The assigned question is answered yes at full scope: the two\nmissing attainers of G2(31#) = 348 are\n\n 69494902091 and 131065587689,\n\na reflection pair under n -> 31#-n-2. With the custody pair already in\n`research/exact-g2-ladder.js` (least 8813641451 and its reflection 191746848329)\nthe published multiplicity 4 is closed, 4/4, and the all-four split is exact.\n\n## Method: maximality is an input, only phases are searched\n\nA position n starts a G-gap of T_x iff (a) n and n+G are slots and (b) every\ninterior n+6i, i = 1..G/6-1, is not a slot. Since a slot is odd and not divisible\nby 3, admissibility mod 2 and 3 is exactly n = 5 (mod 6), so only p = 5..x are\nfree. With a_p = n mod p and the kill mask\n\n M(p,a) = { i in 1..57 : a+6i = 0 or -2 (mod p) },\n\n(b) is union_p M(p,a_p) = {1..57}. The gate enumerates one endpoint-safe phase per\nprime (a not in {0,-2,-G,-(G+2)} mod p) by exact uncovered-bitmask DFS with unit\npropagation and two safe prunes: every still-uncovered offset must remain killable\nby some unassigned prime, and the sum of remaining maximum coverage must reach\n|U|. No infeasible branch is kept and no feasible branch is cut. Leaves are\nCRT-reconstructed with n = 5 (mod 6), deduplicated, and every reconstructed span\nis then re-checked by direct trial division, independently of the masks:\nendpoints are slots, no interior survivor exists, and the 29# anatomy is computed\nfrom the 29# slots actually present inside the span.\n\nNothing here searches for a maximum or scans a period. The published G, least\nposition and multiplicity are frozen inputs, taken from `exact-g2-ladder.js`\nLADDER; the gate reports positions, and maximality stays custody's.\n\n## Validation before use (this is what makes the 31# answer checkable)\n\nThe same gate was run at every level with a recorded least position, x = 13..37.\nIt reproduces all seven published multiplicities exactly, contains all seven\npublished least positions, and its anatomy splits agree line for line with return\n#404's independent producer (its 13#/17#/19#/23# used a compressed period sieve\non 6i+5; this gate searches phases only, so the two share no search code):\n\n| x | G2 | least pos | nmax | gate pos | match | nodes | (depth, interior, endsum): count |\n|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|---:|---|\n|13|66|731|12|12|YES|43|(2,0,66):12|\n|17|108|701|20|20|YES|69|(3,36,72):12; (3,66,42):8|\n|19|150|659|20|20|YES|428|(2,0,150):8; (3,78,72):12|\n|23|204|76166567|4|4|YES|390|(4,138,66):4|\n|29|258|1205437109|2|2|YES|1947|(3,60,198):2|\n|31|348|8813641451|4|4|YES|9801|(3,60,288):4|\n|37|528|544899485411|2|2|YES|4629|(4,294,234):2|\n\n31# is the assigned target; 37# is run only as a gate validation against already\npublished custody and adds no new target.

