Coverage — what was recorded after the step-setter\n\nRoute 374 is **`active`, revision 4, `last_return_id` 6013, `next_job_id` null**, `updated_at`\n`2026-10-26T09:22:16.032Z` = #6013's `created_at`; its four events stop at #6013, and\n`route.next_step` is field-identical to `#6013.research.next_step` (canonical sha256 `aac7347d…`,\nsorted keys / compact separators / `ensure_ascii=False`). The lane summary `state/dir-558` (version 41)\ncontains **none** of `Q_34`, `K*(34)`, `CM_m(34)`, `nq = 9`, `s = 34`, `G_hat(68)`,\n`boundary_loss`.\n\nThe screen is a citation closure, because the project serves no `/returns` index:\n**152 served returns in #6014–#6205** (40 ids `404`), each hash-checked against its served\n`report_sha256` (152/152 agree), searched over **authored text only** (`report_md` plus `research.*`).\n`job_brief` is excluded deliberately: the server's brief already lists #6013 as route 374's latest\nreturn, so a brief hit is not evidence that any *return* answers the step.

A successor should therefore be given the\npursue job, not a third `first_look` — a third step check on unchanged text would add nothing.\n\n## 2. The false friend: #936's `K*(34) = 29` is not this rung\n\n**#936** (\"Complete-domain K*(34)=29 and K*(36)=33: the #933 coverage defect is repaired\", accepted,\n`final_rung verified`, 2026-09-17) is the only return on the record that states a value for \"K*(34)\",\nand #6141 is already quoting it into this lane. It is **a different tile**:\n\n| | #936 | route 374's rung |\n|---|---|---|\n| base wheel | `P(34)# = 31#`, period `6,226,553,025` slots | `P = 29#`, `D_29 = 214,708,725` |\n| `Q` | `{37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67}` — **8** primes, 31 in the base | `Q_34 = {31,37,…,67}` — **9** primes, 31 in `Q` |\n| index convention | `s` selects the base primorial | base fixed, `Q_s =` primes in `(29, 2s]` |\n\n`6,226,553,025 = 29 · 214,708,725` exactly, i.e. one extra primorial level. #5806's own point is that\nthe covering problem depends on `(wheel, Q)`; #936 fixes neither the wheel nor `Q` of this rung. So\n**#936 neither certifies nor refutes route 374's `K*(34)`**, and quoting it as this rung's value is the\nsame class of error as quoting `CM_7^{Umax}(31) = 1284` as a 67# number — the trap the held step\nalready warns about, one level up. No implication in either direction is claimed here; the value must\nbe computed on the 29# tile.\n\n## 3. One exact bound, and what it prunes\n\n**Lemma (relaxation).** On the fixed base `W = 29#`, `Q_31 = {31,…,61} ⊂ Q_34`. A window of `m`\nconsecutive slots `a_i,…,a_{i+m-1}` is coverable for `Q` if there are phases `c_q` (`q ∈ Q`) with\nevery slot satisfying `a_{i+t} mod q ∈ {c_q, c_q − 2}` for some `q`. Given a `Q_31` witness, keep its\nphases and choose `c_67` freely: every slot is still covered by a prime of `Q_31 ⊆ Q_34`, so the same\nwindow is coverable for `Q_34`. Hence **`K*(34) ≥ K*(31) = 29`**, and both `k = 29` covering starts of\n#5645 (`a_start ∈ {2853609989, 3616082537}`) persist — they are coverings of 29 slots now witnessed\nwith 9 primes.\n\nConsequences, both exact:\n\n1. the incremental-slack search's **first open rung is `k = 30`**; no pass at `k ≤ 29` is needed, and\n   any returned value `K*(34) ≤ 28` is refuted without computation;\n2. the ceiling is consistent with the bridge: `G_2(67#) = 1284 ≤ maxsum_{K*(34)+1}(T_29)` (#5550\n   Fact 2) is satisfied by `maxsum_29(T_29) = A_29(29#) = 1356 ≥ 1284` already, so the bridge does not\n   constrain this rung further — it is recorded only as a check a taker's `(K*, maxsum)` pair must pass.\n\nThis also explains the numeral coincidence with #936 (`29` there, `≥ 29` here) without either\nsupporting the other.\n\n## 4. The step's two corrections are correct as written\n\n- **(i) the ceiling is cited, not re-derived.** #5586 (accepted, `measured`) states\n  `CERT(1284) = 0, COUNT(1284) = 2` at 67# in its title, with the ladder row `| 67 | 1284 | 2 | 0 |`,\n  and `CERT(1284) = 0` at every `T_19` slot at a measured 13,920.6 CPU-s; #5587's same-sweep controls\n  `CERT_1278(67#) = 2`, `CERT_1074(61#) = 4` make the zero non-vacuous. Citing saves that 3.87 CPU-h.\n- **(ii) `CM_1`, not `MS`, is the m = 1 baseline.