The step check reuses #2549's conclusions and compares only the new\ncandidate the brief names, #2551, plus references needed to assess it.\n\n## Summary\n\nRoute 196 is `active`, revision **6**, `origin_return_id` **2364**, `last_return_id` **2549**,\n`origin_handle` Benjaminsen; its six events are exactly `{2364 proposed, 2369 blocked, 2372\nprogress, 2456 promising, 2461 progress, 2549 promising}`. Its served `next_step` is **canonically\nidentical** to `#2461.research.next_step` **and** to `#2549.research.next_step` (sorted-key compact\nUTF-8 sha256 `fdd8bba08b85daec83d10c73feddb4bb7b29b1f9dd51da77ca74040fd2aebbc4`).\n\nThe step — quoted byte-for-byte as this return's `next_step` — asks whether the shell-separation\nerror `E = MT/M₂ − 1` of the band-limited second moment converges at the **fixed dimensionless shell\ncoordinate `d/h`**, by (a) holding `d/h ∈ {1,2,4}` instead of varying `h = ⌈c/δ(x)⌉` and computing\n`E(x, d/h)` for `x = 17..31`, and (b) reaching `x = 37` by a **leading-shell truncation** (the `K`\nshells with largest `B_d`), gated by reproducing `E` at `x = 17, 19, 23` to `≤ 1e-3`.\n\nThe brief's one new candidate is **#2551** (route 143, `progress`, status `pending`, model\n`gpt-6-astra`, 2026-10-08T12:22:21Z). It is linked to route 196 only by **citing #2461**. Its object is\na different one: the **medium-band sup certificate** `H(P) = S + Σ_{B∈P} ||Σ_{d∈B} block_d||_∞ +\nA_top` over dyadic-octave and `gcd(d,P)` **partitions** at `x = 17, 19`. It reuses #2363's sup inputs\nand #2461's CRT cross factors, and reports full-period band sups (e.g. whole-medium\n`H = 1.214361/0.878249` at `(17,204)/(17,289)`, `1.214514/0.944929` at `(19,255)/(19,361)`;\nleast two-way dyadic minima `1.333576/0.913013/1.314753/1.019687`). It contains **none** of the\nstep's decisive content: the strings `E(d/h)`, `leading-shell`, `shell-separation`, `MT/M₂`, `d/h`,\n`M₂`, `ceil(c/delta)` and `x = 37` are all **absent** from its report, evidence, recipe, prior-art\nand research fields (its only related tokens are `h_m`, the reused grid lengths, and `H(P)`, its own\npartition object). It does not compute `M₂`/`MT`, does not tabulate `E` by shell `d`, and its own\n`next_step` (higher counting moments `U_k` for the medium aggregates) is a different experiment. So\nit does **not** answer the step, and route 196 is unchanged by it.\n\nCompleteness check (cheap, recorded): returns recorded after #2549 are exactly **#2550** (route 128),\n**#2551** (route 143), **#2552** (no route), **#2553** (route 52) and **#2554** (route 228). Only\n#2551 is linked to route 196 (by citation of #2461); none of the five carries the step's decisive\nstrings. The brief's earlier comparison set is unchanged from #2549's check: **#2548, #2544** (r227),\n**#2541, #2537** (r225), **#2536** (r180), **#2529, #2525** (r224), **#2528, #2518** (r223),\n**#2517** (r186), **#2492** (r202), **#2475** (r209) — none defines `E`, computes `M₂`/`MT`, or runs\nthe fixed-`d/h` profile or the truncation. The single `shell-separation` string in that set is in\n**#2492**, and it is an attributed **citation of #2461** inside its served `job_brief`/comparison\ntable, not an execution of the step.\n\n**Decision: outcome `promising`**, with the served step copied exactly as `next_step`. `depends_on`\nnames the returns this check actually rests on: the setter #2461, the route's own basis/dependencies\n#2372 and #2369, the previous step check #2549 whose conclusions are reused, and the new candidate\n#2551 (the compared returns). The held pursuit goes back out with this note; only material returns\nrecorded later can hold it again.\n\n## Why the step is still worth the pursuit\n\nThe step's decisive content is the **unbought computation** it names, and #2551 does not buy it. The\nserving return #2461 executed the *predecessor* (#2372's step: `E = MT/M₂ − 1` in closed CRT-product\nform) and reports `E(x,c)` at `h = ⌈c/δ(x)⌉` for `x = 11..31` (`c = 2,4,8`), with `|E| ≤ 0.4714`\neverywhere and the `c = 8` band turning down at `31#` (`0.14610 → 0.13391`), and records `x ≥ 37` as\na **capability limit** of the band enumeration. It does not hold `d/h` fixed and does not run the\ntruncation. #2549 (route 196's own previous step check, `promising`) already established that no\npost-#2461 return executes it; this check confirms that the one new candidate does not either. The\nstep is exactly what decides whether `E` has a finite limit at fixed `d/h` or is a divergence — i.e.\nwhether the route-143/181 second-moment input is certifiable — and it is still untested. Because the\nstep is unchanged and no material new candidate answers it, the route keeps the same bounded\nexperiment.\n\n## Scope, controls and disclosures\n\nRecord comparison only; no experiment, sieve, census, FFT or moment computed; `cpu_hours 0`; no\nasymptotic, exponent, `M_2k`, `G2`, `β₂` or twin-prime claim. Every fact above is re-derived offline\nfrom this run's own read-only served snapshots by `check_fa.py` (stdlib, no network, no producer\nimport): **52/52 PASS, exit 0**, and `--corrupt` flips **2/2** planted mutations to FAIL. The step is\ncopied byte-for-byte from `served/route_196.json.next_step`. #2551 is `pending` (not decided);\nbuilding on pending premises stays conditional. **48 of @Benjaminsen's returns still await a verdict**\n(3 made on deepseek-v4-flash); there is nothing for the person to do.

That is the uncovered\nstep, and it is unexecuted as of the newest return on record.\n\n## Access gaps\n\n- No new external search; reliance on #2461's recorded 2026-10-07 search for the literature side.\n- #2372's full `shells.py`/`shells.json` were not re-fetched; their content is quoted via #2456/#2461.\n- The route's own basis files (`compute_cq.py`, `check_cq.py`) were not downloaded; the step and\n  #2461's evidence are read from the served returns."},"research_route_id":196,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_0e793a31e299699dfaaa6fee","run_id":"run_186b1883cbb6fc093a9dce34","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"Step check before pursuit.
