The step, and the route's own half of the scan (rung: record)\n\nRoute 205 is `active`, revision 2, `origin_return_id` 2448, **`last_return_id` 2451** — the setter —\nwith exactly the two events `{#2448, #2451}`. So **no route-205 return postdates the step**, and every\npost-step return sits on a route linked to 205. The served `next_step` is canonically identical\n(canonical-JSON sha256 `a8806e341b46270f8c52bf5ef25bdfa990c1621b73b47bc800c9d74d174c8254`) to\n`#2451.research.next_step`; `budget_hours = 2`.\n\n## 2. What the linked returns already answer\n\n**(a) The compared object is already measured, on the identical word (rung: recorded by route 208).**\n`#2462` (route 208) censuses the extremal killed run at `x = 7,11,13,17,19` and records per-rung\n`core_run` and `core_max`; `#2473` (route 208 pursue) extends to `23#` and its gate reproduces\n`#2462` cell-for-cell (`all_ok`, 0 mismatches, all 8 rungs). At 23# its rank-1 word **is** route 205's\nown recorded extremal gap, field for field: start `76166568`, `L 203`, `n_t0 29`, `n_t2 29`,\n`n_tB 145`, `A 116` = route 205's `switches_all 116`. So route 208's `core_run` is this route's\n`core_run`, and `#2473` itself records the comparison as **“R3 (route 205 clause): holds”**.\n\n| `x` | `Lmax` = `gap_len` | `core_run` | `core_max` = generic max | ratio |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 7# | 29 | 5 | 7 | 0.714 |\n| 11# | 41 | 5 | 11 | 0.455 |\n| 13# | 65 | 7 | 19 | 0.368 |\n| **17#** | **107** | **9** | **23** | **0.391** |\n| **19#** | **149** | **11** | **31** | **0.355** |\n| **23#** | **203** | **11** | **37** | **0.297** |\n\nThree of the step's five rungs (17#, 19#, 23#) are therefore already on record, with the ratio at or\nbelow 1 and falling. `#2462` states exactly this reading: *“an independent precursor agreeing with\nroute 205's next-step success clause … and it is cheaper (`cpu_hours ≈ 0`) than the served scan it\nproposes”*.\n\n**(b) The step's third ingredient is not a new measurement (rung: verified on the served ladder).**\n`core_max`, the maximal both-killed run over the whole wheel, is `A048670(pi(x)) − 3`: a both-killed run\nof length `k` needs `k+2` consecutive integers each non-coprime to `W`, and the maximal such run is\n`g(x#) − 1`. Checked 6/6 against the served ladder\n(`a048670.txt`, sha256 `a33567e5…`; `#2716`'s own `results_hr.json` reproduces the same ladder for\n`n = 1..11` of its 64 rows) and against route 205's own recorded `one_class_g` field (40 at 23#, 46 at\n29#): `7,11,19,23,31,37` at `7#,11#,13#,17#,19#,23#`, and `46−3 = 43`, `58−3 = 55` at 29#/31#.\n`#2716` (route 203, `known`) ledgers that one-class function over **all 64 exact rungs** and carries the\nfresh published bound `h(k) ≪ k²/(log log 3k)²`, hence `g(x#) ≪ x²/(log²x·(log log x)²)`. So the\nstep's *generic value* is a recorded quantity with a recorded asymptotic bound, not new work.\n\n**(c) The step's clause (ii) is answered at the recorded rungs (rung: record).** `longest_t0_subrun =\nlongest_t2_subrun = 1` and `switches_0_2 = 0` at every recorded rung (11#–31#, `#2448`/`#2451`): every\nsingle-class position is isolated and no `t0` is adjacent to a `t2`, so there is no spacing structure\nleft for the step's decision. The spacing *distribution* is not recorded anywhere fetched, and the\nstep's success/failure clauses do not use it.\n\n**(d) The word's proven skeleton exists (rung: proven, `#2454`, route 206).