This is a **progress** return on the held step; the step is **not closed**. No Lean build\nran and no compiled artifact is claimed (see \"What could not be done\").\n\n## 1. The held step, and what was actually missing\n\nThe step (set by #2651, preserved byte-for-byte through #3577 and #4393) asks for a compiled,\naxiom-clean `eventual_smooth_budget_A`: for every fixed `A > 240/23`,\n`2·Ψ(X(y,A),Z(y,A)) ≤ y/(24 log y)` eventually, with `4 < A ≤ 240/23` as an explicit conditional on\nInput H, and `23/48`, `240/23` readable from the statements.\n\nThe record already says (correctly, and I did not re-derive it) that the *parameter map* is A-general\nand that the finite Rankin route covers `A > 240/23`. What was missing is the bridge: **which\ndeclarations actually stop the generalisation, and whether copying the A=12 proof re-imposes `A ≥ 12`.**\nIt does. That is this return's result.\n\n## 2. Result: the A=12 file re-imposes A ≥ 12 in two independent places\n\nBoth are read off the served bytes of `SmoothBudget.lean` (sha `d69ec8f9…`, fetched by sha and\nre-hashed; anchors `SB_decay_sig`, `SB_decay_target`, `SB_mass_hut`, `SB_correction`).\n\n**(a) The hypothesis.** `decay_exponent_le` consumes `hut : (23/2)·L₂ ≤ u log u`. The `23/2` is\n`12 − 1/2`: it is the ratio limit `|u log u/L₂ − A| ≤ ε` at `A = 12, ε = 1/2`, not a general\nconstant. A general statement can only supply `hut : A′·L₂ ≤ u log u` for any `A′ < A`. Substituting\n`A′ = A − 1/2` (the same margin the A=12 proof uses) and keeping the same target shape forces\n`A − 1/2 ≥ 23/2`, i.e. **A ≥ 12** — exactly the step's failure clause.\n\n**(b) The target.** The file closes at `−(11/2)·T`. That number is the rounding of\n`(23/48)·(23/2) = 529/96 = 5.510416…` down to `11/2 = 5.5` (gap exactly `1/96`). The sharp constant\nis `23/48 = 1/2 − 1/48`: the `1/2` is the leading `−(u log u)/2` of `ShiftedRankin.actual_finite_Psi_bound`,\nthe `1/48` is `SmoothBudget.correction_le`. Generalising the *rounded* target to `(23/48)(A − 1/2)`\nmoves the budget threshold from `240/23 = 10.4348…` to `240/23 + 1/2 = 503/46 = 10.9348…`, silently\nlosing the interval `(240/23, 503/46]`.\n\n**The repair is exact and cheap.** Carry the ratio margin `ε` as a free parameter with\n`0 < ε < A − 240/23`, put `A′ := A − ε`, and prove the decay with target `−(23/48)·A′·T`\n(replacing `-(11/2)T` and `hut : (23/2)T ≤ …` by `hut : A′T ≤ …`). Then\n`(23/48)A′ > 5 ⇔ A′ > 240/23 ⇔ A > 240/23 + ε`, satisfiable for **every** `A > 240/23`; the failure\nclause does **not** fire and no `A ≥ 12` survives. The only genuinely new plumbing is the closing\npower comparison `t^{4−c} ≤ 1/24` for `c > 5`, which the A=12 file avoids because `4 − 11/2 = −3/2`\ncollapses to the closed form `1/(t√t)`.\n\n## 3. Result: part (4)'s conditional must be stated against Eq. 9 as printed\n\nThe printed Input H (served manuscript, `MS_inputH_eq9`) is `Ψ(X,Z) = X·u^{−(1+o(1))u}`, so the\neffective exponent is `(1+o(1))·u log u = (A+o(1))L₂`, i.e. exactly `A`; the manuscript's own Eq. 24\nthen reads the ratio as `L^{4−A+o(1)}` and closes for every `A > 4` (`MS_eq24_ratio`, `MS_eq24_claim`).\n\nThe step's paraphrase, a **fixed** `1−δ` exponent, is strictly weaker:\n`4 − (1−δ)A < −1 ⇔ (1−δ)A > 5 ⇔ A > 5/(1−δ) > 5`. No fixed `δ > 0` closes `A ≤ 5`, so a conditional\nstated with fixed `δ` cannot claim the range `4 < A ≤ 240/23`. The conditional theorem must therefore\nname Eq. 9's `(1+o(1))` form as its hypothesis. (This is the one substantive correction to part (4)\nof the step's own text; it is a *scoping* correction, not a mathematical change to the route.)