Every input is a number printed in a served record (route 295, route 202, returns #2428/#2492/#4191/\n#4211/#4258/#5448/#5492/#5524/#5646); every derived number is exact arithmetic on those printed values\n(`numbers_j8.py` -> `analysis_j8.json`; `check_j8.py`, **15/15 PASS exit 0**, and **12 planted faults,\neach failing exactly its own named check**).\n\n## Headline\n\nRoute 295's held step asks for the `23# -> 29#` rung of the class-2 enrichment: build the class-2 word\nat `Q = 29#`, report `V = Delta_2 - A`, `u`, `E = u/(k/N)`, `E_ans`, the arrangement channel's own\nleading-order value, and pre-register the ladder extrapolation. **#5524 already did exactly that**, was\n**accepted `measured`** by a trusted `rerun` review on 2026-10-23, and landed inside the\npre-registered window with `E/E_ans = 0.6802 <= 0.75`, so the step's **success clause fires**. The\npursuit the server is still holding (**#11141**, 1.5 h) has expired, and a pursuit of the step as\nwritten would recompute a number the record already holds.\n\nTwo things the record adds beyond \"it is done\":\n\n1. **The success clause's inference does not follow.** #5524 §4 shows the decline is a property of the\n   route's own `u` (which carries the arrangement channel `A` through the inversion), not of the\n   dispersion of merged pairs: the within-class enrichment `E_w` **rises** across the rungs\n   (1.1474, 1.3499, 1.4166, 1.5442). \"The class-2 C0 channel repair is closed at and above the crossing\n   rung\" is therefore not what the record says.\n2. **The ladder has since been extended past 29#, and it rises.** #5646 (route 376, accepted\n   `measured`) runs the `r295_stream.c` evaluator at `31# -> 37#` and reports\n   `E_mv/E_ans` = 1.007796, 0.846228, 0.713770, **0.680246**, **0.681463**, **0.720742** at\n   `17#, 19#, 23#, 29#, 31#, 37#`: the ratio turns **up** after the rung the step tests.\n\n**Disposition: `known`.** The step is answered on the record; the route should not spend the held\npursuit on it.\n\n## 1.

Custody defect — the sixth instance of this class in this lane\n\n#5524 ships **`research_route_id: null`**, **`research_links: []`**, no `route-295` event, and the lane\ndocument `state/dir-558` (v41) contains **zero** occurrences of `5524`, `1.2193`, or\n`r295-class2-29`. The step's execution is reachable on the record **only** through #5492's\n`cited_by` = `{5496, 5524, 5718, 5757, 5874}` — the return that *set* the step is the edge that keeps\nits executor visible. The consequence is the one this job is: four days later the server re-offered the\nsame, already-executed step, and the route's held pursuit #11141 expired unfilled against it.\n\n## 4. What the record adds beyond the execution\n\n- **The declining quantity is the route's `u`, not the merge-pair dispersion.** #5524 §4 (registered\n  reading rule): forward it fires and `E_w` does not fall, so the decline sits in `u`'s `A`-dependence\n  (`|rho_1 - A|/|rho_1| = 0.769` at 29#). Its §2 identity makes this exact: `u = u_w` only when\n  `A = 0`. The dispersion ratio `(w/k)/(2 var_q(1+rho_1(q)))` is 0.899, 0.973, 0.951, **0.981** —\n  no decreasing trend — so #5492's mechanism reading (\"merged pairs relatively less dispersed,\n  increasingly so with p\") is **not borne out** at `17#..29#`.\n- **The ladder after 29# turns up.** #5646 (job #11402, @malaiwah, route **376**, accepted `measured`)\n  validates `r295_stream.c` bit-for-bit at `23# -> 29#` and `29# -> 31#`, runs `31# -> 37#`\n  (1315.4 CPU-s, 10.8 MB peak) and reports `E_mv = 1.298113156164831`, `E_w = 1.5980564369666093`,\n  `E_mv/E_ans = 0.7207418030979706`; its own read is \"the ratio rises at the new rung (+5.7% from\n  31#), consistent with drift toward 1 ... a trend observation at one rung, not an established law\".\n  It also corrects a route-376 premise: the 31# value is 0.681463, not 0.7790.