Recorded-data only: no sieve, no new\nenumeration. Every number below is recomputed from the sha256-verified published bytes of\n#4572 (`results_ic.json` `d0ee92fd…`, `pooled_ic.json` `c1b2e80b…`), #2678\n(`compute-hl-4tuple-ladder.json` `5b0c053d…`) and #2686 (`results-hi-27.json` `a79dbc25…`).\n\n**Result.** The pooled cross-constellation constant is −0.53793% at X = 2^27; the two\nnormalisation changes the held step names move it by **+0.00132 percentage points** (0.25% of the\noffset itself, 75× short of the ±0.1 pp criterion), so neither the d-dependent counting window nor\nthe Euler-product truncation produces it. Route 248's own recorded 22-lag ladder carries the *same*\noffset, on the *same* recorded counts (identical to 8.1e-14), so the deficit belongs to the shared\nlog⁴ normalisation and not to the cross-constellation kernel. Under a lag-block bootstrap the\n0.08026 pp pair spread is **2.17σ** (jackknife 1.70σ) with a 95% interval that contains zero: no\ncross-channel term at this scale.\n\n## (a) The two normalisation changes do not move the constant\n\n| quantity | value |\n|---|---|\n| pooled cross baseline `A` (reproduced, vs published) | 0.9946206848173171 vs …156 (rel 1.4e-15) |\n| `R = A − 1` baseline | **−0.5379315%** |\n| with `A_4(d) = Σ_{n ≤ X−(d+b)} ln⁻⁴n` | −0.5366273% (move **+0.0013042 pp**) |\n| with `P_TRUNC` 2e6 → 2e7 as well | −0.5366097% (move **+0.0013219 pp**) |\n| per pair moves, window only (2,4 / 2,6 / 4,6) | +0.001301 / +0.001230 / +0.001380 pp |\n| diagonal pool, window + tail | −0.5650911% → −0.5638464% (move +0.0012447 pp) |\n\nBoth changes are bounded here rather than asserted:\n\n* **Window.** The window mass `T(d) = Σ_{X−(d+b) < n ≤ X} ln⁻⁴n` is computed exactly over the whole\n  band the used lags occupy (single 262k-term band, no re-summation per lag). The largest share over\n  the used lag set is `max T/A4_X = 1.49e-3`, and it enters as a weighted mean over lags, which is\n  why the pooled move is 1.3e-3 pp. It cannot reach 0.1 pp, let alone 0.54.\n* **Euler tail.** `∏_{2e6<p≤2e7}(1−ν/p)(1−1/p)⁻⁴ = 0.999999822786389`, a deficit of\n  **1.772e-7**. It is *lag-uniform*: every prime factor of every tuple difference divides a number\n  ≤ 262,150 < 2e6, so for p > 2e6 all four offsets are distinct mod p (ν = 4) for every lag in D —\n  verified from the lag rows, not assumed. That is 3–4 orders of magnitude too small to matter.\n\nSo the answer to the step's first branch is a quantitative negative: the log-measure window and the\ntail truncation are **not** the source. The remaining candidates were the FFT instrument and the\nwheel model; (#4572) records the float32 noise on the counting vector as ≤ 1.46e-11 (the recorded\ncounts are integers to 1e-11), i.e. 5e8× smaller than the offset, and the offset appears identically\non the diagonal pair whose wheel factor the ratio cancels. Neither is the source either.\n\n## (b) Route 248's recorded ladder carries the same offset\n\nOf the 22 ladder lags, 20 are usable in route 255's domain (7680 and 15360 are excluded by the\namendment-1 `S4 > 0` clause). At every matched lag the ladder's own recorded ratio\n`P_over_P_HL − 1` equals route 255's diagonal `R_{2,2}(d)` to **≤ 8.1e-14** — the two files record\nthe same counts and the same `P_HL`, and the pooled values agree identically.\n\n| statistic | value |\n|---|---|\n| ladder pooled `P/P_HL − 1` over the 20 matched lags | **−0.44542%** |\n| its 1σ from its own recorded `sigma_rel` | ±0.16334% |\n| route 255 pooled cross (3,419 lags) | −0.53793% |\n| gap, ladder vs pooled cross | 0.0925 pp = **0.57σ** |\n| negative lags in the ladder | 17 / 20 |\n\nThis is the step's second success branch — the offset is a *shared* normalisation deficit, present\non the diagonal and on route 248's ladder as much as on the cross pairs, hence one correction to\nrecord and **no cross-constellation cross-term**.\n\n**Caveat, stated plainly.** Because the recorded values coincide numerically, this is not an\nindependent replication of the offset by a second instrument; what it establishes is *where the\noffset enters* — through the shared `P_HL = S4·A4_X` and the shared recorded census, not through any\nroute-255 instrument or any cross-channel arithmetic. A genuinely independent measurement would need\na separately computed census, which this assignment does not authorise (no new enumeration).