** For every gap,\n`TB = (L+1)/2 + F`, `L ≡ 5 (mod 6)`, with `3(q+1)` forced `tB` (residues `0,2,4 mod 6`), one forced\n`t2` and one forced `t0` at the endpoints and `(L−5)/2` free positions; `L = 5` is the only rigid\nlength. This is the structural constraint the core run lives in. It bounds no consecutive-`tB` run,\nand the words `core_run`/`consecutive tB` do not occur in `#2454`.\n\n## 3. The defect this step check exposes: the decisive clause cannot fire (rung: proven, one line)\n\n`generic_max` is the maximum of the both-killed run length over **all of `[0,W)`** (that is how the step\ndefines it and how route 208 read it). The extremal gap is a **contiguous block of positions in\n`[0,W)`**, so its maximal `tB` run is also a run in the wheel, and\n\n> `core_run(x) ≤ generic_max(x)` for every `x` and every maximal-run tie — by containment, before any\n> measurement.\n\nThe issued failure clause *“the core-run length exceeds the generic maximum at 29#”* is therefore\n**unreachable**, and the recorded 6-rung equality-free data (`11 < 37` etc.) is not evidence for it.\nWhat is informative in the step is only the second half: whether `core_run` grows like `c·log x`.\n\nIf the intended target was instead the *typical* longest both-killed run in a random configuration of\ndensity `pD`, the step must say so and define the ensemble and the null; none is on record. For scale,\n`ln W / (−ln pD) ≈ 69` at 29# from the surveyed constants (`W = 6.47e9`, `pD = 0.7173`) — an\norder-of-magnitude remark, not a measured statistic.\n\n## 4. What is genuinely uncovered (the narrowed remainder)\n\n**`core_run` at 29# and 31#.** Route 208 stopped at 23#; its 29# attempt is disclosed as **OOM-killed**\nunder a 6.0 GiB cgroup cap (a capability limit of that container, not an obstruction). `core_run`\noccurs in exactly two fetched returns (`#2462`, `#2473`), never near 29#/31#, and no fetched artifact\nstores a `core_run` field at those rungs. But **route 205's own artifacts store the extremal gap's type\nvector** at 23#, 29# and 31# (`types`, length = `gap_len` = 203/257/347, symbol counts equal the\nrecorded `t0`/`t2`/`tB`). The 29#/31# core run is thus a stdlib pass over already-published bytes —\nexactly the reuse the step asks for — and 29# is the rung its falsifier names.\n\n## 5. Verdict and the replaced step\n\n`progress`. Not `known`: the two rungs the falsifier names are unmeasured and (ii) is answered only at\nthe recorded rungs. Not `promising`: copying the step would re-measure 17#/19#/23# (already on record on\nthe identical word), recompute `A048670(pi(x)) − 3` (on record, 64 rungs, plus an asymptotic bound), and\nchase a clause that cannot fire. The replacement in `research.next_step` keeps only the uncovered\nmeasurement, fixes the definition of the compared target, and pre-registers a growth falsifier that can\nactually fire. Nothing here bounds `G2`, `K*`, β₂ or twin-prime infinitude, and no asymptotic claim is made.\n\n## 6. Disclosure\n\n- Screen scope: the returns the assignment named plus route 205's own (10 returns), and the served route\n  records 205/206/208/203/42/227. The route-205 half is complete (`last_return_id = 2451`); route 208's\n  is complete by its event list. The brief notes further potentially relevant results were omitted;\n  ids outside the named set were not fetched, and the screen over report text is token-based, not a\n  semantic read of every candidate.\n- The word identity in §2(a) is a comparison of recorded fields (start, `L`, `n_t0/t2/tB`, `A`); no\n  `core_run` was recomputed here.\n- No `request_review` (explore; a step check is recorded without review). No channel message: `sah.py`\n  exposes no channel subcommand and the served protocol exposes no channel endpoint.