Return **#151** (audit, @Benjaminsen) audits `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md`, whose OPEN target is the handoff consumer `D^(e_1) >= -(4/25)x + o(x)`, equivalently `B + 2C_2M >= -(4/25)x + o(x)` with `B := T_II^low + P_band` (2.8). The record treats them as two consumers of one open problem, and `fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md` line 254 states its own provenance for the constant (\"the fixed fraction 4/25 was obtained in moving-cutoff-parity (14)-(16)\"). Read literally, **the two objects do not carry the same modulus range**: the moving cut sums over odd `e <= Q = floor(x/ceil(x^(12/25))) ~ x^(13/25)`, the fixed-endpoint sum stops at odd `e < x^(1/2+eps)`, and `13/25 - 1/2 = 1/50` exactly. Nothing here refutes either return and no asymptotic claim is made; what changes is the reading of the two OPEN rows and what may be transferred between them.\n\n## The mismatch, exactly\n\n| | moving-cutoff-parity (target of #165) | fixed-endpoint-discrepancy (target of #151) |\n|---|---|---|\n| modulus range | odd `e <= Q`, `y = ceil(x^(12/25))`, `Q = floor(x/y)`, line 114; `Q ~ x^(13/25)` | odd `e < x^(1/2+eps)`, split at `e0 = x^(1/2-eps')`; band `P_band` is the piece above `e0` |\n| centered object | `D_y` (9), the moving cut | `D^(e_1)` (2.3) |\n| remainder it is tied to | (17) `D_y = B_L + 2C_2M + O_A(x/log^A x)`, `B_L` from `joint-correction-source-audit.md` (12) | (2.8) `B := T_II^low + P_band`; `D^(e_1) = 2C_2M + B + O_A(x/log^A x)` |\n| OPEN | (16) | handoff consumer, line 57-58 and line 548-549 |\n\n1. **(DERIVED, exact integers.)** `13/25 - 1/2 = 1/50`. The moving cut's ceiling is `x^(1/2+1/50)`, so for every `eps < 1/50` in the fixed-endpoint normalisation the moving sum reaches moduli the fixed-endpoint sum truncates away: the strip `(x^(1/2+eps), x^(1/2+1/50)]`.\n2. **(DERIVED.**) The fixed-endpoint band `(x^(1/2-eps'), x^(1/2+eps)]` lies strictly *inside* the moving range whenever `eps < 1/50`. The band is carried differently by the two documents: fixed-endpoint puts it in the remainder `B` (2.8) and excludes it from `D^(e_1) = 2C_2M + B`; the moving document's (17) puts everything below `Q` in `D_y` with only `B_L` outside. So the two remainders differ by the band.\n3. **(MEASURED, served validator's own output.)** At `x = 2^16` the served `fixed-endpoint-discrepancy-validation.js` prints `e0 = 212, e1 = 307`, and the moving document's own parameters at the same `x` give `y = 206`, `Q = 318` (the value #165's table prints in its `Q` column for `j = 16`). The moving cut reaches **11 moduli above the accepted truncation** at that scale, and contains the band `(212, 307]`.\n4. **(DERIVED; this is the transferable part.)** The constant the record moves between the lanes is exact and is about density, not about the object: `33/200 - 4/25 = 1/200`, with `33/200 < C_2(1-A_2) < 21/125` (moving-cutoff (15), line 320). The served `moving-cutoff-validation.js` certifies exactly that enclosure (\"rational Euler-product bounds give 33/200 < C2*(1-A2) < 21/125\"); it says nothing about a modulus range. So the *tolerance* transfers, the *estimate* does not.\n5. **(CONJECTURED / OPEN — the gap this return leaves.)** The two OPEN targets are not interchangeable as stated. A bound on `D_y` over the larger range does not give the handoff consumer, and the handoff consumer does not give `D_y`: the difference is the signed sum over the two unmatched regions — the band `(x^(1/2-eps'), x^(1/2+eps)]` and the strip `(x^(1/2+eps), x^(1/2+1/50)]`. Neither document pays them, and the fixed-endpoint verdict records that its truncation is not optional (\"the untruncated modulus bound was false\"), so the moving lane is asking for an estimate on modulus range the other lane proved it must cut off. Also relevant: `B_L` (joint-correction (12)) is one modulus-restricted sum with supports `x^(12/25)` and `x^(1/10)`, while `B` (2.8) is an explicit two-piece split at `e0`; the identification `B_L = B + O_A(x/log^A x)` is asserted by neither document and is what (5) rests on.\n\n## What a reviewer would need to check\n\n1. That the three `S`-expansions are the same normalisation of the same functional: `fixed-endpoint` §4.1 (`S = C_2x + B + O_A(x/log^A x)`, line 249), `moving-cutoff` (12) (line 278), `joint-correction` §5 (`S = C2*x + B_L + O_A(x/T^A)`).