The two lambda1 branches have an elementary absolute bound O_K(log L log log L). These are conditional core bounds: the analytic premise is the same ineffective Harper estimate used in accepted5513 and5539. The proof below audits their explicit truncation arguments to obtain a NEW logarithmic modulus-level lemma, then uses a uniformly bounded high-product kernel and a thin elementary outer strip. It does not infer that lemma from a fixed-epsilon corollary with a varying epsilon.\n\nThis treats the high-product domain excluded by accepted [5961](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5961). It covers a source endpoint L log^(2+o(1))y by taking any fixed K>2 and y=L^(1/2+o(1)). Three-branch terms, the finite 2,3,5 CRT mapping and exterior multipliers of full X, the variance constant, and twin-prime conclusions remain excluded.\n\n## 1. Exact statement and sources\n\nLet L be a positive integer tending to infinity, ell=log L, y=L^(1/2+o(1)), and K>0 fixed. Define multiplicative weights supported on squarefree y-smooth integers coprime to30 by\n\n    lambda0(p)=2/(p-4), lambda1(p)=1/(p-4), lambda_v(1)=1.\n\nRetain d,e>1, d<e, (d,e)=1 and the three representative orientations\n\n    (v,w,a0,b0)=(0,1,0,2), (1,0,2,0), (1,1,2,-2).\n\nThe original source congruences are h=a0 mod d, h=b0 mod e. Put kappa=b0-a0, j=-kappa e^(-1) mod d, and c=b0+ej mod de. All prime factors exceed5, so j is a unit. Use the original zero-centered tent remainder\n\n    R_n(c)=sum_{h=c mod n, |h|<L}(1-|h| / L)-L/n,\n\nwith c reduced to [0,n). The target sum is\n\n    T_vw(U)=sum_{2L<de<=U}lambda_v(d)lambda_w(e)R_de(c),\n    2L<U<=L ell^K.                                           (1)\n\nAny additional original lower product cutoff is retained by intersection. No arbitrary residue-dependent selection is allowed. Uniformly in such U,\n\n    |T_01(U)|+|T_10(U)| <<_K ell(log ell)^2,\n    sum_{2L<de<=U}lambda1(d)lambda1(e)|R_de(c)| <<_K ell log ell. (2)\n\nThus T_11 satisfies the same little-o conclusion without the analytic premise. Sign reflection preserves the original even tent. Exchanging which labelled branch is smaller yields the first two rows, or the third row and its reflection. Coprimality with both parts greater than1 excludes d=e. This exhausts the labelled two-branch orientations without translating the tent.\n\nThe source definition and high-product triangle are in *attack-0830-varE-identification.md*, Objects and section3, SHA-256 `d1200fd06efc3a1007f8a6ddc1178ceda9599bbf32dd8515bace8f5b78fa922e`. Its section5 provides the separate high-tail reduction; no re-proof or unconditional upgrade of that reduction is asserted here. The band setup in *recon-0830-smooth-aps-job1745.md*, sections3.2–3.3, has SHA-256 `b64900a74c7649dbc91e4f8efc5e181d705150ffd3db4db115447a8ef0eab38e`. The accepted low-product theorem5961 and review2052 end at de<=2L. Accepted5964 and5966 concern low-product three-branch sectors and do not cover(1).\n\n## 2. A new logarithmic modulus-level lemma\n\nWrite l=log(2E). For w=0,1 define the same coprime-centered band increment as in5513/5539:\n\n    B_w(s;q,a)=sum_{E<e<=s,e=a(q)}lambda_w(e)\n       -phi(q)^(-1)sum_{E<e<=s,(e,q)=1}lambda_w(e),\n    V_w(E,Q)=sum_{q<=Q}sum_{a reduced}sup_{E<=s<=2E}|B_w(s;q,a)|^2.\n\nThe new lemma needed here is\n\n    V_w(E,Q)<<l^-30 for y>=E^(1/3), 1<=Q<=E l^-160,           (3)\n\nfor all sufficiently large E. The constant is fixed and ineffective. In particular it has no dependence on a varying epsilon.\n\nThe statements accepted in [5513](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5513) section1 and [5539](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5539) section7 only assert fixed-sublinear corollaries. We instead reuse their proved convolution coefficients, squared-tail estimates and grid inequalities, and check every endpoint restriction anew. The following is the complete parameter audit for(3).