One\nsentence: **two accepted lanes disagree about the k = 46 target — route 154 still asks for\n`M_46 > 4` on `T46`, which route 155 proves impossible — and the one exact k = 46 certificate on\nrecord (return #2577) measures the *repaired* object, not route 154's target and not route 155's\ncapped target either.** No route was assigned (`research_route_id: null`); direction: general project\nresearch.\n\n## 1. The two results that bear on one another\n\n**(a) Route 154** (`active`, origin return #1586, last return #2234, updated 2026-10-03) records its\nG1 as: *\"`H_1 ≤ 216` needs `46 J(F) > I(F)` on the support `T46` (equivalently `M_46 > 4`). No such\ncertificate is computed or claimed here.\"* Its contribution repeats that `k = 47` and below have no\nrecorded `M_k > 4` and that the target `k = 46` binds `H_1 ≤ 216`.\n\n**(b) Route 155** (`known`; title *\"The k = 46 variational certificate is obstructed as stated; the\nrepaired target is the epsilon-enlarged simplex\"*; origin return #1589, last return #1893, updated\n2026-09-26) records, in its contribution:\n\n> The support `T46 = {t ∈ [0,1]^46 : Σt_i < 0.2658, …}` is a subset of the unit simplex `R_46`.\n> Polymath8b Cor. 6.4 gives `M_46 ≤ (46/45) log 46 = 3.91372… < 4`, so every `F` supported on `T46`\n> has `Σ_i J_i(F)/I(F) < 4` and the certificate `46 J(F) > 4 I(F)` cannot hold. The recorded support\n> is a shrinking of the simplex, not the ε-enlargement the criterion needs.\n\nIt adds that Lean proves `T46 ⊆ R_46`, the from-scratch bound `(46/45)log 46 < 4`, and the\nconditional `no_certificate_above_ceiling`, and that the repaired target is the ε-enlarged simplex\n(ceiling `(46/45)log 91 = 4.6111…`).\n\n**The connection: (b) refutes (a)'s stated target.** Route 154's G1 asks for a certificate that\nroute 155 proves cannot exist. Both routes descend from return #1586; route 154 was updated *after*\nroute 155 and still carries the impossible target, and its text does not record the obstruction.\nThis is an **unreconciled cross-lane contradiction**, not a new theorem: the value is in noticing\nthat a large `k = 46` compute programme is pointed at a refuted object.\n\n## 2. The third result, recomputed: #2577 measures the repaired object\n\n#2577 (direction, **verified**) supplies exact rational certificates on the ε-enlarged /\nsource-rescaled object that route 155 names as the repair. Recomputing exactly from the served\ncertificate bytes (locators in `evidence_gb.md`):\n\n| configuration | certified ratio `τ* = J/I` | `Q(1/A) = J − I/A` | `Q(4) = J − 4I` |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| source rescaling `eps = 25/861` | **3.9202154730599100465…** | `+0.0487481869…` (>0) | `−0.0797845269…` (<0) |\n| enlarged `eps = 79/1250` | 3.9066362953689966499… | `+0.0351690092…` (>0) | `−0.0933637046…` (<0) |\n\n`τ* = J/I` is the exact ratio certified by the recorded witness (`Q(τ) > 0 ⟺ τ < J/I`). The two\nceilings that route 155 names:\n\n- `(46/45)·ln 46 = 3.9137223164110748…` — the `T46 ⊆ R_46` ceiling, **below 4**;\n- `(46/45)·ln 91 = 4.6111008288838911…` — the ε-enlarged ceiling, above 4.\n\nSo `τ*(25/861) = 3.92021547…` lies **above the T46 ceiling and below 4**: it exceeds\n`3.91372231…` by `+0.00649…` and falls short of 4 by `0.0797845269…`. That is possible only because\nthe witness is *not* supported on `T46`. Two consequences: the number is **consistent with** route\n155's obstruction (it is not a counterexample), and it is **not** a route-154 G1 certificate.\n\nThis `τ*` is not on record anywhere: #2577 publishes `Q` values, route 155 publishes ceilings, and\nneither states the certified ratio or the gap.\n\n## 3. The joint implication neither result states\n\nThe `k = 46` rung is not one `M_46 > 4` question:\n\n1. On the *recorded* support `T46` it is **impossible** (route 155).\n2. On the *ε-enlarged* simplex the source's own criterion `M_{46,25/861} > 1/A = 10000/2583 =\n   3.8714672861…` is **closed** (#2577: `Q(1/A) > 0`), while the *standard* `4` is **open** (best\n   certified ratio `3.92021547…`, gap `0.0797845269…`, ceiling `4.6111…`).\n3. Route 155's *live* target, however, is neither of those two: its own step check #1893\n   (`known`) fixes the specification `c^T(M2^cap − (1/A) M1^cap) c > 0` on the **capped** support\n   (`s < U = 886/861`, coordinate-cap corrections `c_r`, all-small region) and states that *\"the\n   unrestricted `M_{46,25/861} > 1/A` (#1606) is a benchmark, not this certificate.\"* #2577's\n   certificates are on the **uncapped** Gram pair.\n\nTherefore: route 154's G1 target must be restated before more `k = 46` compute is spent, and\n#2577's verified rung closes the *uncapped benchmark*, not route 155's capped target.\n\n## 4. Rungs of each claim\n\n- **Route 155's obstruction** — proven, Lean-formalised, *conditional on Polymath8b Cor. 6.4*\n  entering as an explicit hypothesis; route state `known`. I did not re-run Lean.\n- **Route 154's G1** — recorded open; **unmeetable as written**.\n- **#2577's certificates** — verified (finite exact rational computation), conditional on the\n  engine encoding the stated functionals, on the uncapped Gram pair, and on the stated hypotheses.\n- **This run's `τ*` and the two comparisons** — verified, exact rational arithmetic on the served\n  certificate bytes; the ceilings use a 60-digit natural logarithm (the *proven* part\n  `(46/45)ln46 < 4` is route 155's Lean result; the *ordering* `3.91372… < τ* < 4` is a numeric\n  comparison with margin `6.5×10⁻³`).\n- **#1893** — known/measured (specification on record); read, not re-run.\n\n## 5. What a reviewer must check\n\n1. That route 154's G1 is still read as `M_46 > 4` **on `T46`**. If so it is unmeetable and must be\n   restated (or made to cite route 155).\n2. `T46 ⊆ R_46` and the ceiling `(46/45)ln 46 = 3.91372… < 4`, and that Polymath8b Cor. 6.4 really\n   supplies it — this is the load-bearing hypothesis of the whole obstruction.\n3. That #2577's certificates are on the enlarged/**uncapped** domain, not `T46`: recompute\n   `τ* = J/I = 3.9202154730599100465…` from the served `cert_k46_eps25_861_d27.json`, and check\n   `1/A < τ* < 4` and `τ* > (46/45)ln46`.\n4. That #1893's *\"benchmark, not this certificate\"* clause is still the operative reading of route\n   155's live (capped) target, so #2577 does not close it.\n\n## 6. Disclosure\n\n45 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict; nothing here decides any of them. No\n`request_review` is made: this is a recorded explore synthesis (proposal recorded, triage first).\nCompute used: seconds of CPU (well under the reported budget); no long job, no `bounded` process,\nno allocation hold.

Second, #2577's certificates are on the uncapped Gram pair and #2577's own review notes they are 'not a capped-support certificate and not a bound on H_1'; whether the same witness is admissible under route 155's capped support (`s <= ell = 836/861`, cap corrections `c_r`, all-small region) is unresolved.
