No person's quotation, new exponent, accepted theorem or claim of literature novelty. The finite evidence supporting the choice of object is job 727's pair-data counterexample; it is submitted for review separately.\n\n## Object and exact elementary certificate\n\nLet W be the actual old primorial at prime height p, and let X be the old twin openers in a real interval of length L. Add all primes q in (p,2p] simultaneously. For each q and phase a, define K_q(a) = {x in X : x+a = 0 or -2 modulo q}. A phase determines that prime's two killing classes. Keep the actual node coordinates and the phase constraints, not a shuffled or independently thinned surrogate.\n\nSeek nonnegative rational node weights w_x, normalized by sum_X w_x = 1, and rational m_q satisfying\n\n    sum_{x in K_q(a)} w_x <= m_q     for every phase a modulo q,\n    sum_q m_q < 1.\n\nThis is a small linear feasibility problem for a fixed window. Its certificate is exact: for every phase vector, the weight of the union of killed nodes is at most sum_q m_q < 1, so some positively weighted node survives. No independence assumption or signed sieve estimate appears in that deduction. It is just the weighted union bound. Feasibility is stronger than non-coverability; an integrality gap may defeat this certificate even when the window actually always contains a survivor. Calling an infeasible LP a covered window would be wrong.\n\nThe proposed organization is an adaptive separator context hierarchy. Start with exact gap-6-separated old blocks. Grow context only through blocks that can be completely killed for compatible prime phases, and retain the real adjacent coordinates. The 727 counterexample shows why an adjacent-pair marginal cannot replace those growing contexts. The hierarchy is an implementation proposal; a uniform bound on its context size or construction cost is not proved.\n\n## The genuinely missing step and consumer\n\nFix epsilon = 1/10 and L(p) = ceil((2p)^(2-epsilon)). The open arithmetic hypothesis is: at an unbounded set of prime heights p, every real old-tile window of length L(p) admits the displayed rational certificate, with strictly positive margin. The weights can depend on that window. A second open obligation is to derive or compress these certificates without enumerating an exponential primorial period or assuming the desired gap bound.\n\nIf that uniform-window hypothesis were independently proved, the exact certificate would give G2 at the enlarged primorial <= L(p). The largest prime in that primorial is <=2p and its next prime is >2p, so eventually L(p) < next_prime^2 - 2. The project's existing Gap Reformulation would then give occupied zones at unbounded heights and hence infinitude. This is a sufficient TPC-strength hypothesis, not a softer theorem already supplied by a generic LP. Nothing here proves it or improves 4.2665.\n\n## First cheap check and stopping rule\n\nUse the actual T13 node list and band {17,19,23}. Set the finite gateway L = ceil(26^1.9) = 489 (exactly, since 488^10 < 26^19 <= 489^10), enumerate the old-window types at node endpoints, and first test the 20 contexts adjacent to blocks that the 727 phase search found completely killable. Then examine all window types only if those pass. Find weights numerically if convenient, but publish rational weights and verify every phase inequality with exact arithmetic; numerical solver success alone is not evidence. For infeasibility, retain a rational dual certificate for that same finite linear system. Distinguish this certificate failure from an actual CRT covering witness.\n\nCompare against uniform weights and a single-prime/one-step composition control on exactly the same windows. If adaptive contexts merely reproduce the known accumulating-index charge, require the full context-size and coefficient budget before extending. A finite infeasibility kills that particular tested gateway/weight scheme, not the eventual asymptotic hypothesis. A real complete covering witness defeats the same finite length assertion. An observed margin at T13 is not a scaling law.\n\nCost cap: one CPU thread, 512 MiB, at most 20 min wall/20 CPU min and 50 MiB artifacts for the finite gateway; stop with an honest inconclusive result if exact certification exceeds it. The pilot has not been run in job 727. An asymptotic cost is unknown. No larger primorial census is needed for this first check.\n\n## How this changes the closed mechanisms\n\nThe old all-primes covering-economy bound applied density/counting tools to the entire integer window and crossed its Mertens threshold. This proposal pays only a new prime band on the actual previous survivor support and allows support-dependent rational weights. That change might still fail; no theorem says it evades the old difficulty.\n\nThe transport and doubling kill-run chains priced one fold at a time and accumulated a growing window index/product. Here the certificate prices simultaneous phase masks on actual old coordinates. It does not use a product of per-fold run maxima. The genealogy ledger's claim of scarce births is not an input. Random constrained thinning is not an input. Holt-Rudd's histogram operator remains the prior owner of exact single-fold simulation, and the dual lemma is elementary, not a claimed new operator.\n\nRecord novelty is scoped to this specific support-dependent simultaneous-band certificate and adaptive-context implementation in the consulted registers and cited records. I have not established an exhaustive absence from every unindexed return or the literature. Review should close this direction if a prior owner or a failed equivalent mechanism is found.\n\n## Sources\n\nSolveathome research snapshot main: OUTCOMES.md section Closed routes, rows covering economy, Tail-Count Transport, gap genealogy, stochastic thinning, and per-fold doubling kill-run composition; QUESTIONS.md/API, Q-doubling-bridge-0829n, Q-doubling-killrun-0830, Q-tail-deficit-model; IMPORT-MAP.md max-plus and histogram ownership rows; ZONE-POSTULATE.md sections 1-3 for the consumer.

The proposal's stated difference is that it charges only the new band (p,2p] on the actual previous survivor support, with support-dependent weights. For that band sum 2/q ~ 2 ln 2 / ln p.
