Its premises survive: the served control column is byte-intact and carries\n23 MAIN TABLE rows `j = 16..38`, `max|D_y/x|` over that range is **0.039617 at j = 17**, so the\nstep's `-0.1204` threshold is **not stale** anywhere `j <= 38`, and the step's cost claim\n(33.5 s at j = 30) matches the served table's own `sec` column. But the decision rule #3953\npre-registered has **three defects that a taker would only discover after spending the compute**:\nits leave-one-out test already **fails on the record's own 11 scales** (dropping j = 26 moves the\nfitted exponent by **-2.19**, j = 25 by **+1.30**, against a \"< 1.0\" bar); its success clause is\n**7.61x tighter** than the question it names, so \"success fails\" would not mean \"transfer dead\"; and\nits two branches leave one outcome cell undefined. A fourth, smaller point is fixed by pre-registering\nthe block partition (the block-RMS threshold moves by **1.92x** with it).\n\n## 1. What the record answers (screen, and its coverage)\n\nScreened in full: #3953 (step setter), #1928 (instrument), #1943 (cited cutoff bound), #165 and #151\n(cited dependencies), the six returns citing #3953 {4013, 4030, 4370, 4519, 4527, 4940}, the\npost-#3953 citers of #165 {4030, 4063}, the route's dependent routes' latest returns (36 → #4519,\n80 → #4527, 251 → #4940), route 52's #5013, route 67's #4362, and the brief's #4539/#4565/#4897.\n**0 of 17 report a `Delta_a` value at a new scale.** The centre of the screen is non-vacuous: the\nsame test finds `Delta_a` 6x in #1928's prose and 23x in #3953's. The only prose line pairing\n`Delta_a` with a `j >= 27` scale is #3953's own negative statement (\"No return in this set reports\n`Delta_a` (or `D^(e1)`) together with any scale j ≥ 27\"); it reports no value. The three citers that\ntouch route 169's vocabulary (4370, 4527, 4940) list #3953 as a comparison item of *another* route's\nstep check, and #4030/#4063 belong to route 179's streaming-kernel line.\n\n## 2. Premises of the step that hold\n\n- **Control column (C08-C09).** `centered-discrepancy-measurement.js`, sha256 `e95ed3c4…` (36,432 B,\n  bytes equal to the declared artifact), embeds 23 MAIN TABLE rows, `j = 16..38` complete. So the\n  moving side needs no recomputation at any `j <= 38`, as the step says.\n- **The threshold is not stale (C10).** `-(0.16 - max|D_y/x|) = -0.120383` using the max over the\n  *whole* served range (0.039617, j = 17). Recomputing it only over the pre-extension range would\n  give the same constant, so the extension does not shift the F_A bar.\n- **Exact per-scale allowance (C11).** At the new scales `-(0.16 + D_y/x)` is **0.1557, 0.1589,\n  0.1560, 0.1597** for j = 27, 28, 29, 30 — more permissive than -0.1204 by >= 0.035, so the route\n  constant stays conservative.\n- **Cost (C20).** The served table's `sec` column gives 33.5 s at j = 30, 83.0 s at j = 31, 192.0 s\n  at j = 32 (8 workers, moving side): the step's \"33.5 s at j = 30\" is that column.\n- **The cutoff bound (C19).** Both cited documents are unchanged (0e472838…, f6858860…), carry\n  (3a.1) and the `-4x/25` consumer threshold; #1943's \"e1 outside the unclipped range for\n  16 <= j <= 38\" needs no re-derivation.\n\n## 3. The three repairs (this is what the check adds)\n\n**(a) The leave-one-out rule is undefined and already violated.** The step says \"a fitted exponent\nis quoted only if dropping any single scale moves it by less than 1.0\" but never names the fit. The\ninstrument's own fit is `log(|Delta_a|/x) = c - k log log x` (`equiv_census.py`, `fit_k`); with it,\nmy recomputation reproduces #1928's published `k = 5.693718, se = 2.043015` to 1e-9 (C12), and the\nleave-one-out sweep over the **record's own 11 scales** gives\n\n`drop j=26 -> k = 3.5050 (-2.1887)`, `drop j=25 -> k = 6.9901 (+1.2964)`, `drop j=24 -> k = 6.4927 (+0.7989)`,\n\nwith all other drops <= 0.66 (C14). So the rule's bar is violated **before any new data**, at two of\neleven scales, and the fit is one-point determined — the same defect trusted review 562 raised\nagainst the withdrawn 2-se test. The PREREG must name the fit and say whether the LOO verdict applies\nto the extended fit; otherwise \"inconclusive\" is decided by the record, not by the measurement.\n\n**(b) Success is not the question (C13, C15).** The success clause also requires the adverse envelope\n`V(k) = max_{16..k}(-Delta_a/x)` to be *attained before the extension*, and the record's\n`V(26) = 0.015822` (at j = 19; adverse at j = 19, 22, 23 only; 8 of 11 scales favourable). That bar\nis **7.609x tighter** than the named F_A allowance 0.1204 and ~10x tighter than the exact per-scale\nallowance of §2. Since |Delta_a/x| reaches 0.042 on the record, a repeat of that spread at j = 27..30\nwould fail the envelope while the transfer question stays comfortably satisfied. The two verdicts\nmust be reported separately, and only the F_A one speaks to the route's obligation.\n\n**(c) One branch cell is undefined (C17).** Reading the clauses literally, success = A∧B∧C∧D and\nfailure = E∨(F∧G) (A per-j F_A; B envelope; C block RMS; D LOO; E F_A fires; F new adverse maximum;\nG extension block RMS does not decrease). 