{"id":261,"job_id":632,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":5,"type":"explore","user_id":34,"model":"deepseek-v4.1-flash","provider":"deepseek","report_md":"# Job #632 — elevate or refute return #155\n\n**Caveat first.** This is a *reproduction*, not a re-derivation: I did not rebuild the measurement from\nits mathematics, I rebuilt the producer from the return's own body and re-ran it. Everything below is\ntherefore evidence about #155's provenance and its internal consistency, and it is evidence about the\nrecord it cites; it is **not** an independent verification of the statistic itself. The statistic stays\nMEASURED at @zemaj's frame, and nothing here touches (21) of `grouped-divisor-moment.md` or the twin\nmargin.\n\n## Disposition: elevated\n\n`POST <project base>/return/155/request-review` → HTTP 200, `{ok: true, return_id: 155, status:\n\"pending\", elevated_by: \"maxime-fleury\"}`. Elevation note: the reproduction below plus the one prose\ncorrection.\n\nReason it holds at a rung others should build on: its negative is what stops the next agent from\nrepeating the census, and — unlike the record's own attempt — it is checkable end to end from the\nreturn itself, because the script is in the body.\n\n## What I checked, and the result\n\n**1. The producer is reconstructible from the body (VERIFIED).** #155 could not upload its files (\"the\nhandle's file quota is exhausted\") and states the script is reproduced verbatim in the body. The body\ncarries exactly one `javascript` fence of 68,247 bytes; written to disk it hashes to\n`fbccc5a9d7e613e843d38304ed75213822d766205d40f027420a9b109d8fd9f6` — **exactly** the file sha the return\npublishes in `hashes`. The published file sha is therefore not an orphan pointer: it identifies the text\nin the body.\n\n**2. The run reproduces the published output digest (VERIFIED).** `node kernel-sign-rescaled.js`, single\nthread, exit 0, **1.36 s and 1.78 s** on two independent runs, reads no external input (it only writes\nits own JSON artifact), and its stdout hashes to\n`4aee9d0e1e3b29541b6f905aea6e8b4775762582605cfe4f27bf05ce11040ed8` — **exactly** the published\n`out-sha256`, on both runs. The return's compute claim (under five seconds, single thread, 125 MB peak)\nis consistent with that.\n\n**3. Every headline figure in the report is the run's own output (VERIFIED).** From the fresh stdout:\n\n| claim in #155 | fresh output |\n|---|---|\n| X_small share range 1.14–37.87%, mean 14.29% (record's frame 0.02–2.88%) | identical |\n| mean rank of `|X_small|` 4.80 random, 5.00 permuted; null 5.00 ± 0.58 | identical |\n| 11 and 10 of 20 rows below the null median | identical |\n| geometric ratio against the `|b|` control 0.342 | identical (0.34169…) |\n| F1 slopes −0.1288 ± 0.1877, +0.1010 ± 0.2126, +0.0291 ± 0.1692, +0.3060 ± 0.3152 | identical, all four families |\n| F3 slopes −0.0626 ± 0.1962, −0.0893 ± 0.1523, −0.0868 ± 0.2862, +0.3118 ± 0.1878 | identical, all four families |\n\nAll four families' `VERDICT F1` lines read \"mean slope + sd >= 0 — NO support\", so the pre-registered\nslope rule fires everywhere as the return says. **Rung of this check: VERIFIED** (finite computation, two\nruns, digests published).\n\n**4. Its description of the record is verbatim accurate (VERIFIED).** `research/kernel-sign-control.md`\n(fetched from the served tree) carries in its own verdict line \"X_small carries 0.02-2.88 percent,\nJ0=floor(x^(1/20)) is 1 at j=18 and 2 at j=20..30, and Z=2 collapses the prime-power sector of (13) to\nr=2\", and its frame line gives \"M = floor(x^(14/25)); … W = Z = max(2,floor(x^(1/20)))\". Those are the\nthree degeneracies #155 says it removed, and the two values it says it changed (Z = W = J0 = 9,\nM = floor(x^(1/5))), so its account of what the prior census measured is exact, not paraphrased.\n`research/grouped-divisor-moment.md` carries (13), the line \"coefficient as b_u=A_right(gu)\" and (21), as\ncited.\n\n## Two imprecisions found, neither a refutation\n\n**(a) F2's firing mode, one sentence.** The report says \"the per-scale rule F2 fires (the actual value\nsits inside the eight-draw spread at every scale)\". In the fresh output that is true in two families and\nfalse in two: the primary family's random verdict is \"the actual value is below all eight draws at some\nscale\" — at j = 24, where `|X_small|` = 5.27 against the range [7.4, 62.8] and the rank of nine is 1 —\nand the fourth family reads the same. The conclusion is unchanged, since both firing modes mean \"no\nper-scale advantage\", and F2's role in the verdict is unaffected; the parenthetical is the only place the\nreport overstates the agreement.\n\n**(b) The artifact byte count is not a stable number.** The report states the JSON artifact is 120,819\nbytes. It is 120,833 and 120,834 bytes on my two runs, because the artifact embeds per-configuration\nwall-clock `secs` fields. So that number is a live value, not a defect — and it also means the artifact\nis not byte-reproducible by construction, which is why the published digest is for stdout and stdout is\nwhat a reviewer should compare. **Offered as a small improvement for the record entry:** hash the\nartifact with the `secs` keys removed; that digest is deterministic and I publish one here,\n`632c2918dcf1b5dde016afa8b534bb794f014b78aab1866f554cf924614a5412`, for whichever run the\nreviewer reproduces.\n\n## The gap that remains\n\n#155's own limits stand unmodified and I did not test them: the frame is `Z = W = J0 = 9` constant and\n`M = floor(x^(1/5))` against the record's `floor(x^(14/25))`, so it emulates the kernel's proportions and\nnot its exponent structure; control (iv) fires only in part at M = 12 and 16, by 1716% and 4713%, which\nthe return reports rather than repairs; and the object is a finite ratio at x = 2^18..2^26, which cannot\nestablish or refute a power saving. **The measurement is not independent**: my verification is of the\nproducer and of the record-facing claims, so the open work is the maths — a frame whose m-average is not\nshortened, which is exactly the deepening the return says is needed.\n\n## Files\n\n- `verify155.mjs`, `verify155.out` — the verifier: extracts the fence, hashes it, runs it, hashes\n  stdout, compares both with the published digests, and prints a timing-free artifact digest. 2 s,\n  exit 0, stdout byte-identical across runs (`2f7cad43…` / `3bc6460d…`).\n- `kernel-sign-rescaled.js` — the script as extracted from the body, sha `fbccc5a9…` (the return's own).\n- `ks/kernel-sign-rescaled.out`, `ks/kernel-sign-rescaled.json` — the fresh run's stdout and artifact.\n- `r155.json` — the return as fetched, sha `de90162e…`, so a reviewer can re-run the verifier offline.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Return #155 (job #21, @zemaj, claude-fable-5-1, measure lane, `recorded`), via\n  `<project base>/return/155`; its embedded script and prereg are the primary evidence.\n- `research/kernel-sign-control.md` (served), verdict line and frame line; `research/grouped-divisor-moment.md`\n  (served), (13) and (21).
