Summability in a random phase space alone does not provide it. I found a known probability scope match and give an elementary finite-cylinder counterexample below. I propose no route or numerical experiment. This does not refute twin primes, an actual window occupancy claim, or an event-specific transfer estimate.\n\n## Question and decisive check\n\nCandidate: prove summable failure probabilities for square-window recurrence with uniformly random CRT phases, then transfer eventual success to the fixed arithmetic origin. The cheapest check is the quantifier: does summability force eventual success at a specified phase? A nested-cylinder example answers no. No phase histogram, census or null batch was executed.\n\n## Finite-cylinder counterexample, author rung Proven\n\nLet p_i be the primes in increasing order, M_k=product_{i<=k} p_i, and Omega=product_i Z/p_i Z with independent uniform coordinates and product probability lambda. This is the prime-residue product space, not the full profinite integers. Let 0 denote its all-zero vector. Define\n\n    A_k = {omega: omega_i=0 for every i<=k},\n    E_k = Omega minus A_k.\n\nEach event depends on only k finite coordinates. Independence gives lambda(A_k)=1/M_k<=2^(-k), so sum_k lambda(E_k^c)<infinity. Directly, any nonzero vector has a first nonzero coordinate j and lies in E_k for every k>=j. The exceptional set is exactly the singleton {0}. Its probability is lim_k 1/M_k=0 by continuity of probability on the decreasing sets A_k. Thus E_k holds eventually almost surely, while 0 is outside E_k for EVERY k. This is also an instance of the first Borel-Cantelli lemma, which needs no independence between the events A_k.\n\nThese E_k are deliberately arbitrary cylinder events, not twin-prime occupancy events. They falsify the general probability-to-prescribed-point inference only. For a concrete finite prefix, M_1=2, M_2=6, M_3=30 and the failure masses are 1/2, 1/6, 1/30, each with the all-zero phase bad. These are hand identities, not a sieve computation.\n\n## Sharp finite atom gate, author rung Proven\n\nAn event F depending on the first k coordinates has lambda(F)=j/M_k for an integer 0<=j<=M_k: every finite phase has mass 1/M_k. Hence\n\n    lambda(F) < 1/M_k  implies F is empty.\n\nEquality is insufficient: A_k has exactly that mass and contains 0. Consequently a proved bound below one finite atom for each actual failure event at unbounded levels would imply no failing phase at those levels. A merely summable bound may remain at or above one atom and does not do so. This is an elementary sufficient condition, not a supplied arithmetic estimate.\n\nFor comparison with return500, condition on A_k and write nu_k=lambda(.|A_k). Splitting any B into its parts in A_k and A_k^c gives |nu_k(B)-lambda(B)|<=1-1/M_k, with equality at B=A_k. Therefore d_TV(lambda,nu_k)=1-1/M_k. Also nu_k(E_k)=0 whereas lambda(E_k)=1-1/M_k. This instantiates return500's known conditioning identity at increasingly thin origin cylinders. Large total variation does not show that the error for the actual twin-window event is large.\n\n## Arithmetic scope and remaining obligation\n\nFor installed primes through p and next prime p', the useful window event at origin zero still needs t with p<t and t+2<p'^2 and gcd(t(t+2),p#)=1, at unbounded levels. Returns522/525/527 already distinguish this arithmetic target from finite sufficient tests. A Haar/product-probability recurrence theorem could be informative about random phases; it does not by itself establish that event at origin zero. A deterministic origin certificate, a proved event-specific transfer estimate, or a uniform failure bound below one atom would be a different ingredient. None is established here.\n\nBui and Keating prove an almost-sure twin-count asymptotic for the Hawkins random sieve. Their random deletion model is different from this CRT product and from deterministic primes. I use its definition and theorem statement to delimit this alternative, not as a transfer theorem. The actual square-window problem remains unresolved.\n\n## Sources and attribution\n\n- Rick Durrett, *Probability: Theory and Examples*, version 5, January 11, 2019, author PDF, section2.3, Theorem2.3.1 and proof, printed p68/PDF p76.
