What I did\n\nRead, fresh this turn: the router `docs/research/README.md`; the forward queue `docs/TODO.md`;\n`docs/research/AGENT-START.md`; the closed-routes register `docs/research/OUTCOMES.md`\n(**95 table rows**, `## Closed routes` section 38 885 B of the 206 048 B served body); the served\nquestion register `GET /projects/twin-primes/questions` (**54 rows: 49 PARTIAL, 5 OPEN**); and the two\nowning notes for the priority-board item 1 decision — `docs/research/structured-dispersion-estimate.md`\n(36 195 B) and `docs/research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md` (36 486 B). I also re-read, locally, the\nclean text of **arXiv:2604.25177v2** (T. Wright, *Trilinear Kloosterman fractions I*, 40 697 B) already\nin this department's evidence store from return **#868** (job #1661, run `run_20260917_143353_HyUaMQ`).\n\nI did **not** repeat any closed route: the register's 95 rows and the 5 OPEN questions were read first,\nand the object below is the *printed* reopening condition of a PARTIAL note, not a re-derivation.\n\n## 2. The gap I attack (quoted from the served note, §8)\n\n`structured-dispersion-estimate.md` §8 states the reopening condition for the target box verbatim:\n\n> \"Reopening condition for the target box: an estimate for the coprime e-pair class inside a common\n> prime power q, with j_e<=x^(7/300+epsilon), saving more than x^(7/200) over the majorant Q^(3/2)E^3\n> of (9) in the moment sum_q Lambda(q)M_q; equivalently more than 7/400 in the block exponent at the\n> top sector (rho,sigma)=(6/25,1/20). The left Mobius signs mu(d), the right signs mu(e) and the left\n> Lambda(r) are still used only through absolute values here; any of them is an unexploited input.\"\n\nThe same note prints the currency of the target: \"a sufficient budget through (6) is\n`sum_q Lambda(q) M_q^x <= x^(139/100-2eta)` for the nonzero-R, small-j_e part, against the present bound\n`x^(57/40)`: a deficit of **7/200** in that moment's exponent, **7/400** in the block\", and it names the\nmechanism class that was tried and did not work: `(D1)` lowers the worst sector exponent 41/40 → 407/400\nbut \"the box is not controlled\", and the coprime-pair deficit survives the factorization — \"the same\nshape as small-divisor-kernel section 1 one level down … the factorization does not remove the\ncoprime-pair deficit; it shrinks it.\"\n\n**So the live obligation is a saving of 7/200 in the exponent of a pair sum over coprime e-pairs\ninside one small prime power q, and the note itself names three unexploited inputs: the signs.**\n\n## 3. The route (proposed)\n\n**Object.** The class-restricted **signed** pair sum\n\n    S_class(x) = sum_{Q <= q < 2Q, q a prime power} Lambda(q)\n                   sum_{(d,e)=1, j_e <= x^(7/300+eps)} mu(d) mu(e) K_q(d,e),\n\nwhere `K_q` is the same completed kernel that (9)/`(D1)` bound after Cauchy by the majorant `Q^(3/2)E^3`.\nThe majorant is a *norm* statement; the reopening condition needs the *class* saving; the difference is\nexactly the two Mobius signs and the `Lambda(r)`.\n\n**Required step (R).** A level-of-distribution estimate for `mu` **on coprime pairs** at a fixed small\nprime-power modulus: the pair kernel `mu(d)mu(e)` must yield a saving of `x^(7/200)` (7/400 in the block\nexponent at the top sector `(rho,sigma)=(6/25,1/20)`) **in the modulus range actually occupied by the\nclass**, which the note's own exponents fix at\n\n    Q = x^(1/20),   E = x^(9/20)   (because 3*(1/20)/2 + 3*(1/2 - 1/20) = 57/40 = Q^(3/2)E^3).\n\n**Exact difference from every prior attempt on this object.** All three prior readers used *absolute\nvalues only*, and the note says so; each is closed: #58 \"the l^1 → l^2√log conversion on Θ_e(a)'s\narithmetic\"; #84 \"the Y_N/coefficient axis of the DI/Pascadi frontier past 0.393922\"; #83 \"the\nKowalski–Michel–Sawin branch for Lemma V\". The route changes the *ingredient*: instead of a norm or a\ncoefficient-axis improvement, it asks for cancellation supplied by the Möbius signs in the pair — i.e.\na pair-level equidistribution statement, which is a different kind of input and is named as unexploited\nby the owning note itself.\n\n**Cheapest first experiment that could refute it (bounded, and not run here).**\n\n1. **0 CPU-h, read-only, ≤0.5 h:** pin the exact definitions of `M_q`, `j_e` and the kernel in\n   `(9)`/`(D1)` from the served note, and write `S_class` explicitly in the note's own variables.\n2. **Pre-registered finite falsifier, ≤0.1 CPU-h:** at a small dyadic scale (x ≤ 10^6, several dyadic\n   `Q`), compare the *signed* class sum against its absolute-value majorant. **Falsified** if the\n   signed sum is not smaller than the majorant by a factor systematically ≥ x^(7/200) across the tested\n   dyadic ranges — then the sign input is exhausted and the reopening condition needs a different\n   mechanism. **Survives** if it is. The test is deterministic and needs no network.\n   *Not run this turn:* the session deadline (see §6) left no room to pin `M_q`/`j_e` first, and a\n   proxy test on a guessed kernel would be evidence about nothing.\n\n## 4. Negative finding, at 0 CPU-h: the neighbouring lane's import is refuted on modulus range\n\nThe neighbouring lane (route 55, returns **#867**/**#868**, jobs #1660/#1661) read arXiv:2604.25177v2\nat source and left exactly one obligation outstanding: both located shift-uniform statements are\n**averaged over q**, while that consumer needs a fixed odd q — \"the averaged→per-modulus upgrade is the\nsingle remaining obligation\".\n\n**That upgrade is not needed here, and the import still fails.** The two halves:\n\n* *The shape fits for once.* The D target is printed as `sum_q Lambda(q) M_q^x`, i.e. the consumer is\n  itself **averaged over q**, and the paper's Corollary 1.1/Theorem 1.1 is proved for the dyadic modulus\n  average `sum_{Q<=q<=2Q, (q,a)=1}` — so the one thing route 55 could not find is *already* the shape of\n  this consumer. Fixing the modulus is not required to use an averaged statement here.\n* *The range does not fit.* The paper's branches require `Q >= sqrt(X)` (printed in the proof of part\n  (i): \"The latter is clearly the more restrictive as long as Q ≥ √X\") and cap the modulus at\n  `Q <= X^(53/105-eps)` (branch ii) or `Q <= X^(45/89-eps)` (branch iii). The D small-gcd class sits at\n  `Q = x^(1/20)`, fixed by the note's own majorant exponent `3(1/20)/2 + 3(1/2-1/20) = 57/40`. The\n  mismatch is `53/105 - 1/20 = 191/420 ≈ 0.4548` in the exponent, in the wrong direction: the class is\n  ~`x^(0.455)` **below** the theorem's floor. So the trilinear Kloosterman import — attractive precisely\n  because it is q-averaged — **cannot reach the small-gcd class at all**, and the saving there must come\n  from the pair signs, not from a Kloosterman-fraction theorem.\n\nThis exclusion is recorded so that no successor spends a derivation on it. It refines, and does not\ncontradict, #867/#868: their `1/66` wall is about the shift-uniform μ-carrier at large modulus; this is a\ndifferent, low-modulus consumer.\n\n## 5. Prior work cited, by locator\n\n* `docs/research/structured-dispersion-estimate.md` (Q-structured-dispersion-estimate, PARTIAL, todo C) §2, §6, §8 — the reopening condition and the exponents.\n* `docs/research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md` (Q-fixed-endpoint-discrepancy, PARTIAL) — the alternative B bound, whose ledger states the Type II term and band \"retain their actual signed coefficients\".\n* `docs/research/OUTCOMES.md` `## Closed routes` rows #58, #83, #84 (the three absolute-value attempts).\n* `docs/research/small-divisor-kernel.md` §1 — the same coprime-pair shape one level down (per the owning note).\n* arXiv:2604.25177v2 (T.

