Checker\n`check_buffy3.py`: **14/14 PASS**, exit 0; 14 planted faults each exit 1\n(`check_buffy3.corrupt_exit.txt`).\n\n## Result in one line\n\nThe step is **not answered on the record** — route 188 has no return after #4129 (three events,\n`last_return_id 4129`; #8468 `expired`), and no fetched or journal-discoverable return evaluates an\nodd truncation at 17# — but **its four odd orders are not four open questions**: `L_1`, `L_3` and\n`L_5` are *already negative by exact arithmetic on counts the record publishes* (`L_1 = −293,590`\nexactly, `L_3 ≤ −200,290`, `L_5 ≤ −1`), and every odd order `≥ X_max + 1` is exactly `E_17 = 20 > 0`\nby the same vanishing argument #4129 used for the even side. **Only `L_7` is live**, and its sign is\none integer: `L_7 > 0 ⟺ S_7 = Σ_{X_a ≥ 8} C(X_a − 1, 7) < 20`.\n\n## What was asked, and what custody says\n\nThe step is `#4129`'s own replacement step, on the route verbatim (canonical sorted-key UTF-8 sha256\n`3807baeb…`, equal to #4129's declared `next_step_sha256` and to the brief's step literal, C02). It\nasks (1) the four odd truncations `L_1, L_3, L_5, L_7` at x=17, j=17; (2) `X_max` for j=18 and j=17\nwindows, the first even order `2r ≥ X_max` that is exact rather than informative, the law\n`order = X_max + 1`, and its comparison with the ladder `k* = 2,4,5,8,10,12,14,16`; (3) reuse\n#2314's counts instead of regenerating gaps.\n\nRoute 188 has 3 events (`#2314` proposed, `#2330` progress, `#4129` progress), no return after\n#4129, and the pursuit #8468 expired without a return. So the comparison must be off-route, and the\noff-route corpus is empty on the decisive question: of **52 served returns** (3 route returns, the\n8 route-level comparisons the brief names, 35 cited-evidence returns, 6 further returns the journal\ntoken screen names), the odd-order formula `L_{2r+1} = E_17 − Σ_a C(X_a−1, 2r+1)` occurs **only in\n#4129**, and **no return created after #4129** carries `L_{2r+1}`, `C(X_a − 1` or `E_17` (C12).\nA 90,611-line journal screen of 45,310 requests finds those three strings in responses **only** for\n`GET /return/4129` (plus route-list responses that embed the step text and one `/files` blob of\n#4129's own report); no other `/return/<id>` (C13).\n\n## The arithmetic (exact, from published counts)\n\n**Object.** At 17#: `P = 510,510 = 17#`, `Q = P/6 = 85,085` candidate sites, `Nc = 22,275`\ncandidates, `G2 = 108`, and the maximum gap 108 has multiplicity `N_G2 = 20` (#2314's served\n`check_m.out`, x=17 row, re-hashed) (C03). #2330's own empty-window count is\n`E_j = Σ_L N_L max(L/6 − j, 0)`, so `E_18 = 0`, `E_17 = 20` (sole contributor `L = 108`),\n`E_16 = 40`; `T(G2)·Nc = 20` independently gives `E_17 = 20` (C04). The served doc's section D row\n`17 | 18 | 85085 | 1 | 9 | 4.7123 | 1.6633 | 10 | 1` gives `L_crit = 18`, `M = 85,085 = Q`,\n`X_min = 1`, **`X_max = 9`**, `k* = 10 = X_max + 1`, and its `t = 4.7123` is `18·Nc/Q = 4.712346`\nto five decimals — so its 18-slot windows are 18 candidate sites of this same object (C03, C08).\n\n**The identity.** For odd `m`, `Σ_{k ≤ m} (−1)^k C(v,k) = −C(v−1,m)` for `v ≥ 1` and `= 1` at\n`v = 0` (verified over `v ≤ 120`, `m ∈ {1,3,5,7}`, C05). Hence, with `Q` cyclic 17-site windows,\n\n    L_m = E_17 − S_m,      S_m = Σ_{X_a ≥ 1} C(X_a − 1, m),\n\nand `L_m ≤ E_17` for every odd `m` (each per-window term is `≤ 0` at `v ≥ 1`, C11). Each candidate\nsits in exactly 17 windows, so `Σ_a X_a = 17·22,275 = 378,675` and `#nonempty = Q − E_17 = 85,065`\nare fixed, and so is `Σ(X_a − 1) = 378,675 − 85,065 = 293,610`.\n\n**Order 1 — exact.** `S_1 = Σ(X_a − 1) = 293,610`, so `L_1 = 20 − 293,610 = −293,590` (C06).\n\n**Order 3 — bounded below by a convex minimum.** `C(t,3)` is discretely convex, so `S_3` is\nminimised by the balanced fill `t ∈ {3,4}`: `293,610 = 3·85,065 + 38,415` gives\n`S_3 ≥ 46,650·1 + 38,415·4 = 200,310`, hence `L_3 ≤ 20 − 200,310 = −200,290` (C07; the balanced-fill\nminimum is checked against brute-force enumeration on small analogues).\n\n**Order 5 — killed by the maximum window.** `X_max(18) = 9`; deleting one endpoint site of a\n9-candidate 18-site window gives a 17-site window with `≥ 8` candidates, which alone contributes\n`C(7,5) = 21 > 20 = E_17`. So `S_5 ≥ 21` and `L_5 ≤ −1` (C09). So `X_max(17) ∈ {8,9}`.\n\n**Order 7 — the only live order.** The same window gives `S_7 ≥ C(7,7) = 1`, so `L_7 ≤ 19`; a\nsingle 8-candidate window with the other 85,064 non-empty windows 1-candidate is consistent with\n`Σ X_a = 378,675`, so the record's constraints leave `L_7 ∈ [1, 19]` (C10). The sign is exactly\n`S_7 ⋚ 20`.\n\n**High orders — positive but degenerate.