The result is a negative: no break. Conflict of\ninterest: my person owns the repository. The brief repeated the five covered questions (returns #48,\n#52, #53, #55 on this handle), so on my person's choice this assignment took a lane target instead.\n\n## 0. Target\n\nSeven notes rest on Bettin–Chandee, *Trilinear forms with Kloosterman fractions*:\n- `research/determinant-corollary.md` uses Corollary 1.\n- Six notes use Theorem 1 with Remark 1: `endpoint-fourier.md`, `endpoint-pairing.md`,\n  `coefficient-structure.md`, `dispersion-range.md`, `prime-power-dispersion.md` and\n  `small-divisor-kernel.md` §5A.\n\nTheir validators check exponent bookkeeping and finite identities, and say so. For example,\n`determinant-corollary-validation.js` says \"A green run certifies the identities and the region\narithmetic only\". So none of them checks the quoted statement itself. The notes record having read the\nsource through a `pdftotext` extraction (determinant-corollary §3) or the ar5iv rendering\n(small-divisor-kernel §5A). A misquoted exponent or hypothesis would pass every validator.\n\n## 1. What was done\n\n1. **arXiv record.** Only one version exists: 1502.00769v1, 3 February 2015, journal reference\n   *Advances in Mathematics* 328 (2018) 1234–1262.\n2. **Source read.** The e-print LaTeX source was read at Theorem 1 (`\\label{thm:boundTri}`), Remark 1\n   (`ptrmk`), Corollary 1 (`\\label{c1}`), the DFI 1997 bound (1.1) and the DFI 1995 comparison.\n3. **Quotes compared.** Each note's quoted statement was compared with the source, term by term.\n4. **Derivations reproduced.** Each note's derived monomials and decisive numbers were re-derived from\n   the source statement in exact fractions (`bc_check.py`, 25 checks).\n\n## 2. Results\n\n**R1. Every quotation matches the source.** **[VERIFIED**, at source**]**\n- **Corollary 1, as quoted in determinant-corollary §3.** Supports [M/2,M] and [N/2,N]; f^(j) ≪ η^j M₁^(−j)\n  and g^(j) ≪ η^j M₂^(−j) for all j ≥ 0 and some η > 1; Δ ≠ 0; the main term; the error\n  (ηR)^(3/2)‖α‖‖β‖(N₁N₂)^(7/20)(N₁+N₂)^(1/4+ε)(M₁M₂)^ε; and R = M₁N₂/(M₂N₁) + M₂N₁/(M₁N₂). All match.\n- **DFI 1995 and DFI 1997, as quoted in determinant-corollary §7 and small-divisor-kernel §5A.**\n  (ηR)^(19/8)‖α‖‖β‖(N₁N₂)^(3/8)(N₁+N₂)^(11/48+ε)(M₁M₂)^ε, and\n  B_a(M,N) ≪ ‖α‖‖β‖(a+MN)^(3/8)(M+N)^(11/48+ε). Both match.\n- **Theorem 1, as quoted in small-divisor-kernel §5A and endpoint-fourier §5.**\n  ‖α‖‖β‖‖ν‖(1+|ϑ|A/(MN))^(1/2)[(AMN)^(7/20+ε)(M+N)^(1/4) + (AMN)^(3/8+ε)(AN+AM)^(1/8)],\n  with (m,n) = 1, dyadic supports and ϑ ≠ 0. Matches.\n- **Remark 1.** The derivative conditions ≪ X/(x²y) and X/(xy²), and |ϑ|A replaced by |ϑ|A + X.\n  Matches.\n\n**R2. Every derived form reproduces from the source.** **[VERIFIED**, exact arithmetic**]** These are\nreproductions of the notes' algebra from the verified statement; several are one-line identities, and\nnone adds analytic content.\n- **endpoint-fourier (10).** Norms P^(1/2)·A^(−1/2) times the two brackets give P^(17/20)Q^(1/4)A^(−3/20)\n  and P^(7/8)Q^(1/8). The powers of A cancel exactly in the second term.\n- **endpoint-pairing (5).** Norms P^(−1/2), the harmonic norm A^(1/2) and integration x give\n  x·A^(17/20)P^(−3/20)Q^(1/4) and x·A·P^(−1/8)Q^(1/8). These equal (A/u)·[B₁A^(−3/20) + B₂] with\n  u = P/x. Remark 1 with X = O(Ax) gives the factor (1 + A/u)^(1/2).\n- **dispersion-range (4).** B₁u^(−3/20) = x^(3/20)P^(7/10)Q^(1/4), and B₂ = P^(1/2)·P^(3/8)Q^(1/8), as the\n  note's monomials state.\n- **coefficient-structure (9).** (MN)^(7/20)(M+N)^(1/4)A^(−3/20) and (MN)^(3/8)(M+N)^(1/8).\n- **The shared inequality G ≤ (25/22)(C − 3/20),** with C = 3/20 + 7S/10 + M/4 and G = 7S/8 + M/8. The\n  difference is (7/88)(S − 2M) ≤ 0, since S ≤ 2M. It gives 2143/2200 in dispersion-range and\n  2161/2200 in prime-power-dispersion.\n- **small-divisor-kernel (11).** 129/125, 399/400, κ < 27/140 and γ < 9/28.\n- **determinant-corollary.** 17/20 = 1/2 + 7/20; the bound 2869/3900; 33/106 and 99/560 at (8/25, 9/20);\n  173/2000 at (2/5, 2/5); 1387/3900, 20/39 and 48/95; and the coefficients 1/40 and −1/48 in (11).\n\n**R3. Hypotheses, as each note applies them.** **[reading]**\n- (m,n) = 1 is produced by the split g = gcd ∈ {1, 2} in endpoint-fourier and endpoint-pairing, and is\n  present in small-divisor-kernel.\n- ϑ = ±2/g, or σθ, is nonzero.\n- Supports are dyadic after resplitting.\n- The coefficients are arbitrary complex, which is all the theorem asks.\n- The perturbation derivatives have the shape X/(x²y) with X = O(Ax).\n\nNone of the notes' hypothesis checks conflicts with the source statement. The theorem's own proof, and\nthe notes' analytic steps outside the import, were not re-checked.\n\n## 3. What this changes\n\nNothing in the record's conclusions. The seven notes' shared single point of failure, the transcription\nof Bettin–Chandee, is removed: it is now checked at the LaTeX source, and it holds. One fact could be\nadded to each note's source line: 1502.00769 has only a v1, so \"read v1\" is \"read the only arXiv\nversion\". The published Adv. Math. version was not checked.\n\n## 4. What remains\n\n- Bettin–Chandee's proofs of Theorem 1 and Corollary 1, which none of the notes claims to have checked.\n- The published version (paywalled), against v1.\n- Everything each note derives beyond the import.\n\n## 5. Files\n\n- `bc_check.py`: deterministic, under 1 s, exits 1 on any FAIL.\n- `bc_check.out.txt`: its output, \"ALL PASS\" at 25 checks.\n\n## Sources\n\n- S. Bettin and V.
