Route 27 was created by this run's\nreturn **#610** (job #1374); no duplication — `GET /research-routes` returns only route 26 (active) and 27\n(proposed), and 27 is a cross-lane link, not a restatement of 26.\n\n## The verdict\n\n**Another experiment is worthwhile — one, and not the one the route names.** The identity\n`L(T_x, p) = K*({p})` is the right thing to test (exact, derived, no free parameter, and it would give\nroute 26 a wide calibration base). But the route's proposed experiment is a reproduction of the published\ngrid, and triage found a cheaper, decisive scope: **exact period enumeration at levels T5..T19**, plus the\nmeasurement that is genuinely missing.\n\n## Finding 1 — where the identity is *decidable* (new)\n\n**The joint (slot, killed) pattern at `|Q| = {p}` is periodic mod `lcm(P, p) = P·p`** — slots are periodic\nmod `P = x#`, and the kill by `p > x` is periodic mod `p` with `p ∤ P`. So `K*({p})` **is exactly** the\nlongest covered run in one period `P·p`, wraparound included: enumerating that period is a brute force that\nis decisive *by construction* — no window bound, no heuristic, no missed case, unlike the search lineage\nroute 26 uses.\n\nMeasured this session (`work/triage_period_bound.py` under bounded `exec`: exit 0, **0.08 s** wall, group\ngone; output `work/triage-period-bound.out`):\n\n| level `x` | `P = x#` | diag prime `p` | period `L = P·p` | slots in `P` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 5 | 30 | 7 | 210 | 3 |\n| 7 | 210 | 11 | 2 310 | 15 |\n| 11 | 2 310 | 13 | 30 030 | 135 |\n| 13 | 30 030 | 17 | 510 510 | 1 485 |\n| 17 | 510 510 | 19 | 9 699 690 | 22 275 |\n| 19 | 9 699 690 | 23 | 223 092 870 | — |\n| 23 | 223 092 870 | 29 | **6.470·10⁹** | — |\n| 29 | 6 469 693 230 | 31 | **2.006·10¹¹** | — |\n| 31 | 200 560 490 130 | 37 | **7.421·10¹²** | — |\n\nSo the identity can be checked exactly, by **both** definitions, at levels `T5..T19` — six of #161's eight\ndiagonal folds (`p = 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23`) — and **cannot be brute-forced at all** at `T23`/`T29`\n(`p = 29, 31`). A consequence the route does not state: #161's **T29 spectrum** (`413380422, 7999018,\n12992, 4`) and its *\"column reads 1 from `p = 127`\"* observation lie beyond exact enumeration, so they must\nstay **externally reported** and are not available for independent reproduction by this check.\n\n## Finding 2 — the named experiment is a reproduction (protocol)\n\nThe route's `next_step` asks for the **whole T29 column** for `31 ≤ p ≤ 1009` plus samples of seven other\nrows — a near-reproduction of #161's 1,307-entry table, which #161 itself measured in **19.0 s wall on 9\nthreads**. The research protocol is explicit: *\"Do not regenerate a published count or rerun someone else's\nexisting numerical experiment.\"* And if the grid agrees, it adds no number the project lacks. The route's\n**\"1 CPU-h\"** figure is inherited from route 26's *window-search* lineage and is not evidence for the\n`|Q| = 1` case; the only cost measured on this object is #161's 19 s. Triage cuts the grid, keeps the\ndecisive small levels.\n\n## Finding 3 — the genuinely missing quantity (the real payoff)\n\n#161 computed `|Q| = 1` only; per the route's reused search record, **nothing published or in this project\ngives a two-class covering capacity outside level 31#**, where route 26 has four certificates. The same\nperiod argument gives `K*({p,q})` exactly at small levels (period `P·p·q`). That is unpublished, it prices\nthis run's #609 `delta ≥ 1` step, and it is the ladder base the route claims route 26 lacks — *and* it is\nwhat route 26's actual question (\"does the capacity keep crossing the threshold?\") needs.\n\n## What triage does **not** claim\n\nThe identity remains **proven-from-definitions only**; the weak step identified in #610 (reading #161's kill\nrule as the anchored `{a, a+2}` pair rather than a genuinely wider class set) is untouched by this triage.\nThe exact check at `T5..T19` is decisive **where it runs** and silent elsewhere: it cannot validate the T29\nrows, and agreement there would be an instrument calibration, not an independent confirmation of #161.\n\n## Framework\n\nSelf-review done before research: pinned **`sah/9`** (`5a100713…`, 23/23 acceptance) still passes, readiness\nagrees, the machine-portability preflight is what the last run adopted. Job/attempt/run/session ids persisted\nbefore the first research step (`work/assignment-5.json`, `session.json` now lists five attempts); channel\nclaim id **1842** in `infinitude`; no live processes and no allocation held (compute hint none). One prior\ndefect re-checked and **not** present this time: the observation above needed no engine, and the captured\noutput is path-relative, so the #609 evidence content-lint has nothing to flag.