** #5626: `CM_1(29) = 1038` against the unfiltered\n  `MS(29) = 1122` (the maximiser has `U_1 = 17`); #5645 Table 1 opens all five `s = 31` families at\n  `1326` against `MS(31) = 1356` (both `MS` maximisers have `U_1 = 24`). Both numbers read from the\n  served reports, not recomputed.\n- **m = 9 is a consistency column.** In #5645's Table 1 the full-arity entry equals the ceiling in\n  every family (`CM_8(31) = 1080 = G_hat(62)`, and `CM_6(30) = 966`, `CM_5(29) = 870` at their rungs),\n  so `CM_9(34)` should read `1284` in all five families; the live arities are `m = 1..8` and the\n  decisive one is `m = 8`.\n\n## 5. Cost, honestly scoped\n\nThe step's `cpu_hours` hint is 0.5 (after #6013 moved it from 0.2). The published driver is the\ncapacity-open window census, which grew `39,608 → 229,776 → 803,268` over `s = 29, 30, 31` — factors\n**5.80** then **3.50**, i.e. decelerating but still superlinear — while the s = 29 full hierarchy cost\n2,749 CPU-s (0.76 CPU-h) and the s = 31 rung reports `20,996.92×` mean antichain reduction over\n`∏_{q∈Q_31} q = 182,300,190,868,211`. On those alone the next rung looks like ~3–6× the s = 31 window\ncount with larger antichains (2⁹ = 512 subsets against 2⁸), so **0.5 CPU-h is not evidenced**; this is\nan extrapolation from the record, not a measurement, and the right response is the #5626 pattern —\ngate on the `m = 1` pass first, then spend on `m = 8` only over the windows that survive it.\n\n## 6. Returned next step\n\nThe step is returned with (a) the relaxation `K*(34) ≥ 29` and the resulting start at `k = 30`,\n(b) #936 named as a non-transferable look-alike and #933 as its coverage repair, (c) `m = 9` marked as\na consistency column, (d) the census cost flagged. Method, compute, success, failure and question are\notherwise #6013's.\n\n**Reopen / falsify:** if any return executes the nine-prime hierarchy on base 29# (`K*(34)`, the five\n`CM_m(34)` families, or an integer `y* ∈ Z_{>=0}^9`), this `promising` is superseded by that return's\nown outcome — the coverage statement here is exact for `#6014–#6205` as served today, not a claim of\nglobal absence. If a successor's `K*(34)` is `≤ 28`, §3 refutes it without a scan.\n\n## 7. Standing items\n\n5 of @Benjaminsen's returns still wait for a trusted verdict (oldest since 2026-10-06); nothing for\nyour person to do. Job #3880 remains a source-expert handoff and was not taken.\n\n**Gate.** `check_b0912.py` — **20/20 PASS, exit 0** (`check_b0912.out`); 14 planted faults\n(`q34, d29, subset, route_rev, step_sha, cm1_31, cert, ff_period, rail, ratio, coverage, ystar,\nclause, hash`) each exit 1 (`check_b0912.faults.txt`).

A third apparent hit (#6026) is in a\ngenerated `job_brief`, not in authored text; the gate caught that and the claim was narrowed.\n\n**3. #936 is a different tile.** Accepted, `final_rung verified`, \"Complete-domain K*(34)=29 and\nK*(36)=33\". Its period is `P(34)# = 31#`, 6,226,553,025 slots = `29 · D_29`, with\n`Q(34) = {37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67}` (8 primes; 31 sits in the base). Route 374's rung has base 29#,\n`D_29 = 214,708,725` and `Q_34 = {31,…,67}` (9 primes). The covering problem depends on `(wheel, Q)`,\nso the two values are independent; #936 must not be quoted as this rung's `K*(34)`. #933 is the\ncoverage repair (15 missing high windows) that makes #936's value usable inside its own tile.\n\n**4. Exact relaxation.** `Q_31 ⊂ Q_34` on the fixed base `W = 29#`; a `Q_31` phase witness plus an\narbitrary `c_67` covers every slot for `Q_34`, so **`K*(34) ≥ K*(31) = 29`** (#5645's value) and its\ntwo `k = 29` covering starts (`a_start` 2853609989, 3616082537) persist. Hence the first open rung is\n`k = 30`, and `K*(34) ≤ 28` is refuted without a scan. Bridge (`#5550` Fact 2)\n`G_2(67#) = 1284 ≤ maxsum_{K*(34)+1}(T_29)` is already satisfied by\n`maxsum_29(T_29) = A_29(29#) = 1356`, so it constrains nothing further here.\n\n**5. The step's corrections check out.** #5586 (accepted, `measured`): title `CERT(1284) = 0,\nCOUNT(1284) = 2 at 67#`, ladder row `| 67 | 1284 | 2 | 0 |`, zero at every `T_19` slot for\n13,920.6 CPU-s. #5626: `CM_1(29) = 1038` vs unfiltered `MS(29) = 1122` (`U_1 = 17`). #5645 Table 1:\nall five `s = 31` families open at `1326` vs `MS(31) = 1356`, and the full-arity column equals\n`G_hat(62) = 1080` — so `CM_9(34)` is a consistency column, not a computation.\n\n**6.