45 of the 128 truth assignments fail both branches,\nincluding the plausible (A passes, new adverse maximum, block RMS *decreases*). Separately, the block\nRMS the extension must beat is **partition-dependent by 1.92x** — 0.0189 (2 blocks of 10+1), 0.0257\n(3), 0.0299 (4), 0.0364 (6) (C16) — so the PREREG must pin the partition, not only the statistic.\n\n## 4. The live object is only the fixed side\n\nThe moving half of the proposed extension is already on record twice: the served column gives\n`D_y/x` at j = 27..30 = -0.004283, -0.001090, -0.003992, -0.000265, and #4063 (accepted, `measured`,\nroute 179) independently reproduces the served MAIN TABLE's `D_y/x` at every `j = 16..29` with a\nstreaming kernel at MAXRSS 1.31 GiB / 11.7 s for 13 rungs, reaching 2^28 and 2^29 under a 6 GiB cap\n(C18). #4063 mentions route 169, `Delta_a` and the transfer 0 times: it is reusable machinery, not an\nanswer, and it does not compute the per-e progression sums the fixed side needs. So a pursuit's\nentire new content is `D^(e1*)` at `j >= 27` and the resulting `Delta_a`.\n\n## 5. What this changes\n\nThe step stays, with its rule repaired as in §3 and the target unchanged (`j >= 30`, `j <= 38`,\n1 CPU-hour). Nothing here refutes or advances the transfer; the census's finite `D_y` still cannot be\ncited for the fixed consumer until `Delta_a` is measured at the new scales. No duplicate is in\nflight: route 169's jobs are #10415 (this check), #8041 and #4316 expired, #8031 returned, #4298\naccepted.\n\n## 6. Limits\n\nThe screen is search-bounded: `cited_by`, route dependents, the brief's list and route records were\nread (there is no full-text return endpoint), so a return that neither cites #1928/#165/#1943/#3953\nnor sits on a linked route would be missed. No online prior-art query was made this pass: #3953 ran\ntwo on exactly this question on 2026-10-15 and its note stands; this check is a record comparison.\n`D^(e1*)` at the new scales is the object of the next experiment, not of this return. The\n`-0.1204` reading and the exact per-scale allowances are arithmetic from the served column at its\nprinted 6-dp precision.\n\n## 7. Checks\n\n`check_bz.py`: **20/20 PASS, exit 0**; `--corrupt 1..14` each exit 1 with a named FAIL (C01, C02, C01,\nC05, C08, C09, C12, C13, C14, C17, C18, C19, C20, C17).

Its artifact `equiv-summary.json` `68ede7c9…` is the source of every\n  number in §C of the evidence.\n- **#3953** (recorded, route 169's step check, 2026-10-15): replaced the withdrawn 2-se decision\n  rule with the running-sup envelope, a block-RMS cross-check and a leave-one-out stability rule,\n  kept the streaming extension, and set the step this return checks. Its recommendation is what §3 of\n  the report repairs; its negative screen (\"no return reports `Delta_a` with `j >= 27`\") is\n  re-derived and confirmed here rather than taken on trust.\n- **#1943** (accepted `heuristic`): proves the prescribed `eps = 0.01` cutoff lies outside the\n  unclipped range at every `16 <= j <= 38` (slack > 63) and `C_misc = 0` exactly at\n  `e1* = floor(x/(2y))+1`. Cited by the step instead of re-derived; the step's use of it is correct.\n- **#165** (accepted `measured`): the moving census `D_y` through j = 34; **#151** (accepted\n  `verified`): the fixed consumer and the `-4x/25` margin. Both are the step's cited dependencies and\n  neither measures the difference.\n- **#4063** (accepted `measured`, route 179): a streaming rewrite of the *same* served kernel,\n  reproducing its `D_y/x` column at j = 16..29 under a 6 GiB cap. Reusable for the moving half and\n  for the memory pattern; it does not compute `D^(e1)`.\n- **#4030, #4370, #4519, #4527, #4940, #4013, #4362, #5013, #4539, #4565, #4897**: other routes'\n  step checks and unrelated censuses.

Print per j D_y/x, Delta_a/x, C_misc/x, T^(top*)/x, P^(top*)/x, the admissibility ratio e1/(x/2y) and the control diff against the served script's own published column, which covers j = 16..38 (verified this pass: the served centered-discrepancy-measurement.js, sha256 e95ed3c4a930569e..., embeds its MAIN TABLE rows for j = 16..38), so the moving side is not recomputed at any new j. Do not re-derive the prescribed-cutoff domain bound: cite #1943, which proves e1 = floor(x^0.51) is outside the unclipped range at every 16 <= j <= 38 and that C_misc = 0 exactly at e1* = floor(x/(2y))+1, so Delta_a is the only live object. Reach at least j = 30 (four new scales; the served run needed 33.5 s at j = 30 with 8 workers) and stop at the largest j within the declared cpu_hours, j <= 38. Pre-register before the first measurement, in a PREREG file, the three diagnostics the trusted review of #1928 (review 562) requires in place of the withdrawn 2-se test: (i) the per-j inequality Delta_a/x >= -0.1204 at every new j (the route's own F_A); (ii) the adverse-envelope running sup V(k) = max_{16 <= j <= k} (-Delta_a/x), reported at every k, with the block RMS of Delta_a/x over the pre-registered blocks as cross-check, so the trend verdict does not depend on where the sequence changes sign; (iii) a leave-one-out stability rule (a fitted exponent is quoted only if dropping any single scale moves it by less than 1.0, else the trend is reported inconclusive).
