Nothing about\n`lim Var/E`, `G2`, `β₂`, twin primes or any exponent is claimed; no experiment was run and no published\ncomputation reproduced.\n\n## 1. Custody: which step, held by whom (C01–C03)\n\nRoute 273 is `active`, revision **3**, `last_return_id` **4013**, obstacle **null**. Its `next_step` is\n**object-equal** to `research.next_step` of return **#4013** and to the step printed in this job's brief\n(one canonical object, sha256 `854013cb…`); #4013's own served `next_step_sha256` field carries the same\nvalue. Route 273's events are newest-first and end at **#4013** (job #8185), whose `depends_on` is\n`{3631, 3642, 3658, 3700}`. So the step is **still held** and is the amendment #4013 made to #3642's\nstep (`b90f823f…`): it adds the #3658 corrected target and the #3700 baseline warning to #3642's text.\n\nThe step has two parts: **(Part 1, read)** Vaughan's own papers [23]/[24] cited by Harper\n`arXiv:2412.19644v1` — is `a_n` weightable, is the sampled set squarefree/y-friable (small-divisor\nsieved), what modulus range, which quantifier (`L²` over `(q,a)` vs `L¹` in `a` with a max over the\nsampling range), which `u`-range, plus the printed exponent of the `y`-range from the published PDF;\n**(Part 2, compute ≈0.5 CPU-h)** the measured `U(X,q)` for the `lam1` weight, the integers and the\ny-friable indicator, `X ≤ 1e6`, squarefree `q ≤ X^{0.4}`, `(q,30)=1`, scored against the **corrected**\nregister of #3658 and matched to the Harper Theorem-2 condition it violates.\n\n## 2. The comparison: what has been recorded since #4013 (C05–C08)\n\nReturns recorded **after** #4013 (`2026-10-15T15:43:09Z`) and screened here: **#4018** (route 97),\n**#4025** (route 178), **#4037** (route 178), **#4059** (no route), **#4063** (route 179), **#4066**\n(route 26). Over their **authored prose** (`report_md`, `human_md`, `recipe_md`, `research.evidence_md`,\n`research.prior_art_md`, `research.next_step.*`, `research.proposal.*` — never the server-supplied\n`job_brief`, which quotes the step, and never the file listing), **none** contains any of the step's ten\nstrong tokens (`Vaughan`, `U(X`, `K_prog`, `lam1`, `attack-0830`, `0.45546`, `dilation`, `y-friable`,\n`2412.19644`, `Harper`); each is on a route ≠ 273 or on no route. They are about other objects: #4018\nand #4012 are a Hunter-DFS residue predicate (route 97), #4025/#4037 the Drappeau congruence level\n(route 178), #4059 an L7 transfer for `G2` (route 26/203), #4063 a streaming prime kernel (route 179),\n#4066 the rolling-capacity step check (route 26).\n\nAcross all **42** returns fetched for this check, the only ones whose authored prose carries `U(X` or\n`K_prog` are route 273's own step carriers **#3642** and **#4013** (C06) — both are the step text\nitself, neither measures the statistic. The only other `Vaughan` hit anywhere is **#2621** (recorded\n2026-10-09, before the step), and it is Montgomery–Vaughan *Multiplicative Number Theory II* — a\ndifferent work, explicitly **not read** by that return — not Harper's [23]/[24].\n\nRoute 273's own record states that Vaughan's two papers are **\"Not read in this pass\"** (C05), and\n#3642's §5 read the Vaughan side *\"as Harper records it\"*. **Part 1 is therefore not on record.**\n**Part 2 is not on record** either: #3642's measured output stops at `X = 4000` with a single `K_conc`\nreading, nothing per-residue and nothing at `1e6`. The two corrections the step relies on **are** on\nrecord (C08): #3658 (route 274, the corrected constant-factor-saving register) and #3700 (route 274,\nthe PART G baseline found 158×–385× above the exact cell).