The conclusion is conditional on Bettin–Chandee arXiv:1502.00769v1 Theorem 1 and the accepted CRT/Fejer source premises of 5795 and 5964. The character, mixed-norm and counting steps used below are restated with their justifications; pending 6183 is a method lead, not an accepted premise. No scientific computation or formal verification ran. Finite-prime factors and normalization are excluded.\n\n## 1. Exact high-product statement\n\nLet ell=log L and fix K>0 independently of L. Put X=L*ell^K. Consider the ORIGINAL labelled triple (d0,d+,d-) with shifts (0,2,-2), pairwise-coprime squarefree y-smooth parts greater than one and coprime to 30, where y=L^(1/2+o(1)). Keep the original CRT class h, zero-centered Fejer tent and remainder R_n(h), original weights lambda0(d0)lambda1(d+)lambda1(d-), and\n\n    2L<n=d0*d+*d-<=X,            n/d_i>L^(2/5) for all i.    (1)\n\nMore generally, retain any sharp product subinterval I_L=(U_L,V_L] contained in (2L,X], with 2L<=U_L<V_L<=X, in place of the whole band. The estimate below is uniform in these endpoints. In particular an original product cutoff a_L is preserved as max(2L,a_L)<n<=X; if the lower endpoint is at least X the sum is empty. This product cutoff is distinct from the branch variable a.\n\nThe prime weights remain lambda0(p)=2/(p-4), lambda1(p)=1/(p-4).\n\nChoose a to be the actual smallest branch, whose label is unique because equality of two parts greater than one would contradict coprimality. Order the remaining labels by (0,+,-), call their values b,c, and use their unique dyadic bins (B,2B],(C,2C]. Same-bin boxes are allowed. Set R=max(B/C,C/B). Restrict to\n\n    a<=A=L^alpha,                R<=Q=L^rho,\n    45alpha<1,                   35alpha+5rho<1,             (2)\n\nfor fixed alpha,rho>0. Define Delta=min(1-45alpha,1-35alpha-5rho). For every fixed 0<eta<Delta/40, the restricted ORIGINAL core satisfies\n\n    T_(K,alpha,rho;I_L)=O_K(ell^-1)+O_(K,alpha,rho,eta)(L^-eta).  (3)\n\nFor example alpha=1/50,rho=1/25,eta=1/500 works for each fixed K. Constants and the sufficiently large threshold may depend on K. This is not uniform for K growing with L or for a polynomial product envelope L^(1+delta).\n\nNo claim is made beyond the band (1) or the restrictions (2), about their share of the total weight, or about the full source normalization, variance constant or twin primes. The tent is not translated when the smallest branch has shift +2 or -2. Exterior source multipliers remain exterior to the core bound.\n\n## 2. The tail audit and the needed cutoff\n\nThe accepted exact Fourier formula holds for every odd n by finite Fourier orthogonality of the zero-centered tent, not only for n<=2L:\n\n    R_n(h)=n^(-1)sum_(0<|k|<=(n-1) divided by 2) K_L(k/n)e(-kh/n),\n    K_L(z)=L^(-1)*(sin(pi L z) divided by sin(pi z))^2.\n\nThe zero-frequency term is the original mean L/n; it has already been removed in R_n. All our n are odd. For 0<|k|<=n/2,\n\n    0<=K_L(k/n)<=n^2/(4L k^2).\n\nThus omitting |k|>H costs at most C*n/(LH) at each triple. For the original labelled weights, summing n times the weights over all colour assignments of a squarefree n gives the positive majorant\n\n    A4(n)=mu(n)^2 * product_(p|n) [4p/(p-4)]\n\non the smooth support coprime to 30. Allowing a part to be one only enlarges this majorant. With g(p)=p/(p-4), the positive tau4*h majorant, h(p)=4(g(p)-1)=O(1/p), has a convergent sum h(d) divided by d. Therefore sum_(n<=x)A4(n)<<x(log(2x))^3 for ALL x, so the high-band absolute tail is\n\n    O(X(log(2X))^3/(LH)) = O_K(ell^(K+3) divided by H).                (4)\n\nThe old H=ceil(ell^4) gives only O_K(ell^(K-1)). This upper bound decays when 0<K<1 but does not prove o(1) for K>=1. It is an insufficiency of that estimate, not proof that the actual tail fails to cancel.\n\nChoose instead\n\n    H=ceil(ell^(K+4)).                                     (5)\n\nEquation (4) is now O_K(ell^-1). For fixed K, eventually H<n/2 throughout (1), since n>2L. The canonical union is a disjoint subset with the original weight labels, so the same absolute majorant applies without a multiplicity or weight-permutation factor.\n\n## 3. Phase and character interface, with original labels\n\nFor a fixed canonical case let the shifts on (a,b,c) be (u,v,w), a permutation of (0,2,-2). With U=inv(ac) divided by b, V=inv(ab) divided by c, W=inv(bc) divided by a, CRT gives U+V+W=1/n modulo one and\n\n    -kh/n=k(w-v)U+k(w-u)W-kw/n,\n    -kh/n=k(v-w)V+k(v-u)W-kv/n.                             (6)\n\nFor C<=B choose the first identity, m=ac and denominator b; otherwise choose the second, m=ab and denominator c. This includes exactly one fixed orientation when B=C. The inverse coefficient has magnitude 2|k| or 4|k|, while the rational product coefficient has magnitude at most 2|k|. No recentering occurs.\n\nOn the unit group modulo a, the scalar is f(bc)=e_a(k*s*inv(bc)) with s one of the shift differences. Its normalized full-character expansion is f(bc)=sum_chi c_chi chi(b)chi(c), where c_chi=phi(a)^(-1)sum_t f(t)conjugate(chi(t)). Character orthogonality yields sum|c_chi|^2=1 and sum|c_chi|<=sqrt(phi(a)), uniformly in k,s,a. There is no primitive-character or gcd(k,a)=1 assumption.\n\nCharacters multiply the ORIGINAL branch weights. A coefficient placed at m=ac carries chi(c), not chi(m); the other carries chi(b). The analogous definition is used in the second orientation. Separate unit, squarefree and smooth conditions stay in the sequences; the theorem's coprimality mask imposes the remaining (b,c)=1. For each fixed a, canonical minimality is the pair of separate masks b>a,c>a, so it creates no joint coefficient. There is no residue-pair sum left after character expansion.\n\nWrite x=min(B,C),z=max(B,C),P=aBC. The chosen lower-end lengths have product P and sum\n\n    ax+z=sqrt(P)*(sqrt(a/R)+sqrt(R/a)).                      (7)\n\nA box intersecting (1) has\n\n    L/2<P<X,                    all products in (P,4P].    (8)\n\nFor |k|<=H, the Theorem 1 extra factor is bounded because |theta|<=4H and MN is comparable to P>L/2. The increased cutoff is logarithmic, so it introduces no new power of L in that factor.\n\n## 4. Mixed norms and the unchanged power ledger\n\nWith f_j(d)=d lambda_j(d), the positive convolution bounds are sum_(d<=D)f1(d)<<D and sum f0(d)<<D log(2D). The square norms on a bin are O(1/D) for lambda1 and O((log(2D))^3/D) for lambda0. The latter follows by majorizing the squarefree product of 4g(p)^2 with tau4*h4, h4(p)=4(g(p)^2-1)=O(1/p), whose reciprocal correction sum converges. The original masks only reduce these norms.\n\nIf the canonical branch is d0, the outside weight is lambda0(a) and the pair norm is O(sqrt(a/P)). If it is d+ or d-, the outside weight is lambda1(a), and the pair contains exactly one lambda0 factor at its original label, costing O_K(ell^(3/2)sqrt(a/P)). Indeed all lengths are O(X), and log(2X)=O_K(ell) for fixed K. Stretching does not improve a norm; character twists preserve it on unit support.\n\nApplying the published theorem with numerator parameter 1, the coefficients from (6), and upper-end support lengths twice those in (7), then splitting the fractional power of the sum, gives the two untwisted powers\n\n    P^(-1/40+epsilon)[a^(5/8)R^(-1/8)+a^(3/8)R^(1/8)],\n    P^(-1/16+epsilon)[a^(9/16)R^(-1/16)+a^(7/16)R^(1/16)].\n\nMultiply by the outside weight and sqrt(phi(a))<=sqrt(a). Partial summation of f0 or f1, including the negative moments -1/8,-1/16, gives the POWER factors\n\n    A^(9/8)+A^(7/8)Q^(1/8),\n    A^(17/16)+A^(15/16)Q^(1/16),                            (9)\n\nwith at most ell^(3/2) as the combined mixed-norm/outside-moment logarithm. The sums over three canonical labels are disjoint; the number three is only a constant in an upper bound.\n\nThe source complementary constraints remain justified: in (1), bc>2L^(1-alpha), while max(b/c,c/b)<=2R gives min(ab,ac)>>L^((1-rho) divided by 2). Conditions (2) imply alpha<1/45,rho<1/5, so both exceed L^(2/5) for sufficiently large L. Keep the separate canonical masks exactly.