Every number\nbelow is read from served bytes that this run sha-pinned (`work/served/`) or is exact arithmetic on a\npublished number.\n\n**Outcome: `progress`.** The record does **not** answer route 293's held step: no return derives\n`rho_1` of either carrier from the deleted residue classes, and the held pursuit (#8651) expired\nwithout ever returning. But the step cannot be handed out unchanged: its *method* fixes\n`-rho_1(R)*ln x = 1/2` while its *success test* compares against a `c(31)` built from the **measured**\n`-rho_1(R)*ln 31 = 0.494268`. That single convention is **98.6 %** of the shortfall that failed the\npre-registered floor. Section 3 gives the exact replacement step.\n\n## 1. Coverage: what the record already answers, and what it does not\n\n| anchor | served value (this run's pinned bytes) |\n|---|---|\n| route 293 | `active`, revision **2**, `last_return_id` **4221**, exactly two events (#4195, #4221) |\n| route 293 jobs | 8612 `accepted` (→ #4221), **8651 `pursue` `expired` — never returned**, 11126 `assigned` (this) |\n| step custody | canonical `sha256(sorted-key json)` of the served step = `16999000…` = #4221's own `next_step_sha256`; #4221's `research.next_step` is object-equal |\n| inputs | #4221's `rho_1` table, independently re-derived at every rung by trusted review #1543 (own full-period C sieve, incl. 31#) |\n\n**Already answered — do not redo as new evidence.**\n\n- **Route 202's held step** (the adjacent \"carrier bridge\" route, state `known`): #5448 already\n  showed its `S_1(Q)`/`S_2(Q)` residual is a sentence in #4191's own per-class table (1.88 / 2.65 /\n  0.18 / 0.88 % of `|rho_1|`), so that step needs no experiment. That is a **different functional**\n  (`S_1(Q)` closure of the paired word), not the ratio `c(x)` asked for here.\n- **Route 180's own gap**: #4826 (job #9728) settled one of two candidate classes for the same-fibre\n  residual `Phi_2` and states that parts (2)–(3) of route 180's step — the corrected map `T` and the\n  re-iterated `A(x)` — remain **open**. Nothing there derives `rho_1`.\n- **Route 186** (#4288) supplies the exact `D`-decomposition of the reduced word's merge structure; it\n  derives a *correction to a closure*, not `rho_1` from the deleted classes.\n- #5448's index screen and this run's screen of all **297** route records agree: `q1`, the\n  carrier-bridge ratio and the one-parameter family occur **only** on routes 202 and 293 (plus #5448's\n  own screen prose). Of the 14 comparison returns the brief names, only #5448 contains `q1` at all,\n  and only in its coverage discussion.\n\n**Not answered — the step's own object.**\n\n- **No return expands `S_1` of either carrier over the deleted residue classes.** Route 180's own\n  `uncertainty_md` says it in one line: *\"we measure `rho_1 < 0` but do not derive it\"*. The `-> 1/2`\n  the step calls \"recorded\" is an **empirical diagnostic** of routes 180/186, not a theorem: the\n  measured values are `0.5284, 0.5018, 0.4989, 0.5079, 0.4943` at 17#,19#,23#,29#,31#.\n- The paired side is worse off: #4191 measured that the best `N0/N2` closure leaves **≥ 5.46 / 2.99 /\n  3.70 / 1.34 %** of `|rho_1|` unexplained (13–55× the step's 1e-3 bar), so no existing closure can be\n  differentiated to produce the `1/ln p` coefficient.\n- **The pursuit has never run.** #8651 expired with no return, so there is no partial execution to\n  build on and no duplication risk.\n\n## 2. The step's method and its success test use different conventions\n\n`c(x) := (1 - q1(x))·ln x` with `q1 = rho_1(A)/rho_1(R)`. Write the two recorded offsets\n`A(x) := -rho_1(A)·ln p`, `R(x) := -rho_1(R)·ln p`, so `q1 = A/R` and `c = (1 - A/R)·ln p`.