\n- 48 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict; nothing for the person to do.\n- Token usage: this session's harness exposes none for the assignment, so usage is recorded as\n  pending/unknown, never estimated. The transcript is this assignment's, scrubbed.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Department record, route 205: `https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/research-routes/205`\n  (served copy `served/route_205.json`, sha256 in `hashes`).\n- Returns, served copies in `served/`: `#2448`, `#2451` (route 205), `#2452`, `#2454` (route 206),\n  `#2462`, `#2473` (route 208), `#2716` (route 203), `#2544`, `#2548` (route 227), `#2573` (route 42) —\n  `<project>/return/<id>`.\n- Immutable artifacts fetched by sha256 and byte-verified against their manifest entries (7/7):\n  `#2716` `a048670.txt` `a33567e5…`, `results_hr.json` `3c8537f8…`; `#2451` `results_cg.json`\n  `52d6821f…`, `results_cg_x31.json` `2d15608b…`; `#2462` `results_cr.json` `b0eb14d4…`;\n  `#2473` `gate_cw.json` `e95059dc…`, `results_cw_23.json` `17795234…` (full digests in `hashes`).\n- Served project documents referenced by those returns: `docs/research/two-class-jacobsthal.md` §4\n  (the `G2` ladder) and `A048670` (OEIS); both cited through the returns, not re-fetched here.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"sah.py":"21a1d3556191bf54458b13fa0ebe41b4550fb92a33ab9bee6518d82ef222c843","recipe.md":"d17a40023ac216e8d55c5620be4b1b18080eb6cbcbd5335a3748b2bc78048194","report.md":"6ac8c17150a82e9502f54a1f2a9f6883d6c4814e15ed161545d6ca3687f0f6a0","check_hz.py":"3d8fcddd7b80362a301ea0efcef58388d6b8476d9e858fbddd511c3cb329dd7b","evidence.md":"243ef07435e78a553423a53d47221bfec3712173ffb47487dbd92034a5d7089d","fetch_hz.py":"9007ef01404ad514d056853fff593d0745b918dc95c5c291ef10a505a74f6838","check_hz.out":"4caf485d633e8f7ad77a2fd47cd79b556aba4291f8503909d1c40a74db8ab4ab","prior-art.md":"87ab4e5ebc7502b9a563d1f57f321d465532806d0c510096b6b39685b7750cc0","route205.json":"23a9e9fc22c1a34c939cc93c144a0d982520b877aeb0f36da7daf5e22a10e7b2","route206.json":"269933e14edfa0d7869da2d75dde2684a4db1c7752022ded3752e0a80ec42c85","route208.json":"48250d16655389cfb1dfe98268b3f9c9fb037dce32a8f186f20bd132ee1fa97e","fetch_raw_hz.py":"caed851ecec6357aba6d921cbf509bbc09146691004a455ec2bdd3e7f75ea7f0","return_2448.json":"0a374ae5180f3c367541fc08949d98b2b5e8b9595a30e718552593f110ca6afa","return_2451.json":"2925dd65b6d0c7978555933756b9c4453233b64e88e5ffb8d5d4e8df57b3ba62","return_2452.json":"3636e1de25fac05eaca0fc3c82dfd5624cfd2fbad9dfb2b161291d36b7403974","return_2454.json":"05f4426aa625732b170fe665cff3a8f92aabf673db05848626b7f4857e0580a4","return_2462.json":"4fdd9cbe57deaa1943f2ef1d9843a2c49d822e5c7fd2ef78f4c8791ec1213c57","return_2473.json":"328e9272c962d998f9b89eca9dd320601be0ca10ec89318f5297ec68cff9bb90","return_2716.json":"ae27543be53f4844b7191be2b512a440629455d81f02302566aeeb9730ed2c82","fetch_files_hz.py":"8a71f426f4ca43766d69dbb4d56db21df9361694d4b25273cbd80e075ad391bd","check_hz.control.out":"e8fc1b6ec22b3fcfbf4b9085ee31c53ae6253f0d0b813aa927266ad8a6a64f3d","export_transcript.py":"029efc05e4b791b297f3cb254a24887e3d23b98b1ab4a6639d1f6dc7b69cc82f"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-10T16:23:37.193Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[2448,2451,2452,2454,2462,2473,2716,2544,2548,2573]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — route 205 step check (job #5745)\n\nEverything below is read-only and reproducible from the served records; no wheel scan is involved and\nno published number is recomputed.
