The result is conditional on Bettin–Chandee, arXiv:1502.00769v1, Theorem 1, and the accepted CRT, coefficient and Fejer premises of returns 5795 and 5964. No scientific computation or formal verification ran.\n\n## 1. Exact domain and result\n\nWrite ell=log L, a=d0, b=d+, c=d-, n=abc. Use precisely the original CRT class 0 modulo a, +2 modulo b and -2 modulo c, with the Fejer tent centered at zero and the same remainder R_n as in return 5964. All three parts exceed one, are pairwise coprime, squarefree, y-smooth with y=L^(1/2+o(1)), and coprime to 30. The weights are lambda0(p)=2/(p-4), lambda1(p)=1/(p-4), multiplicatively extended on this squarefree support. Retain\n\n    L/ell^2 < n <= 2L,        n/d_i > L^(2/5) for every branch.\n\nFix constants alpha>0 and rho>0. Let A=L^alpha, Q=L^rho. Let U_(alpha,rho) be the subset where a<=A and b,c have distinct dyadic bins (B,2B],(C,2C], with\n\n    R=max(B/C,C/B) <= Q.\n\nThe bins are labelled by b,c, so each triple is counted once. If\n\n    65 alpha < 1,                  55 alpha + 5 rho < 1,       (1)\n\nput Delta=min(1-65 alpha,1-55 alpha-5 rho)>0. Then for every fixed eta with 0<eta<Delta/40,\n\n    T_(alpha,rho) = sum_U lambda0(a)lambda1(b)lambda1(c)R_n(CRT)\n                  = O(ell^-1) + O(L^-eta).                   (2)\n\nThis is a core estimate; exterior source multipliers remain exterior. The example\n\n    alpha=1/80, rho=1/20, eta=1/1000                         (3)\n\nis allowed. It enlarges both cutoffs from 5964's alpha=rho=1/100. More significantly, the crude orientation-independent bound used there has a positive first exponent +1/640 at (3), whereas the present bound has worst first exponent -1/640 before epsilon. Thus the changed method proves a range which that crude bound does not certify.\n\nThe same-bin sector, larger a, ratios beyond Q, other source bands, full normalization, variance constant and twin-prime conclusions are not part of (2). No assertion is made that U carries most of the residual mass.\n\n## 2. Provenance and the exact changed premise\n\nReturn 5964, report SHA-256 15aeaf408b115a10b4ea3e39e92674dc37b5c5290282096e5b8b74f449f4a6cf, is accepted at proven by review 2053, explicitly conditional on the external theorem and return 5795. Its theorem is restricted to alpha=rho=1/100. Its general-rho remark is a limit of its displayed estimate, not an already proved general theorem. Recorded applicability screening 5988 explicitly preserves this distinction and supplies no new proof. The inspected work-state and coordination messages supplied no matching orientation investigation; this is a bounded overlap check, not exhaustive novelty certification.\n\nThe new step is to select the smaller of the two permitted length sums box by box, then sum the resulting TWO a-moments rather than bound both by the larger a-moment. The accepted phase identities and tail are reused at their precise scope. The uniformity checks needed for new alpha,rho are included below.\n\n## 3. Why the orientation choice is legitimate and optimal within this pair\n\nSet X=inv(ac) divided by b, Y=inv(ab) divided by c, Z=inv(bc) divided by a. From the accepted CRT idempotent identity X+Y+Z=1/n modulo one, the Fourier phase has the two exact expressions\n\n    -2kX+2kY = -4kX-2kZ+2k/n\n             =  4kY+2kZ-2k/n                    (modulo one). (4)\n\nFor fixed unit classes b=r,c=s modulo a, Z is the constant inv(rs) divided by a. If C<B choose m=ac,v=b, theta=-4k and the first expression. If B<C choose m=ab,v=c, theta=+4k and the second. Thus m is a times the branch in the smaller bin, and v is the other branch. The scalar residue phase has modulus one; the remaining rational phase e(plus or minus 2k/n) belongs to the product weight.\n\nLet x=min(B,C), z=max(B,C), so R=z/x and P=aBC=axz. The chosen lower-end length sum is\n\n    S=ax+z = sqrt(P)*(sqrt(a/R)+sqrt(R/a)).                  (5)\n\nThe alternative is az+x, and (az+x)-(ax+z)=(a-1)(z-x)>=0. The two available theorem bounds have identical norm products, product lengths and positive powers of the length sum, so (5) minimizes both of them. This establishes optimality ONLY among the two exact transformations in (4), not among other analytic methods.\n\nThe choice depends only on a and the dyadic box, not on residues or individual summands. It therefore does not introduce a joint coefficient. In the stretched sequence, alpha_m=lambda1(m/a) on the designated multiples of a. Its squared norm is the sum over the original branch, not an interval-length gain from stretching. The accepted one-dimensional bound gives\n\n    ||alpha||_2 ||beta||_2 << (BC)^(-1/2)=sqrt(a/P).\n\nIndividual smoothness/squarefreeness restrictions and coprimality with a stay in each sequence. The theorem's (m,v)=1 imposes the remaining coprimality. Summing the separate residue-class norms by Cauchy costs phi(a) once, just as in 5795; no cancellation between their scalars is asserted.\n\n## 4. Per-box theorem bound and the two moments\n\nThe primary Theorem 1 was read at its published v1 statement. Use its numerator parameter 1 supported at the single integer 1, theta=plus or minus 4k, and upper-end support parameters 2ax,2z. Constants of two do not change powers. For |k|<=H=ceil(ell^4), MN is comparable to P and the theorem's extra factor is bounded on P>>L/ell^2. The resulting two terms, before the residue and outside a-weight sums, are\n\n    sqrt(a/P) * P^(7/20+epsilon) * S^(1/4),\n    sqrt(a/P) * P^(3/8+epsilon) * S^(1/8).\n\nUsing (u+v)^t<=u^t+v^t for 0<t<1 in (5), these are at most a constant times\n\n    P^(-1/40+epsilon) * [a^(5/8)R^(-1/8)+a^(3/8)R^(1/8)],   (6)\n    P^(-1/16+epsilon) * [a^(9/16)R^(-1/16)+a^(7/16)R^(1/16)].(7)\n\nAt R=1 the leading powers agree with the accepted equal-bin ledger. Both terms are retained; the reciprocal-ratio term cannot be discarded merely because a large ratio is permitted elsewhere in the domain.\n\nThe accepted positive majorant for f0(a)=a lambda0(a) gives sum_(a<=A)f0(a)<<A log(2A). Consequently, for each fixed s>=0 used here,\n\n    sum_(a<=A)lambda0(a)phi(a)a^s << A^(s+1)log(2A).\n\nSince R>=1 and R<=Q, (6)-(7), after the a-sum, have the factors\n\n    A^(13/8) + A^(11/8)Q^(1/8),\n    A^(25/16) + A^(23/16)Q^(1/16),                          (8)\n\nrespectively. This is the gain over multiplying A^(13/8) by Q^(1/8).\n\n## 5. Exact constraints, cutoffs and global error ledger\n\nEvery box that intersects the sharp source window satisfies L/(4ell^2)<P<2L and all its products lie in (P,4P], hence below 8L. From (1), alpha<1/65 and rho<1/5. Therefore on the actual restricted window\n\n    bc=n/a > L^(1-alpha) divided by ell^2,\n    min(ab,ac) >= sqrt(a*n/(2R)) >> L^((1-rho)/2) divided by ell.\n\nHere max(b/c,c/b)<=2R and a>=7 were used. Both lower bounds exceed L^(2/5) for sufficiently large L, with a fixed positive margin. Thus the complementary-product constraints are automatic in this stated domain; retaining them in its definition does not require a hidden joint mask. No such deletion is asserted when rho approaches or crosses 1/5 without a fixed margin. The strict conditions also imply both branch lengths tend to infinity, since min(B,C)^2=P/(aR)>>L^(1-alpha-rho) divided by ell^2.\n\nFor a sharp product endpoint, the accepted half-integer Perron argument is uniform on every new box: the integer product and half-integer threshold are separated by at least 1/2, while products are O(L). With sigma=1/ell and height T=L^20, the error is O(L/T) per positive bin mass. The imaginary powers preserve separated coefficient norms; real powers cost O(1), and the integral costs O(ell). Empty/full endpoint cases are immediate. The sum of lambda1 on each individual bin is O(1), so summing Perron errors over disjoint residue classes uses total positive mass O(1), without another phi(a).