None of the newer returns carries any object pair an answer\nwould need: (`lam1`, `max_t`), (`lam1`, band increment), (`lam1`, `L^{2/5}`), (`dilation`,\n`Harper`), (`dilation`, `1208.5992`).\n\nTwo spurious hits were run down rather than left as hits:\n\n- **#5140** matched \"#1745 + Harper\" because its report *types* six register rows of route 223,\n  one of them \"the job-1745 small-factor transfer\". It contains no `lam1` and no `dilation`.\n- **#4763** (route 185) has an `(H_w)`, but there it is a divisor-family **prefix constant**\n  typed `S` via #1983/#2509 — a homonym, not route 273's band-increment hypothesis.\n\n## Nearest neighbours, mapped to the step's assumptions\n\n- **#5295 (route 236)** — exact smooth-number asymptotic and the Rankin interface `U0(delta)`:\n  the same *smooth numbers*, but a uniform **upper-bound interface**, not a weighted variance over\n  progressions. No weight, no modulus, no `t`-quantifier.\n- **#5079 (route 111)** — a step check of a **divisor-restricted BFI II** band lemma at\n  logarithmic width: a band, but unweighted and divisor-restricted, and its own step stays open.\n- **#4817 (route 45)** — its title says \"a weight-based convolution transfer\", but the object is\n  the fixed-shift product census and the return is a window-conditioned small-part model at\n  k = 12..17.\n- **#4824 (route 230)** — cites Harper arXiv:1208.5992v1 only as an **uninspected premise** of\n  #1983/#1973 in a normalization audit; it neither reads nor transfers Thm 2.\n- **#5402/#5368/#5309/#5269/#5221/#4188** and #4749/#4883/#4221/#4959/#5414 — pursuits, step\n  checks, registers and censuses on other objects (routes 97, 171, 169, 151, 170, 264, 42, 293,\n  251, 179). No step token pair.\n\n## Why one bounded pursuit is still justified\n\nThe measurement arm is cheap and inside this session's share (the step asks 2 CPU-h, 8 GB,\n1 GB disk; this machine offers 75% of its cores, <= 16 GB, 5 GB disk). #4161's endpoint decay with\n`l1/noise < 1` says the statistic is noise-limited at the endpoint; what is unmeasured is the\nfactor a **running maximum** adds inside the band, and whether the `d`-sum keeps its constant from\nX = 1e6 to 1e8. That is a measured question with the step's own pre-registered failure clause.\n\nThe hard arm is the transfer, and its weakest link is quantifier conversion: an L^2 statement must\ngive L^1-in-`a` **and** the max over `t`; Cauchy-Schwarz costs `phi(d)^{1/2}`, which the\nobligation's normalization does not obviously absorb, and Harper Thm 2 has no `max` over `x'`, so\na dyadic subdivision + Rademacher-Menshov costs `log^2`. Pricing exactly that cost is the step's\nown instruction (2), and nothing on record does it.\n\n## Verdict\n\n**`promising`**, step copied exactly (canonical sha256 `1b655f03…`). `research.depends_on` is\nsupplied as the route's **existing** list `[3642, 3658, 3700]`, unchanged: this comparison found\nno answering return, so it adds no dependency link (the setter #4161 is already recorded as the\ntask predecessor). One line for my person: **6 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict**;\nnothing for them to do.\n\n## Not claimed\n\nThat the step is wrong, unexecutable or duplicated; any `(H_w^Delta)` value; any `max_t`\nmeasurement; any Vaughan statement or page locator; any exponent; anything about `lim Var/E`,\n`G2`, `beta_2`, `K*`, or twin primes. **Coverage limit:** the screen is the served route index\n(all 294 routes, three pages) plus 25 returns, not a server-wide enumeration of every return\nbetween #4161 and now; a return absent from every route `contribution_md` and not named by the\nbrief would have been missed.

Route #273's next experiment was set by return #4161, and returns were recorded after it on this route or a route linked to it by citations, dependencies or shared premises. Before a pursuit is spent on it, decide whether the returns already on record answer it. Read and compare; do not run the experiment and do not reproduce a computation a return already made. An unchanged-step comparison on another route is not new evidence.\n\nThe step:\n{\"method\":\"1. Measurement. Sieve lam1, lam0 and y-friable lam1 (u = 1.25, 1.5, 2) to X = 1e8 (segmented). For every d <= X^{alpha} with alpha in {0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 2/3}, and every band [E,2E] with E >= d^{1+eps}, compute the FULL quantity sum_{d<=Q} sum_a max_t |increment|^2. The max over t in [E,2E] is a running max inside the band (not endpoints only, which is all #8377 measured). Then:\\n- Compare it with the cumulative form (expected to fail through D(a,d)) and with the unweighted friable count rescaled by 1/e, i.e. Harper's object.\\n- Report the ratio max_t / endpoint.\\n- Report the averaged register sum_d lam0(d)|E_d^{(M)}| on the actual cell band (L^{1-eta}/d, 2L/d], d <= L^{2/5}.\\n2. Proof. Write out the job #1745 dilation transfer for increments. Use g = 1*h and squarefree via b^2 dilations, applied to Harper Thm 2 per dilation m <= M_0, with the tail controlled by sum h(m)/sqrt m. Extend it from Q <= X^{1/8} to Q <= L^{2/5} and state exactly where the max over x' inside Harper's theorem is needed (Harper has none: say whether a dyadic-subdivision / Rademacher-Menshov loss of log^2 suffices). For lam0 (g(p) = 2p/(p-4)), give the replacement convolution or the failing step.\\n3.
