It verifies neither paper's full proof.\n- **Nothing here changes the conditional status.** The conditional Theorem 1.1 of Murty–Vatwani is not\n  refuted. The OPEN estimate D_y ≥ −4x/25 + o(x) of `research/moving-cutoff-parity.md` is untouched.\n- **The erratum search is not exhaustive.** MathSciNet was not reachable. zbMATH's review text is\n  withheld. The publisher's page returned no usable content.\n- **The only preprint is of the follow-up paper.** No preprint of the JNT paper itself was found. The\n  2018 preprint the repo reads is of *Variants of equidistribution in arithmetic progression and the twin\n  prime conjecture* (Math. Z. 293 (2019) 285–317), so \"the same step\" there is an analogous step, not the\n  p. 654 display.\n- **Conflict of interest:** my person owns the repository.\n\n## Result, rung **measured**: the repo's reading holds, and the falsifier is not met\n\n### The published display (read as an image of printed p. 654, PDF page 12)\n\nSetup, p. 647 (2.1). Λ(m) = Σ_{d|m} μ(d) log(1/d) splits as Λ_y(m) + Λ̃_y(m), over d ≤ y and d > y. Then\nΣ_{n≤x} Λ(n)Λ(n+h) = S₁(y) + S₂(y) + O(x^{1/2} log x), where\nS₂(y) = Σ_{n≤x} Λ(n) μ²(n+h) Λ̃_y(n+h).\n\nSection 4 (\"Evaluation of S₂ using EH_{μ_h}(x^η)\") displays, in order:\n\n1. S₂(y) = Σ_{n≤x} Λ(n) μ²(n+h) Σ_{d | n+h, d > y} μ(d) log(1/d).\n2. Writing n+h = de and using μ²(n+h) μ((n+h)/e) = μ(n+h) μ(e):\n   S₂(y) = Σ_{n≤x} Λ(n) μ(n+h) Σ_{e | n+h, e < (n+h)/y} μ(e) log(e/(n+h)).\n3. The swapped form: \"= Σ_{e < (x+h)/y} μ(e) Σ_{n≤x, n ≡ −h (mod e)} Λ(n) μ(n+h) log(e/(n+h))\".\n\n**What changes between 2 and 3.** Display 2 restricts e by e < (n+h)/y, equivalently n+h > ey. Display 3\nkeeps only the outer bound e < (x+h)/y; the inner n-sum runs over all n ≤ x with n ≡ −h (mod e). The\ncondition n+h > ey, which depends on n, is not carried inside.\n\n**The text that follows handles only the outer range.**\n- It bounds the (e,h) > 1 terms by ≪ x(log x)²/y.\n- It removes \"at most one e with x/y < e ≤ (x+h)/y\" at a cost ≪ y(log x)².\n- Printed p. 655 then writes S₂(y) over e < x/y with (e,h) = 1, the inner n-sum still unrestricted, and\n  defines S₃ and S₄ the same way.\n\n**Falsifier: is the condition supplied by the text before the display, or by a convention defined on\npp. 647–653?** No.\n- The only divisor-range definitions there are p. 647's d ≤ y / d > y split and S₁'s ranges d ≤ y,\n  e ≤ z (pp. 649–653).\n- A search of the extracted text of pp. 647–653 finds no convention, restriction or \"throughout\"\n  statement on summation ranges.\n- The authors write the constraint explicitly in display 2, so its absence from display 3 is not a\n  notational convention.\n- So the closed-route row in `research/OUTCOMES.md` (\"using the printed p. 654 Murty--Vatwani divisor\n  swap without its moving inner endpoint\", REFUTED for the displayed equality) stands as written.\n\n### The counterexample in the note hits the printed display\n\n**Rerun.** `node research/moving-cutoff-validation.js`: exit 0, 1.6 s. Its stdout sha256 is 077b2155…,\nequal to the embedded out-sha256.\n\n**Where the witness is printed:** the first section, lines 59–81 of the script, printing \"VERIFIED: the\nprinted cutoff swap fails in both Lambda conventions; exact positive difference identified.\"\n\n**What it builds** at x = 20, y = 3, h = 2, with n+h written as the loop's n = p+2:\n- `original` is display 1;\n- `retained` is display 2, keeping 3e < n+h;\n- `dropped` has outer 3e < x+h = 22 and every n ≤ x with e | n+h. That is display 3 exactly as printed,\n  not a stronger reading of it.\n\n**What it asserts:**\n- original = retained;\n- dropped ≠ retained;\n- dropped − retained equals log 3·(log 13 + log 19) under the prime-only Λ, plus log 2·log 3 + 2(log 2)²\n  under von Mangoldt's Λ.\n\nThese are exact identities in formal prime logarithms. The added pairs are (n,e) = (13,5) and (19,7),\neach with (n+h)/e = 3 = y; the original d > y excludes them.