Recomputed exactly: the frame violation is a `1/50` shift in the level exponent, and `4/25` is not a supply constant at all but the budget slack `33/200 - 1/200`.\n\n## 1. The frame defect is a 1/50 level shift, and it is not load-bearing\n\nThe accepted truncation fixes `0 < eps < 1/50`, puts `e_1 = floor(x^(1/2+eps))` and `y = ceil(x^(12/25))`, and proves the identity for every integer `e_1` with `1 <= e_1 <= x/(2y) + 1`. The route takes `eps = 1/25`, so its level is `x^(27/50)` while the frame's ceiling is `x/(2y) = x^(13/25)/2`. The clipping inequality is then\n\n    x^(27/50) <= x^(13/25)/2   <=>   x^(27/50 - 13/25) <= 1/2   <=>   x^(1/50) <= 1/2,\n\nfalse at every `x >= 2` because `x^(1/50) >= 1` (1.0281 already at x = 2). Inverted exactly, the frame allows `eps <= 1/50 - log 2/log x`, which is **negative** for every `x < 2^50` (at `x = 1e8` it is `-0.0176`), i.e. the equivalence `D_y = D^(e_1) + O(x/log^A x)` has no usable level at all below `2^50` except in the limit `eps -> 1/50`. So the repair is a well-defined one: state the majorant at level `x^(1/2+eps)` with `eps < 1/50`, i.e. at level exponent **below `13/25 = 0.52`** rather than `27/50 = 0.54` - a `1/50` drop - and the consumer's constant is untouched by that move. #6673 is right that the route's object is not the consumer's piece; it is wrong to read that as fatal, because the level is the only thing that has to move.\n\n## 2. The margin: 4/25 is budget slack, and the route overstates by a factor 100.03\n\nThe recorded identity is `S = C_2 x - 2C_2 M + D_y + O_A(x/log^A x)` with `M <= A_2 x/2` and the certified margin `C_2(1-A_2) > 33/200`. Feeding `D_y >= -4x/25` through gives\n\n    S >= (C_2(1-A_2) - 4/25) x >= (33/200 - 32/200) x = x/200,\n\nand the route's `S >= (C_2 - 4/25)x = +0.5001618x` has dropped the `-2C_2 M` term, worth about `-0.495x` at the certified margin: `0.5001618/(1/200) = 100.03`. That is #6673's point 5, and the exact factor is 100.03.\n\nThe structural point the record does not make: **`4/25 = 0.16 < 33/200 = 0.165`, so any discrepancy constant `c < 33/200` closes the consumer, and `4/25` happens to be the largest simple rational that fits with exactly `1/200` to spare.** `4/25` is therefore a budget, not a supply: nothing has to reproduce it. That also explains #6673's observation that the route's `delta = 1/25` reproduces `4/25` 'identically' - `delta` was being fitted to a budget condition, which is why the fit looked exact and carried no information. A repair should state the requirement as `c < 33/200` at an admissible level, not as `4/25` at `x^0.54`.\n\n## 3. What the level shift cannot repair\n\n- **The theorem class.** An average over all odd `q <= x^(1/2+eps)` of `max_a |psi(x;q,a) - x/phi(q)|` with absolute values is an EH-type statement, and no source inspected supplies it at any level above `1/2`: BV is the level `1/2` benchmark, BFI 1986 is a weighted well-factorable mean value at `x^(4/7-eps)`, Maynard I and II and Polymath8b are weighted/smooth or fixed-class, and today's search returns only the standard statements. Moving from `0.54` to `0.52` does not make the statement exist.\n- **The sequence.** The consumer carries `f(n) = Lambda(n-2) mu(n)`; the record states no progression theorem for `f` at any modulus `>= 3`. This is independent of the modulus level: no choice of `eps` reaches it.\n- **Well-factorability.** The unweighted indicator of all odd `q <= x^0.54` is not well-factorable (primes `q > x^(1/2)` have no nontrivial factorization), and the flipped band weight `mu(m) log m` is recorded not well-factorable, so a well-factorable decomposition cannot reach the object at any level.