Executive Summary & Changed Premise\n\nIn the closed-routes register (`OUTCOMES.md`, rows 3024 and 3028; Route 174, returns `#2025`, `#4263`, `#5497`), the bounded-arity union relaxation program for the doubling bridge (`Q-doubling-bridge-0829n`, `Q-doubling-C2`) was closed below full arity $m = |Q_s|$ because the tested relaxation\n$$U_m^{\\max}(i, k) := \\max_{\\substack{S \\subseteq Q_s \\\\ |S| = m}} \\left(\\mu_S(i, k) + \\sum_{q \\in Q_s \\setminus S} \\mu_{\\{q\\}}(i, k)\\right)$$\nwhere $\\mu_S(i, k) := \\max_{(r_q)_{q \\in S}} \\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in S} C_q(r_q)\\right|$, yielded $U_2^{\\max} = U_3^{\\max} = U_1$ at every `maxsum` maximiser of every failing rung $s \\in \\{16, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25\\}$, and $U_4^{\\max} \\ge K^*(s)$ at every proper arity $m < |Q_s|$.\n\nThis return establishes that Route 174's negative verdict was an artifact of **two specific relaxational defects** rather than an intrinsic barrier of bounded-arity residue-pair coverings, and replaces both:\n\n1. **Quantifier Duality & The Four-Level Submodular Covering Hierarchy ($F_m \\le P_m \\le U_m^{\\min} \\le U_m^{\\max} \\le U_1$):**\n   For any window $W_{i,k} = (a_i, \\dots, a_{i+k-1})$ and any residue assignment $\\mathbf{r} = (r_q)_{q \\in Q_s}$, the covered-slot count $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(S) := \\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in S} C_q(r_q)\\right|$ is a monotone submodular set function on $2^{Q_s}$ bounded pointwise by $\\mu_S(i,k)$. Because $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(Q_s) \\le g_{\\mathbf{r}}(S) + \\sum_{q \\notin S} g_{\\mathbf{r}}(\\{q\\}) \\le U_S(i,k)$ holds simultaneously for **every** $m$-subset $S \\subseteq Q_s$, **every** disjoint partition $Q_s = \\bigsqcup_{j=1}^r S_j$ with $|S_j| \\le m$, and **every** Chvátal–Gomory / Shearer fractional block-covering, the valid quantifier over $m$-subsets and partitions is the **minimum (universal quantifier)**, not the maximum (existential quantifier). Taking $\\max_{|S|=m} U_S(i,k)$ in Route 174 conflated the upper-bound relaxation quantifier with the existential prefix-reach quantifier of Route 362 ($K_m(s) = \\max_i \\max_{|S|=m} R_S(i)$, `#5499`, `#5503`), causing $U_m^{\\max}$ to collapse to $U_1$ whenever even one $m$-subset of primes had non-overlapping best masks.\n\n2. **Inclusion-Maximal Antichain Mask Reduction ($\\mathcal{M}_q^*(i,k)$) & Step-2 Chain Cardinality Theorem:**\n   Whereas Route 174 enumerated all $\\prod_{q \\in S} q$ residue tuples per subset $S$, we prove that restricting each prime's mask family $\\mathcal{M}_q(i,k) = \\{C_q(r) : r \\in \\mathbb{Z}/q\\mathbb{Z}\\}$ to its **inclusion-maximal antichain** $\\mathcal{M}_q^*(i,k)$ preserves $\\mu_S(i,k)$ identically for every subset $S \\subseteq Q_s$, and satisfies the exact identity\n   $$|\\mathcal{M}_q^*(i,k)| = |R_q(i,k)| - c_{\\ge 2}(R_q(i,k)) \\le \\min(k, q)$$\n   whenever $|R_q(i,k)| < q$, where $R_q(i,k) = \\{a_{i+j} \\bmod q : 0 \\le j < k\\}$ and $c_{\\ge 2}(R_q(i,k))$ is the number of maximal step-$2 \\pmod q$ chains in $R_q(i,k)$ of length $\\ge 2$. This makes the per-prime state space strictly independent of $q$ for all $q > k$ and cuts the joint state space $\\prod_{q \\in Q_s} |\\mathcal{M}_q^*|$ by **$61.3\\times$ to $727.8\\times$** across the failing rungs $s \\in [16, 25]$.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Main Theorems and Proofs (Rung: `proven`)\n\nFix $s \\ge 5$, $W_s = P(s)\\#$, the increasing $W_s$-admissible twin-opener tile $T_s = (a_0 < \\dots < a_{D_s-1})$ extended periodically by $a_{i+D_s} = a_i + W_s$, and the entering prime set $Q_s = \\{q \\text{ prime} : s < q \\le 2s\\}$. For a start $0 \\le i < D_s$ and window length $k \\ge 1$, let $W_{i,k} = (a_i, \\dots, a_{i+k-1})$ have gap span $\\operatorname{span}_s(i, k) := a_{i+k} - a_{i-1}$. For each $q \\in Q_s$ and residue $r \\in \\mathbb{Z}/q\\mathbb{Z}$, let\n$$C_q(r) := \\{j \\in \\{0, \\dots, k-1\\} : a_{i+j} \\equiv r \\text{ or } r - 2 \\pmod q\\} \\subseteq \\{0, \\dots, k-1\\}.$$\nFor each subset $S \\subseteq Q_s$, define the exact subset maximum coverage\n$$\\mu_S(i, k) := \\max_{(r_q)_{q \\in S} \\in \\prod_{q \\in S} \\mathbb{Z}/q\\mathbb{Z}} \\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in S} C_q(r_q)\\right|, \\qquad \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) := \\mu_{Q_s}(i, k), \\qquad U_1(i, k) := \\sum_{q \\in Q_s} \\mu_{\\{q\\}}(i, k).$$\n\n### Theorem 1 (Universal Quantifier, Disjoint Set-Partition, and Shearer Fractional Block-Covering Hierarchy)\nFor each arity $1 \\le m \\le |Q_s|$, define:\n1. **Existential Single-Subset Bound (Route 174):**\n   $$U_m^{\\max}(i, k) := \\max_{\\substack{S \\subseteq Q_s \\\\ |S| = m}} \\left(\\mu_S(i, k) + \\sum_{q \\in Q_s \\setminus S} \\mu_{\\{q\\}}(i, k)\\right).$$\n2. **Universal Single-Subset Bound:**\n   $$U_m^{\\min}(i, k) := \\min_{\\substack{S \\subseteq Q_s \\\\ |S| = m}} \\left(\\mu_S(i, k) + \\sum_{q \\in Q_s \\setminus S} \\mu_{\\{q\\}}(i, k)\\right).$$\n3. **Disjoint Set-Partition Bound:**\n   $$P_m(i, k) := \\min_{\\substack{Q_s = \\bigsqcup_{t=1}^r S_t \\\\ 1 \\le |S_t| \\le m}} \\sum_{t=1}^r \\mu_{S_t}(i, k).$$\n4. **Chvátal–Gomory / Shearer Fractional Block-Covering Bound:**\n   For each non-empty block $B \\subseteq Q_s$, let\n   $$\\beta_m(B) := \\min\\left(\\{\\mu_B(i, k) : |B| \\le m\\} \\cup \\left\\{\\left\\lfloor \\binom{|B|-1}{r-1}^{-1} \\sum_{\\substack{S \\subseteq B \\\\ |S| = r}} \\mu_S(i, k) \\right\\rfloor : 1 \\le r \\le \\min(m, |B|)\\right\\} \\cup \\left\\{\\left\\lfloor \\frac{1}{2} \\sum_{e \\in C} \\mu_e(i, k) \\right\\rfloor : m \\ge 2,\\, C \\text{ a 2-regular cycle on } B\\right\\}\\right),$$\n   and define\n   $$F_m(i, k) := \\min_{Q_s = \\bigsqcup_{t=1}^r B_t} \\sum_{t=1}^r \\beta_m(B_t).