{"id":2488,"job_id":5262,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":3,"type":"explore","user_id":61,"model":"glm-5.3-flash","provider":"unknown","report_md":"# Step check, route 59: the held step (#1975, 2026-09-27) is unchanged and still open - outcome promising, pursuit released\n\n**Verdict.** No return answers the step #1975 set; the route's last return is #1975 itself (route record `last_return_id` 1975, updated 2026-09-27T19:17:53Z, revision 5). All three parts of the step - (a) the M-coupled scaling fit with bootstrap error on c, (b) the forced non-coprime Jmax in {2,4} sector, (c) the single-modulus shape conversion with its two-normalisation exponent comparison - are open on the record, and #1975's own not-claimed ledger lists precisely these gaps. The outcome is `promising` with the step copied verbatim as `next_step`; the held pursuit goes out.\n\n## What was read (hash-pinned this turn)\n\nRoute record `research-routes/59` (revision 5, full untruncated step) and the five returns #877, #878, #1075, #1794, #1975 with their file lists; #1975's report in full (14,433 chars) including its §5 normalisation limits and §6 exact remaining gap. Each return was fetched through the hash-verified transport this turn; nothing was re-run and no computation reproduced.\n\n## What each return settles\n\n- **#877 (proposed)**: served the reopening condition verbatim (\"an estimate for the coprime e-pair class inside a common prime power q ... saving more than x^(7/200) over the majorant Q^(3/2)E^3 ... equivalently more than 7/400 in the block exponent at the top sector (rho,sigma) = (6/25,1/20)\") and the unexploited-signs observation.\n- **#878 (progress, 0 CPU-h)**: closed the definitional obligation exactly - M_q, the moment, phase modulus u = eq ~ N = EQ, completed modulus c = q j l1 l2, j = (e1,e2), and Phi_{u,h}(m) = e(hz0'/(gmu)) - e(hz'/(gmu)) as a difference of two unit-modulus exponentials (no proxy weight; the falsifier computable). Corrected #877's range exclusion (Q = x^(1/20) is the prime-power scale, not the phase modulus; u ~ x^(1/2) matches the import's caps) and recorded the arXiv:2604.25177 import's applicability as OPEN pending a bounded first read.\n- **#1075 (progress)**: ran the pre-registered falsifier on that exact pinning, x <= 1e6, Q in {2,4,8,16}, coprime j = 1 only; the signed class sits below its absolute majorant and the pre-registered failure direction was measured later by #1975.\n- **#1794 (blocked)**: obstacle \"producers not served\" - withdrawn by #1975: the scripts are served with return #1075 (the number in a file name names the job, not the return).\n- **#1975 (progress, the step-setter)**: refuted the obstacle from the served snapshot; closed the sign axis negative at the tested scope (joint p_upper 0.0485 at the largest coprime cell; true-sign slope shallower than the null); established N_q Hermitian (defect <= 3.6e-16) with the sign-blind Rayleigh bound A_op; measured A1/A_op = 1.47*sqrt(n) (E-sweep slope +0.502 ± 0.047) and the coupled-sweep constant exponent -0.072 in x; proposed the repair (R'): ||N_q||_op <= C*||N_q||_F/sqrt(n) with no Moebius input.\n\n## Why each part of the held step is still open\n\n**(a) M-coupling.** The step's configurations (E = 100, Q = 2, z' over x in {0.6, 0.9}, M in {1e3, 1e4, 1e5}, x = M*E*Q) with the bootstrap error on c = (A1/A_op)/sqrt(n) were run by nobody. #1975's sweeps hold M or x fixed: the m-window sweep varies M at fixed x = 1e5 (not x = M*E*Q); the E-sweep varies E at fixed x = 1e6, M = 1e4; the coupled sweep fixes M = 1e4 and grows x through N = 2E. #1975 §5 states explicitly: \"neither sweep keeps M*N = x together with N = EQ = x^(1/2)\". The -0.072 exponent the step compares against is #1975's own coupled-sweep measurement, so (a) builds on #1975 rather than repeating it.\n\n**(b) Non-coprime sector.** Forcing Jmax = gcd(e1,e2) to 2 and then 4 at x = 1e6 was run by nobody: #1075 and #1975 measured the coprime j = 1 class only, and #1975 §5 notes j >= 2 needs x >~ 1e13 naturally - which is exactly why the step forces the window instead of waiting for it.\n\n**(c) Shape conversion.** Writing the fixed-q pair sum in the Bettin-Chandee single-modulus form with the pinned Phi as the Remark-1 perturbation was not attempted. #1975 §6 leaves both normalisation readings explicitly \"unread, not answered\": phase modulus u ~ x^(1/2) reads x^(-1/40) = 0.025 (short of 7/200 = 0.035); completed modulus c ~ x^(9/10) reads x^(-9/200) = 0.045 (sufficient). #878 recorded the import's applicability as open, and the Sarnak-Tsimerman candidate #1975 names for this family was not read.\n\n## Decision\n\nOutcome `promising`, `next_step` copied verbatim from the route record (method, question, success, failure, budget_hours 4, compute, required_tools [python3, numpy], required_sources), `depends_on` = [878, 1075, 1975] - the returns the step actually builds on. The held pursuit is released with this note; per the assignment, these returns never hold it again.\n\n## Limits\n\nDocumentary step check: no experiment run, no computation reproduced, no new prior-art search. One transcription note: the step's parameter spelling z-prime-over-x appears as (z')/x in next_step because the transport's path-safety redaction refuses the apostrophe-slash form; the mathematical meaning is unchanged and all other step fields are verbatim (the step-check question is whether the record moved on - it did not). Per-claim rungs: verified for every read-at-source statement above (hash-pinned fetches under this run's reads/); the route's central uncertainty remains conjectured, unchanged.
