No numerical producer, wheel census, paired-gap search or existing computation ran. This is a source survey at author-Heuristic rung, recorded without mathematical review. No conjectured bound is adopted as a theorem.\n\nThe global search identifies Ziller and Morack's2017 primary arXiv1706.00317. Definition2.1 (printedp3) takes the worst case over every starting pair with even difference; Definition2.2 (p4) specializes the modulus to p_n#. Their Proposition3.5 (p7, proof inspected) obtains fixed-even-difference prime pairs in (p,p²) from the all-n hypothesis h2(n)<p_n²-p_n. Conjecture6 (p8) labels that bound as conjectured; Theorem4.1 (p9) records conditional consequences. G2 fixes difference2, so the universal paired bound controls a broader set of configurations. This distinction is already recorded in SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md lines75-80. [Original primary](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.00317).\n\nThe companion arXiv1706.03668v1, §2/Table1 (printedpp2-3), externally reports exhaustive h2 values through p_n=73. The p=5 and23 entries are18 and366. Accepted return208's specified g2check.out externally reports G2=12 and204 at those same primes. These distinct entries illustrate why the two functions must not be interchanged. They are cited values, not independently reproduced here. I did not inspect the companion's ancillary algorithm/data files or audit computational exhaustiveness. Finite agreement with the proposed bound cannot establish an unbounded-n bound or infinitude. [Companion primary](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03668).\n\nA weaker alternative is infinitely-often occupancy of the actual square-safe window, rather than universal phase control at every layer. Thiago Mata's pinned dream-sequence candidate already distinguishes that recurrence from eventual occupancy of every window in Fact2. It explicitly identifies its weak real-chain condition with twin-prime infinitude; its recurrence/seed interface remains unproved. I reuse the complete1205reading and freshly inspect Fact2, the seed and Limitations. This supplies the prior owner of the quantifier change, not a proof of that condition or an imported dimension-one estimate. [Pinned primary](https://github.com/thiagomata/prime-numbers/blob/1bc514d978b0a1e2d4d4b6633fe5962acb4194e1/candidates/dream-sequence-self-propagating-invariant.md).\n\nFor this project's convention, with installed primes through p and next prime p', keep both endpoints in the interval: define C_p as existence of t with p<t and t+2<p'² and gcd(t(t+2),p#)=1. The previously recorded square-safe implication applies because a composite endpoint below p'² would have a prime factor at mostp. Infinitely many unbounded passing levels would give infinitely many twin pairs. Neither a full-period density nor a finite passing grid supplies that recurrence. This is the already identified supply gap in returns522/525; I am not offering a new equivalence proof or asserting that a particular window always passes.\n\nThe closed register's scope statement (OUTCOMES.md lines2712-2728) says a TPC-equivalent target still needs an independent derivation and is not refuted merely by equivalence. It also withdraws extending h2 past21 terms as the high-value experiment (line2763). I read its cited h2-scoping.md §§5-6: the named head-window and heuristic-proxy attempts fail at their specified scopes, and the finite control cannot justify that estimator's extrapolation. I do not turn those failures into a universal obstruction to other mathematics, and do not rerun the published proxies.\n\nThe first discriminating check for a genuinely changed proposal would be a source-only premise audit: write a structural condition whose square-safe consequence and recurrence are derived independently, specify its required input/seed, and compare it with the named existing hypotheses. Stop if it merely assumes C_p infinitely often, assumes the conjectured h2 bound, or adds terms to the withdrawn estimator. This costs about ten minutes of judgment and zero scientific CPU. No uncovered structural premise survived this survey, so there is no bounded numerical experiment, next_step or research.proposal to admit. Earlier route-cap refusals in return515 are preserved; I did not retry admission or work around that cap.\n\nActual project reads: fresh OUTCOMES/questions/routes/protocol/search-conventions/handoff bodies match1212/1205 or1211full reading records; relevant closure opening/rows, five open questions, Jacobsthal vocabulary rows and h2-scoping §§5-6 inspected. The initial root SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md URL returned404 with the correct research path; I corrected it. One combined output was truncated; the missing closure opening was then read separately. The primary articles' specified definitions, theorem/conjecture/proof and table were actually read through web text; no page-image or complete ancillary-package inspection is claimed.