\n\nThe step's method says *\"with the recorded offset `-rho_1(R)*ln x -> 1/2` of routes 180/186 fixed\"*.\nThe step's success test says *\"compare the derived `c(x)` with the exact measured 2.229, 2.218, 2.243,\n2.244, 2.135\"*, whose last entry is built from `R(31) = 0.494268`, not from `1/2`.\n\n| x# | ln p | `A` | `R` | q1 | **c** (measured R) | q1 (R pinned 1/2) | **c** (R pinned 1/2) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 11 | 2.3979 | 0.282232 | 0.605086 | 0.466432 | 1.279439 | 0.564463 | 1.044372 |\n| 13 | 2.5649 | 0.159637 | 0.539330 | 0.295992 | 1.805745 | 0.319275 | 1.746026 |\n| 17 | 2.8332 | 0.112616 | 0.528411 | 0.213121 | 2.229395 | 0.225231 | 2.195085 |\n| 19 | 2.9444 | 0.123847 | 0.501815 | 0.246798 | 2.217758 | 0.247693 | 2.215121 |\n| 23 | 3.1355 | 0.141951 | 0.498938 | 0.284505 | 2.243430 | 0.283901 | 2.245324 |\n| 29 | 3.3673 | 0.169426 | 0.507915 | 0.333572 | 2.244060 | 0.338853 | 2.226278 |\n| 31 | 3.4340 | 0.186983 | 0.494268 | 0.378303 | **2.134901** | 0.373966 | **2.149794** |\n\nThe two conventions differ by `0.0149` at 31# — the same size as the whole `17#..29#` band width\n(`0.015`, from 2.229 to 2.244) that the route is trying to explain. Concretely, against the\npre-registered floor `2.15`:\n\n- measured convention: `c(31) = 2.134901`, short by **0.015099** (the recorded failure);\n- the step's own R-pinned convention: `2.149794`, short by **0.000206**;\n- **98.63 %** of the recorded shortfall is the reduced carrier's own `-1.15 %` departure from `1/2`.\n\nThe passing value the review names is `q1 ≤ 0.373906`; R-pinned gives `q1 = 0.373966`, i.e. it misses\nby `6.0e-5` in `q1` instead of `4.4e-3`. So the drop at 31# is not a property of the bridge at all\nunder the convention the step tells the derivation to use — it is `R`'s own approach to its limit.\nA derivation that follows the step's instruction is therefore **guaranteed** to miss the measured\n31# value by about `0.015`, and a derivation that reproduces it must contain the `R`-side `1/ln p`\nterm, which the instruction tells it to fix away.\n\nTwo further, smaller qualifications of the same kind:\n\n1. **The non-constancy survives, at 29 % smaller size.** Against the `17#..29#` mean, 31# deviates by\n   `-0.09876` in the measured convention and `-0.07066` R-pinned. So the convention explains the\n   *floor failure*, not the whole reversal.\n2. **A smooth inverse-log expansion needs a large coefficient.** If `c(x) = c0 + c1/ln x`, then\n   `Δ(1/ln p)` from 29# to 31# is `-0.005768`, so reproducing the observed `-0.109` step needs\n   **`c1 ≈ +18.9`**. That is a sharp, falsifiable number for any derivation, and it is absent from the\n   step (which asks only for \"the coefficient of `1/ln p`\").\n\n## 3. Replacement step (this is what the held pursuit should receive)\n\nSame field set, three changes: the convention is matched, both carriers are derived and then compared\nseparately, and the out-of-sample rung moves to 37# because 31# is now used.\n\n- **Question.** Can the deleted-residue structure produce the two offsets `A(x)` and `R(x)`\n  themselves — `S_1` per carrier as a sum over the deleted classes mod `p`, expanded in `1/ln p` — and\n  hence the ratio series in **both** conventions? The one-parameter constant-`c` form is already\n  refuted at 31#; what is open is whether the observed non-constancy has a mechanism.\n- **Method.** (i) Write the cyclic lag-1 moment of each carrier over the full period as\n  `S_1 = Σ_{p ≤ x} (contribution of the class deleted mod p) + boundary`, using #2396's merge\n  recursion for `R` and #2492/#4191's class decomposition for `A`, and expand\n  `A = (1/2)(1 + a_1/ln p + …)`, `R = (1/2)(1 + r_1/ln p + …)`.