r"""v899 -- PRIME.PORT.CHRISTOFFEL.RATIO.01 + PRIME.CASE.KERNEL.SOS.01 + PRIME.CASE.EDGEDEFECT.01: THE CHRISTOFFEL PIVOT IDENTITY AND THE NORM-SQUARE CONTRACT -- the soft pivot is EXACTLY a deflated-Christoffel evaluation, the pair-contract kernel's entire negative content collapses to ONE top-edge tent, and the periodic full-weight fold KILLS that tent exactly: the conditional diagonal contract is a NORM SQUARE in the frequency weights, ONE module from three probes (19/19 + 15/15 + 19/19 checks, zero fails, verdicts CHRISTRATIO-MEASURED (WINNER-CHRISTOFFEL / EXTSOURCE-DECOUPLED(corr=0.454)) + KERNELSOS-MEASURED (INDEX=INDEX-LARGE; RMIN=1; ABSORB=NOT-ABSORBED; LEDGER=CONSISTENT) + EDGEDEFECT-MEASURED (TYPE=NORMSQUARE-ACHIEVED; KILL=PERIODIC; CHAIN=CARRIED(0.21)); discovery probes christoffel_ratio_probe.py, kernel_sos_probe.py (round 55) and edge_defect_kill_probe.py (round 56, SPEC v2), 2026-08-09, re-run identically at promotion, embedded BYTE-EXACT and executed verbatim, ~15 s).  (1) THE EXACT IDENTITY (christoffel; reviewer priority 3): 1/d_12 = 1 + v_* K_sigma(y_*) -- the last unpivoted LDL pivot of the wall window IS a Christoffel/CD-kernel evaluation of the DEFLATED signed functional sigma = mu_+ - nu_- (Woodbury + factor-Gram + block-inverse chain, verified through an independent h x h route at 2.0e-11 on every full rung, dense-warded on the two spot rungs); of the three reviewer identifications it WINS the boundedness exposure by TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE (max piece-variance 2.96 vs 362 (eig-product) / 430 (det-quotient)); THE HONESTY FENCE warded exactly: lambda_min(I - G) = tau_full EXACTLY -- identification (iii)'s positivity premise is the wall's own PD premise in Christoffel coordinates, a COORDINATE CHANGE, not an independent positivity source (the smooth control breaks BOTH premises: tau_12 <= 0 on 28/28 pairs AND sigma indefinite on 42/42 rungs); the boundedness content measured: c >= 1 exact (min c = 408), c'/c SENS [0.2233, 5.2583] on 29 pairs (RAW [0.0542, 23.62] on 31; the kz-21 pairs excluded per the round-53 COORDINATE-ARTIFACT rule, raw numbers printed), r_12 > 0 on 31/31, EXTSOURCE-DECOUPLED (corr(log c, log(lamR/tau)) = +0.454 < the 0.5 bar -- c is NOT literally the exterior reserve); THE PRINTED RATIO THEOREM: bounded c-ratio (H1) + positive pivot quotients (H2) + certified base (v884/v887/v897) => tau_h > 0 on the whole ladder -- (H1)/(H2) for ALL h are NOT proved, the census is finite.  (2) THE NEGATIVE INDEX (kernelsos; reviewer priority 4): the constructional frequency weights W_{f,m} >= 0 EXACTLY on every (rung, zone alias) of the frozen census (79 pairs; 8 rungs kz 9/12/13/26/40/88/90/116 to h = 1433); every negative DCT coefficient of the extracted v894 pair-contract kernel is CLOSED-FORM boundary leakage ctil_f = W_f - mult_f (T0 + (-1)^f T1)/(2L) of the symmetric extension -- NOT arithmetic; in u-space the ENTIRE negative content collapses to ONE top-edge tent (r_min <= 1) with the explicit edge functional (T1/2) E; typed honestly INDEX-LARGE (raw negative index 280..2847 -- all boundary dust) and NOT-ABSORBED (worst |N|/margin = 1.381 at kz 9 alias 9): the raw kernel is a positive-weight finite-band Weil-positivity instance with one edge defect, NOT a known unconditional case (every deployed band exceeds the classical window (-log 2, log 2) by 8..18x; the named partial inputs do not apply at these finite X).  (3) THE KILL (edgedefect; round 56): the round-55 defect is an EXTENSION-CONVENTION ARTIFACT (the DCT-I halving w_{M-1} = 1 at the fold point) and DIES under the PERIODIC full-weight fold -- the cosine weights become EXACTLY the constructional W_{f,m} >= 0 (negative index 0 everywhere, dust AND exact-sign count), all 79/79 modified margins positive, the kz-9-alias-9 absorption failure disappears (ratio 1.381 -> 0.000), and the boundary term beta = -(T1/2)(E - E0) is carried CLOSED-FORM and comb-computable (max |beta|/margin~ = 0.21, both signs occur -- CHAIN=CARRIED, the implication chain to T_h <= 1 on the critical zone stays exact); the alternatives fail honestly (DIRICHLET: the boundary coefficient persists exactly at T1/2 and the interior sine weights go signed -- the positivity link to W is LOST; TAPER: T0 leakage, index 295..1168; ENLARGE: the defect MOVES to the new top tent at the old edge).  NET: the conditional diagonal contract of v894 is now an UNCONDITIONAL NORM SQUARE in the frequency weights (case 1 of the reviewer's trichotomy, achieved at the FINITE level) -- THE ARITHMETIC HYPOTHESIS ITSELF REMAINS CONDITIONAL (pair-correlation class per v889), exactly as before; no marker moves.  NO RH claim.  Float64 on the deployed v563 machinery (READ-ONLY) with exact/closed-form decisions where typed EXACT; no zeros, no prime oracles (AST firewalls inside the probes; own trial-division sieve warded against the deployed table); RNG only in the declared scramble controls (seed 1).  Python-only per GATE.WOLFRAM.02.

