Because `Job #11296` was a standalone `work`/`measure` job (`research_route_id: null`), `#5577` did not automatically mutate `route184.json`.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Return `#4972` Baseline and Premises of the Held Step\n\nIn Return `#4972` (`Job #7133`), uniform value reassignment on fixed support $S$ rejected at all 9 cell-cases ($p_{\\text{res}} = 1/201$, $|z_{\\text{level}}| \\in [9.55, 33.38]$, $z_{\\text{amp}} \\in [3.22, 19.77]$), with exact `F1`, `F2 = 33/33`, `F4` and same-residue rate within $[-0.99, +1.11]\\,\\text{SE}$ of uniform chance $\\sum_r n_r^2 / N^2$ (`9.9799e-3, 9.1334e-5, 7.1193e-5`). However, `#4972`'s Section 4 diagnostic (`4972__diag_bx_*.json`) showed that destroying short-range autocorrelation inside blocks resets the cloud's per-cell means to calibration baseline $1$ (`cloud_grid_mean = 1.0002, 1.0013, 0.9994`, per-cell `[0.9935, 1.0068]`), whereas the observed residual has within-block cancellation (`obs_grid_mean = 0.7183, 0.7839, 0.7460`; `obs > cloud` at `0/33, 2/33, 0/33` cells). *(Note verified in `C04`: at $2^{16}$ seed `4164`, `results_bx.json` stores `same_residue_rate = 0.010004764930114358`, reproduced by `#5577`, whereas `#4972`'s report table printed `1.0003e-2`.)*\n\nReturn `#4972` queued the whole-512-tile permutation null $f^\\sigma[512t + u] = f[512\\sigma(t) + u]$ ($\\sigma \\in S_T$ uniform, $T = M/512 \\in \\{64, 128, 1024\\}$) assuming (1) same-residue rate would drop to uniform chance $\\sum_r n_r^2/N^2$ and (2) all $33/33$ cell block sums would be preserved (`F3 = 33/33`).\n\n---\n\n## 3. Algebraic and Empirical Settlement by `#5577` (`Review #1992`)\n\n### 3.1 Lemma 1 (`C06`, `C07`): Same-Residue Rate Is $1/T$ (Fixed Tiles Only), Not Uniform Chance\n\nUnder $f^\\sigma[512t + u] = f[512\\sigma(t) + u]$, a support element at $(t, u)$ lands on the same residue class $\\bmod P_U$ iff $512(\\sigma(t) - t) \\equiv 0 \\pmod{P_U}$. Since $\\gcd(512, P_U) = 2$ for $P_U \\in \\{210, 30030\\}$, this is equivalent to $(P_U/2) \\mid (\\sigma(t) - t)$. Across all three cases:\n$$\\frac{P_U}{2} \\in \\{105,\\, 15015,\\, 15015\\} \\;>\\; T - 1 \\in \\{63,\\, 127,\\, 1023\\}.$$\nThus $(P_U/2) \\mid (\\sigma(t) - t) \\iff \\sigma(t) = t$. Every draw's same-residue count equals the support count of fixed tiles (`F5: same_residue == fixed_tile_support` in **$1{,}800 / 1{,}800$ draws**), and $\\mathbb{E}[\\text{rate}_{\\text{same}}] = 1/T \\in \\{1/64 = 1.5625\\times 10^{-2},\\, 1/128 = 7.8125\\times 10^{-3},\\, 1/1024 = 9.765625\\times 10^{-4}\\}$ ($1.57\\times$, $85.5\\times$, $13.7\\times$ uniform chance). Empirically, `(rate - 1/T)/SE` is in `[-2.48, +1.97]`, while `(rate - chance)/SE` is in **`[+5.01, +14.75]`**.\n\n### 3.2 Lemma 2 (`C08`): Only $7/33$ Grid Cells Preserve Block Sums and Occupancies\n\nA cell $(L, \\text{off}) \\in \\text{GRID}$ avoids straddling tile boundaries $512i$ ($0 < i < T$) iff $L \\mid 512$ and $L \\mid \\text{off}$:\n- **7 structural cells**: `(4,0), (8,0), (16,0), (32,0), (64,0), (128,0), (256,0)`.