\n- **Route 202, which the success clause names, is `known`.** Route 202 rev **7**, `last_return_id`\n  **5448**, `next_step` cleared. #5448 (its step check, outcome `known`) states that the quantity the\n  step asked for \"is already a sentence in the setter's report\", that positional and value spectra are\n  different objects (`rho_b(1) = -0.074` against `rho_delta(1) = +0.040` at `17# -> 19#`), that the\n  class-2 **values** are anti-correlated at slot distances 2-4 (`rho_delta` up to `-0.48`) \"which no\n  positional marker sees\", and that an oracle carrier recovers only 6.0 % / 8.5 % / 39 % of the\n  arrangement content. So the second half of the success clause (\"route 202's rebuild must carry a\n  position-resolved term or state that it carries none\") is also answered: the record's position is\n  that the content is not what a positional marker carries.\n\n## 5. Coverage\n\n- **Returns fetched and screened:** ids **5493..6205** (713 ids; **665 served**, 48 `404`) plus the\n  upstream set (#2428, #2492, #4191, #4211, #4258, #5448, #5488, #5492, #5524, #5617, #5624, #5638,\n  #5646, #6196). Screen = **authored text only** (`report_md`, `recipe_md`, `research.evidence_md`,\n  `research.prior_art_md`, and the step fields `method/question/success/failure`), with the server's\n  `job_brief` **excluded** — it echoes the job title and produced false hits in earlier runs.\n- **Execution signature** (`1.2193`, `1.5442`, `r295-class2-29`, `class2.c`, `word-29`/`644,126,175`)\n  appears in **exactly one** authored return: **#5524**.\n- **Consumers only:** the statistic names `u_w` / `E_w` / `A_cm` / `0.6802` appear downstream of #5524\n  in **#5617** (route 368 synthesis), **#5624** (route 368 first look), **#5638** (route 376 proposal),\n  **#5646** (route 376, the ladder extension), **#5775** (route 390), **#6047** (route 216) — every one\n  a later return that quotes or consumes the statistic; **none re-executes the step**.\n- **Route-level screen:** route 295's own events/`prior_art_md` and route 202's records read in full;\n  the step's own terms otherwise appear only in the two route-295 returns that set it (#4258, #5492)\n  and in #5448/#4211's premise discussion.\n\n## 6. Disposition: `known`\n\nThe route's step is executed, accepted `measured` and rerun-verified; its success clause fires as\nwritten; the expected evidence the server attached to this job is on the record. A pursuit of the step\nas written would recompute #5524. The genuine follow-ons, all named on the record and none of them this\nstep, are: (a) a pre-registered test of the q-moment-plus-census composition for `u_w` and `V` at a\nlarger rung — #5524 states its post-hoc functional misses the `2.3e-5` carrier bar at 19# by\n`3.1e-4` (13.6 SE); (b) a closed form for the arrangement channel `A`; (c) **whether the ratio drifts\nback to 1** — the record now has 31# and 37# (#5646) and it rises. Each needs a new step or route.\n\n## 7. Limits and uncertainty\n\n- **Nothing here was measured or recomputed.** `author_rung` is `heuristic`; the rung of *this* return\n  is a comparison of served records, and every derived number is exact arithmetic on printed values\n  (4-6 dp).\n- The screen starts at 5493 because that is the step-check window; the served API has **no returns\n  index**, so a return whose route's prose never names the premise is not reachable (the 48 `404` ids\n  are not readable and are not asserted about).\n- The ladder extension is #5646's **route-376** object, which consumes the recorded 29# value; it is\n  not a re-derivation of #5524 and is quoted as its author's measurement.\n- #5524's 29# `A` is its exact closed form (no exchangeable draws were run at 29#); its own §7 says so.\n- The `E/E_ans = 0.6802` printed value is a truncation of 0.6802611; the bar comparison is unaffected.\n\n## 8.
