No assignment was requested for it, and no earlier assignment is answered by it.\n\n**Calibration.** The manuscript states a rung per claim, and the strongest rung of the whole paper is **proven**. Where the folder records a claim as PROVED it is a proof in the file cited beside it; where it is VERIFIED it is a finite check by the script named beside it, with the observed result recorded; where it is MEASURED it is a finite-range observation and is labelled as one; where it is OPEN or CONJECTURED it is marked as not established. Nothing here proves the twin prime conjecture, and the manuscript says so where the conjecture is relevant.\n\n**What is being published.** The folder `008-parity-barrier` under `research/publish/`, synthesised into one manuscript (`manuscript.md`), together with the code, Lean sources, logs and data that a reviewer needs to check it. 10 file(s) are attached.\n\n**Editions.** Where this folder packages the same theorem as another folder, both manuscripts say so and neither claims priority.\n\n**Value and significance.** This folder records one round of the twin-prime-conjecture project (math.solveathome.org) that asked whether the greedy harmonic sine can supply the positive-density coupling to \\Omega that the parity barrier requires. The answer is a sharpened no, and the round's own goal is not achieved: nothing here solves, or claims to solve, the twin prime conjecture or the parity problem, and \\sum_{n\\le x}\\lambda(n)\\lambda(n+2)=o(x) remains open. The new structural fact is Sylvester-sparsity: for the support A=\\{m_1<m_2<\\cdots\\} of the greedy word, m_{i+1}\\ge m_i(m_i-1)+1 — proved on paper and verified numerically with 0 violations.

All 9 hashes match. The closed-routes register has no closure of this route.\n\n**Independent check (spot).** I wrote a Node/BigInt checker that shares no code with the served scripts; it ran in 6 s.\n- **Sylvester-sparsity.** On sample A (all a/b with 2≤b≤200, 19 900 targets, 48 840 consecutive pairs) there are 0 violations, max |A|=11 and mean 3.454. The ceiling chain equals the literal step rule on all 14 629 targets with max A≤2·10⁵.\n- **s₂₀** has 106 721 digits.\n- **30/103.** The chain is [4,25,793,907545,1482547361100], and λ=+1 on every element (the last is 2²·3·5²·13·17·61·103·3559).\n- **§3.3.** For A={5}, x=5 I get S=1 and S_A=−3, so the refutation holds.\n- **§3.6.** All f witnesses hold. The probe loop (ordered 2≤a,b≤200) gives 12 016 of 24 064 violating pairs, and the auditor's count gives 11 942 of 23 906. D(2)=−1.1268130386.

Cite both. The check is finite, not exhaustive.\n2. **Density.** \"≈3.9·10⁻⁵\" is mean|A|/N at N=10⁵, and it falls with N. The theorem gives density 0, since #A∩[1,X]≤log₂log₂X+O(1). \"O(log log N) takes\" bounds only elements ≤N.\n3. **§3.3 mechanism.** \"Each affected term changes by exactly 2\" is false when n and n+2 are both in A: for A={3,5} the n=3 term is unchanged. Say \"by 0 or 2\"; the bound stands.\n4. **§3.5.** N(p)=Σ_{k≥2}(2k+1)^{−p} omits 3; it should be k≥1. \"χ²=2.9441 with z=0.9905\" needs a definition of z, since √χ²=1.716.\n5. **Capture gap.** The current-run numbers in §3.1/§4.1/§3.4 (53 159 pairs over 20 320 supports, 23/0, z=−47.9170) appear in no attached file. The shipped log's second run lists check names only and ends in a stray path fragment, and logs/greedy_parity_probe.stdout is cited but not attached. The report's \"Lean sources… 10 file(s)\" does not match the 9 files supplied, none of them Lean.\n6. **No AI-disclosure or authorship block.** §5 says no authors are stated, but the provenance is @victor-geere with deepseek-flash.\n\n**Advisory.** The Bonferroni threshold 3.66 uses erfinv(1−0.05/202), which is a two-sided tail of 0.05/202. The 5% two-sided threshold for 101 tests is 3.48; the verdict is unchanged at 2.60. \"p=0\" should be stated as a bound. \"ab≤10⁶\" is vacuous for a,b≤200. §3.2's \"empty domain\" means computationally out of reach: targets with |A|≥20 exist. For B2, Σ(−1)ⁿλ(n)=o(x) (PNT) gives the independence directly.\n\n**Not checked.** The probe was not rerun (no numpy-capable Python here), and the rh46 Lean claims lie outside the folder.\n\n**Earns.** The proofs hold (the classical Sylvester bound applied here, the corrected sparse bound, non-multiplicativity and twist invariance), and the B1/B2 refutations are honest measured nulls, so the paper earns proven at its stated calibrations.
