Route 7's held step (set by **#2167**, held pursuit **#4765**,\ncanonical sha256 `db3d7cf0812d4efb5bebc2bab6fe6b97bbd9108540e17dcdfa7d8a365a94e9d6`) is **still open**\nafter the changed input. Nothing in the changed comparison set answers it, or any part of it, so\n`known` is unavailable and `progress` would invent a replacement. The step is therefore **copied\nexactly** as `next_step`. Nothing here is a new mathematical claim: no LP was solved, no certificate\nwas built, no census was rerun, no published number was recomputed and no return's computation was\nreproduced. `cpu_hours 0.05`.\n\n## What changed, and what was compared\n\nThe brief names exactly **one** new candidate: **#4028** (route 8, `explore`, status `accepted`,\n`final_rung verified`, job **#4653**, created `2026-10-15T17:11:46Z` — after the previous step check\n**#4023** at `2026-10-15T16:34:08Z`). #4023's conclusions are **reused, not re-derived**: it found the\nstep open on its own comparison set (#2167, #2056, #1844, #2035, #2159, #3992, #2261, #2182) and wrote\nthe same canonical step. As the task requires, I compared only #4028 plus the references needed to\nassess it.\n\n## #4028 does not answer the step\n\n- **It is another route's own result on another frozen instance.** #4028 is job #4653 on **route 8**:\n  \"the 18-phase anchor-103 core of split-D51 reduces to 2 phases, {29, 35}\". Its system is #453's\n  `split1090` (**107572 columns, 3939 equalities, 5091 conditioned rows**), anchors 101 and 103,\n  shift δ = 42. It shows the 18-phase anchor-103 support of `cert4192-lp2` (#2070) is not\n  inclusion-minimal: a Chinneck–Dravnieks deletion pass leaves the core {29, 35}, each kept group\n  essential by an exact rational witness, and `cert4653-core.json` (873b2671…) passes #1848's\n  `check1291.py`. Its own next step (`dda277f1…`) is a route-8 LP/rounding task (\"solve the LP\n  min λ103(29)+λ103(35) … round the dual exactly\").\n- **Its served bytes carry none of the step's objects or text (C07).** Route 7's step names\n  `census4587-all.json`, `ifront959.out`, `anchor975.py`, `checkcert959.py` and #1840's `tree959`\n  format, and asks for depth-1 `n1` certificates and a depth-2 scan. #4028's served bytes contain\n  **zero** occurrences of `tree959`, `census4587`, `ifront959`, `anchor975`, `checkcert959`,\n  `one-anchor`, `n_int`, `depth 2`/`depth-2`, and **none** of the step's\n  `question`/`success`/`failure`/`method` text. (Its four occurrences of `134` all sit inside 64-hex\n  digests — checked.)\n- **The objects differ in kind (C08).** Route 7's step is about the *weighted-to-integer gap* on\n  #1840's 200 N52 supports `a = 9409 + 6007k`, Q = the 19 primes 101..193: are the 164 one-anchor\n  depth-1 trees at `n1` valid in `tree959` format, and how much of that gap does **depth-2**\n  conditioning close on 40 supports? #4028 certifies a **Farkas infeasibility** of a single\n  split-D51 LP system. A smaller phase-group core in route 8 neither validates nor invalidates\n  route 7's 164 certificates, and it does not run the depth-2 scan.\n\nThe route-8 step check itself (#4020, quoted inside #4028) draws the same line from the other side: it\nrecords that route 7's `#2167` \"conclu[des] these differ from this step's exhaustive q0 branching\".\n\n## What the record still leaves open (re-verified at this check)\n\n- **Custody, unchanged (C01–C02).** `canon(route 7.next_step)` = `canon(#2167.research.next_step)` =\n  `canon(#4023.research.next_step)` = `canon(the step quoted in the issued brief)` =\n  `db3d7cf0…`, and it equals **both** served `next_step_sha256` fields. The issued `research_task`\n  repeats the step's `question`/`success`/`failure` **verbatim** as\n  `{unresolved_obligation_md, expected_evidence_md, stop_if_md}`, with `intent:\"extend\"` and\n  `predecessor_returns [2167]`. (For this step the ASCII-escaped and UTF-8 canonical forms agree —\n  unlike the `±`-carrying step of run-2026-10-15-dm — so no UTF-8 trap applies here.)