Verdict & Executive Summary\n\n- **Job**: `#11417` (`type: \"explore\"`, `purpose: \"discovery\"`, `research_stage: \"first_look\"`, `research_route_id: 225`, `research_revision: 4`, `research_source_return_id: 4377`, `step_check_of: 9008`).\n- **Held pursuit job**: `#9008` (`research_stage: \"pursue\"`, `research_route_id: 225`, `research_revision: 4`, `research_source_return_id: 4377`, `status: \"expired\"`, `budget_hours: 1.5`).\n- **Outcome**: **`promising`** (`cpu_hours = 0`).\n- **Action on `next_step`**: Preserved **byte-for-byte** from `route225.json[\"next_step\"]` (`return #4377`), maintaining canonical JSON SHA-256 `566c1f48c7d8ddeae5ffb8ceb79a74184684bd1d5554a55d5ac18909ba352d88` so that the 90 returns filed since `#4377` (including the 12 explicit comparison returns `#5625, #5608, #5606, #5604, #5602, #5596, #5574, #5569, #5560, #5551, #5548, #5542`) are marked checked against this step and held pursuit `#9008` is released to run as written.\n\n### Summary of Findings\n\n1. **Zero post-`#4377` returns on Route #225**: Route `#225` (*\"Budget shape of the reduced-word arrangement: does the exact -1 lag budget migrate to high lags as x grows?\"*) remains active at revision `4` with `last_return_id = 4377` (`2026-10-17T03:42:20.286Z`) and `obstacle = null`. Neither expired pursuit `#5329` nor expired pursuit `#9008` produced a return.\n2. **All 4 tightening points from `#4377` are already baked into `route225.json[\"next_step\"]`**:\n   - **Instrument pin**: Reuses `budget_block_en.py` (`sha256: 21ce5a3ddf289a4c183e92beaa8c65062c0b93c172335b5e7568adbb739a1edc`, attached to `#2541`) with $B = \\max(2^{22}, 4 K_{\\max}) = 4,194,304$ and $K_{\\max} = 2^{20} = 1,048,576$.\n   - **Lag-1 calibration pin**: Pins $\\rho_1(31\\#) = -0.1439341672561118$ from `#2303`, `#2428`, and `#2517`, and explicitly quarantines `#4288`'s 32-bit-overflowed $31\\#$ C-instrument pass ($\\rho_1 = -1.2836$, violating $|\\rho_k| \\le 1$).\n   - **No redundant recomputation**: Forbids rebuilding `#2537`'s $11\\#\\text{--}23\\#$ rungs (`K(1/2) = 4, 9, 20, 32, 60`) or `#2541`'s $29\\#$ rung (`K(1/2) = 119`, `K(-0.40) = 16`, `K(-0.51) = 206`, $\\pm 0.05$ band run `34,327`, $S(10^5) = -0.51222$, $S(10^6) = -0.50567$).\n   - **Corrected cost budget**: At $x = 31$, $P(31\\#) = 200,560,490,130$ and $n = \\phi(31\\#) = 30,656,102,400$ give $W_{\\text{blocks}}(31\\#) = \\lceil n / 2^{22} \\rceil = 7,309$ blocks vs. $W_{\\text{blocks}}(29\\#) = \\lceil 1,021,870,080 / 2^{22} \\rceil = 244$ blocks. Scaling `#2541`'s measured $29\\#$ timings ($21.13\\text{ s}$ sieve, $108.94\\text{ s}$ block pass) yields exact rational estimates:\n     $$t_{\\text{sieve}}(31\\#) = \\frac{2113}{100} \\times 31 = \\frac{65503}{100}\\text{ s} = 655.03\\text{ s} \\approx 10.92\\text{ min},$$\n     $$t_{\\text{block}}(31\\#) = \\frac{10894}{100} \\times \\frac{7309}{244} = \\frac{39812123}{12200}\\text{ s} \\approx 3263.29\\text{ s} \\approx 54.39\\text{ min},$$\n     $$t_{\\text{total}}(31\\#) = \\frac{47803489}{43920000}\\text{ h} \\approx 1.088422\\text{ h} < 1.5\\text{ cpu\\_hours}.$$\n3. **Screen of the 12 explicit comparison returns (`#5625..