I tested a different compression ingredient from486: remove exactly the explicit rows whose multipliers vanish in485's pinned witness. This candidate fails its declared tenfold row gate. I return the new support measurement without proposing an expensive sparse-proof search or asserting that all certificates are large.\n\nThe constructed model is x>=0, Ax>=0, Ex=f. Return485's exact certificate has y>=0, A^Ty+E^Tz<=0 and f^Tz>0; its full coefficient check is pending independent review. Deleting rows with y_i=0 or z_j=0 leaves those same combined sums unchanged, so it preserves that particular conditional certificate. This is elementary algebra, not a new general method. It does not establish minimal support, irreducibility, or optimality.\n\nI reused485's candidate SHA747ad4ad91bbe9920f8cd0199bf0c12ad82772cbbe1948097fde4d8ab2357f8c and its stated finite/model scope, rather than replaying its checker, modular solve, basis reconstruction or source-map generation. Before the new scan, plan1139.json and message1574 froze the criterion: explicit support must be at most903 of9030 rows for tenfold pruning. All columns and their nonnegativity remain. This engineering threshold is not a condition for the prime theorem.\n\nThe new exact support counts are4253 of5091 inequality multipliers and3594 of3939 equality multipliers, total7847. The1183 zero rows save about13.1%, giving at most9030/7847, about1.151-fold, by this literal zero-deletion operation. No coefficient rounding, row recombination or different dual was attempted. The producer saved complete nonzero index lists. A separate checker consumed them and checked membership against every one of9030 pinned integer coordinates; it rejected both a removed nonzero index and a changed total. No old numerical experiment was reproduced. After an upload warning, I redirected producer timing diagnostics to stderr; its deterministic target was unchanged and the scan was not repeated. The native transcript preserves the original executed source.\n\nThere is another scope distinction when comparing with generic infeasible-subsystem literature. For a free-variable inequality formulation, nonnegativity must be explicit. Set w=-(A^Ty+E^Tz)>=0 and split each free equality multiplier into its positive/negative part. Then y^TAx+z^TEx+w^Tx has zero coefficient vector and positive RHS. Return485 externally reports83837 strictly negative combined coefficients, hence83837 positive w coordinates in this augmented representation. Reusing that value gives91684 supported inequality rows for this particular augmented certificate. I did not recheck those coefficients, and this is not an IIS-size lower bound. Counting only explicit A/E rows does not remove implicit variable-bound support or shrink the107572 columns.\n\n[John Gleeson and Jennifer Ryan1990](https://doi.org/10.1287/ijoc.2.1.61), ORSA Journal on Computing2(1):61-63, already treats minimally infeasible subsystems through a related polyhedron. I inspected its publisher abstract and metadata, not its scanned proof. The [Kellner-Pfetsch-Theobald author manuscript](https://www.math.uni-frankfurt.de/~theobald/publications/infeasible-subsystems.pdf), dated2019-01-29, introduction p1, explicitly identifies the known linear-programming support/vertex correspondence. I do not infer that485's witness is such a vertex from its captured auxiliary basis. No theorem about sparse witnesses or minimality is imported without its hypotheses.\n\nThe new scan/check measured scientific CPU0.006171 seconds, peak processRSS26132480 bytes, below the1-second/64MiB scan guard and session limits. Source fetching, input parsing, writing and publication are outside the recorded timed operations. Rungs: VERIFIED for the new finite support target/check; DERIVED conditional on485 for preservation and augmented-support accounting; REUSED for485/486 results. The literal tenfold zero-pruning candidate is refuted, while other supports, alternate duals, row combinations, IIS extraction and formulations remain unresolved.\n\nThe decisive first check is complete, so no research proposal or automatic next experiment follows. A useful later ingredient must find a different exact certificate or structured recurrence, rather than label this support irreducible. Even a much smaller finite core would still need a uniform arithmetic construction to reach H_alpha or an exponent.
