Assignment 1.\nAttempt `1989b2e6c61523e80a16930414401`.\n\n**Rungs.** Prior-art location: VERIFIED at source (abstract and theorem statements\nread 2026-09-16). Channel closure: DERIVED, from the record's own cited structural\nfact plus the candidate's quoted hypotheses. The proposed route: CONJECTURED.\nNothing here is measured, and no saving is claimed.\n\n## 1. What I did\n\nTODO's priority board names its item-1 next decision as *\"Check a source/structure\nmatch for D's corrected small-gcd moment target\"*. The note that produced the target\nrecords that the search has not been run: `structured-dispersion-estimate.md` section 3\nsays *\"No web search was run in this pass and no locator for the device is recorded\"*,\nand SEARCH-CONVENTIONS row 54 says the same. So this return runs that search, records\nwhat it inspected, and states the exact uncovered step.\n\n## 2. The target, restated in the record's own numbers\n\nThe reopening condition (`structured-dispersion-estimate.md` section 8): an estimate\nfor the coprime `e`-pair class inside a common prime power `q`, with\n`j_e <= x^(7/300+eps)`, saving more than `x^(7/200)` over the majorant `Q^(3/2)E^3`\nof its (9) in the moment `sum_q Lambda(q) M_q`; equivalently more than `7/400` in the\nblock exponent at the top sector `(rho,sigma) = (6/25, 1/20)`. The record's own chain\nis exactly `3*(1/20)/2 + 3*(1/2-1/20) = 57/40`, Cauchy factor `14/25 + 1/20 = 61/100`,\nhalf-sum `407/400`, sufficient budget `139/100`, deficit `7/200` in the moment and\n`7/400` in the block. `small-divisor-kernel.md` section 5A adds the substitution\nthresholds: closing the box inside the Bettin-Chandee interface needs the `(M+N)`\nexponent below `27/140` or the `(AMN)` exponent below `9/28`. All of these are\nreproduced exactly, with no floating-point arithmetic, by the attached checker.\n\n## 3. What the search found\n\n**Located and not in the corpus (read at source today).**\nM. Milicevic, X. Qin, X. Wu, *Bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums and moments of\ntwisted L-functions*, arXiv:2511.07550v1 (2025-11-10):\n* Theorem 1.1, conditions (1.2) `1 <= M <= N q^(1/4)`, `M^(7/5) N < q^(3/2)`,\n  `MN <= q^(5/4)`, bound (1.3), **uniform over all moduli q**;\n* Remark 1.1 and the text after (1.4): nontrivial for `M ~ N >> q^(10/21+delta)`,\n  and saving `q^(-1/100+eps)` in the Polya-Vinogradov range `M, N ~ q^(1/2+eps)`;\n* Theorem 2.1 (2.1): the favorably-factorable case, `s | q` with\n  `s in [q^d1, q^(1/2-d2)]`;\n* the paper records that Pascadi's non-abelian method is simultaneous and\n  independent, and that the two are complementary.\nThe paper's headline novelty is that it removes the factorability conditions on the\nmodulus that the corpus's other composite-modulus imports carry.\n\n**Already in the corpus, and not re-imported (negative finding).**\nWright, arXiv:2604.25177v2 (fixed denominator factor) and arXiv:2608.27732v1\n(subdyadic intervals) are both already priced -- `small-divisor-kernel.md` section 5A\nrecords the former as secondary-read and unusable here, `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` row 66\nrecords \"no sufficient bound\" at a fixed prime factor, and `OUTCOMES.md` records the\nlatter's subdyadic hypothesis as living on the two inverted variables rather than the\nharmonic band, with manufacturing subdyadicity costing `1157/1000`.\nDong-Robles-Zeindler, arXiv:2601.00292, carries an author erratum and is not\nimported. Recording these explicitly is the point: the next attempt should not\nre-run them.\n\n## 4. Why the located paper does not rescue the box\n\n`small-divisor-kernel.md` section 5C fixes the arrangement: the only complete\nKloosterman sum in the record's (3) pairs a **full-length `t`-interval against a single\n`r = -sigma theta R`**, with the modulus `c = j*l1*l2` itself one of the summation\nvariables, and it concludes that \"the missing input is a short separated pair of\ncoefficient sequences against a fixed modulus\".\n\nIn the notation of MQW's (1.3) the second sequence is then a single point, `N = 1`,\nand the first is the full `t`-interval, of length asymptotic to `c`; take `q` to be\nthat same summation variable. Then (1.2) reads `1 <= M <= q^(1/4)` with `M` of size\n`q`, a shortfall `q^(3/4)` -- condition 1 fails, and the theorem's range never\nbecomes relevant. The second condition and the third are checked in the artifact for\ncompleteness (`7/5 < 3/2` holds; `MN <= q^(5/4)` holds).\n\nIndependently, Theorem 2.1's favorable divisor must satisfy `s <= q^(1/2-d2)` with\n`d2 > 0`, so the *whole* prime power that (D1)/Lemma H holds **outside** the Cauchy\nis not admissible as the favorable divisor `s`; only a proper divisor is.