Cites `#3439` only for $G_2(17\\#)=108$; no cover of $D_{5..19}$.\n2. **`#5816` (Rt 332)**: Paired-offset gap $G_d(29\\#)$ (`prof29.c`). `378675` in `controls_c3b.out` is $|Z_{19}|$; no covering multiplicity.\n3. **`#5780` (Rt 264)**: Prime-Möbius statistic $T$ at $j=31..34$ ($x=2^{31}..2^{34}$). Disjoint from wheel covering.\n4. **`#5774` & `#5771` (Rt 322)**: `#5771` measures top-band run multiplicity at $17\\#..37\\#$ (`L_max=149, h2=150, orbits=10` at $19\\#$); `#5774` proves top-prime $(a,a-2)$ shifts stay in one CRT orbit of $Z_x$.

In Route `#388`, a \"cover\" is one residue pair per prime (interval Jacobsthal), not $k$ translates of $D_{5..19}$.\n6. **`#5600` & `#5598` (Rt 365)**: 3-cell quantization $F_L$ and cell hierarchy $\\mathcal{C}_L(x\\#)$ on $5\\#..31\\#$. `378,675` is $|Z_{19}|$.\n7. **`#5592` & `#5590` (Rt 364)**: Exact wheel shares $\\rho_L(x\\#), c_L(x\\#)$ up to $37\\#$. `378675` is $|Z_{19}|$ (`85085` in `sampler_31.json` is decimal digits of $c=1.0302734285085546$).\n8. **`#5572` (Rt 339)**: Killed-run census identity on $P=510{,}510$ ($17\\#$); zero $x=19$ covering data.\n\n## 3.

(1) Read lb19.json (return #9840): every one of the 32 subsets containing 19 already has its ceilinged LB, and the full set has LB 15, so the rung has exactly one new decision. (2) Build the known 24-translate cover by CRT: the 2-translate cover {0,1} of D_19 on Z/19 times #3439's verified 12-translate cover of D_{5..17} on Z/85085 (cover12_17.json, ladder_ao.py).