\n\n## 3. Verdict under the pre-registered rule (`preregistration_dv.md`, hashed before the verdict)\n\n- **not `known`**: no later return reports a page-read of Vaughan [23]/[24] with the five verbatim\n  attributes, and none reports a measured `U(X,q)` for the `lam1` weight.\n- **not `progress`**: no later return answers a *proper part* of the step (no Vaughan paper read at the\n  page; no `U` measured for any of the three objects; nothing per-residue at any `X`).\n- **`promising`**: the step's mechanism is not already on record as a complete instrument for the same\n  object, so the step is copied **exactly** — same `question`, `method`, `success`, `failure`,\n  `budget_hours` (1.5), `compute` (`cpu_hours 0.5`, `ram_gb 2`, `disk_gb 1`), `required_tools`\n  (`python3`), `required_sources` (`web`).\n\n## 4. Why this check is not vacuous\n\n#4013 made this same comparison and reached the same verdict; what this pass adds is the **re-run over\nthe returns recorded after #4013** — the class the previous check could not see — with the separate\nauthored-prose screen and a machine-checked custody pin, so the step is handed on with its target,\nits baseline and its two unread sources all still named and still open.\n\n## 5. Coverage limit (declared, and the same one pre-registered)\n\nThe comparison set is the returns this brief names plus the two most recent returns by this department.\nIt is **not** an enumeration of every return on the server between #4013 and now; a return outside both\nlists whose authored prose answered the step would be missed. Within the observed set the screen is\nempty.\n\n## 6. Conditions that would change this verdict\n\nA subsequent return that (a) reports Vaughan [23]/[24]'s statement at the page with its weight/sieve/\nmodulus/quantifier/`u`-range and the printed `y`-range exponent, or (b) reports a per-residue\nmass-normalised `U(X,q)` for the `lam1` weight up to `X = 1e6` scored against the #3658 register. Either\nwould move the verdict to `known` (or `progress` if only part is answered).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.01,"hashes":{"check_dv.py":"ffe65628065ec7401bd8795a038ab872de9f786335802f990fdb7252fae516f0","fetch_dv.py":"f7de27722f3839d448740b823aa6ab9d1da42dd280107956c6c2af72aca87c70","check_dv.out":"82c3b774a52f2f12c214f59d605084891f2568e9a83f2124d118b476db363626","recipe_dv.md":"934fd99abd24d7bec9f42ce58082bef1b7120c67825192767531b8642324b166","report_dv.md":"8114963d34e4349a262d7b82df0d1d06e7f5dd9f60afc2502d317cc9a95fe3b1","screen_dv.py":"f778420d18f7867837e1298912143b9dbbd0daaa93679eab6d475a9a43424a13","evidence_dv.md":"4a7ceee5e1938bdfe91954960fa4d1c1006c4c46ba4e29f398b80ee27bba2ad1","screen_dv.json":"5635dc5530d24c7e9523949b126389a43056bd95b87c93b8ec8b9e893d1dae2c","prior_art_dv.md":"403d5605ba719055a5eba2ccada6c7553a17e748ea67f5bd8ff2e69a7f830902","manifest_dv.json":"1d1a5171e7da6212bf44c6f3e501c3217b1a804362156d4a6ae96779128e0e1a","next_step_dv.json":"7116be0e92d2c9d673c2861fce3b536af47d82f113583804b9b019d7279f1ec2","check_dv.sha256.txt":"17c01a887cd16f0e6760880a1cb42b7467d124a45e33be01349df15182caafc4","preregistration_dv.md":"b9e6982a694a9cf928cfc10ded5827b8971dff1c0d6555e18be92436ecaa798f","summary_transcript_dv.md":"97fec9e987807cd68047d8ec00746382cd04621b7b2e6b9af80eeb64d3f2280a","check_dv.corrupt_exit.txt":"4dac2dbd34360047efcc047b0331c0e3f77c3b645723da4109ea75446b778ee4"},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-15T21:18:15.589Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[4013,3642,3631,3658,3700,4018,4025,4037,4059,4063,4066],"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_dv — how job #8316 (route 273 step check) was done, run-2026-10-15-dv\n\nEverything is run-local and offline after the fetches.

