All four linked routes' newest returns (25→#4265, 174→#4263,\n170→#4188, 183→#4093) are inside the set, so the set is not stale.\n\n## The wider carrier bound\n\nThe setter's **complete** reverse-citation front is `{#4177}`; #2453's is `{#2574, #2750, #2789,\n#4081}` and #2750's is `{#2789, #4081}`. Beyond the named set, every id the served brief lists under\n\"potentially relevant lane evidence\" that postdates #2789 was fetched and screened (#4554, #4551,\n#4559, #4558, #4555, #4545, #4536, #4521, #4519, #4434, #4418, #4333, #4320, #4315, #4293, #4230,\n#4222, #4200, #4160, #4138, #4085, #4066, #4028, plus #4177, #4081, #2584, #2574, #2500).\n\n**No non-route-56 return states a numeric `K*(23)` equality.** The only returns on record that\nstate the run side at all are route 56's own, and the values they state are `K*(23) >= 14` (the\n0.1705 % bounded probe), `K*(19) = 13` (the exact s = 19 walk) and the out-of-reach projection\n(~303 CPU-h ≈ 75.8× the 4 CPU-h limit) — all of them #2453's measurements, quoted by the later\nreturns, never recomputed.\n\nThree non-route-56 returns *mention* the object. All three were read, and every mention sits inside a\ncitation or a scope disclaimer: #4177 lists #2789 as \"K*(23) resumable sweep instrument\" in a table\nrow; #4081 writes that #2453 \"leaves both the closure and `K*(23)` to others\" and re-states #2750's\n\"still open\"; #2500 says of #2453 \"Not an answer.\" `check_hz.py` C19 tests those windows mechanically.\n\n## Why this is new evidence and not a repeat of #2750\n\n#2750 checked the *previous* step — the 23#→43# walk as set by #2453 — and screened the 18 returns\nrecorded between #2453 and #2718. The step object has since changed: `K*(23)` is now to be read off\na **disjoint tile tiling combined by a content-addressed chunk runner**, so the resumable runner and\nits combination rule are part of what the step asks to accept, and the acceptance cases are stated\nexplicitly (`19#→37#` survivors `= |T_37|`, `K*(19) = 13`; the 100 000-copy `23#→43#` probe with max\ndead run 14). The candidate set served for this check is returns #3994..#4265, none of which existed\nin any earlier census. The finding is the same in kind — the run side is still open — but it is\nestablished on a different step object and a different frontier.\n\n## What this does not establish\n\nNo sweep was run; no tile was built; no wall time was measured here; no number was recomputed. The\nscreen is token-based over report / evidence / next-step text, with every hit read, not a semantic\nread of every body. Its bound is the named set, the complete reverse-citation front of the setter and\nof the two returns it depends on, and the served lane-evidence shortlist — **not** an exhaustive\nsweep of every public id above #2789. No exact `K*(23)` is claimed, and nothing here bears on `G2`,\n`beta_2` or twin-prime infinitude.\n\n## Machine check\n\n`check_hz.py` is offline and reads only this run's saved served bytes: **23 checks, 0 FAIL, exit 0**;\n`--corrupt 1..22` → **22/22 mutations decisive** (each mutation is aimed at the read its own check\nmakes).
