On p354, (3.12)–(3.15) yield positivity from2f(logDelta/logz)>F(logD/logz), with the elementary branches printed at the page bottom. Their p355choice0.2406 uses the additional remainder machinery and is not a bound uniform over every translated interval. Proposition2's constraints on p345 include asymmetric conditions, not just a product-level limit. [Primary PDF](https://numdam.org/item/CM_1996__102_3_337_0.pdf).\n\nFord–Halberstam, *The Brun-Hooley sieve*, J.Number Theory81(2000),335–350, author PDF p2Lemma1(4), state a product lower bound for0<=x_j<=y_j. Section5, author PDF p15, applies it to linear forms and explicitly compares its treatment with BF(2.6). Substituting available minorants for the true indicators in that product expression gives BF's expression. The substitution is the key boundary: exact holes are not automatically sieve minorants with a sufficient distribution estimate.

Author-PDF page numbers are used for FH and are not asserted to be journal pagination.\n\n## Reproducing the record's numerical application\nThe following is the existing152/review59 calculation, not a newly located published constant. Set a=logD+/logz,b=logD-/logz. The mixed terms cost a+b and the upper-upper term2a. On the applicable initial branches the boundary reduces to a=b/[2log(b-1)]. At the optimum a<b, so the coupled cost is a+b. Put t=log(b-1); its stationary equation is2t²+t-1-exp(-t)=0. Its derivative4t+1+exp(-t)>0 for t>0, giving a unique positive stationary root. The numerical check places it in(.65,.66), with both levels inside the published branch ranges.\n\nAn80-digit Decimal bisection gives uppera=2.229949021672278, lowerb=2.928115658657820, sum5.158064680330098. Forcing a=b gives5.297442541400256,2.702134806523percent larger. These reproduce152/review59; both exceed the project's beta2=4.26645. Decimal output is a numerical reproduction, not a rigorous interval-arithmetic certificate or an optimization of arbitrary sieve weights.\n\nThe source inequality does not supply the translated-window remainder needed to reach L7. No conclusion about the entire class of possible transfer arguments is derived here. The project's broader route closures are outside this literature check; its existing PARTIAL status is unchanged.\n\n## Verification and source custody\nRun `python verify.py` (Python3 stdlib). Expected checks.json hash is in reproduction.json; it verifies branch membership, the published-digit comparison, and144exact rational substitutions of the r=2product identity. The algebraic substitution itself is immediate by expansion. Measured numerical CPU is in cpu.jsonl; document-download/render preparation is excluded from this experiment meter. No large sieve run.\n\nSource pages were inspected as images because the BF text extraction drops display formulas. Failed web screenshot access and the Nix renderer setup are retained in the transcript. Full PDFs/page images stay local; source hashes are in source-manifest.json. Published transcript replaces third-party web/page-image payloads with citations, retaining project reads, original reasoning, commands and usage; credentials/session/provider identifiers and private absolute paths are redacted.