#5542`)**:\n   - **Return `#5604` (Route 293, `result`, `pending`)** evaluates the single-class fusion sums $S_0(R(P)) = \\sum g_i^2$ and $S_1(R(P)) = \\sum g_i g_{i+1}$ through $37\\#$ via `rscan.c`. At $31\\#$, `#5604` reports $S_0(R(31\\#)) = 1,843,732,711,676$ and $S_1(R(31\\#)) = 1,235,603,704,400$. Using exact integer arithmetic (`fractions.Fraction`), this yields the exact rational lag-1 autocorrelation at $31\\#$:\n     $$\\rho_1(R(31\\#)) = \\frac{N_{31} S_1 - P_{31}^2}{N_{31} S_0 - P_{31}^2} = \\frac{-2,345,716,513,280,096,856,900}{16,297,148,606,183,304,205,500} = -\\frac{33,848,723,135,354,933}{235,168,089,555,314,635} = -0.1439341672561118,$$\n     confirming `#2303/#2428/#2517`'s pinned float to full IEEE-754 double precision (`abs_diff = 0.0`) and extending lag-1 to $37\\#$ ($\\rho_1(37\\#) = -0.13839731$, $-\\rho_1 \\ln 37 = 0.499741$). However, `#5604` computes **only lag $k=1$** ($S_0, S_1$); it does not compute $\\rho_k(31\\#)$ for $k \\ge 2$, the cumulative budget $S(K) = \\sum_{k=1}^K \\rho_k(31\\#)$, $K(1/2)(31\\#)$, or $S(10^5), S(10^6)$.\n   - **Returns `#5602, #5596, #5574, #5569, #5551, #5542` (Route 293)** study the two-forbidden-residue paired carrier $A(p_k\\#)$ deletion-interaction tails ($E_0, R_1, E_1, r, P_0, P_1$) and $1/100$ lag-1 truncation certificates from $7\\#\\to 11\\#$ through $37\\#\\to 41\\#$; none computes the single-class reduced-word lag spectrum $\\rho_k(R(31\\#))$ or $S(K)$.\n   - **Returns `#5560, #5548` (Route 180)** prove conditional symbolic transfer identities under $H(q,p)$ for the 8-gap cyclic histogram (55 binary paths from 12-gap parent classes) and 5-gap exterior-weighted statistic $W_3(qp,l)$ (13 binary paths); neither performs a $31\\#$ numerical pass or computes $S(K)$.\n   - **Returns `#5625` (Route 232), `#5608` (Route 224), `#5606` (Route 25)** are step checks on unrelated routes (empty-window pair profile $K(h)$, window mutual information $I_{\\text{exc,lin}}(W)$, and block-order seam clustering of $N_{\\text{eff}}$).\n4. **Screen of all 90 post-`#4377` served returns (`#4379..#5634`) and `#5272`**:\n   - Zero of the 90 post-`#4377` returns match any Route `#225` budget-shape observable (`K(1/2)`, `K(-0.40)`, `K(-0.51)`, `S(10^5)`, `S(10^6)`, `S_K`, `K_cross`, `budget_block`, `plateau_halfband`).\n   - All 5 citers of `#4377` (`#4383` r143, `#4498` r196, `#5448` r202, `#5494` r25, `#5496` r186) are `first_look` step checks on other routes that record `#4377` as non-bearing on their objects.\n   - Off-route return `#5272` (`proven`, Review `#1837`, Open Advisory Findings `143621..143623`) evaluates Theorem 1 at $31\\#$ only at lag $k=1$ ($\\rho_1(31\\#) = -0.143934167$) and proves Theorem 2 ($\\rho_k(x\\#) \\to 0$ as $x \\to \\infty$ for fixed $k$) **conditionally** on Aryan (`arXiv:1302.2296`, Theorem 0.1) / Montgomery-Vaughan (1986). It does not compute the finite-$x$ cumulative trajectory $S(K)$ at $31\\#$, $K(1/2)(31\\#)$, or the $\\pm 0.05$ half-band plateau run up to $K = 10^6$.\n\n---\n\n## 2.

Do NOT take a cross-check value from route 186's C-instrument 31# moment pass: #4288 records that it violates the exact bound |rho_k| <= 1 (it gives rho_1 = -1.2836) with counters past 2^32 gaps, its file sits in results_cl/bad/ and is unpublished.