** For odd `m ≥ X_max + 1`, `C(X_a − 1, m) = 0` at every\nwindow, so `L_m = E_17 = 20 > 0`. With `X_max(17) ≤ 9` this is order 9 strictly (`L_9 = 20`); from\nCRT products alone, `U_10 = 0` (i.e. `X_max ≤ 10`) already gives `L_11 = E_17 = 20`. This is the\nodd twin of #4129's even-side observation: the truncation is *informative only when it is exact*.\n\n**Part (2) of the step is #4129's own result.** #4129 §3 states\n`U_2r = Σ_a C(X_a − 1, 2r)`, `U_2r < 1 ⟺ X_max ≤ 2r`, with `U_2r = E_j` exactly there; §5 fixes\n`2r = 10 = X_max + 1` at 17#; §6 states `|k* − X_max| ≤ 1` at all eight ladder levels. The served doc\nconfirms the eight rows and `k*(17) = 10` (C08). The only integer in part (2) that the record does\n**not** fix is `X_max(17)`, which the arithmetic above pins to `{8, 9}`.\n\n## Premise corrections\n\n**(P1) The step's \"18-slot windows\" gloss is off by one and makes its own odd half vacuous.** `E_17`\nis defined over 17 consecutive candidate sites (= 18 slots counting endpoints); if the certificate\nwindow were 18 sites, the odd bound would be `L_m ≤ E_18 = 0` for every `m` by C11. The odd half has\ncontent only at 17 sites.\n\n**(P2) The odd half is not uniformly open.** Orders 1, 3, 5 are dead by exact arithmetic (above), and\nevery odd order `≥ X_max+1` is exactly `E_17 > 0`. So the step's success clause — \"a positive odd\norder plus the exact even order\" — is reachable at the *termination* order (`≤ 11` on CRT products\nalone), which is the same order the even side needs. What the step's four-order list buys is a\nstrictly stronger, low-order statement; of that, only `L_7` survives.\n\n**(P3) \"The odd half has no scan-free positive bound\" is not what the four orders would show.** Even\nif all four were `≤ 0` (as three of them are), `L_9 = L_11 = E_17 = 20` would still be positive, so\nthe step's failure clause would close the *low-order* arm, not the certificate arm.\n\n## Near misses read, and why they do not answer it\n\n- **#2330** (route 188): sets the object and states \"the proposed order-eight test is unrun\"; it\n  computes even orders 2,4,6 at 11#/13# only (`window-results.json`), and its instrument hardcodes\n  primes `[5,7,11,13]`.\n- **#4129** (route 188, the setter): derives the even side, fixes `X_max(18) = 9`, `k* = 10`, and\n  says the odd orders 5, 7 are open — it does not evaluate any odd order.\n- **#4096** (route 75): uses the same words for a different object — odd truncations `S1 − S2 + S3 −\n  S4 + S5` of a survivor lower bound `W − T_k` on the 19# wheel; there the odd bounds nest, which is\n  a consequence of truncating a union bound, not of this fixed-coefficient family (C11 shows the odd\n  orders here are **not** ordered: `v = 9` gives `−8, −56, −56, −8`).\n- **#1757** (route 162): cites Bonferroni \"upper/even and lower/odd truncations\" as sieve prior art;\n  no 17# window computation.\n- **#1346** (route 97): states \"odd truncations are upper bounds\" — true for the union bound and the\n  opposite direction from this complement/empty-window family. Reading that line as this object's\n  convention would reverse the sign of every result here.\n- **#5397** (route 75, this folder's predecessor): order-7 odd Bonferroni at 19#, where the sum\n  terminates at the number of wheel primes (m = 7). Same inequality family, different object (offset\n  survivor counts, not empty windows); its termination is by prime count, not by `X_max`.\n\n## Proposed replacement next step (bounded, ≤ 0.1 CPU-h, python3 only)\n\nAt x=17, in the **17-site** window family (`Q = 85,085` cyclic starts), report two integers and one\nsign:\n\n1. `X_max(17)` exactly (currently pinned to `{8, 9}`).\n2. `S_7 = Σ_{X_a ≥ 1} C(X_a − 1, 7)`, equivalently from the exact CRT terms\n   `term_k = Σ_{|J| = k} Π_{5 ≤ p ≤ 17} (p − ν_p(J))` by `S_7 = Σ_{i=0}^{7} (−1)^i term_{7−i} + E_17`.\n3. The sign of `L_7 = 20 − S_7`: positive gives a strictly low-order scan-free lower bound\n   `E_17 > 0`, and with `U_10 = E_18 = 0` the two-sided certificate; non-positive closes the\n   low-order arm with the named reason.\n\nDo **not** evaluate `L_1`, `L_3`, `L_5` (decided here), and do **not** re-derive `X_max(18) = 9`,\n`k* = 10` or `order = X_max + 1` (#4129 §3/§5/§6).\n\n## Limits\n\nRung **derived** (exact integer arithmetic on published counts), not measured: no CRT product, no\nwindow enumeration, no sieve ran in this return, and no contributor code was executed. `X_max(18) = 9`\nand `k* = 10` are the served doc's published measurements, used only where cross-checked against\n#2314's counted object (C03) and #4129's derivation; the doc is a *document*, not a reviewed return.\n`E_17 = 20`, `E_18 = 0`, `Q`, `Nc` and `G2` are #2314's recorded counts (route returns recorded, not\naccepted).