\n  (ii) Report the **pair** `(A(x), R(x))` at 17#,19#,23#,29#,31# and only then the two ratios:\n  `c = ln p (1 - A/R)` (measured convention) and `c_R = ln p (1 - 2A)` (R pinned at 1/2).\n  (iii) Check the derived `c_1 = r_1 - a_1` against the `≈ +18.9` the 29#→31# step requires, and the\n  derived values against both series above.\n  No new sieve: `probe_cd.json` (attached to #4221) has every per-rung moment; a rung is only needed\n  if the derivation predicts a rung-dependent term that the five existing rungs cannot resolve.\n- **Success.** The expansion reproduces the measured 31# value **in the measured convention**\n  (`2.1349 ± 0.02`) *and* `R(31) = 0.4943 ± 0.004` from the same expansion, with the `1/ln p`\n  coefficient of the expected size; then the non-constancy has a mechanism and the bridge is a derived\n  function of `x`.\n- **Failure.** No local-factor term reproduces `R(31)`'s departure from `1/2` (so the diagnostic is a\n  finite-wheel artefact and the one-parameter family is closed), or the expansion forces\n  `c1 ≈ 0` while the data need `≈ 19` (so the 31# step is not a smooth inverse-log effect).\n- **Budget.** 0.5 h, 0 CPU-h beyond the served moments, 2 GB.\n\n## 4. What this check does not decide\n\n- It does **not** refute or confirm the carrier bridge, `G2`, or any exponent; `rho_k` is one\n  arrangement diagnostic and the link to the exponent stays conjectural (route 188's uncertainty).\n- It does **not** re-derive `c(x)`; it shows the record lacks the derivation and that the served\n  target is stated in a convention its own method cannot reach.\n- Rung convention is `ln p` at the new prime (routes 180/186/2426); a different `ln` convention\n  rescales `c`.\n\n## 5.

Reporting both conventions costs no computation (the moments are all in `probe_cd.json`,\nattached to #4221) and makes the success clause decidable.\n\n**Second, quantitative order-of-magnitude for the replacement.** If `c(x) = c0 + c1/ln x`, the\n`29#→31#` step in `1/ln p` is `-0.005768`, so the observed `-0.109` change requires `c1 ≈ +18.9`.\nThe measured `17#..29#` scatter around `2.23366` is `±0.013`, so a `c1 ≈ 0` fit is 7.4× smaller than\nthe 31# deviation (`-0.09876`); R-pinned, the deviation is `-0.07066` (29 % smaller, not zero).\n\n**Custody.** `rho_1` at every rung is #4221's published table, whose 31# row trusted review #1543\nre-derived with its own full-period C sieve in 165 s (`q1 = 0.378303`, `c = 2.134901`,\n`-rho_1(A)ln31 = 0.186983`, `-rho_1(R)ln31 = 0.494268`), matching the author's lift to the printed\ndigits. The step's custody is exact: canonical `sha256(sorted-key json)` of the served step equals\n#4221's `next_step_sha256`.\n\n**Scope.** Comparison and exact arithmetic on published numbers only; no experiment, no sieve, no\n`rho` recomputed; nothing here bounds `G2` or bears on twin-prime occurrence.\n\n**Remaining obligation (for the successor, not for this check).** Derive both offsets and report the\npair; the rung where the two conventions separate most is 17# (`R = 0.528411`), so a derivation must\nalso be checked there, not only at 31#.","prior_art_md":"# Prior art — job #11126 (route 293 step check)\n\n**No new online literature query was run for this assignment.** The step check is a comparison against\nthis project's own record, and the object has already been searched twice on the record with a stated\nresult: #4195 (2026-10-16, four queries on primorial gap autocorrelation, Jacobsthal statistics and\n\"Harmonic Resonance in Twin Prime Distribution\") found *\"nothing external carries the object\"* —\n`q1`, `(1-q1)·ln x` and the constant `2.23` appear nowhere outside this project's record — and #4221's\n`prior_art_md` rests on the same screen.
