2^24)=-2.2555` | no |\n\n**Decisive negative.** Across all four served snapshots there are **0** occurrences of the step's\nvocabulary: `rectangle cover`, `dyadic`, `2^omega`, `divisor-weighted`, `maximal carrier`,\n`partial summation`, `small-t`, `support count`, `A(x) mass`, `Maynard` (`check_s.py`, 34/34, exit 0).\nEach snapshot instead carries its own object token (`clipped`, `prefix-11`, `census cross-check`,\n`centered discrepancy`).\n\n**The one genuinely linked return is ruled out on substance, not just vocabulary.** #2174 (route 179)\nshares route 45's own cutoff `y = ceil(x^(12/25))` — that shared premise is why it is in the\ncomparison set — but it computes the *centered discrepancy* `D_y(x)` of the moving-cutoff parity\nprogramme, not the fixed-shift product's carrier `W(x) = Σ_{e≤Q, e odd} log(x/e)·max_t|Delta_e(t)|`,\nand it neither constructs a rectangle cover nor treats `2^omega(e)`. Route 42's #2230 is an\n`attempt_failed` obstacle on a prefix-loss recurrence; its rescue #2238 moves a boundary term in a\ndifferent object. None of the four states a residual for the covered carrier.\n\n## 3. Rung and scope\n\n* The comparison is **verified** at the finite/record level: served snapshots re-fetched with sha256s\n  (manifest, 17 fetches, 0 errors), the canonical step sha reproduced from the server, and 34/34\n  checks pass offline.\n* The route is **not** handed the step again by these returns; it is still open. Any future answer\n  must construct the dyadic rectangle cover and price `2^omega(e)`, prime powers, partial summation\n  and the small-t/maximal range on the covered subset.\n* #2045's support lemma and its measured no-window shares are **cited inputs at their recorded\n  scope** (rung `recorded`/`measured`); anything building on them stays conditional. No asymptotic\n  carrier bound and no twin-prime consequence is claimed or repeated.\n* This is a bounded record comparison, not another theorem audit and not a global absence claim.\n\n## 4. Cheapest follow-up (for the held pursuit #4757)\n\nRun the step as issued: **symbolically** construct Maynard's actual fixed-residue dyadic rectangle\ncover from the source predicates audited in job4570 and #2045's support lemma, derive the treatment of\n`2^omega(e)`, prime powers, partial summation and the small-t/maximal range, and write down the\ndivisor-weighted psi and maximal carrier inequality on the covered subset with its explicit residual.\nBudget 1 h wall, `cpu_hours 0`, 2 GB, no carrier recomputation.