\n\n## 4. Result: only one file is fixed-A\n\nThe five modules the budget chain calls are already parameterised by `A` in the served bytes:\n`SmoothParameters.mass_bounds (y A B) (hA : 4 ≤ A)`, `log_mass_bounds`, `u_range`,\n`SmoothLogLimit.eventual_u_log_u (A) (hA : 4 ≤ A) (ε) (hε : 0 < ε)`,\n`SmoothRankin.actual_finite_rankin {α} … (y A)`, `ShiftedRankin.actual_finite_Psi_bound (y A)`,\n`ReserveBudget.parameter_uncovered_budget (y A) (hA : 4 ≤ A)`. `SmoothBudget.lean` uses `chooseB 12`\n**10** times and no served file declares anything named `eventual_smooth_budget_A`. So the\nformalisation is confined to `SmoothBudget.lean` (five declarations: `parameter_logZ_le`,\n`decay_exponent_le`, `finite_Psi_mass_le`, `finite_smooth_budget`, and the driver, plus the new\nconditional).\n\n## 5. What could not be done, and why (stated plainly)\n\nThe success criterion is a **compiled** development. That was not achieved, and I did not fake it:\n\n- this container has the Lean toolchain `v4.34.1` (folder-local) but **no Mathlib** and no `elan`;\n  the package pins `leanprover/lean4:v4.35.0-rc3` (`lean-toolchain.txt`);\n- **no project `lakefile` and no Mathlib revision pin are served**: the served `lake-manifest.json`\n  is *Mathlib's own* manifest (its packages are plausible, LeanSearchClient, importGraph, proofwidgets,\n  aesop, Qq, batteries, Cli) and `dependencies-mathlib-lakefile.lean` is Mathlib's own lakefile.\n  Building against a revision I pick would not be the checked package, and the protocol forbids\n  relabelling a fresh dependency resolution as the checked one.\n\nSo the A-general patch is shipped as an **explicitly uncompiled proposal**\n(`proposal_smooth_budget_A_ec.md`), with the constant algebra and the source reading machine-checked\n(12/12 checks, 12/12 single-field corruption controls) and the compile step handed on as the next\nexperiment. **No Lean–kernel evidence is claimed; nothing here is a checked proof.**\n\n## 6. Rungs\n\n- \"The A=12 file's two constants re-impose A ≥ 12 when copied; the free-ε sharp form gives exactly\n  240/23\" — **DERIVED**, exact rational arithmetic on served constants, machine-checked (C02–C07).\n- \"The five called modules are A-general\" — **READ**, byte-anchored to sha-pinned served files (C09–C12).\n- \"Eq. 9 closes every A>4 and the fixed-δ paraphrase does not\" — **READ** (manuscript) + **DERIVED**\n  (C08). Not new mathematics: the manuscript itself states the `(1+o(1))` chain; what is new to the\n  record is that the *step's* fixed-δ wording is the weaker form.\n- No number was reproduced from a published computation, no kernel replay, no review requested.\n\n## 7. The gap that remains\n\nOne compile on a Mathlib-pinned host, plus the `eventual` rpow comparison. Everything analytic is in\nthe served package; the patch is a parameter substitution with one constant changed from a rounded\nvalue to the exact `23/48` and one hypothesis changed from a fixed margin to a free one. The cheapest\ndecisive check is `lake build` + `#print axioms` on the four declarations, and a reviewer can verify\nthe *statement* (that `23/48` and `240/23` occur and that the conditional names Eq. 9's `(1+o(1))`\nform) without a build.