\n- **26 straddling cells**: $L \\in \\{6,10,12,48,96,192,384\\}$ (14 cells) or odd $\\text{off} \\in \\{1,3\\}$ with even $L$ (12 cells).\nIn **$1{,}800 / 1{,}800$ draws**, `F3_cells_blocksum_exact` is **`7/33`** (`0` violations), and `F2_cells_occ_exact` is `7/33` (`7..8` at `65536:4166`).\n\n### 3.3 9-Cell Tile-Permutation Results and Firing of Both Failure Disjuncts (`C09..C12`)\n\n| `x:seed` | $T$ | `F3` | `F5` | `rate_mean` | `(r-1/T)/SE` | `(r-ch)/SE` | `level_obs` | `null_sd` | `z_level` | `p_res` | `z_amp` | `p_amp` | `obs_grid` | `cloud_grid` | Verdict |\n|---|---:|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|\n| `65536:4164` | $64$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `1.7866e-2` | `+1.97` | `+6.93` | `-0.00145` | `0.02096` | `-0.069` | `0.9502` | `1.261` | `0.1095` | `0.7183` | `0.7101` | **INSIDE** |\n| `65536:4165` | $64$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `1.5097e-2` | `-0.53` | `+5.11` | `-0.00797` | `0.02037` | `-0.391` | `0.6517` | `1.595` | `0.0945` | `0.7183` | `0.7097` | **INSIDE** |\n| `65536:4166` | $64$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `1.5363e-2` | `-0.24` | `+5.01` | `-0.00105` | `0.02109` | `-0.050` | `0.9851` | `1.425` | `0.1045` | `0.7183` | `0.7103` | **INSIDE** |\n| `131072:4164` | $128$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `8.6748e-3` | `+1.40` | `+13.97` | `-0.03651` | `0.01512` | `-2.415` | `0.0199` | `1.599` | `0.0945` | `0.7839` | `0.7827` | **INSIDE** |\n| `131072:4165` | $128$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `6.5852e-3` | `-2.48` | `+13.11` | `-0.03744` | `0.01561` | `-2.398` | `0.0199` | `1.540` | `0.0846` | `0.7839` | `0.7828` | **INSIDE** |\n| `131072:4166` | $128$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `7.3909e-3` | `-0.80` | `+13.79` | `-0.03704` | `0.01477` | `-2.508` | `0.00995` | `1.697` | `0.0846` | `0.7839` | `0.7826` | **INSIDE** |\n| `1048576:4164` | $1024$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `1.0078e-3` | `+0.49` | `+14.75` | `-0.03050` | `0.00503` | `-6.068` | `0.00498` | `4.534` | `0.00498` | `0.7460` | `0.7452` | **OUTSIDE** |\n| `1048576:4165` | $1024$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `9.8054e-4` | `+0.06` | `+13.52` | `-0.03114` | `0.00471` | `-6.616` | `0.00498` | `4.691` | `0.00498` | `0.7460` | `0.7452` | **OUTSIDE** |\n| `1048576:4166` | $1024$ | `7/33` | `200/200` | `1.0135e-3` | `+0.49` | `+12.56` | `-0.02967` | `0.00528` | `-5.622` | `0.00498` | `4.129` | `0.00498` | `0.7460` | `0.7454` | **OUTSIDE** |\n\n- **Disjunct (b) fires on `9/9` cell-cases (`C09`)**: `F3 = 7/33 < 33/33` and `(rate - chance)/SE in [+5.01, +14.75]`.\n- **Disjunct (a) fires on a seed-stable `6/9` majority (`2/3` cases, including $2^{17}$; `C10`)**: $2^{16}$ (`3/3` seeds) and $2^{17}$ (`3/3` seeds) fall inside the tile cloud on both `z_level` and `z_amp` under pre-registered $\\alpha = 0.01$ and $|z| \\ge 3$.\n- **$2^{20}$ exception (`C11`) & whole-grid shift reproduction (`C12`)**: `cloud_grid_mean` reproduces `obs_grid_mean` within `0.0087` (`0.7097..0.7828` vs `0.7183..0.7839`), proving the shift below $1$ is a fine-scale within-tile property.

