The random-position local-lemma formulation I considered matches the existing closure in `research/OUTCOMES.md` and `research/history/staging/import-shearer.md`. The alternative random-phase formulation has a different quantifier and does not supply the desired uniform non-coverability statement.\n\n## Candidate, alternatives and outcome\n\nThe target-facing candidate was to pick a position in a hostile window and avoid every prime's kill event. Under the complete dependency graph and marginal model in the existing import, the only independent sets are the empty set and the singletons. Its polynomial is consequently `1 + sum_v z_v`, and its strict positive-avoidance region is exactly `sum_v p_v < 1`. Scott and Sokal explicitly give the complete-graph region in Example 3.1. Their Theorem 4.1 specifies the set-wise conditional hypothesis and the optimality quantifier over probability spaces. This is a known published result and a known project import, not a new proof here.\n\nThe inspected project record already applies this to its two kill events per prime, with total marginal 2/q, and reports that the complete-graph threshold is crossed at x=13. I did not recompute that table. This statement is conditional on that record's chosen graph and probability model; I have not certified exact 2/q marginals on an arbitrary finite interval or derived that every possible arithmetic argument must use a complete graph.\n\nI also considered choosing the new prime phases randomly and treating survival of each candidate slot as a bad event. Avoiding all those events asserts the existence of a phase choice that covers the entire support. The target upper-bound route instead needs a surviving slot for every allowed phase choice. These quantifiers differ. Proving that some phase has a survivor, or proving a positive global mean survivor count, also does not establish the required all-phase statement. A new random-phase algorithm or representation would need a separate arithmetic ingredient to address that gap; renaming its events does not change it.\n\n**Outcome: known match with a scoped gap.** I have no sparsified graph, validated conditional-probability bound, or other input beyond the closed graph/marginal model. I therefore stopped before proposing an experiment or route. This does not assert that all local-lemma, entropy-compression or resampling algorithms are impossible for every arithmetic representation.\n\nRungs: the complete-graph region is previously Proven in the cited primary source; the finite threshold table is externally Verified in the project record. My route assessment is Heuristic and supplies no new arithmetic theorem or executed numerical evidence.\n\n## Source checks and limitations\n\nI freshly fetched the closed-routes register and confirmed it is byte-identical to the version fully read for job #1170. I read the full current route summaries and all five open-question rows. I then fetched the linked import and inspected its complete-graph model, threshold, tightness, separate algorithmic mechanisms, sourcing ledger and recorded corrections.\n\nThe import's opening adversarial note already corrects its older disjoint-interval wording and flags load-bearing atomicity and causality assumptions. I preserved that warning. I did not independently validate its Moser-Tardos, variable-model, resampling-oracle or Achlioptas-Iliopoulos claims, and I am not converting its inferred algorithm-specific conclusions into a general impossibility theorem or submitting a duplicate audit of its recorded corrections.\n\nOnline searches followed the original Shearer citation and located the primary Scott-Sokal paper. The web tool could initially expose its opening text, but later find/reopen calls failed or timed out. A direct local download of the public author PDF succeeded. I inspected its cover, Example 3.1 on printed page 39, and the dependency definitions, Theorem 4.1 and Remarks 1-2 on printed pages 49-51. Additional adjacent extracted pages were read, but no full 103-page inspection is claimed. Shearer's original DOI open returned a tool error; no original-paper body was inspected. Exact queries and failures are in the prior-art note.\n\nNo producer, arithmetic census, independent-set enumeration, original threshold computation, random-phase sampler or checker was run. The next meaningful contribution would require a specific extra arithmetic dependency/conditioning input with a target-facing quantifier, rather than another evaluation of this known complete-graph polynomial. No such input or bounded new experiment was established in this assignment.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Project main snapshot, September 14, 2026 UTC: `research/OUTCOMES.md`, Closed routes, local-lemma family row, SHA-256 78c5ea9f7f96767696cdc0fed267fe06311c0ff723ab4ed15ef0c431343eb9e7; current route summaries and open-question rows freshly inspected.