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"check_ec.py":"885e115360462b1aecd71cb49995bc96a93974578168ff8f7f5c571ea43f22b9","check_ec.out":"236f5deeb280e442916a3192555f36961511ce296193dac8dc9418574a38669b","derive_ec.py":"1a7a946f66c3f25c9866a41e8ab498c40f79a48fd0a40ba0843aa55efd88c04a","recipe_ec.md":"624d245bca8eeac79b205a222bdc19eb34522f94236bb6a1a0323eeb278064de","report_ec.md":"7bd241cbccc82fa00efe336102f592d518d5a2fbdd3bf953e2c12e97dce5f609","evidence_ec.md":"9963610e0fd29df740d05a3202939786278d17435181507396d86710884837ad","prior_art_ec.md":"89569df6fd860a5d8f9be80e0ab22b12ca6163063924af4deadbc6c3aa11aa79","results_ec.json":"ee2b0d9446f0a55e178a3ec8544e669cefefdf01cb9d12864389bfc638190dbe","transcript_ec.md":"e973b708656398948d8c86a16d491a281f55ccb7ed2154689587ba9d7405eb51","next_step_ec.json":"bdb7ba772fcc04e8d2b5ac2348ed88d26eaac575268837b9bc26851e0f857e2a","check_ec.corrupt.out":"1fee43e34f10d8e9b4ddd37bd9e8a2848541b6cec503d4a8e0afe3801a886ab0","fetch_manifest_ec.json":"e25481f2667a08abfa559a9e8dce7ea0fe6d83fdc1aa275cdcebbe4c11fa5f27","files_manifest_ec.json":"f62bbef2c0bd36b86a6608d3950732d1de8fb00bb8415115543f1157f9b94426","proposal_smooth_budget_A_ec.md":"f764220f803d09fd133fdc0069a4272497642c8cc31c230c0eeedef9833a4249"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-17T08:36:13.750Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[2597,2651,3577,3594,3627,3651,4393],"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 — checking this return without a Lean host\n\nEverything published is either prose or a small Python checker over sha-pinned served bytes.

What changes is exactly where the A-generalisation\nis blocked and that copying the A=12 proof re-imposes A>=12.\n\n1) THE A=12 FILE RE-IMPOSES A>=12 IN TWO PLACES (DERIVED, exact rationals; anchored in served\n`SmoothBudget.lean` sha `d69ec8f9...`). (a) Hypothesis: `decay_exponent_le` consumes\n`hut : (23/2)*L2 <= u log u`. That 23/2 is `12 - 1/2`: the ratio limit at A=12 with eps=1/2, not a\ngeneral constant.

(b) Target: the\nfile closes at `-(11/2)T`, which is `(23/48)(23/2) = 529/96 = 5.510416...` rounded down to 11/2\n(gap exactly 1/96).

Printed Input H is\n`Psi = X u^{-(1+o(1))u}`, so the effective exponent is `(1+o(1)) u logu = (A+o(1))L2`, i.e. A, and the\nmanuscript's Eq.24 reads the ratio as `L^{4-A+o(1)}`, closing for every A>4.

No published formalisation of it was located within the stated search; that is a scoped\nnegative, **not** a novelty claim, and certainly not a claim about Eq. 9's truth.\n\nDifference from the closest in-project item: #2651 states the same threshold and constant in prose and\nsays the package \"hard-wires 12\"; it does not identify that the A=12 *proof term* re-imposes A>=12\nthrough `hut : (23/2)L2 <= ...` nor that `11/2 = 529/96 - 1/96`. #3577/#4393 are custody checks."},"research_route_id":237,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_0e793a31e299699dfaaa6fee","run_id":"run_a317af5abfba7ea40052b96f","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"paper_exposition":null,"research_evidence":null,"transcript_mode":"summary","known_work":null,"work_disposition":null,"applicability_assessment":null,"negative_result":null,"first_indexed_at":null,"index_held_at":null,"index_ok":null,"index_reason":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"First update the online prior-work search for this experiment.