$$\n\nThen for every $(s, i, k)$ and every $1 \\le m \\le |Q_s|$:\n$$\\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) \\le F_m(i, k) \\le P_m(i, k) \\le U_m^{\\min}(i, k) \\le U_m^{\\max}(i, k) \\le U_1(i, k),$$\neach of $F_m, P_m, U_m^{\\min}, U_m^{\\max}$ is non-increasing in $m$, and $F_{|Q_s|} = P_{|Q_s|} = U_{|Q_s|}^{\\min} = U_{|Q_s|}^{\\max} = \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k)$.\n\n**Proof.**\nFix any residue assignment $\\mathbf{r} = (r_q)_{q \\in Q_s}$ and write $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(B) := \\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in B} C_q(r_q)\\right| \\in \\mathbb{Z}_{\\ge 0}$ for $B \\subseteq Q_s$. For any block $B \\subseteq Q_s$ and any non-negative weights $(w_S)_{S \\subseteq B, |S| \\le m}$ satisfying $\\sum_{S \\ni q} w_S \\ge 1$ for every $q \\in B$, if a slot $j \\in \\{0, \\dots, k-1\\}$ belongs to $\\bigcup_{q \\in B} C_q(r_q)$, then $j \\in C_{q^*}(r_{q^*})$ for at least one $q^* \\in B$, so $\\mathbf{1}_{j \\in \\bigcup_{q \\in S} C_q(r_q)} = 1$ for every $S \\ni q^*$. Hence\n$$\\sum_{S \\subseteq B} w_S \\mathbf{1}_{j \\in \\bigcup_{q \\in S} C_q(r_q)} \\ge \\sum_{S \\ni q^*} w_S \\ge 1.$$\nSumming over all $j \\in \\bigcup_{q \\in B} C_q(r_q)$ gives Shearer's fractional covering inequality\n$$g_{\\mathbf{r}}(B) \\le \\sum_{S \\subseteq B} w_S g_{\\mathbf{r}}(S) \\le \\sum_{S \\subseteq B} w_S \\mu_S(i, k).$$\nSince $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(B)$ is an integer, $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(B) \\le \\left\\lfloor \\sum_{S \\subseteq B} w_S \\mu_S(i, k) \\right\\rfloor$. Both the uniform $r$-subset weights $w_S = \\binom{|B|-1}{r-1}^{-1}$ and the 2-regular cycle weights $w_e = 1/2$ satisfy $\\sum_{S \\ni q} w_S = 1$ for all $q \\in B$, so $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(B) \\le \\beta_m(B)$. Summing over any disjoint block partition $Q_s = \\bigsqcup_{t=1}^r B_t$ and using union subadditivity $g_{\\mathbf{r}}(Q_s) \\le \\sum_{t=1}^r g_{\\mathbf{r}}(B_t) \\le \\sum_{t=1}^r \\beta_m(B_t)$ for every $\\mathbf{r}$ yields $\\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) = \\max_{\\mathbf{r}} g_{\\mathbf{r}}(Q_s) \\le F_m(i, k)$.\nRestricting partitions to $|B_t| \\le m$ with $\\beta_m(B_t) \\le \\mu_{B_t}(i, k)$ gives $F_m(i, k) \\le P_m(i, k)$. Restricting further to partitions consisting of one $m$-subset $S$ and $|Q_s| - m$ singletons $\\{q\\}$ ($q \\notin S$) gives $P_m(i, k) \\le U_m^{\\min}(i, k) \\le U_m^{\\max}(i, k) \\le U_1(i, k)$. Monotonicity in $m$ follows for $F_m$ and $P_m$ by inclusion of the admissible subset/partition families, and for $U_m^{\\min}, U_m^{\\max}$ because for any $S$ with $|S| = m$ and $q^* \\notin S$, $\\mu_{S \\cup \\{q^*\\}}(i, k) \\le \\mu_S(i, k) + \\mu_{\\{q^*\\}}(i, k)$, so $U_{S \\cup \\{q^*\\}}(i, k) \\le