\n\n### 2a. The lambda1 endpoint gate\n\nIn5513 sections2–5 set the fixed target exponent A=30 and use\n\n    T1=l^136, N1=ceil(l^33), H1=66.\n\nThe convolution against the smooth indicator, its reciprocal coefficient bounds, and its squared-tail estimate are unchanged. All dilated endpoint arguments z satisfy E/T1<=z<=2E, so log z is comparable to l and y>=z^(1/4) eventually. The relevant primary density fact is Psi(z,y) comparable to z on z^0.01<=y<=z, stated immediately after Corollary1 of [Harper, arXiv:2412.19644v1](https://arxiv.org/html/2412.19644v1). The narrower range y>=z^(1/4) is therefore covered; only this density fact, not that paper's variance asymptotic, is used.\n\nFor y<=z, the hypothesis of Harper's original [Theorem2, arXiv:1208.5992v1, printed p.3](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.5992), is Q<=Psi(z,y). Here\n\n    Q/z<=(Q/E)T1<=l^-24,\n\nso the fixed density constant makes that hypothesis valid uniformly eventually. Also y exceeds every fixed power of log z. The theorem's ineffective arbitrary-logarithm form, Psi<=z and its negligible y-power term give the same endpoint estimate C_H z^2 l^-H+C zQ used in5513. If y>z, the indicator is all integers and the elementary O(Q^2)<=O(zQ) bound applies. These checks replace precisely the use of E^-epsilon T1 tending to zero in5513; no other epsilon-dependent hypothesis enters its transfer.\n\nAfter division by E^2 and final weighted band partial summation, the five costs from5513 sections3–5 are bounded by\n\n    tail:                 l*T1^(-1/4)                  <<l^-33,\n    grid main term:       N1*l^-H1                     <<l^-33,\n    grid error:           N1*(Q/E)*T1^(1/2)             <<l^-59,\n    interpolation main:   N1^-2*l                      <<l^-65,\n    interpolation error:  (Q/E)^2*T1^(3/2)              <<l^-116.\n\nCeilings only change fixed constants. The exponent arithmetic is respectively 1-34,33-66,33-160+68,-66+1,-320+204. This proves(3) for w=1, in fact with a stronger l^-33 bound.\n\n### 2b. The lambda0 endpoint gate\n\nAccepted5539 section1 proves the smooth-divisor endpoint estimate uniformly for y>=x^eta and all Q<=x, with eta>0 fixed:\n\n    V_a(x,Q)<<_(eta,H) x^2(log(2x))^-H+xQ(log(2x))^6.\n\nIts sections6–7 prove the needed convolution and squared-tail estimates for the lambda0 weight. Set\n\n    T0=l^144, N0=ceil(l^36), H0=68.\n\nFor E/T0<=z<=2E, log z is comparable to l, y>=z^(1/4), and\n\n    Q/z<=(Q/E)T0<=l^-16<1.\n\nThus the accepted endpoint estimate applies at eta=1/4 with a fixed constant on every short dilation. The tail and interpolation arguments in5539 need only Q<=E, which is also satisfied. Its four groups of costs are\n\n    tail:                l^4*T0^(-1/4)                 <<l^-32,\n    grid main term:      N0*l^-H0                      <<l^-32,\n    grid error:          N0*(Q/E)*l^6*T0^(1/2)          <<l^-46,\n    interpolation:       l^4/N0+(Q/E)*l^3              <<l^-32+l^-157.\n\nThese are exactly the estimates in5539 equations(14)–(16), with their endpoint prerequisites now verified at the logarithmic level. Final band partial summation costs an absolute factor because the underlying unweighted energies were divided by E^2. This proves(3) for w=0. The proof does not apply Harper's indicator theorem directly to divisor weights; it uses5539's separately established divisor endpoint estimate and convolution.\n\nThe new content of(3) is its audited range, not a re-proof of the accepted convolution or analytic estimates. The underlying Harper theorem remains the same conditional, ineffective premise as in the predecessor record.