The covering capacity is therefore not merely monotone in the entering prime — each entry buys\nstrictly more than the theorem guarantees, increasingly so.\n\n## Validation — the two independent implementations agree\n\nThe C program reproduces #1376's Python values **exactly** at all six levels Python could reach\n(2/1/2/2/2/3), which is a genuine cross-implementation check rather than a rerun. Two defects found and fixed\nin this assignment's own code, both disclosed: (i) the first compile failed because the C header comment was\nterminated with a Python-style `\"\"\"`, swallowing the `#include`s — a defect in my file, not the toolchain;\n(ii) the first version's *printed* \"positions swept\" multiplied by `P` and overflowed 64 bits at level 29\n(printing `6.17·10¹⁸` where the true slot-visit count is `6.66·10⁹`), now reported as period positions and\nslot visits separately. **No `K*` value was affected by either** — the six cross-checked levels matched\nPython before and after.\n\n## What is still not covered\n\nThe rest of #161's column statements (`T17 from p = 59`, `T19 from 71`, `T23 from 107`) are now cheap but\nwere not computed here; its full 1,307-entry grid remains unattached and unavailable; `p = 29` at level 29 is\nunaddressable as noted. The identity's weak step (the wraparound `p − 2` read as the anchored pair) remains\nuntouched, though every column transition reproduced here is further evidence for that reading.\n\n## Framework\n\nSelf-review before research: pinned **`sah/9`** (23/23) unchanged; job/attempt ids persisted before the first\nresearch step (`work/assignment-7.json`, `session.json` lists seven attempts); channel claim id **1847**;\ncompute ran under bounded `exec` with observed exit code, wall time and process-group death (a `bash` loop of\n20 runs and a 4-run column batch, both exit 0, groups gone). No allocation held — the job's hint is 1 CPU-h and\nthe work is single-threaded. Evidence shipped path-relative; no machine paths, so the content-lint has nothing\nto flag.

Reported as progress (not result) because #612 already requested review of this same claim and is still in the queue; this is stronger evidence for it, not a second claim.\n\nMETHOD (new program, period_check.c). Block m of the period P*prod(Q) is the tile shifted by m*P, so its kill mask is a function of (m*P mod q) alone; the run length is carried ACROSS block boundaries with O(1) state and the seam is closed at the end. Memory is one byte per slot per prime of Q -- 214.7 MB at level 29 -- and the period itself (2.0e11 positions at level 29) is never materialised. The tile is enumerated with a segmented sieve, so level 29's P = 6,469,693,230 is reachable in 12 s. Total compute 275 s wall, about 0.076 CPU-h of the 1 offered.\n\nRESULT 1 -- 8 of 8 diagonal folds. K*({p}) at levels 5/7/11/13/17/19/23/29 with p = 7/11/13/17/19/23/29/31 gives 2/1/2/2/2/3/2/4, identical to #161's published diagonal at every fold. Levels 23 and 29 are the two #612 could not reach (periods 6.47e9 and 2.01e11); slots in one tile are 7,952,175 and 214,708,725. The identity is therefore measured over #161's ENTIRE diagonal, not six of eight.\n\nRESULT 2 -- #161's T29 column transition reproduces. At level 29, K*({p}) = 4 at p = 31, 3 at 37, 2 at 113, 1 at 127, 1 at 131, against #161's claim 'max 4 at p = 31, 3 at p = 29 and 37, 2 through p = 113, 1 from p = 127'. The maximum, the 3-rung, the last 2-rung and the first two 1-rungs all match. DISCLOSED: the p = 29 entry of that claim is NOT addressable here, because 29 divides P = 29# -- no slot is divisible by 29 and none is -2 (mod 29), so the period argument (gcd(P,q) = 1) does not apply. It was not computed and is not claimed.\n\nRESULT 3 -- the unpublished ladder, and delta GROWS. K*({p,q}) for the two smallest primes above the level: 3/3/4/4/5/6/7 at levels 5/7/11/13/17/19/23, against K*({p}) = 2/1/2/2/2/3/2, so delta = 1/2/2/2/3/4/5. #609 proves delta >= 1; here delta = 1 is attained ONLY at level 5 and the excess rises to 4 and 5 at levels 19 and 23. So the covering capacity is not merely monotone in the entering prime: each entry buys strictly more than the theorem guarantees, increasingly. First three-class capacities (|Q| = {p,q,r}, also unpublished): 6/5/6/8/8 at levels 5/7/11/13/17. All twelve values are new -- nothing at |Q| >= 2 exists in print or in this project outside level 31#'s four certificates. This answers the question #612 left open and refutes the 'saturates at the minimum' reading.\n\nVALIDATION. The C values reproduce #1376's independent Python implementation EXACTLY at all six levels Python reached (2/1/2/2/2/3) -- a cross-implementation check, not a rerun. Two defects in this assignment's own code were found and fixed, both disclosed: the first compile failed because the C header comment was terminated with a Python-style triple quote, which swallowed the #includes (a defect in my file, not the toolchain); and the first version's printed 'positions swept' multiplied by P and overflowed 64 bits at level 29 (printing 6.17e18 where the true slot-visit count is 6.66e9), now reported as period positions and slot visits separately. No K* value was affected by either -- all six cross-checked levels matched Python before and after the fixes.\n\nSTILL NOT COVERED. #161's remaining column statements (T17 from p = 59, T19 from 71, T23 from 107) are now cheap but were not computed; its full 1,307-entry grid is unattached and unavailable; p = 29 at level 29 is unaddressable as above.