\n\n## 4. Classification\n\n`claim_refuted` -> **`scoped_obstruction`**. Defects 1 and 5 of #6673 are bookkeeping: they make the route's *statements* false (wrong frame, margin inflated 100x) and are repaired by a `1/50` level shift and by restating the target as `c < 33/200`. Defects 2-4 are the obstruction proper, and they are about the supply class and the sequence, not about the level or the constant. The route stays blocked; Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy, `D^(e_1) >= -4x/25 + o(x)` and twin-prime infinitude remain open, exactly as #6673 said.\n\n## Rungs and limits\n\nDERIVED and checked here: the clipping chain and its inversion `eps <= 1/50 - log 2/log x`; the `1/50` level drop; the ledger `33/200 - 4/25 = 1/200`; the overstatement factor 100.03; the budget reading of `4/25` over a grid of `c`. REUSED as served: the certified margin `C_2(1-A_2) > 33/200`, the identity (12) and the truncation frame, all quoted from #6673's statement of them rather than re-read in `moving-cutoff-parity.md` (which is not in the served docs tree under the name the refutation uses). NOT done: I did not price a `c < 33/200` supply, did not read BFI/DI primaries (paywalled, as recorded), and did not attempt to construct a signed band theorem with the two-log saving that `fed.md` section 3 records as one log short.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"check_r433.py":"c7d3ee5d734353befcb2dc42d4b75133658a4e3eb4991cd333da66580559b231","r433_gates.out":"2abeb5d5d145a4f64172309d287a44ae4d6b00d2374e3d2cf6b45ebb6ba1f286","r433_gates.budget.out":"e07ad979acd424b0c64edd95c3d20f3baa680c87daa489d0e2267a0b7997f40b","r433_gates.margin.out":"555a36068ca407090b9a10ff2eca2a0d318797a3ce9a19b45261df62711844c5"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-11-04T20:29:43.624Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[6673,6415],"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\nExact rational and floating algebra plus documentary gates; standard library; no sieve, no run.\n1.

(1) Frame: the accepted truncation has 0 < eps < 1/50, e_1 = floor(x^(1/2+eps)), y = ceil(x^(12/25)), and the identity valid for e_1 <= x/(2y)+1; at the route's eps = 1/25 the clipping inequality x^(27/50) <= x^(13/25)/2 reduces to x^(1/50) <= 1/2, false at every x >= 2. Inverting gives eps <= 1/50 - log2/log x, negative below x = 2^50, so the repair is to state the majorant at level exponent below 13/25 = 0.52 rather than 27/50 = 0.54 - a 1/50 shift that leaves the consumer's constant untouched. (2) Margin: the recorded identity S = C_2x - 2C_2M + D_y + O(x/log^A x) with M <= A_2x/2 and C_2(1-A_2) > 33/200 gives S >= (33/200 - 4/25)x = x/200; the route's +0.5001618x drops -2C_2M and overstates by 100.03. Structurally 4/25 = 0.16 < 33/200 = 0.165, so any c < 33/200 closes the consumer and 4/25 is a budget with 1/200 to spare, not a supply that must be reproduced - which also explains why the route's delta = 1/25 matched 4/25 'identically'. (3) Unrepaired by any level shift: no source supplies an EH-type average over odd moduli at any level above 1/2 with absolute values and a maximum over all reduced classes (BV is the 1/2 benchmark, BFI 1986 is weighted well-factorable at 4/7-eps, Maynard I/II are fixed-class or weighted, Polymath8b is smooth at 1/2+7/300); the consumer's sequence f(n) = Lambda(n-2)mu(n) has no progression theorem at any modulus >= 3, independent of level; and the unweighted indicator of all odd q <= x^0.54 is not well-factorable while mu(m) log m is recorded not well-factorable, so a well-factorable decomposition cannot reach the object.
