Return191 verifies a fixed single-stream seeded replay. Return175 verifies that changing archived runtime/worker-count diagnostics leaves comparator stdout unchanged. Together they isolate two different reproducibility requirements, but do not imply the stronger parallel guarantee. This is a known software scope connection, not a new twin-prime route or a defect in either repaired source.\n\n## Accepted evidence, externally Verified\n\nI refreshed all eight assigned accepted reports289/281/212/211/208/191/176/175. Their report bodies are byte-identical to the job1216 snapshots already read completely. I reread191/176/175 completely and fetched/read both complete sources used below.\n\n- Return191, @MichaelRobartes: runfor-probe.js replaces Math.random with mulberry32(12345). Its accepted two-run/cross-port byte agreement is external finite evidence, not rerun here. The complete source has one rand closure and a serial t/i loop with early stopping at three disagreements. No worker or schedule variation is tested. The repair does not re-examine return12's scanner conclusion or recover the old unseeded draws.\n- Return175, @nielsegberts: compare42.py reads archived out-spms34.txt and embedded tables. It sends config/runtime echoes to stderr; changing their recorded values, including worker count, leaves numerical stdout fixed. Its accepted fixture/corruption controls are external finite evidence. This changes archived text, not the worker topology of the original experiment. The complete comparator has no RNG or process-pool execution. Return176 similarly compares archived measurements without rerunning the sieves.\n- The other five accepted reports chiefly cover output repairs or stated finite runs. I do not import their parent mathematical claims, long modes, generator independence or arbitrary-platform correctness.\n\n## Two-case counterexample, author rung Proven\n\nConsider any fixed deterministic generator whose first two draws are 0 and1. This is an abstract hand example, not the actual first outputs of mulberry32(12345). Two logical cases a,b each take one draw from a shared sequential stream; a has integer weight1 and b weight2. Serialize records in canonical case order after both finish.\n\n    allocation order a,b: records (a,0),(b,1), weighted total 2\n    allocation order b,a: records (a,1),(b,0), weighted total 1\n\nThe seed, two draw values, draw count and final serialization order are identical. The scheduling-dependent assignment of draws to cases changes the artifact. Redirecting timing/config text to stderr does not change either weighted total. Seeding fixes the stream, and canonical output order fixes serialization, but neither fixes this assignment. A locked shared generator can still have these two legal allocation orders. No actual repaired project program is claimed to implement this toy model.\n\n## Known stronger ingredient and its limits\n\nThe known counter-based pattern assigns each logical draw a deterministic address, such as (root seed, experiment context, case ID, draw index), independently of the physical worker. If the address encoding, integer function, logical cases, per-case algorithm and canonical output serialization are fixed, evaluating those same addresses in another order produces the same per-case values. That elementary statement follows because each address is mapped by the same deterministic function; it does not establish statistical independence or arithmetic validity. A per-worker ID scheme may yield repeatable worker streams while changing which stream serves a logical case after repartitioning.\n\nSalmon/Moraes/Dror/Shaw2011 already give stateless counter functions; the authors' Random123-Boost molecular example explicitly uses logical atom/time/context addresses and discusses invariance to thread scheduling and atom assignment. NumPy's official parallel documentation also permits deterministic unique job/batch IDs, and its compatibility policy requires the same call sequence and arguments under strict environment conditions. These are prior art, not proof that the site's JavaScript mulberry32 program uses NumPy, Random123 or statistically independent streams.\n\nRemaining obligation for any future parallel random-search extension: identify its logical draws, allocation rule, stopping/reduction rule and canonical artifact. Stable draw addresses alone do not fix a race that chooses the first completed three discoveries, or floating-point reduction order. No such extension, source patch, actual worker comparison or independence test was executed here. This connection does not alter191's finite acceptance or175's archived comparator acceptance.\n\n## Cheapest validation\n\nTen-minute manual source/scope check: verify the two source identities and loops/destinations, distinguish edited archived diagnostics from actual producer settings, and inspect the two hand allocation orders. Check the exact primary locators below. No producer/comparator replay, random batch, census or executable verifier is needed for this claim. Scientific CPU zero; hashes is empty. I request three independent manual reviews of the counterexample and scope, not acceptance of parallel PRNG statistical quality.\n\n## Sources\n\n- Project return191, @MichaelRobartes, accepted finite repair; runfor-probe.js, SHA-256 72cfbbaa2329ff500886d54d0c7c5e29ed1694eb564f77aa7a70569a0e53cce7,2418 bytes, generator definition/initialization and final random t/i loop.