PROVENANCE: discovery probes christoffel_ratio_probe.py (19/19,

E0 lag-vs-primitive comparison; no census rule, no bar and no

FIREWALL: no zeros, no prime-table oracles; the norm-square form
is a REORGANIZATION of the conditional contract -- its
nonnegativity is NOT claimed; the deflated-Christoffel positivity
premise is the wall's own PD premise in new coordinates (the fence
is part of the promoted statement).  The diagonal route stays
typed CONDITIONAL (pair-correlation class) per v889.  NO RH claim.

r"""christoffel_ratio_probe -- PRIME.PORT.CHRISTOFFEL.RATIO.01
(EXPLORATION ONLY, experiments/; round 55, reviewer priority 3
('the probably shortest analytic theorem'): identify the soft-flag
constant c_h = d_{12,h}/tau_h as an INDEPENDENT positive
determinant/Christoffel quantity, so that bounded c-ratios +
positive pivot quotients => tau-sign propagation.  2026-08-09.)

THE QUESTION (frozen).  Round 52 (relative_flag_margin_probe,
PRIME.PORT.RELFLAG.01) factored the dangerous soft-flag quotient
EXACTLY as r_12 = (tau'/tau) x (c'/c) with c_h = d_{12,h}/tau_h,
and measured c trendless (quartiles 1163/2117/2930) after the
kz-21 COORDINATE-ARTIFACT (round 53, kz21_outlier_probe:
c(kz21) = 50667 at h = 371, soft-mode weight collapse at window
coordinate 12; spread 124.2 -> 8.5 without it, SENSITIVITY).
The reviewer's three candidate identifications of c as an
independent quantity are derived EXACTLY and measured head to
head; the winner is the coordinate for the ratio theorem.

THE THREE IDENTIFICATIONS (exact algebra on A = I - C_J(h),
12x12, PD rungs; tau = lambda_min(A), d_12 the last unpivoted
LDL^T pivot; all warded):

 (i)   DETERMINANT QUOTIENT.  Pivot algebra: d_k =
       det A^(k) / det A^(k-1) (leading minors), so
         d_12 = det A / det A^(11),
         c = [det A / tau] / det A^(11)
       with A^(11) the leading 11x11 minor -- c is a quotient of
       two hard determinants over the wall scale.

 (ii)  EIGENPRODUCT.  det A = prod_r lambda_r = tau x
       prod_{r != soft} lambda_r (soft := the minimal eigenvalue;
       lambda_soft / tau == 1 IDENTICALLY since tau :=
       lambda_min -- the warded content is det A = prod_r
       lambda_r), so
         c = prod_{r != soft} lambda_r / det A^(11):
       the product of the 11 non-critical eigenvalues over the
       bulk determinant.