Return `#3473` (`accepted`/`measured`, `Review #1237`) ran the normaliser-free Stage-1 sign-flip (`z_level = -7.76..-34.23`) and within-support value-permutation (`z_level = -9.97..-32.89`) controls, leaving Stage 2 to `#4950` and `#4972`.\n- **Stage-2 Value Reassignment & Whole-Tile Settlement (`#4972`, `#5577`, `Review #1992`)**: Return `#4972` measured Stage-2 value reassignment on fixed support (`9/9` outside at $p_{\\text{res}} = 1/201$), diagnosed the baseline-1 calibration shift (`cloud_grid_mean ~ 1.000` vs `obs_grid_mean = 0.7183..0.7839`), and queued the 512-tile permutation null. Return `#5577` (`accepted`/`measured`, `Review #1992`) executed that 512-tile null and proved Lemmas 1 and 2 (`F5: same == fixed_tile_support`, rate $= 1/T$; `F3 = 7/33` structural cells) and `6/9` inside on both `z_level` and `z_amp`.\n\n## 2. Audit of the 9 Comparison Returns (`C13`)\n\n- **Route 31 (`#5515`, `#5545`, `#5218`)**: `#5515` (`accepted`/`proven`, `Review #1938`) proves non-identifiability of standardized quadratic-grid level displacement $d$ for the signed endpoint budget $E_>(x)$ under class-constant shifts on 225 sign-homogeneous classes ($\\max|\\Delta d| = 0$), providing complementary diagnostic-interface context for Route 184's level functional. `#5545` checks canonical-cutoff right factor $C_{2,2}(m) \\le 0$ and sign-disagreement rate $D(h)$ under the $\\mu$-permutation null. `#5218` (`accepted`/`measured`, `Review #1809`) re-runs `#2683`'s $D=2000$ `T_match` ($S=6.630\\sigma$) and `N4u_match` ($S_N=14.054\\sigma$) clouds, which `#4972`'s directive explicitly excluded (*\"Do NOT re-run #2459's matched-normaliser device\"*).\n- **Route 227 (`#5706`, `#5650`)**: `#5706` (`accepted`/`measured`) executes Route 227's `(B1)/(B2)/(B3)` gap-law tail bridge test at $x \\in \\{11,13,17,19\\}$; `#5650` audited `#4972` and confirmed it does not bear on Route 227.\n- **Route 269 (`#5504`, `#5073`), Route 295 (`#5492`), Route 171 (`#5368`, `#5309`)**: Step checks and measurements on Koukoulopoulos Theorem 1.7 / Ford $Z(\\gamma)$ (`#5504, #5073`), class-2 variance enrichment $E_{\\text{ans}}$ (`#5492`), and killed-run / killer-set laws (`#5368, #5309`).

Because 512 is a multiple of every L in GRID and of the offsets used, every block sum of every cell is preserved up to the tile boundary, so the cloud's per-cell means stay at the observed values rather than at the calibration baseline 1; the residue-class composition of positions is meanwhile re-randomised, so the same-residue rate moves away from 1 toward its exact uniform-permutation chance sum_r n_r^2/N^2 (report the exact value and 1/P_U alongside; they differ by 2.1x-2.7x on this support). Report per case and seed: the two fidelity columns (per-cell occupancy counts identical; same-residue rate against the exact chance with 1/P_U alongside), the observed |z_level| and PC1 |z_amp| against the tile cloud with p_res = (1 + #{i: |z_i| >= |z_m|})/(1+D) at a pre-registered two-sided alpha and the raw leave-one-out maximum reported but not branched on, the per-cell cloud-mean-minus-observed column (to show the baseline-1 shift is or is not neutralised), and the residual mean_sq column flagged as a fidelity property.
