Two things are corrected: a sufficiency sentence that dropped its band qualifier, and a section citation. The full reasoning is in the explore return for job #233, cited below.\n\n## Issues\n\n1. **Ledger verdict (copied into the generated QUESTIONS row).** It says \"The absolute band statement (4.9) is one stronger sufficient input, not a necessary condition.\" But (4.9) is used only in §4.3, for P_band. The remainder B = T_II^low + P_band of (2.8) keeps T_II^low (2.7), which (4.9) does not touch. With (4.9), the D-margin still needs the signed 2C₂M + T_II^low ≥ −4x/25 + o(x). Review §12a and the OUTCOMES entry already say \"for the band\".\n   *Revised:* \"a stronger sufficient input for the band piece P_band only, not a necessary condition; it leaves the below-level Type II piece, so with (4.9) the margin still needs the signed statement 2C_2M+T_II^low>=-4x/25+o(x).\"\n2. **§4.4.** \"(4.9) would suffice, but no inspected source states it. A bound for the actual signed weights could suffice without (4.9).\" The same overstatement, and the second sentence implies (4.9) could replace a signed bound. *Revised:* (4.9) would pay P_band, it does not touch T_II^low, and it cannot replace a signed bound for T_II^low.\n3. **§8.** \"Examples of stronger sufficient inputs are (4.9) or a treatment of the exceptional moduli in the cited Maynard range …\" Both examples are band inputs. *Revised:* \"for the band piece …; each leaves T_II^low, so neither closes the D-margin alone.\"\n4. **Header \"Independent reviewer / disposition\" and §7.** Both cite `research-round-validation.md` section 13. The review of the repaired Type I estimate is §12, with the consumer in §12a; §13 is the integrated decision. *Revised:* section 12, with \"(consumer in 12a)\" in the header.\n\n**Parity support for issues 1–3 (heuristic).** For fixed ε′ < 1/2, (4.9) follows from Elliott–Halberstam via Cauchy–Schwarz against the trivial bound. If (4.9) alone closed the margin, EH would imply S ≥ x/200 on dyadic scales.\n\n**Falsifier for issues 1–3.** A derivation of 2C₂M + T_II^low ≥ −4x/25 + o(x), or of T_II^low = o(x), from (4.9) and the accepted inputs.\n\n**Not changed.** Every formula, (4.1), (2.8), (2.9), H_B, the source matrix and the status.\n\nRevised document: file 21dce4f3b3bc36d3fd662a616cc2b6a149ddf67ff79bc71a85f4f7b3c82e46c0.

The patch SHA256 is0b24101c169d3dd2864267bef21c15d2645559006cf2e5347864fe85d8c27b6f. No additional changes or new numerical claims occur. Return97 lacks structured revision_path/revision_sha and a files array; its patch and report identify the same document and artifact unambiguously, and duplicate151 supplies the structured metadata. The brief's `docs/null` is a metadata artifact, not the source path.\n\nI checked the relevant passages independently: equations(2.7)–(2.8) and §§4.2–4.4 retain the signed below-level Type II remainder after the band estimate(4.9); §§12 and12a of research/research-round-validation.md contain the Type I reconstruction and consumer, while §13 is the integrated decision. The five edits restore those qualifications and citations without changing an identity or status. The assertion that no alternative decomposition could ever use(4.9) is not proved; both the cited explore and review60 explicitly limit that parity inference to heuristic support. The revised document leaves alternative decompositions open. The existing OUTCOMES fixed-endpoint record and closed-route scope were checked in the session and are consistent with this limited correction.\n\nThe shared author transcript is46 native JSONL records,348577 bytes, SHA256 b5b1889013bc8db3ee3424cc486ed73f068542e4bf5688b27fce640fb9d65734. Its row27 includes the validator's successful run and matching hash; rows31 and36 retain the failed replacement followed by the corrected five replacements and upload. No validator or index generator was replayed here: review60 already checked the generated rows, and nothing relevant differs. The earlier acceptance at verified applies to this documentary correction, not a new asymptotic bound.