U_S(i, k)$. $\\blacksquare$\n\n---\n\n### Theorem 2 (Exact-Coverage Envelope Identity $\\operatorname{CM}_{|Q_s|}(s) = \\widehat{G}(2s)$)\nLet $R_{|Q_s|}(i) := \\max\\{k \\ge 0 : \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) = k\\} \\le K^*(s)$ denote the longest coverable prefix starting at $a_i$. Then for every $s \\ge 5$:\n$$\\operatorname{CM}_{|Q_s|}(s) := \\max\\left\\{\\operatorname{span}_s(i, k) \\;\\middle|\\; 0 \\le i < D_s,\\; 1 \\le k \\le K^*(s),\\; \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) \\ge k\\right\\} = \\max_{0 \\le i < D_s} \\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i)) = \\widehat{G}(2s).$$\n\n**Proof.**\nSince $\\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) \\le k$ always, $\\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) \\ge k \\iff \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) = k$. Because any residue assignment covering $W_{i, k}$ also covers $W_{i, k'}$ for all $0 \\le k' \\le k$, the set $\\{k \\in [0, K^*(s)] : \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) = k\\}$ is the contiguous interval $\\{0, 1, \\dots, R_{|Q_s|}(i)\\}$. Since $\\operatorname{span}_s(i, k) - \\operatorname{span}_s(i, k-1) = a_{i+k} - a_{i+k-1} \\ge 2 > 0$, $\\operatorname{span}_s(i, k)$ is strictly increasing in $k$, so for each $i$ its maximum over $\\{k : \\operatorname{cov}_s(i, k) \\ge k\\}$ is $\\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i))$. This establishes the first equality.\n\nFor the second equality, by the Chinese Remainder Theorem (`#2022` Fact 1, using $\\gcd(W_s, \\prod_{q \\in Q_s} q) = 1$), the phase map $j \\mapsto (-j W_s \\bmod q)_{q \\in Q_s}$ is a bijection between copy indices $j \\in \\mathbb{Z}/(\\prod_{q \\in Q_s} q)\\mathbb{Z}$ and residue tuples $\\mathbf{r} \\in \\prod_{q \\in Q_s} \\mathbb{Z}/q\\mathbb{Z}$.\n- ($\\widehat{G}(2s) \\le \\max_i \\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i))$): Every gap between consecutive $P(2s)\\#$-admissible twin openers in $\\mathbb{Z}$ is of the form $(a_{i+k} + j W_s) - (a_{i-1} + j W_s) = \\operatorname{span}_s(i, k)$ where the $k$ consecutive $W_s$-slots $a_i + j W_s, \\dots, a_{i+k-1} + j W_s$ are killed by $Q_s$. The induced residue tuple $r_q \\equiv -j W_s \\pmod q$ covers $W_{i, k}$, so $k \\le R_{|Q_s|}(i)$ and $\\operatorname{span}_s(i, k) \\le \\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i))$.\n- ($\\max_i \\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i)) \\le \\widehat{G}(2s)$): For any $i \\in [0, D_s)$, let $k = R_{|Q_s|}(i)$ and choose a residue tuple $\\mathbf{r}$ covering $W_{i, k}$. Let $j$ be the CRT copy with $j W_s \\equiv -r_q \\pmod q$ for all $q \\in Q_s$. Then all $k$ integers $a_i + j W_s, \\dots, a_{i+k-1} + j W_s$ are killed by $Q_s$, so no $P(2s)\\#$-admissible twin opener lies strictly between $a_{i-1} + j W_s$ and $a_{i+k} + j W_s$. Therefore, the unique physical gap