The verdict itself — **CLOSED** — is untouched, as is every number in it, every other row and\nevery other line of the file. Both corrections below are made against **that row's own cited sources**, not\nagainst the mathematics: no new computation is claimed, and the row's closure was re-derived in neither\ndirection here.\n\n## Issue 1 — the stated reason is the one its own source explicitly withdraws\n\nThe row ends its verdict cell: *\"and forcing the index to grow prices out at A5's coordinate-free cap\nK ≤ 1 + θ/(3q)\"*. Its second cited source, `research/history/staging/verify-tailcount-transport.md`\n(2026-08-19), §(d), says the opposite about that attribution:\n\n> \"**But the no-chain verdict does not rest on the cap at all,** and saying 'the rate is A5's cap'\n> over-credits it. What kills the chain is §4's structural observation: with a fixed index M the chain's\n> certificate is bounded by `maxsum_M(base)`, a constant, against a diverging truth. That argument needs no\n> cap, and it survives any sharpening of the index estimate. The cap's real role is the opposite one — it is\n> an upper bound on how much index a would-be prover must carry ... The verdict stands; its stated reason is\n> mis-attributed.\"\n\nSo the row's second clause names as *the* reason something its own verification pass records as not the\nreason. The correction keeps the cap where §(d) puts it (a bound on the index a prover would carry) and names\nthe structural argument (a fixed index certifies a constant against a diverging truth) as the reason — which\nthe row's first clause already states, so the row becomes internally consistent.\n\n## Issue 2 — \"stays exact\" is unscoped, and the refinement that scopes it is missing\n\nThe row also says: *\"the single-fold instrument stays exact because the alignment sum is the sum over copies\nand realises every merge\"*. Read as the **transport identity**, that is correct and is the reason the\ninstrument is worth keeping (`M_full` is identically the truth: `max{G_{L+1}(i) : nu_q(i,L) ≥ 1}` *is* the\nlargest new gap). Read as **the certificate as tabulated**, it is not: the same document's §(c) tables the\ncertificate (`M_loose`) at **270** against a truth of **258** at fold 29, calls the 12 units the alternation\nconstraint's only cost in the whole ladder, and proposes the zero-cost `M_alt` refinement — the interiors'\nwalk staying inside a 2-set `{a−2, a}` — which returns the certificate to exact at every fold reached. The\nrecord's own earlier headline says the same thing in its own words: \"exact at five of six, 0.045 nats at the\ndeepest\".\n\nThe corrected cell names which exactness it means and records the refinement, including where it has since\nbeen measured at two folds above that document's table (37 → 41 and 31 → 37) — the latter is an audit of the\ncertificate section of `research/a3-09-histogram-operator.md` filed with this one.\n\nIndependently measured on two sides: the 12 units at fold 29 appear in my certificate runs (270 against 258)\nand in return #159's per-fold table (`270 [258]`), which used a different implementation for the transport\nitself.\n\n## What a reviewer checks\n\n```\ncurl -sS <base>/docs/research/history/staging/verify-tailcount-transport.md | sed -n '/## (c)/,/## (e)/p'\nnode make-outcomes-rev.mjs      # expect: served … 78c5ea9f… lines 2830; output … a5b1ddbc… lines 2830, 1 line differing\n```\n\nThe producer refuses to write unless the row anchor matches exactly one line, the old cell text appears\nexactly once, and the replacement adds no newline (the row must stay one line of the table); it reports the\nnumber of differing lines, which must be 1. Read the diff: the only change is inside that one cell.\n\n## Limits, stated plainly\n\n- Rung: the two issue texts are quoted verbatim from the served staging document; the 12 units are doubly\n  measured. Nothing here re-derives the closure, and this audit does not claim the row was wrong to close:\n  the cap attribution was already withdrawn in the same corpus on the same day.\n- No number in the register changes. No other row changes. The `CLOSED` verdict is not contested.\n- If a reviewer prefers register rows frozen as historical text, the correct action is to reject this\n  revision and leave the row as it stands; the mis-attribution then stays visible to the next reader, which\n  is the only cost of that choice.\n\n## Files\n\n- `outcomes-revised.md` (`a5b1ddbc…`, 2830 lines) and its anchor-strict producer `make-outcomes-rev.mjs`;\n  the served file audited is `research/OUTCOMES.md` (`78c5ea9f…` as fetched, 2830 lines).\n- Prior art anchors: `research/history/staging/verify-tailcount-transport.md` §(c) (the three certificates,\n  the `M_alt` proposal, the 12 units), §(d) (the cap attribution withdrawn), §(e) (the window frame);\n  `research/history/staging/attack-foldL-03-transport.md` §4 (the constant-against-diverging-truth table).\n- The certificate section of `research/a3-09-histogram-operator.md`, audited separately in the companion\n  return filed with this one (the 8-fold exactness table through 37 → 41).\n\n## Transcript\n\nAttached, agent-written (this harness stores turns in SQLite, not session JSONL).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"outcomes-revised.md":"a5b1ddbc6e470c7b57f8c40303faf106a09dc82996d3a6d16166eac77513b52c","make-outcomes-rev.mjs":"b3f192c1c91cb9bfb535110d0f8877d710dc7ba958a975a8c4ccdea9c592dcd1","served research/OUTCOMES.md (as fetched, 2830 lines)":"78c5ea9f7f96767696cdc0fed267fe06311c0ff723ab4ed15ef0c431343eb9e7","research/history/staging/attack-foldL-03-transport.md (served, read)":"8904a5336e39146944f48c626b57e7bf9cdaef3b8eb0e41905ad15069d55c39c","research/history/staging/verify-tailcount-transport.md (served, read)":"77660b6b4926e076da60d2bea4055994c84858ea3e8647fa77e3f34534148196"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-13T21:59:39.095Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["a5b1ddbc6e470c7b57f8c40303faf106a09dc82996d3a6d16166eac77513b52c"],"handles":[],"returns":[159,266,267],"messages":[931,932,933]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4.1-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":"research/OUTCOMES.md","revision_sha":"a5b1ddbc6e470c7b57f8c40303faf106a09dc82996d3a6d16166eac77513b52c","recipe_md":"# Recipe — the register-row correction (audit of `research/OUTCOMES.md`), about 3 minutes\n\n## 1.
