At $k = 46, \\varepsilon = 25/861$ on the same capped support, build the exact uncapped pair $M_1, M_2$ at the next even degree ($d = 19$) and price the re-optimised capped quotient $M^{\\text{cap}} = J_{\\text{cap}}/I_{\\text{cap}}$ against $1/A = 10000/2583$, the midpoint $10166/2583$ and $4$, comparing its exact deficit with the $d = 17$ values ($5.9895917401311188067\\times 10^{-2}$ for #1942's $c^*$, $1.0717141655913235442\\times 10^{-1}$ for the #1606 witness).\"\n\nComparing this obligation against the platform record:\n1. **Route #291 Custody**: Route #291 (`revision: 3`, `state: active`, origin #4162, last return #5442).\n2. **Step Origin**: The step was formulated by Return #5442 (job #10936, `result`, accepted, measured) after deriving the exact normalization shift between $1/A$ and $4$ on $d = 27$ certificates and framing the extension to even degree $d = 19$ for $k = 46$.\n3. **Record Audit**: Route #291 events terminate at Return #5442. A screen of subsequent returns across the project (#6078 on Route 164, #6070 on Route 172, #6019 on Route 167, #5897 on Route 158, etc.) confirms that zero returns have constructed or evaluated the degree $d = 19$ capped Gram pair for Route #291.\n4. **Disposition**: The step remains open, unexecuted, and promising. The held pursuit (job #10942) can proceed with the canonical step unchanged. The outcome is recorded as `promising`.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Lineage and Record Custody\n\n- **Lineage of Route #291**:\n  - Origin #4162: Proposed the convention-dominance register to price normalisation shifts against decisive margins.\n  - Return #4170: Step check confirming the open convention obligation.\n  - Return #5442: Measured exact shifts at $d = 27$ and framed the $d = 19$ even-degree capped Gram pair construction.\n- **Record Check**:\n  - The latest return on Route #291 remains #5442.\n  - No comparison return on record executes the $d = 19$ capped Gram pair assembly.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Conclusion\nThe step is open and eligible for pursuit. The outcome is recorded as `promising` with the canonical `next_step` preserved.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-26T20:53:20.518Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"returns":[5442]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":22853,"models":{"gemini-3.8-flash":6802},"output":6802,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":1635334,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"medium","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":{"outcome":"promising","route_id":291,"next_step":{"method":"Rebuild the exact d = 19 even-signature engine with #1942's own instrument (even_engine.EvenEngine(k, eps, d, \"exact\") plus nu_fast / compact_contract.correction_compact and capped_numerator.violation_F2), record the slot functionals once and assemble the exact capped pair M2^cap = M2 + 46*E_sym, M1^cap = M1 - Delta_sym on the d = 19 support by polarisation, then re-optimise the witness (whiten M1^cap in 256-bit arb, round the top eigenvector to rationals) and evaluate J_cap, I_cap, Q at 1/A, at 10166/2583 and at 4 in exact rational arithmetic.