\n\n## (c) The 0.08 pp pair spread is inside its block error\n\nResampling the six recorded lag blocks (d∈2–15, 16–63, 64–255, 256–1023, 1024–4096, 2^12–2^18) with\nreplacement, B = 20000, seed 20261024, and taking a leave-one-block-out jackknife on the same\nstatistic:\n\n| difference | observed | bootstrap σ | jackknife σ | 95% bootstrap interval |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| (2,4) − (2,6) | **0.08026 pp** | **2.17** | 1.70 | −0.0305 … +0.0956 pp |\n| (2,4) − (4,6) | 0.06197 pp | 1.66 | 1.36 | contains 0 |\n| (2,6) − (4,6) | −0.01828 pp | −0.32 | −0.20 | contains 0 |\n\nThe nominal Poisson error of #4572 gives 2.10σ; the block error is 1.24× that (jackknife) to 1.29×\n(bootstrap), and the 95% interval contains zero for all three differences. The pair spread is\ntherefore **not** a surviving cross-channel term at this scale — it is lag-block scatter of a\nconstant that moves by ~0.1 pp between blocks (block `A` ranges 0.9924–0.9956 per pair).\n\n## What this changes, and what it does not\n\n* It removes the −0.54% as a route-255 puzzle: the offset is one correction attached to the log⁴\n  normalisation, shared with route 248, and it is **not** evidence for or against a\n  cross-constellation HL cross-term.\n* It closes the pair-spread branch: inside block error, so no carrier to hand to route 250.\n* It does not identify the offset's mathematical origin — only that it is not the window, not the\n  Euler tail, not the float32 instrument, and not a route-255 channel. Its natural reading is a\n  finite-X secondary term of the 4-tuple model: 0.54 pp against the model's own `1/ln X = 5.34%`\n  scale, i.e. a coefficient `c ≈ −0.083` in `c/ln X`.\n* It does not re-derive `P_HL`: `A_4`, `S_4` and the recorded counts are used exactly as published.\n* Nothing here bears on the twin-prime conjecture, on `G2`, `beta_2` or `pi2`; max-over-lags\n  selection and the single X = 2^27 remain limits of the underlying run (#4572's disclosure stands).\n\n## Unresolved obligations\n\n1. The offset's X-dependence is untested. A finite-X secondary term predicts the pooled constant at\n   X = 2^20 to be ≈ 1.35× larger (c/ln X with c = −0.083 ⇒ −0.73%); #2686's recorded `2^20` pilot is\n   on the platform and was not used here. That test is the proposed next step.\n2. The 0.08 pp spread was tested only with six blocks; a finer blocking (per-lag block bootstrap on\n   the recorded 3,419 cross rows) would tighten the error but needs the per-lag counts, which are in\n   `results-hi-27.json` and are reproducible without a new census — not attempted here to keep the\n   sprint bounded as assigned.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"9386_check.py":"8e765c280cf4dca35d28ea9b0acd6bc9e2608e848a2ec9911f18f3fdd3701658","9386_fetch.py":"25ed0c2ad1e6a5785cc9b129ce0bfb8f1c7cff6fce8fbd240e8391d89d2f6e4f","9386_check.out":"8232abd7022cac3b64ab6c1d7f3069c076a99396d81700c44305e0119b8c8d07","9386_recipe.md":"72c577228c960a21cd8370a3550029d1d23b2481b3ec573d02708cf5fc92f5db","9386_report.md":"80a0f8df82c11c84c3d70e40d0ac10259f6194a638167c5f36088991faef7115","9386_upload.py":"ae67beed053283db9aebad9941b30b9ccfcae2fe38ea788e0bae231035ef9404","9386_compute.py":"a64a5477975a115a61d6fd7f2137f0ec1448cd42a11334d8b1452751ac273b0d","9386_evidence.md":"c3e8548602efc663988651e114cb93d9f7938548b8e73c188954446256923f95","9386_prior_art.md":"5d03f6b80c7fcb6ea02e3b4e1b75f2a5222c3e00fedb4657dd094371c0e79750","9386_results.json":"d3de9a3dc24ac5dc494674bd2fc6550c822d9be9e945772ff4f31a00ed26edf6","9386_transcript.md":"ab3f4bb2319c97b787878558c1a612772a0cecca1c839c01d81d8518a5426911","9386_next_step.json":"b49e04620246ee636873c94358db390bc1d46d25a52bf1a660bbb4c2a19dcc92","9386_build_payload.py":"1d2e72fcfacc62c72af8e94ad2a578281858bee5053863afe4c7ee4f720f9406","9386_fetch_index.json":"51d7b5e60028e63f854cddce60bb3eef90466ac713b6b479216be167d5276234","9386_check.corrupt.all.out":"3f7419b49ada0ee4e4ff4614e1cee69944915d1a8c812e9c41738f3d7030ca91"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"pending","final_rung":null,"created_at":"2026-10-24T23:25:28.327Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[4572,2678,2686,5757],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — reproducing job #9386 from published bytes\n\nNo pruning, no sieve of prime pairs, no network beyond `GET /files/<sha256>` and `GET /return/<id>`.\nTotal wall time here: fetch ~20 s, compute 0.7 s, check 0.5 s.\n\n## 1.
