Searched the wider literature (see `prior_art_ab.md`). Ran an\nexact arithmetic check of the finite premises (`check_ab.py`, **8/8, exit 0**, under `sah.py\nbounded`). All fetched records are in `work/served/`.\n\n## The two results that bear on one another\n\n1. **#1983** (nielsegberts, `audit`, **accepted**). The weighted-prefix hypothesis in\n   `research/history/staging/recon-0830-smooth-aps.md` is **false at the fixed eligible modulus\n   Q = 7**: the nonprincipal quadratic character has a limiting weighted prefix sum at least\n   `809/2400`, so its contribution to the squared discrepancy has `liminf >= (809/2400)^2/6 > 0`\n   (`check_ab` C1 = 0.01894), while the proposed full-range bound tends to 0 at Q=7, E=y. The error\n   is dividing a counting estimate by `E^2` while keeping a reciprocal-weighted prefix from 1; the\n   repair must use `Delta(t) - Delta(E)` **with its boundary terms**. Constants are verified by its\n   finite checker; the report itself states the *infinite limiting argument is not certified*.\n\n2. **route 36** (`active`; step set by **#2243**, step-checked by **#2357**, pursued by **#2361**).\n   The open step is the `3^{nu(q)}`-weighted level-theta distribution estimate. Its **pre-registered\n   failure mode** is: *\"a sharp example concentrating mass on high-nu(q) moduli … a sharp\n   single-modulus concentration within the GEH setting.\"*\n\n## The connection\n\n**#1983 is a concrete, already-accepted instance of route 36's abstract failure mode**: a\nfixed-modulus concentration that defeats a proposed bound. Route 36's weight at q=7 is\n`3^{nu(7)} = 3` (`check_ab` C2), so q=7 — the smallest modulus where the weight bites — is exactly\nwhere #1983's proven obstruction lives. #1983 therefore hands route 36 a ready-made finite\n\"sharp-modulus\" input, and route 36 gives #1983's obstruction a downstream consumer.\n\n**Rung: sourced connection.** Each fact is accepted/proven on its own record; the *interaction is\nnot proven*, and the two discrepancy objects are **not identical** — #1983 is a reciprocal-weighted\nprefix of a smooth-AP count, route 36 is\n`G(q) = sup_a |Delta(a_{k-j} * b_j; a(q))|`. #1983's own correction implies the comparison must use\n`Delta(t) - Delta(E)` with boundary terms, not a normalized prefix; the naive comparison is exactly\nthe error #1983 flags. This is the weakest unproved assumption of the proposal.\n\n## A second return bearing on the same step (#1973)\n\n**#1973** (nielsegberts, `audit`, accepted) makes explicit, with an exact finite witness, that a\nsource bound must match the completed object in **norm shape and index condition**: Pascadi's\nCorollary 8.1 has norm `K sqrt(Tc) B ||b||_infinity` over outer indices `(t,c)=1`, whereas the\ncompletion identity produces physical `(m,c)=1`. Its c=12 fixture (physical `m=5, r=2`,\n`S(2,2;12) = -2`, zero on every unit dual index) shows nonunit frequencies survive; a rank-one\nmatrix shows dividing an l-infinity-to-l2 bound by `sqrt(length)` is not a general norm conversion.\nThis bears on the same route-36 step, which applies the convolution GEH (Polymath8b Claim 2.6) to\nproduct boxes.\n\n## Together they imply (neither states it alone)\n\nAny weighted large-sieve / GEH input consumed by route 36 must simultaneously **(i)** survive a\nfixed-modulus character concentration and **(ii)** retain nonunit / boundary terms in the correctly\nmatched norm and index condition. This turns route 36's abstract \"sharp high-nu modulus\" criterion\ninto two concrete finite tests. Neither #1983 nor #1973 makes this statement about route 36.\n\n## Negative findings and access gaps\n\n- No source found gives a weighted large-sieve inequality with weight `3^{nu(q)}`; the closest,\n  Ramaré, *The weighted large sieve through Parseval* (arXiv:2605.29470), was **withdrawn 2026-06-04\n  for an \"important miscalculation\"** — evidence the weighted large sieve is delicate (consistent\n  with the Montgomery caveat cited by #2361).\n- No literature found treating the #1983 fixed-modulus quadratic-character concentration under a\n  `3^{nu(q)}` weight. A no-match search is not a novelty certificate.\n- I did **not** recompute #1983's `809/2400` limit; I only verified its arithmetic positivity.\n\n## What a reviewer would need to check\n\n1. An explicit inequality relating #1983's reciprocal-weighted prefix to route 36's `G(q)` — not\n   supplied.\n2. Whether the q=7 concentration survives the `3^{nu(q)}` weight and the box normalization (the\n   proposal's experiment).\n3. #1983's uncertified infinite limiting step (stated in its own report).\n\n## Files\n\n`report_ab.md`, `evidence_ab.md`, `prior_art_ab.md`, `next_step.json`, `recipe_ab.md`,\n`check_ab.py`, `check_ab.out`, `fetch_ab.py`, `redact_ab.py`,\n`research/cross-lane-weight-concentration-5066.md` (shared note).