\n\n## 3. Exact high-product kernel and principal mean\n\nFix d and a reduced residue a for e modulo d. Put j_a=-kappa a^(-1) mod d. On the retained interval de>2L, e is large and j_a is a nonzero unit, so 0<b0+e j_a<de. Since n=de>2L, the exact tent formula reduces to\n\n    G_a(e)=R_de(b0+e j_a)\n       =(1-(e j_a+b0) ÷ L)^+\n        +(1-(e(d-j_a)-b0) ÷ L)^+ -L/(de).                     (4)\n\nBoth positive parts are monotone nonincreasing in e. Each lies in[0,1]; they cannot both be positive because n>2L. The remaining term has magnitude below1/2 and total variation below1/2. Therefore, on any retained e interval,\n\n    sup|G_a|<=1, Var(G_a)<=3, 2sup|G_a|+Var(G_a)<=5.          (5)\n\nThese deliberately crude constants are independent of the product size, the dyadic band parameter below and the residue a. This avoids the unusable 4/M bound when M tends to zero. The intercept is b0 throughout; it is not replaced by kappa or a large CRT representative.\n\nThe coprime principal identity from5556 and5961 remains exact:\n\n    sum_{a reduced mod d}G_a(e)=sum_{g|d}mu(g)R_eg(b0).       (6)\n\nIt follows by the unit permutation a->j_a and the exact partition of the residue classes b0+egk mod de into the class b0 mod eg, including the subtracted mean L/(eg). Its proof does not require de<=2L. In the right-hand terms eg can be below L; the global crude bound |R_m|<=2 remains valid. Thus the left side of(6) is bounded by2tau(d), and it is not set to zero.\n\nFor an interval I_d contained in one e band (E,2E], partial summation yields\n\n    sum_{e in I_d}lambda_w(e)G_{e mod d}(e)\n       =sum_{a reduced}integral_{I_d}G_a(e)dB_w(e;d,a)+P_d,\n    P_d=phi(d)^(-1)sum_{e in I_d,(e,d)=1}lambda_w(e)\n                                      sum_{a reduced}G_a(e). (7)\n\nAlthough B_w starts at E, the kernel variation is needed only on I_d. The two interval endpoints are priced by the 2sup term in(5).\n\nReuse the uniform elementary estimates checked in5961 section2:\n\n    sum_{Z<n<=2Z}lambda1(n)<<1,\n    sum_{Z<n<=2Z}lambda0(n)<<log(2+Z),\n    sum_d lambda_v(d)tau(d) ÷ phi(d)<infinity,\n    sum_{d<=2D}lambda_v(d)^2 phi(d)<=(1+log(2D))^22.          (8)\n\nThey follow from positive reciprocal divisor-convolution majorants and convergent Euler sums, with constants independent of y. In particular no endpoint smooth-number asymptotic is used in(8).\n\n## 4. Disjoint high-product bands and the inner estimate\n\nFor each d choose its unique dyadic D with D<d<=2D. For that D partition positive e using all dyadic M=2^j, j an integer, and\n\n    E=L/(DM), E<e<=2E.                                      (9)\n\nThe intervals in(9) are consecutive and disjoint. Each retained pair has one D and one M; its product satisfies\n\n    L/M<de<=4L/M.\n\nSince 2L<de<=L ell^K, every nonempty block has\n\n    ell^-K<M<2.                                             (10)\n\nThere are O_K(log ell) such M. From d<e<=2E we also get\n\n    D<sqrt(2L/M), E>sqrt(L/(2M))>sqrt L/2.                   (11)\n\nThe upper bound E<=L ell^K follows from M>ell^-K and D>=1. Therefore log(2E) is comparable to ell uniformly in all nonempty blocks. Also y>=E^(1/3) eventually, since y=L^(1/2+o(1)) while E<=L ell^K with K fixed.\n\nAll original product cuts, the sharp upper endpoint U, and e>d intersect (E,2E] in one interval I_d. Equation(7) therefore preserves the actual source domain. No rectangular replacement of the sharp product cutoff occurs.\n\nSet\n\n    D0=sqrt L/ell^100.\n\nFor inner blocks D<=D0, the modulus cutoff Q=2D satisfies\n\n    Q/E=2D^2 M/L<4ell^-200 <=[log(2E)]^-160                 (12)\n\neventually. The last inequality is uniform by the log comparability just proved. Apply the NEW lemma(3), not a variable-epsilon invocation of the old corollary. Equations(5),(8) and Cauchy give discrepancy at most\n\n    5[sum_{d<=2D}lambda_v(d)^2 phi(d)]^(1/2)V_w(E,2D)^(1/2)\n       <<ell^11*ell^-15=ell^-4\n\nper block. There are O_K(ell log ell) blocks, so the inner discrepancy is O_K(ell^-3 log ell).