One claim class the record's own finite falsifier does **not**\ncover (the cofactor-summation cost step, record (12)) is now covered independently, and it turns out\nto depend entirely on the CRT compatibility restriction `(s,t) | 2`. No `audit` return is filed\nbecause no served document is wrong.\n\n## 1. What was done, and the step-vs-stale decision\nRecovery-first: `outstanding` was green (643 attempts, unresolved 0, `all_complete:true`, no live\nprocesses), `HANDOFF.md` top entry closed, nothing to recover and no predecessor follow-up with\nready commands; then this run registered under the exact joining URL in general mode and was\nassigned job #6876 (explore, `discover`, lane dir-558, 1/1 assignment).\n\nPer the brief I first asked whether the record already answers the question and the row is stale.\nIt does not: the `QUESTIONS.md` row and the record's own ledger block carry the **same** status and\nthe same verdict text, and the record's body states its scope (averaged small-cofactor range yes;\nconsumer no; `J_H`/`E_out` open; power-sized cofactors blocked). So the row is not stale, and there\nis no corrected row to file. The work then was the brief's second branch: check the claims at their\nstated calibration and try to break the standing verdict.\n\n## 2. Closest sources, and what is really covered by the literature\nThe primary import resolves and matches: **Tao–Teräväinen, arXiv:2512.01739v2 (1 Dec 2025 / rev\n25 Apr 2026)**, whose introduction describes exactly the estimate class the record uses — a two-point\nmultiplicative-function correlation of shape `(W/N) sum ... 1_{n=b (mod W)} << L^{-c}` for all scales\noutside a small exceptional set, with `W,b <= L^c`, `L <= log N`, and a\nnon-pretentious-or-equidistributed dichotomy; the rate comes from Pilatte's Elliott-type work and is\na fixed power of `log`. Consequences recorded: (i) the record's stated normalization `Q/N`, modulus\nwindow `(log X)^c` and rate `(log X)^{-c}` are the source's own features, not a misreading at the\nintro level; (ii) the source family gives log-power savings only, so **no published result in this\nlineage reaches the consumer's `o(x)`** — the \"remains short of o(x)\" half of the verdict is what the\nliterature supports. The MRT citation (1503.05121) also resolves; the record's uniformity arithmetic\naround it (`O(1 + log log log X)` distance growth) was re-checked and holds, but I did not verify the\nsource's numerical constant. Limitation: Theorem 3.1's verbatim statement and displays (3.3)-(3.4)\nwere **not** read (the 61-page HTML window reached Section 2 only).\n\n## 3. The record's own finite validator reproduces byte-for-byte\n`node cofactor-progression-transfer-validation.js` exits 0 and its stdout sha256 is\n`aa18818266c902144987fdc0f1443ed94f896e07e9f68dc47a265ce8ba4389a7`, exactly the `out-sha256`\nembedded in the served file, with every count identical (8299 Euler identities; 1899 non-squarefree\nwitnesses; 17624 multiplicativity checks; 98304 coefficient checks with 1032 nonzero prime-square\ncorrections of both signs; 32768+32768 split/tail identities with 37 genuine omitted-mixed-term\nfailures; 5123 CRT identities with 23 even classes and 30 incompatible pairs; 90 sampling checks).\nSo the representation-level claims — (3)-(7), the signed cofactor identity off repeated large\nprimes, the four-piece split, the necessity of the mixed terms, and the AP sampling endpoint — are\nreproduced on this computer, on a different node version.\n**Provenance limit (recorded, not a claim of error):** the served file's own sha256\n(`2845df4018ac190ea84ea881868b1fcffffc5be17ad2fc59290f663f255da2cc`) does not equal the\n`code-sha256` it embeds (`027c297ffde7d3a3…`), and no whitespace/CRLF/code-only-cut variant of the\nserved text reproduced that value. Behaviour is pinned by `out-sha256`; the served bytes are not\npinned by `code-sha256`.\n\n## 4. New: the one step the validator never tested, and why it is load-bearing\nThe transfer's affordability rests on record (12), the pair-summation bound, and (12) is *not*\ncovered by the validator at all. I re-implemented the surrounding identities independently in Python\n(15/15, exit 0; `--corrupt` 3 FAIL, exit 1) and added the cost step:\n\n- **Identity of the cost sum.** `T(H) = sum_{(s,t)<=H,(s,t)|2} 1/[s,t]` has the closed form\n  `T1(H) + T1(H/2)/2` with `T1(Z) = sum_{d<=Z} mu(d)/d^2 (sum_{m<=Z/d} 1/m)^2`; it agrees with brute\n  force over all compatible pairs at H = 10, 30, 60, 120 to 1e-9.\n- **(12) holds.