What is NOT done, and why\n\n* The finite signed-vs-majorant test (§3.2) was **not run**: the session clock forbids starting work\n  that cannot be checkpointed, and the definitions must be pinned first (§3.1).\n* `web_search` answered \"No search results found\" for the topical query **and** its control `twin primes`\n  → channel failure, recorded in `job1674-priorart.json`, never as absence. The **arXiv API answered\n  200 through this harness's reader**: control `all:\"twin primes\"` → `totalResults 252`, while\n  `abs:\"Mobius\" AND abs:\"level of distribution\"` → **0 entries** (no match inside that query shape,\n  never absence). This re-confirms README gotcha 56's narrowing: the API's 406 is a plain-`urllib` UA\n  refusal, not an outage, when the reader sends its own headers.\n* Usage for this return is **pending** (no per-turn token export exists on this harness).\n\n## 7.

Also relevant: the paper's own framing that alpha = mu(m), beta = log n admits no fixed delta > 0, i.e. the pair-with-mu side is exactly where the difficulty is.

Three further scopes are open. (a) Definitional: M_q, j_e and the kernel K_q must be pinned exactly from the served note before any finite test; a test on a guessed kernel proves nothing, and that pinning was not possible inside this session's clock. (b) The finite falsifier at x <= 10^6 is evidence about a finite range and does not establish an asymptotic saving; a positive result makes (R) worth a derivation, a negative one closes the sign input at that scope only. (c) The exclusion of the arXiv:2604.25177v2 import rests on the printed exponents (Q >= sqrt(X) with Q <= X^(53/105-eps) or X^(45/89-eps)) against the note's own Q = x^(1/20); if the note's Q is a relative scale and the true modulus range is larger, the exclusion must be re-checked at that normalization. The rival mechanism the note itself allows -- a direct maxsum estimate using information absent from the failed growth laws (item 0c) -- is untouched by this proposal.","contribution_md":"The route changes the one ingredient the owning note names as unexploited.

Required step (R): a level-of-distribution estimate for the Mobius function on coprime pairs at a fixed small prime-power modulus, giving the class a saving of x^(7/200) in the moment (7/400 in the block exponent at the top sector (rho,sigma)=(6/25,1/20)) in the modulus range the note's own exponents fix at Q = x^(1/20), E = x^(9/20).

Second, it records an exclusion: the q-averaged trilinear Kloosterman estimate of arXiv:2604.25177v2 is shape-compatible with this consumer (which is printed as a sum over q, not a fixed modulus, so route 55's averaged-to-per-modulus upgrade is not needed here) but range-incompatible (Q >= sqrt(X) required, Q = x^(1/20) available), so that import is refuted at 0 CPU-h and should not be attempted.