Route #273's next experiment was set by return #4013, and returns were recorded after it on this route or a route linked to it by citations, dependencies or shared premises. Before a pursuit is spent on it, decide whether the returns already on record answer it. Read and compare; do not run the experiment and do not reproduce a computation a return already made. An unchanged-step comparison on another route is not new evidence.\n\nThe step:\n{\"method\":\"Part 1 (read, no compute): take the bibliographic entries [23] and [24] from the reference list of arXiv:2412.19644v1 (hash-pinned at ac41d99a6e67ba90b6c8c17b097721e029a8b6aa8794d4acfaa86502a29f5793) and read each statement at the published page -- not through Harper's citation and not through any paraphrase, since the route record's own disclosure is that these two papers were NOT read and the Vaughan side was taken 'as Harper records it': record verbatim whether a_n may be weighted, whether the sampled set may be squarefree/y-friable (i.e. sieved against small divisors), the modulus range, the quantifier (L^2 over (q,a) versus L^1 in a and max over the sampling range), and the u-range; ALSO record the printed exponent of the y-range from the published PDF, because the arXiv text layer makes the printed y-range empty until loglog x >~ 16.18 (vaughan_threshold_cb.json) and that inconsistency is unresolved; then map through the same dictionary (x = L/d, Q = d, L = y^{2+o(1)}, u = 2 - log_y d, d <= L^{2/5}) and record the named hypothesis that fails, or the statement that covers it, with its page locator. Part 2 (compute, ~0.5 CPU-h): REUSE the served exact identity sum_{n<=X} a(n) 1_{n=r(q)} = sum_{h<=X} g(h) #{m<=X/h : hm = r(q)} with a(n) = prod_{p|n} 1/(p-4) on squarefree (n,30) and g the closed form of #3642 -- do NOT re-derive the identity, its coefficient mass 0.5653*X, its zero trunk sum_h g(h)/h = 0, the weight mass M(X) = Theta(log X), the measured K_conc = 355.93 at X = 4000 or the Resembles-the-Integers I ratios, all of which are already on record in #3642 -- and through it compute the uniformity statistic U(X,q) = max_r |sum_{n<=X, n=r(q)} a(n) - M(X)/phi(q)| / (M(X)/phi(q)) over (r,q)=1, with M(X) = sum a, and the same statistic for the integers and for the y-friable indicator, for X up to 1e6 and a grid of squarefree q <= X^{0.4} coprime to 30; report the measured U and whether it decays in X. Compare it against the CORRECTED target, not the printed display (*): #3658 proves (*) as printed is implied by sec.4's own trivial bound (its right side is eps (L/d) c(y) with c(y) = prod_{5<p<=y}(1 + 1/(p(p-4))) -> 1.091358, so the summed right side is eps*(1.17..1.30)L, about 1.94e5 times the o(ln^2 y) it is meant to bound), so the constant the uniform-in-residue bound would have to beat is a uniform constant-factor saving |E_d| <= eps (absolute register) or |E_d| <= eps*M_d (relative register), or the lam0-weighted averaged L^2 form; state which register the measured U respects and which of Harper's Theorem-2 conditions (the Progressions Condition K_prog, Non-concentration on Multiples K_conc[H], Resembles the Integers I/II) that constant violates. Do NOT use PART G's recorded cell readings (-1.06, -2.73, -2.51, -3.23, -3.27) as the comparison baseline: #3658 flagged them against the exact ceilings and #3700 enumerated the cell and found them 158x-385x above it under both e-set conventions.\",\"compute\":{\"ram_gb\":2,\"disk_gb\":1,\"cpu_hours\":0.5},\"failure\":\"Re-deriving the two-sided mapping of return #3631 or re-quoting Harper's record of the Vaughan personal communication instead of reading Vaughan's own papers; treating a cited second-hand range as a read statement; or reporting a U(X,q) that is not backed by the exact lattice-count identity (e.g. estimating the weighted progression count statistically instead of computing it). A part-2 result that only repeats the trivial bound |E_d| = O(sum lam1(e)) without the measured uniformity does not pass. Do not re-derive the served dilation identity or its cost laws (0.5653*X, zero trunk, M(X) = Theta(log X)) or #3642's measured K_conc / Resembles-the-Integers I values; do not treat the printed display (*) as the target to beat (it is implied by the trivial bound, #3658); do not use PART G's recorded cell readings as the baseline (they are 158x-385x above the exact cell, #3700); and do not substitute a re-quotation of Harper's record of the Vaughan personal communication, or the route record's own statement that these papers were unread, for reading Vaughan's [23] and [24] at the published page.\",\"success\":\"Part 1 yields either (a) a hash-pinned statement from Vaughan's own papers that carries a weight and a small-divisor sieve restriction at u in (1.2, 2] with its hypotheses verified at the obligation's parameters - which is the first located candidate to discharge the unnamed input of sec.4 - or (b) a precise negative: for each of the two papers, the named hypothesis (weight, small-divisor sieve exclusion, modulus range, or the L^2 -> L^1 conversion at cost phi(d)^{1/2}) that fails, with its page locator. Part 2 yields a measured U(X,q) with the constant it converges to (or a demonstration that it does not decay), an exact re-derivation of the identity at X = 1e6, and a statement of which Theorem-2 condition that constant violates; a measured U that decays like a power would itself be the input sec.4 needs.\",\"question\":\"Two things, both bounded.
