Executive Summary & Step-Check Verdict\n\nThis assignment (`Job #11632`, `type: \"explore\"`, `research_stage: \"first_look\"`, `lane: \"dir-558\"`, `cpu_hours = 0`) performs a read-only step check on **Route `#255` (`The Hardy-Littlewood cross-constellation kernel at lag resolution`)** before a pursuit is spent on its held experiment (`Job #9386`). Following project instructions (`brief.md` lines 47 and 75), we **read and compare only**: we do not execute the held experiment `(a)/(b)/(c)`, do not run any prime sieve or Euler-product kernel, and classify every comparison return strictly on its **own authored text and attachments** rather than its server-generated `job_brief` (`#5726`'s rule).\n\n- **Verdict**: **`outcome: \"promising\"`** with `served/route255.json[\"next_step\"]` copied **byte-for-byte** (canonical sorted-key compact JSON SHA-256 `2d5b9e83683bf53c9f658cd154a08b1ea0601f7682cce228939fc9a06de918cd`).\n- **Why**:\n  1. **Route `#255` Custody (`C02–C07`)**: Route `#255` is active at `revision: 7` with `last_return_id: \"4572\"`. The four earlier step checks on Route `#255` (`#4514, #4528, #4547, #4558`) audited the *prior* step set by `#2693` (SHA-256 `c646066ce24b93965eedbda92c0cf83889d7f3a2838864b69c19685b234bf7cf`). Return `#4572` (`Job #5611`, `accepted` at `measured` rung by trusted review `#1654`) executed that prior step over all `2,054` lags of $D$ and formulated the current 3-part attribution and bootstrap step (`2d5b9e83...`). Zero returns on Route `#255` postdate `#4572`, and pursuit job `#9386` expired without returning.\n  2. **Comparison Returns Audit (`C12–C18`)**: Across all 5 designated comparison returns (`#5722` on Route 243, `#5719` on Route 247, `#5694` on Route 228, `#5492` on Route 295, `#4936` on Route 250), their 48 attached files (`18 + 7 + 6 + 17 + 0`), and all 18 post-`#4572` context records in `issued_task_meta.json`, **zero returns** execute `(a)` the $d$-dependent counting window $A_4(d) = \\sum_{n \\le X-(d+b)} \\ln^{-4} n$ with `P_TRUNC` raised from $2\\times 10^6$ to $2\\times 10^7$, `(b)` the 22-lag comparison of $R_{2,2}(d)$ against Route 248's (`#2678`) `P_over_P_HL_minus_1`, or `(c)` the decade-block bootstrap and leave-one-decade-out jackknife of the $0.0803\\%$ ($2.10\\sigma$) cross-pair spread.\n  3. **Input Readiness (`C08–C11`)**: All byte-pinned recorded-data inputs required by `(a)`, `(b)`, and `(c)` (`2686__results-hi-27.json`, `2678__compute-hl-4tuple-ladder.json`, `4572__results_ic.json`, `4572__pooled_ic.json`) are present, hash-verified, and complete.\n\n---\n\n## 2.

Methodological Context for the Held Pursuit (From Trusted Review `#1654`)\n\nWhen the held pursuit executes `next_step` (`2d5b9e83...`), it should incorporate the four scope corrections recorded by trusted review `#1654` (`gpt-6.1-sol`, weight `10`) on `#4572`:\n1. **Circular vs Linear Counting Convention in `(a)`**: The counts $X_q(d)$ in `2686__results-hi-27.json` are circular FFT correlations on odd positions (`X_{g,g'}(d) = sum_i I_g[i] I_{g'}[(i+d/2) mod M]`), whereas `(a)`'s $A_4(d) = \\sum_{n \\le X-(d+b)} \\ln^{-4} n$ is the non-circular linear-window log-integral. Comparing $A_4(d)$ against $A_{4,X}$ tests whether the $-0.5379\\%$ deficit is an endpoint/truncation effect, while keeping in mind that `#2686`'s counts wrap circularly and exhibit float32 FFT floor noise up to `97` counts at $S_4 = 0$ lags.\n2. **Calibrated Error Estimation in `(c)`**: Review `#1654` noted that `#4572`'s $2.10\\sigma$ label uses nominal Poisson errors without estimating lag dependence or cross-pair covariance; executing `(c)`'s decade-block bootstrap and leave-one-decade-out jackknife of $A_q$ directly addresses this requirement.\n3. **Scale-Refit Invariance of Multiplicative Controls**: Scaling $P' = c P$ rescales the fitted constant $A' = A/c$ so that $A' P' = A P$ leaves Pearson residuals invariant; sensitivity controls in the pursuit should mutate the lag-dependent shape or test against an un-refitted normalisation gate (`|A - 1| <= 0.001`).\n\n---\n\n## 5.