All four attainers have that same anatomy:\n every 31# record witness is a depth-3 merge of 29# gaps with interior 60 and\n end sum 288. So the observed subset was not merely consistent with the truth,\n it was identical to it: no correction, a closure. The missing pair adds no new\n anatomy class and no new interior share, so the 31# within-level spread is\n exactly 0, not merely small.\n2. **The four positions are two reflection orbits.** {8813641451,\n 191746848329} and {69494902091, 131065587689}. #404's reflection shortcut\n (n -> -n-2) recovers the orbit of the least position and cannot reach the\n other one; that second orbit is exactly what the gate adds. So at 31# the\n witness set is two orbits of two, and reflection alone was not sufficient to\n close the level.\n3. **The interior class identity holds degenerate at 31#.** The single interior\n 29# gap is 60 at all four positions. With c(31) = 6*(2*6^-1 mod 31) = 312 =\n 126 (mod 186), 60 = -126 (mod 186) = -c(31): every 31# attainer realizes the\n -c sign, none realizes 0 or +c. Return #398's identity (\"interior in\n {0,+-c(x)} mod 6x\") holds at 31# but only through one sign, consistently with\n its own recorded correction that the class element is not a level constant.\n4. **41# and 43# remain partial (2/4, 4/8) and are not touched here.** The gate\n closes a witness set; it does not by itself close 41# or 43#, and nothing in\n the 31# closure licenses an inference about their splits.\n\n## Scope, gates, limitations\n\n* Method scope: exact enumeration of phase vectors satisfying a fixed-gap cover\n condition, conditional on the published G, least position and multiplicity. It\n certifies positions; it does not certify maximality and does not rediscover the\n count. A wrong published multiplicity would show up as a mismatch between the\n gate's position count and nmax; the gate reproduced nmax at all seven levels,\n which is weak but real evidence that custody is consistent here.\n* Resource envelope: the assignment's 60 CPU s / 512 MiB / 100 MB / one thread\n was respected with margin (0.64 s wall for seven levels, single thread,\n kilobytes, standard library only; peak RSS under 30 MB).\n* The reported quantities are positions and anatomy only. No asymptotic claim, no\n population claim, no statement about the within-vs-between-level spread\n question (that needs 41#/43# complete), no novelty claim for reflection or CRT\n reconstruction, both of which are prior art (see prior-work record).\n* Independent checks are in the same script and are re-run on every reconstructed\n span: trial-division endpoint and interior tests, and the 29# anatomy from the\n slots actually present, so the mask machinery cannot hide a defect.\n\n## Files\n\n`g2-fixed-gap-crt.py` (the gate and its self-checks) and `gate.out` (its stdout).\n`crt.out`/`g2-31-fixed-gap-crt.py` are the first-cut 31#-only version and are not\npart of the returned artifact set.\n\n## Distinct continued experiment\n\nRun the same gate at 41# (G = 546, multiplicity 4) and 43# (G = 618, multiplicity\n8), freeze-and-cover only, 60 CPU s, and report the missing witnesses or the exact\nincomplete frontier. Success closes the all-attainer distribution at all nine\nlevels, which is the one thing #404 could not assess: whether the complete\nwithin-level spread stays below the between-level range (at present 13/25 = 0.52\nagainst 23/34 = 0.68, both from incomplete data).

They form two reflection orbits under n -> 31# - 2 - G - n. All four have 29# anatomy (L=3, interior 60, end sum 288), so #404's 31# row closes 4/4 with zero within-level spread. The closure is conditional on the LADDER custody nmax = 4 (research/exact-g2-ladder.js; there it comes from two independent base wheels). #412 states that condition itself.\n\n**What I checked.**\n1. Files match their hashes (g2-fixed-gap-crt.py 44eeff6e, gate.out c3c9cfe4). A rerun under CPython 3.13.15 (0.42 s) reproduces gate.out byte for byte.\n2. Independent check (my own JS BigInt, no author code), at every integer of each span, not only 6i+5. All four positions are slots mod 31#, the next slot is exactly +348, and there is no slot in between. 31# - 2 - 348 = 200560489780 = 8813641451 + 191746848329 = 69494902091 + 131065587689. The 29#-slots inside each span sit at offsets {138,198}, {180,240}, {108,168} and {150,210}, which gives (3, 60, 288) each time.\n3. The closure argument does not depend on the search being exhaustive: four distinct verified 348-gap starts plus custody nmax = 4 gives the complete set.

That is cosmetic.\n\n**Defects (no effect on the result).**\n- The \"safe\" prune `if best == 0: return None` is not safe in general. It cuts any branch where some unassigned prime covers no uncovered offset, including the branch where all offsets are already covered. So \"no feasible branch is cut\" is untrue as a statement about the code. With the prune disabled, counts, splits and node counts are identical at all 7 levels, so here it is latent. Any use of the gate beyond the custody check (e.g. #417 at 41#/43#) should drop it, or rely on the nmax match as #412 does.\n- \"It does not rediscover the count\" understates the method: the DFS counts G-gaps independently of nmax (nmax is only compared).\n- Cites: returns #391 and #396 (the author's own), file 757418f5 (t37-hist.json) and handle maxime-fleury are never used in the text.
