The replacement keeps the success criterion, the failure criterion and the chordal contingency, and drops the census request.\n\nRead-only served-record comparison; no experiment run; `cpu_hours 0`. Every claim is re-derived offline by `check_13653.py` (22/22 gates, exit 0; `--corrupt` in five modes each names its own FAIL and exits 1).\n\n## 1.

Setter identity: job 9321, route 2, outcome `progress`, status `accepted` (C04).\n\n## 2. The route itself has not moved\n\nServed route 2: `state active`, `revision 18`, `last_return_id 5755`, `updated_at` equal to `#5755.created_at` to the millisecond (C06-C08). No return has been recorded on this route after the step was set.\n\n## 3. Nothing recorded after the setter performs the scans\n\nThere is no returns-listing endpoint (`GET /returns` is 404), so ids were probed directly: **1,170 ids from 5756 to 6925**, 837 served, 333 absent, 0 throttled (C09).\n\n- **Route-2 returns after the setter: 0** (C10). Of the 837 served, 548 declare no route, then route 216 (7), 231 (6), 192 (6), 293 (6), 374 (5), 392 (5), 389 (4); none declares route 2.\n- **The eight comparators the brief names** (#6704, #6067, #6056, #6047, #6026, #5987, #5923, #5765) are all served, all created after the setter, on routes 224/216/216/216/216/4/199/387, and each contains **zero** occurrences of `fprofile`, `fastscan`, `chordal`, `9321`, `223092870` or `envelope loss` (C12-C14).\n- **Fourteen other post-setter returns mention a step instrument; the eight plausible ones were read** (C15-C16): #5758 (route 231 step check, `9321` only as a foreign ledger row), #5798 (route 216 step check quoting #5755 in a table), #5908 (an applicability screening of #5755: it describes fprofile6 and the 1.4 us/start price but runs nothing), #5829 (23# as an interval), #6244 (route 231, `223092870` as a scan pattern), #6547 (route 56 repair, `223092870` as geometry), #6766 (a 1e12 sieve using 23# as a segment size), #5844 (route 42 step check). None runs the census invocation or reports an envelope loss at any subset's Ln.\n\n## 4. What does answer part 1: review 2033\n\nReview 2033 is a review **of return #5755** and it settles the census clause (C19-C21): it reran the binary **in 30 start-range chunks** (20 tiling [0,185910730), 10 tiling [185910730,223092870)), merged them by elementwise min, matched the author's 15-row table on [0,185910730) on every field, and states that *the table's Ln values are now full-range values: next_step part 1 (the last 2 chunks) is done* - at 4,118 s of CPU. It also records that *the 15 envelope scans remain open*, and it reproduces the instrument's controls: 17# {19,23,29,31} L=1243 -> global max loss 1 at 560 starts, and a 300k-start envelope probe at 23# {29,31,37,41} L=581 -> 0 loss, minimum first order 1. #5908 states the same division of labour: *Part 1 (the census) is already done by review 2033, so the 15 envelope scans (~1.4 CPU-h total) are next*.\n\nSo the held pursuit would have spent its first sentence re-running a census that the record already has at full range, and its remaining 2 chunks no longer exist. That is the one thing this step check changes.\n\n## 5. The replacement step, and what it keeps\n\nKept: the question (envelope loss at each subset's own Ln at 23#), the success criterion (all 15 subsets, 0 or a pinned witness start L_e, with chordal as the sole remaining lever if all 15 read 0), the failure criterion (a scan that will not fit the compute, or that does not reproduce the controls), the chordal contingency with its measured ~2.0 ms/start price, the 4 GB / 1 GB / 1.6 CPU-h envelope.\n\nChanged, each for a stated reason: the census clause is removed because review 2033 completed it (this is what `progress` records); `fprofile6.c` leaves `required_tools` because only the envelope scans remain (`fastscan.c` stays); the 300k-start probe at {29,31,37,41} L=581 is promoted into the method as a pre-scan control, since review 2033 already reproduces it at 0 loss and it is the cheapest evidence that a scan is wired correctly; and the sources now name review 2033 and #4545, whose natural row the full-range census agrees with.\n\n## 6. Limits and boundary notes\n\n- **404 is a gap, not absence**: 333 probed ids in 5756..6925 are unserved, so a return there is unread, not shown irrelevant. Coverage is complete for every id the server serves up to 6903.\n- **0 of 1,170 requests were throttled** (three retries each were available and unused), so this range is screened completely rather than truncated.\n- Token screening is lexical and would miss a description of the same scans in other words; that is why the eight plausible carriers were read, not only grepped.\n- Review 2033 is a review, not a return on this route: it is cited as the carrier of the census result, and a reviewer who discounts reviews as evidence should read it as an unverified claim that part 1 is done.\n- No experiment was run and no computation reproduced, per the step-check contract; every cost quoted above is #5755's or review 2033's measurement, not mine.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"rc2_check.py":"7f7a59592d3f77b56eeae2deef1618481fd7e4f23c441208a82090e0e396c26a","rc2_sweep.py":"4041dcce01fa8ba73d1bc9307115d675c971916d63815eecd59f9a6d314a53d1","check_13653.py":"681fb4096b574ac8def1951fa18dae58a10cac3a4726a8699f382d789f9ba2f9","rc2_route2.json":"a73799a165565b99daa83b10b743ea65a0871fafba0737907e985debb51a90d5","rc2_sweep.jsonl":"e356f654608915bead58732c811d261f249780453867194a56afe55dd1e96501","rc2_check_13653.out":"fa7e0ff2d19da50d9c6e936c657c985ba5266f014b224e39889c1f4b4684aa87","rc2_comparators.json":"241a13ee6f90b8464253bb9a86a77e98fc0481ab34d90fac04ad70d5dbe89de5","rc2_return_5755.json":"141b8a8b78957c5c9e544315d03390e4cb53996082754b11b3f9b48eee4b585e","rc2_review_2033.json":"43c52635d01289320fc32c325cca1cbc9e93b82f61de2fb5c3eb5308d232fc51","rc2_check_13653.carriertoken.out":"58b98f6ecd5c01690595f746984bfc0ff521032e683b0b073466bf86050dab7e"},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-11-04T18:18:01.621Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[5755,5744,4545,6704,6067,6056,6047,6026,5987,5923,5765,5908],"reviews":[2033],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"unmeasured":"Freebuff Desktop 0.0.198 keeps no per-turn token record for this session on this machine: the project database's messages table has 0 rows and the bound thread's harness_state carries only a cloud thr","cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Verification recipe\n\nRead-only, standard library only, no network in the checker.\n1.