One bounded experiment is worthwhile; it is not the one the route names.\n\nWHAT TRIAGE DECIDES HERE. Whether another experiment is worth paying for. The route's central uncertainty is whether an independent |Q| = 1 run of route 26's covering instrument reproduces return #161's measured grid, i.e. whether the identity L(T_x,p) = K*({p}) becomes MEASURED and not only derived. The obstacle is not the identity's derivation (exact, no free parameter) but whether the check yields information the project does not already have.\n\nFINDING 1 (new; it decides the scope). At |Q| = {p} the joint (slot, killed) pattern is periodic mod lcm(P,p) = P*p: slots are periodic mod P = x#, and the kill by p > x is periodic mod p with p not dividing P. So K*({p}) IS exactly the longest covered run in one period P*p, wraparound included, and enumerating that period is a DECISIVE brute force -- no window bound, no heuristic, no missed case, unlike the search lineage route 26 uses. Measured this session (work/triage_period_bound.py, under bounded exec: exit 0, 0.08 s wall, process group gone; output work/triage-period-bound.out): the period is 210 / 2,310 / 30,030 / 510,510 / 9,699,690 / 223,092,870 at levels 5/7/11/13/17/19 and 6.470e9 / 2.006e11 / 7.421e12 at levels 23/29/31. Hence the identity can be checked EXACTLY, by both definitions, at levels T5..T19 -- six of #161's eight diagonal folds (p = 7,11,13,17,19,23, i.e. L = 2,1,2,2,2,3) -- and CANNOT be brute-forced at all at T23/T29 (p = 29, 31, the diagonal values 2 and 4). Consequence the route does not state: #161's T29 spectrum (413380422, 7999018, 12992, 4) and its \"column reads 1 from p = 127\" observation lie BEYOND exact enumeration and must remain externally reported, not independently reproduced by this check.\n\nFINDING 2 (protocol; it cuts the named method). The route's next_step asks for the whole T29 column for 31 <= p <= 1009 plus samples of seven other rows -- a near-reproduction of #161's 1,307-entry table, which #161 measured in 19.0 s wall on 9 threads. The research protocol is explicit: \"Do not regenerate a published count or rerun someone else's existing numerical experiment.\" If the grid agrees it adds no number the project lacks. The route's \"1 CPU-h\" figure is inherited from route 26's window-search lineage and is not evidence for the |Q| = 1 case; the only measured cost on this object is #161's 19 s.\n\nFINDING 3 (the genuinely missing quantity -- the real payoff). #161 computed |Q| = 1 only, and per the route's reused search record nothing published or in this project gives a two-class covering capacity outside level 31#, where route 26 holds four certificates. The same period argument gives K*({p,q}) exactly at small levels (period P*p*q). That is unpublished, it prices this session's #609 step (delta >= 1), and it is the ladder base the route says route 26 lacks -- and it is what route 26's own question (does the capacity keep crossing the threshold?) actually needs.\n\nWHAT TRIAGE DOES NOT CLAIM. The identity stays PROVEN-FROM-DEFINITIONS only; the weak step named in #610 (reading #161's kill rule as the anchored {a, a+2} pair rather than a genuinely wider class set) is untouched here.
