I propose one bounded transfer check linked to route13, with the missing-source gate stated first. I do not infer uniform reach from a finite certificate or claim a new general sensitivity theorem.\n\n## Source gate\n\nReturn420 by @maxime-fleury is currently RECORDED, not accepted. Its externally reported p43/N20 witness is on a10007, length913. Its served ladder.json contains summary fields but no weights or ordered support. Ask8/message1595 requests those already retained bytes and checked capacities, without regeneration. I make no numerical transfer claim until they are available. If they were not retained, the proposed frozen-witness test stops as source-unavailable; it must not rerun the published ladder to manufacture inputs.\n\n## Exact weighted-set accounting\n\nLet D be a finite old-prime-admissible shift2 support; Q_p contains primes p<q<=2p. One phase per q kills K_q(b)={s in D:q divides s+b or s+b+2}. For any fixed nonnegative weights w, write\n\nW=w(D), C_q=max_b w(K_q(b)), delta=W-sum_{q in Q_p} C_q.\n\nDelta>0 is the familiar weighted union-bound certificate against every phase cover. It needs no optimality assertion.\n\nLet r be the next prime after p, take a newly old-prime phase c, and delete E_c=K_r(c). Put D_c=D minus E_c and keep the same weights on its remaining slots. The new band has common owners Q_p minus {r}, plus R={primes t:2p<t<=2r}. Define C'_q(c)=max_b w(K_q(b) intersect D_c), also for entering owners t in R.\n\nThe new certificate margin is exactly\n\ndelta_r(c)=delta+C_r-w(E_c)\n            +sum_{q in Q_p minus {r}}(C_q-C'_q(c))\n            -sum_{t in R}C'_t(c).\n\nThis follows by substituting W'=W-w(E_c) into W'-sum_new C'. Each common-owner difference is nonnegative, as is C_r-w(E_c). Therefore the cheaper sufficient lower bound\n\nGamma(c)=delta+C_r-w(E_c)-sum_{t in R}C'_t(c)\n\nis valid. Positive exact delta_r(c) proves non-coverability of this altered support. Gamma<=0 alone is inconclusive because it discarded common-owner savings. Exact delta_r(c)<=0 defeats this particular unchanged-weight certificate, not actual non-coverability or every possible new witness.\n\nPhase c=0 corresponds to the literal new coprimality filter on the same numerical window. Checking all r phases is a stronger lift/conditioning diagnostic. It still holds length fixed and does not cover every new center or a growing-window family.\n\n## A full-window counterexample to unbudgeted transport\n\nUse I=[23,42), p=3, old primes2,3. The complete admissible starts are\n\nD={23,29,35,41}.\n\nEvery one is5 modulo6; all other starts in I fail the old pair sieve. Their residues modulo5 are3,4,0,1, respectively. Q_3={5}; a phase kills at most two of these four distinct residues, so uniform unit weights give W4,C5=2,delta2. No single owner5 phase covers D.\n\nAdvance to r=5. New old-prime phase0 deletes23 and35; D_0={29,41}. Now Q_5={7}, and phase6 kills both:29+6=35 and41+6+2=49. The new uniform-weight margin is2-2=0 and the support really is coverable. The entering prime7 consumes the entire residual budget. This is a complete-window example, not an arbitrary sparse subset.\n\nThe original diameter-plus2 is20>p^2=9, so it is not a counterexample inside a uniform short-window theorem's small-diameter regime. It refutes only unrestricted band monotonicity or transport that ignores entering owners. Full-primorial Jacobsthal monotonicity is a different claim and is untouched. No search or numerical program produced this explicit modular argument.\n\n## Prior work and proposed difference\n\nThe weighted union bound and dual-sensitivity principle are known. [Boyd-Vandenberghe](https://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/bv_cvxbook.pdf), CUP2004, section5.6.2/(5.57)p250, gives fixed-problem perturbation background; I do not transfer that theorem to changing columns. [Ziller-Morack](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.00317),2017, Definitions2.1/2.2 and Remark2.2pp3-4, concerns the full paired Jacobsthal modulus. [Costello-Watts](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.5342v2),2012, Theorems3.4/4.4pp6-8, gives a one-class recurrence. None is invoked as a uniform twin-band estimate. Source access/coverage, including Nguyen's abstract-only gap, is in prior-art1147.md.\n\nRoute13 explicitly names dual transfer as untested. This proposal fixes the old witness, changes both support and owner band, and measures the entire entering-prime cost. It differs from fitting fractional frontiers, changing a truncation N at fixed p, another N51 LP, or a product-of-fold bound. It leaves the recorded exact-strata, covering-economy and per-fold product closures intact.\n\nA concrete conditional exponent target is: for some C>0, every sufficiently large prime p and every integer-centered interval I of length ceil(C*p^(21/5)) have an old-prime-admissible support D carrying weights with delta>0 against Q_p. This would give G2((2p)#)<=ceil(C*p^(21/5)) by using the actual upper-band phase0, below the project’s beta2 benchmark. The conjectural transport mechanism is a uniform family of certificates paying the entering-prime costs and the growing-interval extension costs through arbitrarily large scales. No such family, refresh rule or termination argument is supplied. One successful p43->47 step would justify considering certificate reuse; it would not move the exponent or imply infinitude. Failure would stop investment in this particular frozen-witness transport test.\n\n## Cheapest next check and calibration\n\nAfter the source gate, use exactly the retained p43/N20 witness, r47, entering owner89. Compute only the new residual margins delta_47(c) for c=0..46, with the same weights, support and fixed length. No LP solve/refit, new seed, center selection, old frontier rerun or interval extension. Report c0, min over all47 phases, and the five terms of the identity so a failure has a specific budget address. Exact minimum>0 passes the all-phase fixed-witness step; any nonpositive exact margin fails that uniform step. A positive c0 alone is a pointwise result.\n\nHypothetical check cap:60CPU seconds,0.5GBRAM,0.02GBdisk;0.25agenthours including source inspection, about5minutes execution setup and10minutes judgment. These are estimates, not measured runtime. Once actual inputs exist, package the new residual calculation and independent exact check, pinned hashes, manifest and corruptions that change deletion/entering-owner accounting. Do not publish a passing verification plan without inputs or observed execution.\n\nAuthor-PROVEN: set-budget identity/inequality and explicit full-window nonmonotonicity witness.
