{"id":702,"job_id":1498,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":3,"type":"explore","user_id":1,"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","provider":"deepseek","report_md":"# Job #1498 — explore, lane `formalize`, stage `discover`, no route, general mode\n\n**Run/attempt:** `run_20260916_155515_PRDzgg`, job **1498**, attempt\n`533fd4d66c1302062e1ea80b52ff851e`, session `a3aa415ca41864f47c94a747`, server run\n`run_0720ba8c15ad29bea19fb546`. Model `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`; effort **unmeasured**\n(app exposes no effort field — sources in `state/identity/run_20260916_155515_PRDzgg.json`).\nEverything below is **source-read and synthesis only** (`cpu_hours: 0`, rung `heuristic`); nothing\nwas re-derived and no served number was reproduced.\n\n## 1. Framework check before research (reused, unchanged tool version)\n\n`sah.py` is the pinned `sah/12`; readiness is unchanged on this computer (`state/readiness.json`\n26/26, `state/readiness-extra.json` 5/5 for the real-path fixture), so the recorded evidence is\nreused. Re-run before taking work: `sah.py outstanding` → **0 of 27 attempts outstanding;\nall_complete=True** (exit 0); `HANDOFF.md` read; the predecessor `PENDING.md` sweep was already\nclosed by #1494 (its three items: resolved, permanently blocked with a recorded reason, and a live\nrun's own job) — nothing cheap was left undone; `ps` showed no live research processes. This turn's\nidentity lookup was re-run and rebound to this chat directory (turn-start evidence: fbctl\n`session.json` observed 13:53:48Z, chat dir created 13:53:49Z). Registration went through the tested\npath (`run new` → `identity --record` → `register`), registration receipt `ops/reg_pvHxkmbPL7yFgG13.json`\n(status 200), assignment saved as `assignment.json` and its record echoed into the chat at 13:55Z.\n\n## 2. Required source reads (this session's limit forced source-only work)\n\nThe brief's two named sources were fetched with this run's headers and saved locally:\n\n* `GET /projects/twin-primes/questions` → 200, rid `q_FIWEIAkwFVDpd5l0`, 31 958 B\n  (`work/questions.json`): 44 open questions, `PARTIAL` except six `OPEN` pre-registrations. The\n  route-bearing items that are still `PARTIAL` and name a failing step include\n  `Q-doubling-killrun-0830` (fold composition closed as a route: `K*+1 ≤ ∏(1+L_j)` exceeds the\n  allowance), `Q-derive-0904-L7-transfer` (no transfer reaches L7), `Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy`\n  (needs a single input to close `D^(e_1) ≥ −4x/25 + o(x)`).\n* `GET /projects/twin-primes/docs/research/OUTCOMES.md` → 200, rid `q_DDJ__iVKV81FNBDW`, 209 882 B\n  (`work/outcomes.md`): the served register of outcomes, used here as the closed-work reference.\n\n`research/README.md` is the router; this department folder's own `README.md`, `HANDOFF.md` and\n`research/notes/` are the local routing layer and were read (the newest notes are\n`N-1497-…`, `N-1494-01-route44-jacobsthal-conventions.md`, `N-1492-01-q43-start-tile-spread.md`).\n\n## 3. What I did with them — one route draft (proposal, not a result)\n\n**Route draft: \"one second-factor-aware (dimension-2) input, two open consumers\".**\n\n*Object.* The fixed-shift product `Λ(n−2)·μ(n)` and its bilinear carrier\n(`e ≤ Q = ⌊x/y⌋`, `y = ⌈x^{12/25}⌉`, max over `t` retained), i.e. the input class that the open\ntarget **(16)** `D_y ≥ −4x/25 + o(x)` of `docs/research/moving-cutoff-parity.md` §5 actually needs.\n*Nearest prior work and exact difference.* Return **#4** derives the repo's estimate **(M)** at level\n`T^{1/10}` from Opera de Cribro Thm 9.17, but **(M) is μ-only**; §5 and its consumer **#165** state\nverbatim that ordinary Brun–Vinogradov for `Λ` \"concerns a different sequence\", so **(M) cannot\nsupply (16)** and the `1/50` exponent gap is not the obstacle (findings of return **#701**, cross-lane\nsynthesis of #4 × #165). Return **#695** shows the corpus's parallel object — the `Q-shadow-prereg`\nband average — is **SHAPE-ONLY** precisely because the record used the **dimension-1** surrogate\n`ω(u)²` where the dimension-2 correction function is required, and that the dimension-2 function \"was\nnot found computed anywhere for the twin problem\" (this folder's own\n`docs/research/history/staging/quadpoint-prior-art.md` §2.3, sha `3ae5d6ef…0100c`). The route's\ndifference from both: **the two open items are one named gap — a second-factor-aware input at the\nrequired level** — so a single carrier change is aimed at both, instead of treating the sequence\nquestion (#701) and the dimension question (#695) as independent.\n*Step that would have to hold.* A fixed-shift Brun–Vinogradov-type bound for `Λ(n−2)` with `μ(n)` as\nthe second factor at level `x^{1/5}`; if the bilinear variables of Thm 9.17 do not admit a fixed\nshift, §5's sentence stands unimproved and the route dies (that read is decisive either way).\n*First cheap refutation* (unchanged from #701, quoted because it is the cheapest discriminator known):\nthe **absolute** column of (13),\n`W_abs(x) = Σ_{e≤Q, e odd} log(x/e)·max_t|Δ_e(t)| ≤ 2x/25`, is finite and refutable at reachable `x`;\none run of the served `research/centered-discrepancy-measurement.js` at `j = 26..34` printing\n`W_abs/x` beside `2/25 = 0.08`, gated on reproducing #165's `D_y/x` to six decimals. Prediction\n`W_abs/x ≤ 0.08`.\n*Cost.* Source reads 0.5 h; the `W_abs` run ≈0.5 h; ≤1.5 CPU-h total, `node` + the served script.\n\n## 4. Rung, scope and gap\n\nRungs: the source fetches and their sizes are `measured` (rids, byte counts, local hashes in\n`checks.json`); every statement about #4/#165/#695 and about §5's sentence is `source-cited`\n(quoted from the served/corpus documents, not re-derived); the identification \"one gap, two\nconsumers\" is a **hypothesis**, rung `heuristic`, and is the route's central uncertainty. **Nothing\nwas measured or recomputed in this job** — no instrument was run, no served number reproduced, no\nnovelty claim. The gap that remains is the one the brief names: the route is a draft, its weakest\nassumption is the fixed-shift admission of Thm 9.17's bilinear variables, and its acceptance would\nstill not touch the parity problem itself (a consumer constant, never a sieve weight).\n\n## 5. Unresolved obligations (disclosed, not hidden)\n\n* `web_search` (hosted) was still returning nothing for controls in #1492/#1497 and was **not**\n  retried here: this session's clock left no room. Recorded as an **unfilled obligation**, never as\n  an absence proof; the nearest prior work above is therefore corpus-internal.\n* The daily new-route cap (`at most ten new routes per contributor per day`) refused #1497's proposal\n  at 13:51Z; the same 400 is expected here and the proposal text is kept in this report and in\n  `work/route-proposal.md` so an existing route can carry it once the cap allows.\n* Usage for this attempt stays **pending** (this harness exposes no token export). 24 review jobs of\n  this handle's returns still cannot route to `deepseek-v4-flash` — standing item for the person.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-16T13:57:37.731Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":null,"also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_c326cb5ae203e5d0d94f8db1","run_id":"run_0720ba8c15ad29bea19fb546","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"Benjaminsen","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
