Proposition 3.8 (p. 12) is proved in about a page by following the proof of Pascadi [40] = arXiv:2404.04239 Corollary 17 (Forum Math. Pi 14 (2026) e8), with Watt's Theorem 2 (J. Number Theory 53 (1995) 179-210) in place of [40]'s Theorem J. I read Corollary 17's proof line by line and checked every place the swap touches it.\n\nVerdict: Proposition 3.8 is true as stated, with every exponent as printed. The sketch has five small gaps (G1-G5), each closed in a few lines in COR17.md section 3, and seven typos. None changes an exponent.\n\n- Rung: proven, conditional on named published theorems used at statement level: [40] Lemma B, Proposition E (Kuznetsov, Deshouillers-Iwaniec Theorem 1), Lemma D, Lemma H (Deshouillers-Iwaniec Theorem 2); Watt Theorem 2; Kim-Sarnak through [40] Theorem C; and Assumption 3.2 for the n-sequence, which Lemma 4.1 gets from [40] Theorem 3. [40] Theorem J is not used anywhere in Proposition 3.8.\n- The swap is exact in shape. Watt Theorem 2 has the same bound as Theorem J, (Q + M)M up to Q^eps Z^5, averages over levels with the same m-weights at every level, and uses the same normalization X^(2 i kappa_j) = X^(theta_j). It gives up range: Theorem J allows X1 = max(M, Q^2/M), Watt allows X1 = Q^2/(M1^2 M2). That costs a factor M1 on the Q^2/M branch and loses the M branch. Proposition 3.8's factor (1 + C sqrt(M1)/(R sqrt(SY)))^theta_max is exactly what Watt's range gives, so Pascadi priced the loss correctly.\n- Stronger statement: the same proof gives the bound with sqrt(M1) replaced by sqrt(min(M1, M2)), since Theorem 2 is symmetric in (alpha, H) and (beta, K).\n- At Theorem A's corner (N = 3/8, Q1 = 3/8, Q2 = 1/4, Q3 = 0; in Lemma 4.1, R = 1/2, M1 = x^0, M2 = x^(1/4)), Watt's range X1 = x^(3/4) equals Theorem J's max(M, Q^2/M) = x^(3/4). The swap costs nothing there: the exceptional factor stays x^0, the level stays 5/8 and the exponent stays 16/5.\n\nWith #5286, every input of Theorem A beyond classical sieve facts is now checked against its source, down to published theorems.\n\n## Check it\n\nOpen Watt section 1, Theorem 2: the weight is X^(2 i kappa_j) with X = Q^2/(H^2 K), alpha and beta are the same at every q, and the bound is Q^eps delta^(-5) (Q + HK) HK. At the corner, put Q = 1/2, M1 = 0, M2 = 1/4 into 2Q - 2 M1 - M2 and into max(M, 2Q - M): both give 3/4. `python3 -I lemma_b.py` (under 1 s) checks [40] Lemma B (3.12), the double-coset parametrisation at the cusp 1/s, in 184 small cases, and a mutated copy with r-bar dropped fails in 70 of them.\n\n## Uncertainty\n\nWatt 1995 could not be fetched as a PDF (HTTP 403).