\n\nThe honest reading is therefore: **the composite-modulus channel now terminates on the\nsame structural mismatch that already closed Blomer-Pascadi Theorem 1.1 and Pascadi's\nGAFA Theorems 1.1-1.2 at this box.** One named channel is closed. This is not\nevidence of novelty, and it is not a refutation of the candidate theorem in general.\n\n## 5. What is left, and the proposal\n\nThe record names its own unexploited input: `structured-dispersion-estimate.md`\nsection 8 -- \"The left Mobius signs `mu(d)`, the right signs `mu(e)` and the left\n`Lambda(r)` are still used only through absolute values here; any of them is an\nunexploited input.\"\n\nThe target *is* the coprime `e`-pair class, and coprimality is exactly a Mobius\nidentity: `mu(e1)mu(e2) 1_{(e1,e2)=1} = sum_{d | (e1,e2)} mu(d) mu(e1) mu(e2)`.\nThe proposed change of ingredient is to take the (D1) Cauchy arrangement **after**\nthat expansion, so that the common divisor `d` becomes a *fixed inner modulus factor\nof the moment* rather than a condition imposed on the pair. That is a different object\nfrom the recorded variant that discards the structure with `(R,q) <= q` (which the\nrecord says returns exactly the old `103/100`): the modulus here grows by `d` while the\npair count is unchanged, which is the same trade Lemma H prices for `q`, one level in.\n\nThe step that would have to hold: the `d`-average of the (D1) cross budget stays at or\nbelow `x^(139/100-2 eta)` on the `j_e <= x^(7/300+eps)` range -- i.e. what the\n`d`-sum gains exceeds the `7/200` moment deficit net of the factor `d` introduces.\nIf it does, the coprime-pair deficit shrinks a second time and the top sector moves\nbelow `1`. If it does not, the `d`-sum contributes a *loss* and the coprime-class\nroute is refuted at this box -- a decisive outcome either way, at a cost of seconds.\n\n## 6. Honest limits of this return\n\nThe whole closure rests on the single-`r` reading of (3). That reading is the\nrecord's, not mine, but if a separated short pair of coefficient sequences can be\nconstructed from the box -- the one thing section 5C says it could not close -- then\nMQW Theorem 1.1 is live again and section 4 is void. Second, I did not price\nTheorem 2.1 against (D1): if its favorable-divisor bound reproduces the (D1)\nexponent, that resolves the *provenance* of the device rather than supplying a\nsaving, and provenance alone does not move the margin. Third, the proposal in\nsection 5 is a conjecture with an arithmetic falsifier; I did not run it.\n\n## 7. Compute, and two of my own errors\n\nOne exact-rational script, run under the job object: 1.1 s wall, 0.078 s CPU, peak job\nmemory 9.6 MB against a 1024 MB cap, wall/CPU/memory/process-tree limits recorded as\n`enforced`, no survivors. Zero enumeration, zero floating-point comparisons.\n\nFour of my first-draft assertions were **wrong and were caught by the arithmetic**:\nI had written that the majorant is below the sufficient budget (it is above:\n`57/40 > 139/100`), that `1/4 < 27/140` (it is the other way: the needed `kappa` is\nstrictly below `1/4`), that `M^(7/5)N < q^(3/2)` fails at `(q,1)` (it holds, `7/5 < 3/2`),\nand that `10/21 > 1/2` (it is below). They are recorded because a check that cannot\nreport its author's errors is not a check.\n\n## 8. Publication note\n\nNothing was removed from this return; the transcript is attached through the harness\nreader described in the recipe and scrubbed as data. No files are declared in\n`cites.files`: the documents this return builds on are served project files whose\nraw served-byte digests are not `/files` store objects, so quoting them would create\ndangling citations.

Its novelty is removing factorability conditions on q.\nWhy it does not rescue the box: small-divisor-kernel section 5C fixes the arrangement -- the only complete Kloosterman sum in the record's (3) pairs a full-length t-interval against a SINGLE r = -sigma theta R, with modulus c = j*l1*l2 itself a summation variable. In (1.3) that makes the second sequence a point (N = 1) against a first sequence of length q; condition 1 then needs M <= q^(1/4) and fails by q^(3/4), and the nontriviality range never applies. Separately, Theorem 2.1 requires s <= q^(1/2-d2), so the whole prime power that (D1)/Lemma H holds outside the Cauchy is not admissible as s.

Second, Theorem 2.1's favorable-divisor bound was not priced against (D1); if it reproduces the (D1) exponent that resolves the provenance of the device and supplies no saving, since provenance alone does not move the margin.

Taking the (D1) Cauchy arrangement AFTER that expansion turns the common divisor d into a fixed inner modulus factor of the moment, with the pair count unchanged -- the same trade Lemma H already prices for q, one level in, and a different object from the recorded variant that discards the structure with (R,q) <= q (which the record says returns exactly the old 103/100).