\n\nFor each sign, the product weight is K_L(k/x)e(plus or minus 2k/x) divided by x. On x in (P,4P], its supremum plus variation remains O(ell^8): t=L/x<=4ell^2, |k|=O(ell^4), and |k| divided by x=o(1). The accepted sinc derivative calculation is unchanged by conjugating the rational phase. Product partial summation therefore preserves the exact sharp interval with this cost. No arbitrary joint coefficient is inserted into Theorem 1.\n\nThere are at most O(ell^2) labelled B,C pairs for each a; this conservative count includes both orientations. The retained frequencies cost O(ell^4), Perron O(ell), variation O(ell^8), and the a-moments one logarithm. Replacing P by L/(4ell^2) adds less than one further logarithmic power if epsilon is chosen small. Thus the uniform low-frequency bound is\n\n    O_epsilon(ell^24 * {\n      L^(-1/40+epsilon)[A^(13/8)+A^(11/8)Q^(1/8)]\n      +L^(-1/16+epsilon)[A^(25/16)+A^(23/16)Q^(1/16)]})\n      +O(L^-10).                                            (9)\n\nThe first listed logarithmic powers total 2+4+1+8+1=16, so 24 is sufficient. The Perron error separately costs at most (L/T)ell^16: sum lambda0(a)<<ell^2, two bin indices, frequencies and variation. This is O(L^-10). Errors are not silently set to zero.\n\nFinally, the accepted symmetric-frequency tail uses a positive A4 majorant over the ENTIRE source core. Consequently it bounds the omitted frequencies over any subset here by O(ell^3/H)=O(ell^-1), without an alpha- or rho-dependent loss. This subset argument is why no old same-bin restriction is transferred to the tail.\n\n## 6. The parameter region and explicit strict gain\n\nThe four powers of L in (9), before epsilon, are\n\n    -(1-65 alpha)/40,\n    -(1-55 alpha-5 rho)/40,\n    -(1-25 alpha)/16,\n    -(1-23 alpha-rho)/16.                                  (10)\n\nThe last two decay margins exceed their corresponding first two: their differences are (3+5 alpha)/80 and (3-5 alpha+5 rho)/80. Both are positive under (1). Hence (1) is a sufficient region for all four terms, and for every eta<Delta/40 one may choose epsilon>0 below Delta/40-eta and absorb ell^24 into the remaining margin. Together with the tail this proves (2).\n\nAt alpha=1/80,rho=1/20, the four exponents are -3/640,-1/640,-11/256,-53/1280. The worst is -1/640. Taking epsilon=1/10000 leaves a margin beyond eta=1/1000 for the fixed logarithms. The older crude factor A^(13/8)Q^(1/8)L^(-1/40) instead has exponent +1/640 at these same parameters. The improvement is therefore due to the orientation and smaller second moment, not just a more generous statement of the old proof.\n\nAt fixed alpha=1/100 the present sufficient upper boundary is rho<9/100; the former crude ledger required rho<7/100. These are boundaries of the two displayed upper bounds. Equality is not claimed, nor is failure outside (1) a refutation of other methods or a lower bound on T. In particular the zero-branch threshold 1/65 still arises from the low-imbalance part of this rectangular domain. No whole-core cancellation follows.\n\n## Sources and limits\n\n- [Return 5964](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5964), accepted review 2053, exact report hash above.\n- [Return 5795](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5795), accepted review 2023, for the reused CRT, positive coefficient majorants, Fejer tail and product-cutoff estimates; pinned source d1200fd06efc3a1007f8a6ddc1178ceda9599bbf32dd8515bace8f5b78fa922e.\n- [Return 5988](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5988), recorded applicability screening, used only for coverage.\n- [Bettin–Chandee, arXiv:1502.00769v1, Theorem 1, page 2](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.00769v1), exact primary interface; its proof was not audited.\n\nIndependent review should check both phase signs, boxwise orientation, stretched-sequence norms, both a-moments, complementary-constraint deletion, sharp-cutoff uniformity and the four exponents.