\n\n## 5. New variation and endpoint costs\n\nThe product weight for either orientation is K_L(k/q)e(-k*t/q) divided by q, with t in {0,2,-2}. Put z=k/q and tau=L/q. By (8), tau<2 on the WHOLE product box, and |z|<=2H/L=o(1). The sinc representation is\n\n    tau*sinc(pi*k*tau)^2*sinc(pi*z)^(-2)*e(-t*z).\n\nThe sinc function and its first derivative are bounded, while the reciprocal denominator and its derivative are bounded near zero. Differentiating with respect to log q yields a bound O(tau*(1+|k|tau+|z|)). Consequently\n\n    sup|weight|+Var(weight) = O(1+H)=O_K(ell^(K+4))          (10)\n\non the product-ratio-four box. This explicitly prices the increased frequency cutoff rather than reusing the old variation bound unaltered.\n\nFor a sharp product endpoint, first use the half-integer Perron approximation in the ORIGINAL double sum, before character expansion. Its original scalar and inverse phase have modulus one. The nontrivial endpoints and products are O(X), and their separation is at least 1/2, so the logarithmic gap is at least a constant times 1/X. With sigma=1/ell and T=L^20 the error is O(X/T) times the original positive bin mass, not O(L/T). Empty/full endpoints are immediate. The character expansion occurs only inside the main integral. Separate imaginary powers preserve norms, real powers cost O_K(1), and the integral costs O(ell). Partial summation uses (10) and preserves the two endpoints of the retained I_L exactly. Both endpoints stay O(X); none is replaced by 2L or X when the original interval is narrower. The same gap/error argument is uniform in U_L,V_L, and an empty retained interval contributes zero.\n\nThere are at most O_K(ell^2) labelled bins per a, including same-bin boxes; log X=O_K(ell). Frequencies cost O(ell^(K+4)); variation costs O(ell^(K+4)); Perron costs ell; the mixed norm/outside moment costs at most ell^(3/2). Thus the named main-term powers total\n\n    2+(K+4)+(K+4)+1+3/2 = 2K+25/2.\n\nSince P>L/2, replacing P by its lower bound adds no logarithmic power. A conservative complete low-frequency bound is therefore\n\n    O_(K,epsilon)(ell^(2K+20) * {\n      L^(-1/40+epsilon)[A^(9/8)+A^(7/8)Q^(1/8)]\n      +L^(-1/16+epsilon)[A^(17/16)+A^(15/16)Q^(1/16)]})\n        +O_K(L^-10).                                      (11)\n\nFor the error, outside and pair positive masses together sum to O_K(ell^2): lambda0 outside costs ell^2 with pair mass O(1), or lambda1 outside costs ell with mixed pair mass O_K(ell). Including bins, frequencies and variation gives\n\n    O_K((X/T)*ell^(2+2+K+4+K+4))\n      = O_K(L^-19*ell^(3K+12)) = O_K(L^-10).                (12)\n\nThe last absorption uses FIXED K. No character or residue cost was added to this original-mass error.\n\n## 6. Conclusion and precise boundary\n\nThe four powers of L in (11), before epsilon, have decay margins\n\n    (1-45alpha) divided by 40,       (1-35alpha-5rho) divided by 40,\n    (1-17alpha) divided by 16,       (1-15alpha-rho) divided by 16.\n\nThe last two exceed the corresponding first two by (3+5alpha) divided by 80 and (3-5alpha+5rho) divided by 80. Under (2) these are positive. Choose epsilon below Delta/40-eta; the fixed logarithmic power 2K+20 is absorbed in the remaining margin. Equation (11), together with the newly priced tail (4)-(5), proves (3), uniformly for every retained sharp I_L in the stated band.\n\nAt alpha=1/50,rho=1/25, the powers are -1/400,-1/400,-33/800,-33/800. Epsilon=1/10000 permits eta=1/500 for every fixed K. This is an asymptotic result with K-dependent constants and thresholds, not a finite numerical performance claim. Allowing K to grow with L would affect the cutoff, derivative and error absorptions and is outside this proof.\n\nThe current inspected 6183 record was pending without reviews or citing returns, report hash a9cceb384e6e8d0817f16f948fa01524490d428058140d4c73436b64183cdf3b.
