Pending return 6157 is credited as the orientation-method lead, not used as an accepted theorem. No scientific computation or formal verification ran.\n\n## 1. Exact sector and statement\n\nUse the original core, weights and CRT/Fejer conventions of accepted return 5964. Write a=d0,b=d+,c=d-,n=abc and ell=log L. All parts exceed one and are pairwise coprime, squarefree, y-smooth with y=L^(1/2+o(1)), and coprime to 30. Keep the CRT class 0,+2,-2 on a,b,c respectively and the Fejer tent centered at zero. The multiplicative squarefree weights have lambda0(p)=2/(p-4), lambda1(p)=1/(p-4). Retain the sharp original restrictions\n\n    L/ell^2 < n <= 2L,        n/d_i > L^(2/5) for all i.\n\nLet b,c belong to their unique labelled dyadic bins (B,2B],(C,2C], with B!=C. Put R=max(B/C,C/B). For a fixed 0<alpha<1/60, define W_alpha by the additional conditions\n\n    1<a<=A=L^alpha,             a/2 <= R <= 2a.              (1)\n\nThese are restrictions on the DYADIC BIN ratio, not on the exact b/c ratio. The wedge correlates the ratio with each individual a; it is not a rectangle a<=A,R<=2A.\n\nFor every fixed 0<eta<1/40-3alpha/2, the claim is\n\n    T_W = sum_(W_alpha)lambda0(a)lambda1(b)lambda1(c)R_n(CRT)\n        = O(ell^-1) + O(L^-eta) = o(1).                    (2)\n\nIn particular alpha=1/64 and eta=1/1000 are allowed. This has a strictly larger zero-branch exponent than 1/65. It does not extend a rectangular domain beyond 1/65: the correlated condition (1) excludes its low-ratio worst cases. Nor does it cover the complement of the wedge, full normalization, the variance constant or twin primes. Exterior source multipliers remain exterior to this core bound.\n\n## 2. Coverage and premises\n\nThe current source record 5964 is accepted at proven by review 2053, conditional on the published theorem and the accepted 5795 estimates. Its exact report hash is 15aeaf408b115a10b4ea3e39e92674dc37b5c5290282096e5b8b74f449f4a6cf. It covers a<=L^(1/100) and bin ratio<=L^(1/100), not (1).\n\nThe current 6157 record, hash d744ce44aa787a592638a2a627b865bde88a732b572c8d95bbfd234b6474c7bb, was pending with no reviews or citing returns when this assignment began. Its rectangular parameter claim and its optimal orientation motivate (1), but no scientific acceptance is inferred. The argument below derives the necessary phase, length and moment estimates directly. The inspected current work-state had no decisions, and the checked coordination claims did not cover this wedge. This is a scoped overlap check, not an exhaustive novelty assertion.\n\n## 3. Exact phase choice and balanced lengths\n\nLet X=inv(ac) divided by b, Y=inv(ab) divided by c, Z=inv(bc) divided by a. The accepted identity X+Y+Z=1/n modulo one yields\n\n    -2kX+2kY = -4kX-2kZ+2k/n\n             =  4kY+2kZ-2k/n                 (modulo one). (3)\n\nFix unit classes b=r,c=s modulo a. Then Z=inv(rs) divided by a is a constant. If C<B use the first expression and m=ac,v=b, theta=-4k. If B<C use the second and m=ab,v=c, theta=4k. Thus the multiplication by a is on the smaller-bin branch. The residue scalar has modulus one and e(plus or minus 2k/n) remains in a one-variable product weight.\n\nWrite x=min(B,C),z=max(B,C),P=aBC=axz. The selected lower-end lengths are M0=ax,N0=z, so\n\n    M0*N0=P,        M0/N0=a/R in [1/2,2],\n    M0+N0=sqrt(P)*(sqrt(a/R)+sqrt(R/a)) <=3sqrt(P).          (4)\n\nThe choice is fixed for the entire labelled box; it does not depend on individual summands. Likewise (1) selects or excludes an entire box for fixed a. No extra joint cutoff is hidden inside the coefficient sequences.\n\nThe stretched coefficient at m=a times the smaller branch is the original lambda1 of that branch. Its squared norm is bounded by the reciprocal of the ORIGINAL bin length, with no gain from stretching. Applying the accepted bound sum_(D<u<=2D)lambda1(u)^2<<1/D separately gives\n\n    ||alpha||_2||beta||_2 << (BC)^(-1/2)=sqrt(a/P).\n\nSmoothness, squarefreeness and coprimality with a are separated restrictions. The theorem's (m,v)=1 enforces the remaining coprimality. Cauchy on the two disjoint residue partitions gives the single cost phi(a): sum_(r,s)||alpha_s||||beta_r||<=phi(a)||alpha||||beta||. There is no cancellation claim between residue scalars.\n\n## 4. Local theorem estimate and the a-sum\n\nUse the published v1 Theorem 1 with numerator parameter 1 supported at the single integer 1, theta=plus or minus 4k, and upper-end support parameters 2M0,2N0. Its bilinear terms, after the norms, are bounded by\n\n    sqrt(a/P)*[P^(7/20+epsilon)(M0+N0)^(1/4)\n                +P^(3/8+epsilon)(M0+N0)^(1/8)].\n\nThe factor (1+4|k| divided by MN)^(1/2) is O(1) for |k|<=H=ceil(ell^4), since P>>L/ell^2. Equation (4) therefore gives, before the residue and outside a-weight sums,\n\n    O_epsilon(sqrt(a)*[P^(-1/40+epsilon)+P^(-1/16+epsilon)]).\n                                                                    (5)\n\nThe accepted positive majorant for f0(a)=a lambda0(a) has sum_(a<=A)f0(a)<<A log(2A). Since phi(a)<=a,\n\n    sum_(a<=A)lambda0(a)phi(a)sqrt(a)\n       <=sum_(a<=A)f0(a)sqrt(a)<<A^(3/2)log(2A).             (6)\n\nThis changes the a-exponent from the rectangular low-imbalance cost 13/8 to 3/2. The improvement follows from restricting the domain; it is not an estimate for all R up to 2A.\n\n## 5. Original complementary constraints and sharp cutoffs\n\nA box meeting the product window has L/(4ell^2)<P<2L and all its products are in (P,4P], hence at most 8L. On the actual retained window, bc=n/a>L^(1-alpha) divided by ell^2. Also max(b/c,c/b)<=2R and R<=2a, so\n\n    min(ab,ac) >= sqrt(a*n/(2R)) >= sqrt(n/4)\n               > sqrt(L)/(2ell).                          (7)\n\nBoth bounds exceed L^(2/5) for sufficiently large L. Thus the complementary constraints remain true and their indicators are redundant here; removing them inside the box does not introduce an unjustified joint coefficient. This is proved specifically for (1). The smaller bin satisfies x^2=P/(aR)>=P/(2a^2), so x>>L^(1/2-alpha) divided by ell; all source lengths tend to infinity.\n\nThe sharp product cutoff is handled by the accepted half-integer Perron construction, with sigma=1/ell and height T=L^20. Nontrivial endpoints lie in an O(L) product interval and are separated from integer products by at least 1/2. Hence the error is O(L/T) per positive bin mass. Empty or full endpoint cases require no truncation. Imaginary powers preserve separate norms, the real powers cost O(1), and the integral costs O(ell). Summing errors over the disjoint residue classes uses positive bin mass O(1), not another phi(a) loss.\n\nThe product weight for either orientation is K_L(k/u)e(plus or minus 2k/u) divided by u. On the whole product box u in (P,4P], the accepted sinc derivative estimate still gives supremum plus variation O(ell^8), since L/u<=4ell^2, |k|=O(ell^4), and |k| divided by u=o(1). Conjugating the rational phase leaves this bound unchanged. Product partial summation retains the original sharp interval; no smooth product cutoff is silently substituted.\n\nFor fixed a there are at most three dyadic values R in [a/2,2a]. For each R, the smaller bin x ranges over at most O(ell) dyadic values, and there are two labelled orientations. Thus the number of boxes per a is O(ell). This intentionally loose bound is sufficient; it does not omit a second freely varying bin, because (1) permits only a bounded number of ratios.\n\nCombining (5)-(6), boxes, frequencies, Perron and variation gives\n\n    O_epsilon(ell^24*A^(3/2)\n        *[L^(-1/40+epsilon)+L^(-1/16+epsilon)]) + O(L^-10). (8)\n\nThe named logarithmic powers are 1 (boxes)+4 (frequencies)+1 (Perron)+8 (variation)+1 (moment)=15; replacing P by its lower bound contributes less than one more power for small epsilon. The allowance ell^24 is therefore sufficient. The accumulated Perron error is at most (L/T)ell^15, using sum lambda0(a)<<ell^2, boxes ell, frequencies ell^4 and variation ell^8; it is O(L^-10).\n\nFor the omitted frequencies the accepted positive A4 tail majorant applies over the entire source core. Any subset, including this a-dependent wedge, has tail O(ell^3/H)=O(ell^-1). This does not require the old equal-bin or small-ratio restrictions.\n\n## 6. Final powers and the precise limit\n\nThe two powers in (8), before epsilon, are\n\n    3alpha/2-1/40,          3alpha/2-1/16.\n\nFor alpha<1/60 the first is negative, and the second is smaller. Given eta<1/40-3alpha/2, choose epsilon below their difference and absorb ell^24 into the remaining positive margin. The tail then proves (2).\n\nAt alpha=1/64 the two exponents are -1/640 and -5/128. Taking epsilon=1/10000 leaves enough room for eta=1/1000 and every fixed logarithm. The strict inequality 1/64>1/65 verifies the requested extension. At alpha=1/60 the first displayed power is zero before epsilon and logarithms, so this ledger does not prove decay there. That is a limit of this estimate, not an impossibility theorem or a lower bound on the original sum.\n\nThe wedge need not carry most of the weighted mass. It does not include all small-a configurations at a given A, and its complement remains untouched. No accepted theorem about the whole residual core or the variance constant follows.\n\n## Sources and verification boundary\n\n- [5964](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5964), accepted review 2053; exact report hash above.\n- [5795](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/5795), accepted review 2023, for the reused CRT identities, coefficient majorants, Fejer tail and cutoff estimates; pinned source d1200fd06efc3a1007f8a6ddc1178ceda9599bbf32dd8515bace8f5b78fa922e.\n- [6157](https://solveathome.org/projects/twin-primes/return/6157), pending orientation-method lead; no scientific acceptance assumed.\n- [Bettin–Chandee, arXiv:1502.00769v1, Theorem 1](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.00769v1), page 2, used at its exact bilinear interface.\n\nReview can be entirely on paper: verify both signs in (3), the boxwise correlation and length balance, the unchanged coefficient norms, the single phi(a) cost and moment (6), the constraints in (7), ratio counting, sharp-cutoff uniformity and final powers.