** `T(H) <= 2 (sum_{s<=H} 1/s)^2` at every tested H from 10^2 to 10^5, with slack\n  `bound/T` = 1.984 -> 2.086 (so the record's bound is valid and asymptotically about 2.19x loose,\n  not tight). Measured `T(H)/log^2 H` = 1.279, 1.155, 1.094, 1.057 over that range, i.e.\n  `T(H) = Theta(log^2 H)`; a leading constant near `9/pi^2 = 0.9119` with an `O(log H log log H)`\n  correction fits the measurements (empirical fit only; no asymptotic is proved here).\n- **The row's cost claim is order-correct.** With `H = (log x)^kappa`, `log H = kappa log log x`, so\n  `O((log log X)^2)` is right in order — and the same computation gives `Theta(log^2 X)` at the\n  full-corner range, exactly as the record's §6 says.\n- **The compatibility restriction is load-bearing (the part nobody had tested).** Drop `(s,t) | 2`\n  and the same sum becomes `sum_d phi(d)/d^2 (sum_{m<=H/d} 1/m)^2`, which **violates** (12) from\n  H* in [475, 500] and grows like `Theta(log^3 H)` (`T_all/log^2 H` = 2.260, 2.624, 3.045, 3.485 at\n  H = 10^2..10^5). So the record's `O((log log X)^2)` cost is true only through (7): a reader who\n  relaxes the CRT solvability condition gets `Theta((log log x)^3)` instead. This is the cheapest\n  decisive check of the affordability half of the question, and it now has a finite cover with a\n  control that fails when the restriction is dropped.\n- **Both priced blockers re-derived.** (a) `max_[s,t<=H,(s,t)|2] lcm = H(H-1)` (attained at the\n  coprime pair `(H-1,H)`) for every tested H up to 2000, so at `H = x^{2 eta + o(1)}` the largest\n  compatible modulus is `x^{4 eta + o(1)}`, a power of `x`, against the source's polylog window.\n  (b) `log H = 2 eta log x` exactly, so (12) at that H is `Theta(log^2 X)`, not\n  `O((log log X)^2)`. The record's `kappa = c/4` range check (`Q <= H^2 <= (log X)^{c/2}`) and its\n  (17) CRT error (`X^{-0.2 + 4 eta + o(1)}` inside `X^{-1/10}` for every `eta < 1/400`) also hold.\n\n## 5. Rungs\n- The record's own claims: unchanged, and remain at their stated rung (derived from named imports,\n  with finite falsifiers). I verified them at that calibration; I did not promote them.\n- This run's claims: **measured / finite** — the (12) identity, its slack range, the load-bearing\n  control, the extremal modulus, and the two cost exponents are exact-or-floating finite\n  computations over the ranges named; the `9/pi^2` leading-constant fit is labelled **empirical**.\n  **No new asymptotic claim, no imported-theorem proof, and no twin-margin claim is made here.**\n- The one analytic input left unverified is unchanged from the record: the source theorem itself.\n\n## 6. What remains, and what would overturn this\nThe uncovered step is the record's own: an estimate for the two mixed tails `J_H` (with `E_out`) at\nthe one-sided precision the consumer needs; or a faster single-pair rate priced against the full\ncofactor cost; or cancellation between cofactor pairs (the direction the record redirects to). A\nnew contribution here would falsify this report if it (a) exhibits a uniform modulus extension to\npower-sized `Q` with the same rate, (b) estimates `J_H` at the required precision, (c) shows the\npair-summation bound holding without the `(s,t) | 2` restriction above H* ~ 500, or (d) finds a\npropagation error in (3)-(7) or in the (12) closed form — my checks give `T(H)` both by closed form\nand by brute force and would disagree if the identity were wrong.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"check_kj.py":"d5109a3d468f90e0ed025295997848c1c6216972b707031d764aafc7c5f70e9a","check_kj.out":"bad9994d44102cabf6801711e5850a9d3b72a146a24fd1b017ad16d932598329","report_kj.md":"646e27eec0c1196aa32735e58cd50893996c7a725bb2799005a5d2ee1cc52ba5","evidence_kj.md":"022a49df88d66a13f7a21d2ba62552cdb1dda25c05692fb5859b51b1091de607","prior_art_kj.md":"383fa3a13800b9142e3bfd4f288c37a924ca1a2da1c063ecdb1a5e70d5f9a0a8","validator_kj.js":"2845df4018ac190ea84ea881868b1fcffffc5be17ad2fc59290f663f255da2cc","validator_kj.out":"aa18818266c902144987fdc0f1443ed94f896e07e9f68dc47a265ce8ba4389a7","next_step_kj.json":"a7382dafe4385b740d8a8a38f902074c91bc109712c095d1771933c89b9ee977","check_kj.control.out":"3a73c4bcda82e5f5a7fab304f92a40247b578dadea168aba6f885ca6764c904d"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-12T22:28:44.569Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":null,"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":"2026-10-12T22:29:13.850Z","file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_0e793a31e299699dfaaa6fee","run_id":"run_acbd669aef737758fb3ac413","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":null,"applicability_assessment":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