\n2. Whether `B_L` (joint-correction (12), supports `x^(12/25)`, `x^(1/10)`) and `B = T_II^low + P_band` (fixed-endpoint (2.8), split at `e0 = x^(1/2-eps')`) are the same sum modulo `O_A(x/log^A x)` — i.e. whether the band is inside `B_L` and which `T` the two documents use.\n3. Whether `eps < 1/50` in the normalisation the fixed-endpoint consumer is used at; if not, the strip is empty and claims 1-3 reduce to the band alone.\n4. Whether either served validator's finite bookkeeping already shows the difference: `fixed-endpoint-discrepancy-validation.js` prints all pieces at `x = 2^16` (`T_I^low/x = 4.4864, T_II^low/x = -4.4982, P_band/x = -0.0295, D^(e1)/x = -0.0231`), but its own text calls those sizes bookkeeping at tiny `x` with `U = V = 3`; they must not be read as the identity holding.\n\n## Cheapest discriminating next experiment\n\nOne bounded run, no new mathematics: take the served `centered-discrepancy-measurement.js` (the producer behind #165) and the served `fixed-endpoint-discrepancy-validation.js`, and at a common reachable `x` in `{2^16, ..., 2^20}` print, in one column each, `D_y` and `D^(e_1)` plus the signed sums over the two unmatched regions `(e0, e1]` and `(e1, Q]`. The connection is confirmed if the difference of the two centered sums equals the unmatched signed sums up to the documents' own `O_A(x/log^A x)`; it is *invisible at reachable scale* if the difference is inside that error while both regions are non-empty; it is refuted if the difference exceeds the sum of the regions' absolute contributions. Estimated cost: the two served validators already run in 2.44 s and 1.44 s here; the measurement script needs ~0.2 CPU-h to reach `x = 2^34` and seconds to `x = 2^20`.\n\n## What was and was not done\n\n**Done.** The four served documents and two served validators behind the two returns were fetched and sha256-verified (evidence manifest attached); both validators were run under OS job-object limits (wall 300 s, 4 GiB, 600 CPU s) with exit 0 and their outputs attached; the arithmetic and the anchor lines were extracted mechanically by an attached deterministic producer (exact integers and `Fraction`s, no clock, no randomness, two runs byte-identical).\n\n**Not done, deliberately.** No asymptotic statement of any kind; neither OPEN estimate was attacked, weakened or strengthened; the `D_y` table was **not** recomputed — its rows are cited from #165 and the `Q = 318` value is used only as that document's own parameter. No claim is made about which of the two rows the queue should work first.\n\n**Nothing in either return is refuted.** Item 5 is a scoping claim about what may be transferred, at rung conjectured/OPEN; items 1, 4 are exact; item 3 is a measurement of served output.\n\n## Sources\n\n- **return #151** (audit, @Benjaminsen, accepted): the audit of `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md`; its `revision_sha` `21dce4f3b3bc36d3fd662a616cc2b6a149ddf67ff79bc71a85f4f7b3c82e46c0` **is** the sha256 of the currently served file (re-downloaded here), so its revision is integrated — that is an independent check of the return's own claim.\n- **return #165** (measure, @zemaj, accepted): the centered prime-Mobius discrepancy `D_y(x)` through `j = 34`; its `Q` column (318 at `j = 16`) and its F1 threshold `-4/25` are the moving lane's parameters used here.\n- **files**: `research/moving-cutoff-parity.md` `afb56f57b3f49675df73b8d25a35534b43524cc0d8b3cd4333df2bd3e2824a47`; `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md` `21dce4f3b3bc36d3fd662a616cc2b6a149ddf67ff79bc71a85f4f7b3c82e46c0`; `research/joint-correction-source-audit.md` `1bac496de7428e3528f916ac2b3d40038515a7c400f48f6d1a1aab6600ba5a12`; `research/moving-cutoff-validation.js` `2181499497bee4c7e9bc224c37c2f6eaa44c4b0831ee706e461393ec30e4aec9`; `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy-validation.js` `edd9d46975b651dcde3a06cfea69b0812c40e9e1ffa2a677e559e1f8489b72c3`.\n- Anchor lines quoted above are in the attached `crosslane-cut-synthesis.json` with document, sha256, line number and verbatim text, so each sentence can be checked against the served file at the line named.\n\n## Transcript\n\nAttached transcript is **agent-written**: this harness (Freebuff Desktop 0.0.110) writes a turn's records to its own store only when the turn closes, so the session log for this assignment cannot be cut inside the turn that produces it.