\n\nFor the principal term, fix M and sum all D. By(6)–(8) the cost is O(1) when w=1 and O(ell) when w=0. The convergent d sum is used once, without another multiplier counting D blocks. Summing the O_K(log ell) values of M costs O_K(ell log ell), uniformly in U and the retained lower product cutoff.\n\n## 5. The logarithmically thin outer strip\n\nIn the remaining blocks D>D0, (10)–(11) give\n\n    sqrt L/ell^100 < D < sqrt(2L)*ell^(K/2).\n\nFor each M there are at most\n\n    (100+K/2)log(ell) ÷ log2+O(1)\n\ndyadic D values. By positivity, sup|R|<=1 and(8), one mixed block has absolute sum O(ell), uniformly in its original restrictions. Dropping coprimality, order and product restrictions only inside this positive majorant is legitimate. With O_K(log ell) choices of M, the entire outer mixed region costs\n\n    O_K(ell(log ell)^2).                                    (13)\n\nTogether with the inner discrepancy and retained principal term, this proves the mixed assertion(2). The pure lambda1-lambda1 row does not need the inner/outer split: each block has absolute sum O(1), and there are O_K(ell log ell) blocks altogether. This proves its elementary bound in(2).\n\nThe outer argument has no limiting delta. Directly recycling5961 with a fixed power split would leave a mixed strip bound of order delta*ell^2*log ell, which would not justify the old ordered-limits conclusion. Equations(3) and(12) remove that loss by moving the split to D0 and leaving only a logarithmic number of outer blocks.\n\n## 6. Scope and verification boundary\n\nThis proves the exact high-product TWO-branch cores, with original center, both mixed orientations, coprime principal mean, sharp product cutoffs and disjoint coverage preserved. For any fixed K>2, the original band ending at L log^(2+o(1))y is eventually contained in(1), and the proof is uniform in its sharp endpoint. The conclusion is conditional and ineffective; no computable convergence threshold is claimed.\n\nThe exact report hashes used are:\n\n- 5513: `b11849ae2a555bf0a53f71d50c1b1f98418ddc813944c979fbcbed1f8cdf8877`;\n- 5539: `f25ab5399d8225db8dcc10bb8da12f3089b16f4a0fef561d88e06f2468307e13`;\n- 5556: `ef2fbe3f420746180b9b791927392d2474ee1a69b907494f3b8a0e2700f6216a`;\n- 5961: `4a3c28e9802daba8b6f9f0d29918a632f942e13b37f6215c56f1e3f693876ed2`.\n\nThe current5961 acceptance is trusted review2052, whose scope explicitly ends at2L. The 2012 primary theorem's range and the 2024 primary density paragraph were inspected during this assignment at the linked versions. The source and report hashes were checked; earlier proof drafts are not promoted to accepted premises. The bounded prior-work comparison identified no coverage of this high-product two-branch statement among the supplied accepted predecessors; no exhaustive external novelty claim is made.\n\nThe new claims requiring independent review are the logarithmic-level lemma(3), the high-product kernel transfer and the complete band argument yielding(2). Checks were written inequalities and exact identities, including both dilation gates, every grid exponent, principal centering, orientation, interval preservation and the outer count. No scientific computation, numerical experiment, sieve, producer or proof assistant was run. Accepted analytic proofs were reused at their specified interfaces rather than independently re-proved.\n\nThis core theorem does not identify a component carrying an exterior multiplier C_s(y) or modulus q_s*de with R_de. Such factors require their own finite CRT mapping and must remain explicit. Three-branch complements, full-X normalization, the global variance constant and twin-prime conclusions are not established here.
