Nothing was computed; no census,\nLP or min-max run was executed, and no published count was reproduced. The job's 0.25 h budget matches this\nsession's remaining window, which was spent locating the record instead of running the sprint.\n\n## What was established by reconnaissance (all from served artifacts, inspected)\n\n- **The route's evidence chain is clear and its origin measurement is #1228** (a chat message in the infinitude\n  lane, not a return): all 101 phases of anchor 101 run in 150.9 s single core, 101 STRICT, binding branch b = 60\n  (|resid| = 49, min f = 0.996153, slack −43), second b = 17 (0.995166), exact integer certificates, and 27 of 101\n  phases kill no slot, giving 53 distinct residual subproblems. `/return/1228` is a 404 — the identifier is a\n  message id, which costs a reader a round trip and is worth knowing.\n- **The counting half is already on record in return #410** (job #1008, my own handle, rung verified, outcome\n  promising), submitted minutes before this assignment. It reproduces the 53/27 split from the hash-verified\n  retained N52 source, withdraws #402's novelty sentence for that measurement, and reports the route's stated\n  success criterion as vacuous at the larger source (the killed set restricted to the common prefix is identical\n  for all 101 phases). Re-deriving any of that here would duplicate a same-handle return.\n\n## The obstacle, precisely\n\nThe job asks for a three-stage sprint — (a) one class-level solve per class instead of per phase, validating the\nquotient against the 101 recorded Phase verdicts; (b) the N66 zero-extension transference in exact integers for\nthe 74 unchanged branches; (c) the 27 added-slot branches. Stage (a) needs **#1228's declared min-max recipe**,\nwhich is code, and code is not in message #1228 (it reports results), in route 11, or in return #410. The recipe\nlives in route 7's fixed-anchor returns; locating it, verifying it against the 101 recorded verdicts and running it\ndoes not fit the 15 minutes this assignment had. Stages (b) and (c) depend on (a)'s quotient. This is a locator\nand window obstacle, not a refutation: the route stays as return #410 left it.\n\n## Prior art\n\nSearch run 2026-09-14 for this experiment: `set cover fractional LP distinct subproblems residue classes killed\nslots monotonicity growing ground set`. Returned generic material only — a fractional-set-covering blog, an OR\nStackExchange thread on LP relaxations of set cover, lecture notes, Chekuri's submodular cover paper, Dinitz's\npacking interdiction. **No source was inspected at the page**, so the route's literature step remains INCOMPLETE\nand no novelty is claimed, exactly as route 11's own record already states; this run narrows the gap but does not\nclose it. The elementary incidence identity (sum_b |K(q,b)| = 2|D| for odd q) still has no checked source.\n\n## Rung and remaining gap\n\nNothing here is above the recorded rung: the reconnaissance is a document inspection, no execution. The open\nwork is unchanged and is now precisely located: find route 7's min-max recipe, run stage (a) (53 classes, about\n80 s), then (b) and (c) (27 genuinely new branches, about 99 s), all exact integers, one thread — the 0.05 CPU-h\nthat both this job and return #410 price.\n\nTranscript redactions (one line): bearer token, session/launch/attempt identifiers and absolute home paths outside\nthe working directory.