\n- **Nothing on the route postdates #4023 (C03–C04).** Route 7 is `rev 9`, `state active`, origin\n  #372, `last_return_id` **4023**. Its 9 events are exactly #372 `proposed`, #373 `blocked`, #379\n  `promising`, #1844 `result`, #2035 `promising`, #2056 `result`, #2159 `promising`, #2167 `progress`,\n  #4023 `promising`; the newest event (id 1622) is #4023.\n- **Jobs (C05).** `#8224 assigned` (this check, rev 9, `first_look`), `#8208 returned` (#4023, rev 8),\n  `#4765 expired` (`pursue`, `last_release_note` \"held for a step check against the returns on\n  record\").\n- **The step's inputs are still hash-pinned (C10).** Fetched by declared sha256 and re-hashed:\n  `census4587-all.json` b3193b7b…, `ifront959.out` c8ffeca7…, `anchor975.py` bab3212d…,\n  `checkcert959.py` 53879d8b…, `tree959.py` ad236e22…, #1844's `tree975-51-109.cert.jsonl` 94d5de9a…,\n  `tree975-101.cert.jsonl` 78d671d3…. Every one hashes to its declared value.\n- **The census, re-read from its own bytes (C10).** 200 supports; **164** with `n1 < nstar`; gain\n  distribution `{0:36, 1:98, 2:53, 3:11, 4:2}`; 173 952 LPs total (5 581 s). #2056 states\n  \"Per-support tree certificates were not written\", which is why clause (1) is real work.\n- **The depth-2 target (C12).** The 40 rows of `ifront959.out` are exactly the first 40 census\n  supports (`k = 0..39`, `a = 9409..243682`); their `gap_slots` sum to **134** and\n  `sum(n1 − n_int) = 79`, with **2** supports already at `n1 = n_int`. So clause (2) asks about\n  **79** remaining slots, consistent with #4023's reading of #2056's 55/134 depth-1 closure.\n- **The instrument and the old blocker (C11, and a fresh local check).** `anchor975.py` writes a\n  certificate only when `cnt['STRICT'] == ANCHOR` (`ANCHOR = 101`) and its `main` takes `A, N, ANCHOR\n  = 9409, 52, 101`; `checkcert959.py` is stdlib and takes `python3 checkcert959.py <a> <n> <file>`.\n  Census `a = 9409` has `n1 = 51`, closing anchor **109** — exactly #1844's served\n  `tree975-51-109.cert.jsonl` — so clause (1) is **163** fresh certificates, not 164. The producers\n  import only `numpy` + `scipy.optimize.linprog`; both are now present locally\n  (`numpy 1.24.2`, `scipy 1.11.4`, `linprog` importable via\n  `PYTHONPATH=/work/.solveathome/tools/pylibs`), which removes #2167's 2026-10-02 blocker. **Caution\n  for the pursuer:** the step lists `highspy` among its `required_tools`; `highspy` is **not**\n  installed here and the served producers do not import it — they call scipy's HiGHS driver. A\n  pursuer held for `highspy` should say so rather than treat it as blocking.\n\n## Not claimed\n\nThat the 164 certificates check (only #1844's two are served and checked); that depth-2 closes any\nfurther slot, or that the ladder saturates at depth 1; that #4028's result is wrong, incomplete or\nirrelevant to route 8; that #3992 or #3736 bear on this step (C13 — they certify the *same 40\nsupport/prefix pairs* at the **integer frontier** with depth cap 8, a different object from the\nweighted-to-integer `n1` trees and the depth-2 scan, and #3992 says so itself); that the census, gap\nor frontier numbers are correct beyond their calibration grades; anything about `G2`, `β₂`, uniform\ngrowth or twin-prime infinitude. No number published by any compared return was recomputed; only the\nserved artifacts' own contents were re-read.\n\n## Why the step should still go out\n\nThe step is well posed and bounded: #2056 priced the census at ~1.55 CPU-h and the depth-2 pass is a\nsecond, capped scan on only 40 supports; the format, the checker and the instrument are served and\nhash-pinned; one of the 164 certificates is already served; and the old blocker (no LP solver) is\ngone. The `compute.cpu_hours 0` hint is a hint, not a limit; the pursuit should record its actual LP\ncounts.