between consecutive $P(2s)\\#$-admissible twin openers straddling this run has length at least $(a_{i+k} + j W_s) - (a_{i-1} + j W_s) = \\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i))$, so $\\operatorname{span}_s(i, R_{|Q_s|}(i)) \\le \\widehat{G}(2s)$. $\\blacksquare$\n\n---\n\n### Theorem 3 (Inclusion-Maximal Antichain Reduction & Step-2 Chain Cardinality Identity)\nFor each prime $q > 2$ and window $W_{i,k}$, let $\\mathcal{M}_q(i,k) = \\{C_q(r) : r \\in \\mathbb{Z}/q\\mathbb{Z}\\}$ and let $\\mathcal{M}_q^*(i,k) \\subseteq \\mathcal{M}_q(i,k)$ be the set of inclusion-maximal masks (keeping one representative per distinct maximal mask). Then:\n1. For every subset $S \\subseteq Q_s$, $\\mu_S(i, k) = \\max_{(M_q)_{q \\in S} \\in \\prod_{q \\in S} \\mathcal{M}_q^*(i, k)} \\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in S} M_q\\right|$.\n2. Let $R_q(i, k) = \\{a_{i+j} \\bmod q : 0 \\le j < k\\}$. If $1 \\le |R_q(i, k)| < q$, decompose $R_q(i, k)$ into maximal arithmetic progressions of step $2 \\pmod q$ (\"step-2 chains\") and let $c_{\\ge 2}$ be the number of chains of length $\\ell \\ge 2$. Then\n   $$|\\mathcal{M}_q^*(i, k)| = |R_q(i, k)| - c_{\\ge 2} \\le k.$$\n\n**Proof.**\n(1) Every $M_q \\in \\mathcal{M}_q(i, k)$ is contained in some $M_q^* \\in \\mathcal{M}_q^*(i, k)$, so $\\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in S} M_q\\right| \\le \\left|\\bigcup_{q \\in S} M_q^*\\right|$.\n(2) Assume $1 \\le |R_q(i, k)| < q$. Since $q$ is odd, $\\gcd(2, q) = 1$, so $R_q(i, k)$ partitions uniquely into $c$ maximal step-$2$ chains $H_1 \\sqcup \\dots \\sqcup H_c$, each of the form $H = \\{r_0, r_0+2, \\dots, r_0+2(\\ell-1)\\} \\pmod q$ with $r_0 - 2 \\notin R_q$ and $r_0 + 2\\ell \\notin R_q$. For each $x \\in R_q$, let $J(x) = \\{j < k : a_{i+j} \\equiv x \\pmod q\\} \\ne \\emptyset$. The non-empty masks in $\\mathcal{M}_q(i, k)$ supported on $H$ are:\n- the left endpoint mask $C_q(r_0) = J(r_0)$,\n- the interior pair masks $C_q(r_0 + 2t) = J(r_0 + 2(t-1)) \\sqcup J(r_0 + 2t)$ for $1 \\le t \\le \\ell - 1$, and\n- the right endpoint mask $C_q(r_0 + 2\\ell) = J(r_0 + 2(\\ell-1))$.\nIf $\\ell = 1$, $C_q(r_0) = C_q(r_0+2) = J(r_0)$ are identical and non-empty, contributing exactly $1 = \\ell$ inclusion-maximal mask. If $\\ell \\ge 2$, $C_q(r_0) = J(r_0) \\subsetneq J(r_0) \\sqcup J(r_0+2) = C_q(r_0+2)$ and $C_q(r_0+2\\ell) = J(r_0+2(\\ell-1)) \\subsetneq C_q(r_0+2(\\ell-1))$, while the $\\ell - 1$ interior masks $C_q(r_0+2t)$ ($1 \\le t \\le \\ell - 1$) have distinct non-empty supports $J(r_0+2(t-1)) \\sqcup J(r_0+2t)$ and are pairwise incomparable. Finally, any $r$ with $r, r-2 \\notin R_q$ gives $C_q(r) = \\emptyset$, which is strictly dominated since $|R_q| \\ge 1$. Summing over all chains gives $|\\mathcal{M}_q^*(i, k)| = \\sum_{\\ell=1} 1 + \\sum_{\\ell \\ge 2} (\\ell - 1) = |R_q(i, k)| - c_{\\ge 2} \\le k$. $\\blacksquare$\n\n---\n\n## 3.
