Change proposal for `research/a3-09-histogram-operator.md`. Independent\nproducer, exact histograms, no sampling. Rung: **verified** (every number in it is a\nrecomputation of a quantity the record already states, or a count of windows the record\nnames only qualitatively).*\n\n## What changes in the document\n\n`research/a3-09-histogram-operator.md`, section \"The L diagonal, confirmed here\nindependently\", reads its fold-29 row as *\"the spectrum stops at L = 2\"*. That is the L\nwhich **attains** the certificate, and it is correct as such. The **qualifying-interior**\nspectrum itself reaches `L = 3` at fold 29, and those `L = 3` windows are exactly where the\ncertificate's slack of 12 lives. The revision adds one section, 50 lines, appended before\nthe footer; nothing else in the file is touched.\n\n## What was measured\n\nThe tile is the twin-slot tile itself: `W = z#`, slots `x` with `gcd(x,W) = gcd(x+2,W) = 1`,\ncyclic gap word, `D = prod_{3<=r<=z} (r-2)`. Both terms of the transport are tail sums of\naccumulated histograms, so the comparison is exact:\n\n    fold                    7#->11#  11#->13#  13#->17#  17#->19#  19#->23#   23#->29#\n    slots D                 15->135  135->1485 1485->22275 22275->378675 378675->7952175\n    max old gap             30       42        66        108       150        204\n    certificate M           42       66        108       150       204        270\n    truth G2(new)           42       66        108       150       204        258 (record)\n    slack                   0        0         0         0         0          12\n\n`M = max G_{L+1}(i)` over qualifying-interior windows. It matches the record's certificate\ncolumn and the record's truth column **exactly** at the five enumerable folds — zero slack —\nand at fold 29 gives 270 against `G2(T29) = 258`, the record's own figure from this very\ndocument's `a3-09-histogram-operator.js`. So the instrument is reproduced, not reinterpreted.\n\n## Separating the two candidate causes\n\n**1. The `(q-2)N(theta)` term is inert at the slack.** `N(theta) = 0` for every\n`theta > 204`, the max old gap, so at `theta = 259..270` the whole of `RHS` is the window\nterm: `2*Sum Q_L = 4`. None of the 12 comes from the single-gap tail.\n\n**2. Two windows, both at 270, both unrealizable.**\n\n    i = 3207090   L = 3   G_4 = 12 + 60 + 60 + 138 = 270   interior residues mod 29: 12, 14, 16\n    i = 4745079   L = 3   G_4 = 138 + 60 + 60 + 12 = 270   interior residues mod 29: 22, 24, 26\n\nExactly two windows of `T_23` reach 259; both reach 270; they are exact reversals of one\nanother. `nu_q = 0` for both — evaluated by the definition, over all 29 alignments — and in\nboth cases the condition that empties the alignment set is **the interiors**, not either\nendpoint: a 2-set `{a-2, a}` covers a residue run only if the run alternates between two\nvalues, and these runs step by +2 three times, giving three distinct residues. That is the\nwalk condition the loose `Q_L` drops and the `M_alt` refinement restores.\n\n**Held out, and it is not the cause.** Neither window carries a q-divisible gap, so holding\nthe q-divisible class out of both `RHS` terms changes nothing: `M` stays 270 and the slack\nstays 12. The q-divisible class is excluded as the cause of the fold-29 slack.\n\n## What this does not do\n\nIt does not prove anything about twin primes and does not change the NO-CHAIN verdict. It\nlocalizes a slack of 12 that the record already accounts for as \"not realizable\" and names\nthe two windows, the killing condition and an excluded cause. The `L = 3` window the record's\nsection (e) speaks of in the singular is, on the word itself, a mirror pair.\n\n## Reproduction\n\n    node --max-old-space-size=6000 certslack-tile.mjs\n\n1.7 s, exit 0, stdout byte-identical across runs.