\n\n## Evidence and the machine-checked check\n\n`check_dn.py` (stdlib only, offline, no producer import — `anchor975.py`/`tree959.py` are read as\ntext, never executed — no solver) re-derives C01–C13 from the served bytes in `served_dn/` and this\nrun's `issued.json`: **13/13 PASS, exit 0** (`check_dn.out`), and thirteen single-fact sabotage runs\neach exit 1 with exactly its own named FAIL (`check_dn.corrupt_exit.txt`). `served_dn/` holds the\nread-only fetches listed in `fetch_dn.json`; the step's named inputs were re-fetched by their declared\nsha256 and re-hashed.\n\n## Cost\n\n0.05 CPU-h (read-only fetches, arithmetic on served bytes, the offline checker). No LP, no certificate\nconstruction, no census rerun.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"tree959.py":"ad236e224d91200b0c27bff8eeae94316e62d0faf22c16e5901442642ee2f106","check_dn.py":"7948dc4c0ea6ccde28a506450d81ea8896143b3b46663fdc37772a64a4eec72e","fetch_dn.py":"2ff04f19cf3132e2a91c505629c576ea333f689031e67798201ad1151539c278","route7.json":"cb713b854c983f82177f86c706d44b51cc5aecaf078afa50c1465fb5afb71292","anchor975.py":"bab3212d656a52ccd0739f6f49442da973478722c4691d1218d3ab93596add8c","check_dn.out":"802a1e016e49eb4bd116407ccdc6410c83ec70c1e9d4eb8e2ddad49924c08cde","job4765.json":"e686d0610112d5602ebc6c516526d8b6f23ed1f58278f84f37af06e29db756f6","job8208.json":"a50232d0a6980cefd07e97f3431b7bcad6c2da5dfa34aa0848b5b5cde7e3e7f3","job8224.json":"3ae7ceaeb97aa8436a68d73c6f175f3562d1e3b99655038647f7d6fcbc47cd5b","recipe_dn.md":"294bfb2b4bdf63cfff4f903cd571295a49d9c4e92893e1504ac3e8eac60f83ab","report_dn.md":"1c47ff1c065057565a479ca085b8ebf7ce9b51dad83f8c51ddc3e3329b126e8d","fetch_dn.json":"0475019ac3b2ba0980aac23a7e082fa4bf9638c306f279cd2670481f0cb50aa0","ifront959.out":"c8ffeca713d55a5a4a79e8bcf47158c842a93b89502291756960a0b175bd6454","evidence_dn.md":"4287f08e672cc29685ebb1397064b731fdae471660ddd87c5446e9470c0c6b1c","checkcert959.py":"53879d8b75638f258732a20f2dc96219f4c988cafa109f858a0bc13e882f1765","prior_art_dn.md":"eb4872854a7052dc51f9d4db621c2f593101a921be17793e52c186ae3f97a934","return_1840.json":"9aa6c9a55716b66584935e775fa22f9609b8445a6cb8601e93181d92286395f7","return_1844.json":"10d1fc8eaeb60491908733b5e75c26d399efb69af7dbf8628eea3c7222566120","return_2035.json":"18a4588430ffa468bd889b38ba4ba7647f1bd4b8537e459b7ef0965d3c8a5674","return_2056.json":"012571b281e0adb43051e48d4c33a1fa55ca0afdda1f14a9705a769b6a72dfe2","return_2159.json":"5c448eb413ece9f10d41eba40210fe01218afb4666e394651f899105777804eb","return_2167.json":"e592dd40d739bc9d36e39505c1e98b533a222a67b3ca9f252a8bf66067ace39d","return_3736.json":"698ff4dffe44108c5f12bcab5df6d2a343017fdf7e74edf422b3ac8a898e2661","return_3992.json":"dd1ed43544ccf20380d894552ec94deeb1bee547dbbd2f0a7f08de2b365bd9e6","return_4023.json":"d8afc4238f3eba893932aec56f535f89f3c1913b0e3904f248521b54977cf5c6","return_4028.json":"12be015e392ed3f967b75379423b74dea2e6d1989a2d229b9dfaa53f4d8101b5","next_step_dn.json":"db3d7cf0812d4efb5bebc2bab6fe6b97bbd9108540e17dcdfa7d8a365a94e9d6","scrub_local_dn.py":"d8789ffdf4291a5b75558d3d09186cb4fb54dc34f6335834c2a3c67b51f86a88","census4587-all.json":"b3193b7be22685e4d888605616c3d201d36e12da2b23af7cd1d07bf15a16b902","issued_step_dn.json":"db3d7cf0812d4efb5bebc2bab6fe6b97bbd9108540e17dcdfa7d8a365a94e9d6","issued_task_dn.json":"e73faeb2f24e2ad5d651ee4ab41ecb7119d305bbadc1c45644310d847f4113d1","tree975-101.cert.jsonl":"78d671d34889306100f18aa7cc3d385dd941c0ebc58c66f641bec75324578d07","summary_transcript_dn.md":"5e0983b3c72b99cda2448c1d047e7d4bf84a53410e5930057537adf8554c2f76","check_dn.corrupt_exit.txt":"4cd0dc5bf3177b97a4f46be1f3830b605e0efa42263be47311f95b3c8b4160d1","tree975-51-109.cert.jsonl":"94d5de9afa0e5dce9ae350f592c6e18be859f650fda9b0da6146e97f35c71d5b"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-15T17:37:33.598Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2167,2056,1840,1844,4023,4028,3992,3736,2035,2159],"messages":[]},"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":"# Recipe — job #8224 (route 7 step check)\n\nA step check is read-only.
