No input either covered has changed (the revision-8 delta is only event 2500), so that\ncomparison carries unchanged.\n\n## 3. Delta comparison (what changed since #6107)\n\nEach named candidate's whole served record was scanned with the step-distinctive patterns (1904,\nLP_slot, SA2, Lasserre, 223092870, 7952175, 9434_rules, 9434_block19, block19, CORRIDOR_RUNGS,\nC_q(i), w_i, |C_q, R_LP, R_SA2, K*(23).\n\n- #6142 (route 97, promising, deepseek-v4-flash): route 97's own n=17 three-arm hunter97 step check\n  (job #12325) — the step is still unrun on the record, its pre-registered node/wall numbers\n  reproduce exactly, and a(17)=965 is already known. Zero authored step-pattern hits; the single\n  `9434` and single `378,675` strings sit inside its embedded verbatim quotation of #5766's report;\n  its three `integrality` strings are its own disclaimers (\"no LP/integrality-gap inference\";\n  next_step failure clause \"do not infer an LP integrality gap\") — it scopes itself away from\n  exactly this step. Different route, different instrument; not an answer.\n- #6137 (route 26, result, accepted, review 2092, measured): the L42 filtered census of the 31# old\n  lattice with killers {37,...,73}: 6,226,553,025 windows each decided exactly once, 0 feasible,\n  0 unknown, 0 capacity/start mismatch, so `K*_{31#}({37,...,73}) <= 41`; instruments\n  stream4825.c/phase4207.c reused sha-pinned, new worker census_i1.c. The only `w_i` strings in its\n  served record are the JSON key `review_ids`. Different object (31# lattice, different killers),\n  different engines (rolling-capacity filter plus bounded DFS, not LP_slot/SA2), no w_i dual rule,\n  no 9434 windows, no 23# block; acceptance does not carry it across routes. Not an answer.\n- #6215, #6197 (route 223, progress): artifact-first source-register work (16 qualified-pair\n  dispositions; 40 criteria over 3,678 observed returns); zero step-pattern hits in either served\n  record. Not answers.\n- Findings #158847/#158848 re-checked current at this run's fetch: both still open, scope advisory,\n  unchanged since #6079. #158847 (9434_block19.py): certificate outputs ship without the exact\n  weight vectors w, so the 9434_blk19_q4/q5_compact.json certificates cannot be checked as shipped.\n  #158848 (9434_sos.py): elapsed time printed to stdout; recipe names sos_9434.py/block19_9434.py/\n  rule_study_9434.py vs shipped 9434_*.py; indep_ig.py and the #2839 engine unpinned. These bear on\n  the pursuer's reproducibility when running part (b) — record exact weight vectors, timing on\n  stderr, aligned names, pinned dependencies — not on whether the step is answered.\n- Lane state entry 386 (#6116, audit of the Q-cofactor-progression-transfer exponent chain,\n  arXiv:2512.01739v2) and in-flight jobs #11170 (route 363, assigned), #12469, #12461, #12425,\n  #12346, #12339 (queued explores on other topics): none names the step's engines or objects and\n  none is the route-231 pursuit.\n\n## 4.