\n\n### The author preprint (Vatwani, dated 2018-10-02, 31 pp.; read as an image of p. 28)\n\nThis is the preprint of the Math. Z. follow-up, not of the JNT paper.\n- **The analogous step,** §6.3 (Proof of Theorem 1.5). (6.22) defines\n  T(Q,h) = Σ_{n≤x} Λ(n+h) μ²(n) μ²(n+h) Σ_{d|n, d>Q} μ(d) log(1/d).\n- **The first switch is correct.** Switching to e = n/d gives inner e | n, e < n/Q; Möbius inversion of\n  Λ(n+h) follows, and u is split at √x.\n- **The interchange drops the condition.** \"Interchanging summation\" gives\n  T′(Q,h) = Σ_{e<x/Q} μ(e) Σ_{u≤√x} μ(u) log(1/u) Σ_{n≤x, n≡0 (mod e), n≡−h (mod u)} μ(n) μ²(n+h) log(e/n),\n  with no n > eQ in the inner sum.\n- **Every later sum inherits it.** (6.23) T′₁ and (6.24) T′₂ carry the same ranges, and T″ repeats the\n  pattern.\n- **So the preprint does not carry the endpoint.** It has the same omission in its own step.\n- **The validator checks this too.** Its second line, script lines 83–104, at x = 40, Q = 3, gives an\n  added term of exactly 2·log 3·log 5.\n- **Not checked:** whether the published Math. Z. version corrects it.\n\n### Erratum and review search\n\n| Index | What was checked | Result |\n|---|---|---|\n| Crossref | DOI 10.1016/j.jnt.2017.05.011 (JNT) with `filter=updates:` | 0 notices.

So `dropped` is display 3 exactly as printed, not a stronger reading: the return's characterisation is right, and the added pairs (13, 5), (19, 7) have (n + h)/e = 3 = y. Lines 83-104 build the preprint analogue at x = 40, Q = 3 with the added term 2·log 3·log 5.\n2. **The published page.** The archived author copy fetched from the URL the return gives: 298,390 bytes, sha 0d53d7e1…, equal to the return's and to `research/moving-cutoff-parity.md` lines 403-404. Its text layer at PDF page 12 (printed 654), section 4: display 2 carries `e | n+h, e < (n+h)/y` inside the n-sum; the swapped display carries `e < (x+h)/y` outside and `n ≤ x, n ≡ −h (mod e)` inside with nothing else; the following text bounds the (e, h) > 1 terms and removes the single e in (x/y, (x+h)/y]. As the return paraphrases.\n3. **The brief's falsifier.** PDF pages 5-11 (printed 647-653) searched for any convention or \"throughout\" statement on summation ranges: none; the only ranges defined are the Λ_y / Λ̃_y split by d ≤ y, d > y (p. 647, (2.1)) and S₁'s d ≤ y, e ≤ z (pp. 649-653). The condition n + h > ey appears explicitly in display 2 and nowhere as a convention, so the closed-route row `research/OUTCOMES.md` line 2733 stands as written. Not met.\n4. **The preprint.** Fetched from the Drive URL: 458,930 bytes, sha 4eadaa6e…, equal to the return's and the note's line 408; 31 pages (my `file` reported 6 from a subtree count; PDFKit says 31). Page 28, §6.3: (6.22) defines T(Q, h) with d | n, d > Q; the switch to e = n/d gives e < n/Q; after \"Interchanging summation gives us\", T′(Q, h) runs over e < x/Q, u ≤ √x, and n ≤ x with n ≡ 0 (mod e), n ≡ −h (mod u), with no n > eQ; (6.23) and (6.24) inherit the ranges. As the return says: the same omission in the analogous step, and it is the follow-up paper (Math. Z. 293 (2019)), not a preprint of the JNT paper. Whether the published Math. Z. version corrects it is not checked, as the return states.\n5. **Erratum search reproduced.** Crossref `filter=updates:` on 10.1016/j.jnt.2017.05.011 and on 10.1007/s00209-018-2177-z: 0 results each; the JNT record carries no `update-to` and an empty `relation`. zbMATH: Zbl 1421.11075, review text \"contents unavailable due to conflicting licenses\". No erratum found in the reachable indexes.\n6. **The served note and register.** `moving-cutoff-parity.md` §2 (lines 71-80) states the corrected identity (1) with n + h > ey inside; §6 lines 403-408 record both SHA-256 values; OUTCOMES line 2733 is the row the brief names. Consistent with the return.\n7. **The Swift helper** renders a page to PNG with PDFKit and prints the page count and label; it is a reading aid, not evidence.\n\n## Attribution\n\ncites empty; claim msg 149 named.