 (iii) DEFLATED-CHRISTOFFEL.  On the FULL wall A_full = I - E
       with E = B B^T, B = diag(sqrt(v)) P (P = the orthonormal
       polynomials of the deployed POSITIVE measure mu_+
       evaluated at the folded NEG nodes), Woodbury gives
         (I - E)^{-1} = I + B (I_h - G)^{-1} B^T,
         G = B^T B = sum_j v_j p(y_j) p(y_j)^T,
       where I_h - G is the moment (Gram) matrix of the DEFLATED
       signed functional sigma = mu_+ - nu_- in the mu_+-
       orthonormal basis.  With K_sigma(y, y) := p(y)^T
       (I_h - G)^{-1} p(y) the CD-kernel diagonal of sigma
       (lambda_sigma(y) = 1/K_sigma(y, y) its Christoffel
       function), the resolvent diagonal at the soft coordinate
       j* (fold index 24 = window coordinate 12) is
         (A_full^{-1})_{j*,j*} = 1 + v_* K_sigma(y_*)
       and the Schur block-inverse identity (A_12 = the Schur
       complement of A_full onto the window => A_12^{-1} =
       [A_full^{-1}]_{WW}) closes the chain:
         1/d_12 = (A_12^{-1})_{12,12} = 1 + v_* K_sigma(y_*)
         = 1 + v_* / lambda_sigma(y_*),
         c = d_12 / tau = 1 / (tau (1 + v_* K_sigma(y_*))).
       So d_12 IS a Christoffel evaluation of the deflated
       measure -- vs the plain CD-kernel diagonal E_{j*j*} =
       v_* K_mu(y_*) = T_* (christoffel_hypotheses machinery):
       the diagonal model 1/(1 - T_*) is replaced exactly by the
       deflated kernel.  HONEST NOTE (exact spectra): eig(I - E)
       = {1 - eig(G)} u {1}^(n-h), so lambda_min(I_h - G) =
       tau_full EXACTLY -- the deflated functional is PD iff the
       wall is PD: identification (iii) RELOCATES the positivity
       premise into Christoffel coordinates, it does not weaken
       it.  The independence claim lives in the BOUNDEDNESS
       (C2), not the positivity.

FROZEN PROTOCOL (all truth full-window rungs, frame-A zones,
h <= H_DEEP_MAX = 900; machinery verbatim from
relative_flag_margin_probe / kz21_outlier_probe):

 C1  THE THREE IDENTIFICATIONS, EXACTLY.  Per full rung print
     the ladder (kz, h, tau_full, tau_12, d_12, c, m_def =
     v_* K_sigma(y_*), (1-T_*)/d_12, lamR/tau_full).  WARDS
     (kill -> WARD-BROKEN):
       W-C1a  d_12 (minor quotient, slogdet route) ==
              1/(A_12^{-1})_{12,12} (inverse route), rel <=
              ID_WARD = 1e-9; leading-minor signs all +1.
       W-C1b  det A == prod_r lambda_r (12x12 eig route), log
              dev <= max(DET_WARD = 1e-8, 100 eps / tau_12);
              AND c == prod_{r != soft} lambda_r / det A^(11),
              same bar (identification (ii) exact up to the
              lambda_soft/tau ratio == 1 by construction).
       W-C1c  THE DEFLATION CHAIN: 1/d_12 == 1 + m_def, rel <=
              max(CHR_WARD_FLOOR = 1e-8, CHR_COND_FAC = 1e3 x
              eps / tau_full) per rung (two INDEPENDENT routes
              through different matrices; the bar is the honest
              floating-point floor of the 1/tau_full
              conditioning).
       W-C1d  c >= 1 - CGE1_WARD (= 1e-9) and tau_12 > 0 on
              every full truth rung (PD premise of the ladder).
       W-C1e  SPOT WARDS on the N_SPOT = 2 shallowest full-
              window+full-core rungs with h <= H_SPOT_MAX = 150
              (dense routes affordable there): tau_full ==
              lambda_min(A_full) dense (abs <= SPOT_WARD_ABS =
              1e-10); lamR == lambda_min(R) dense (abs <=
              SPOT_WARD_ABS); (A_12^{-1})_{12,12} ==
              [A_full^{-1}]_{j*,j*} dense solve == 1 + m_def
              (rel <= SPOT_WARD = 1e-8) -- the factor-Gram
              spectral identity and the block-inverse identity
              verified against dense linear algebra.
       W-C1f  REPRODUCTION (round 52/53 printed ledgers): 37
              full-window rungs; raw c quartiles q25/med/q75
              within 2e-2 of 1163/2117/2930; c(kz21) within
              2e-2 of 50667 at h == 371.

 C2  THE POSITIVITY SOURCE / EXPOSURE.  c > 0 is automatic on
     the PD ladder (both factors positive); the CONTENT is
     boundedness.  Decompose log c = log det A - log tau -
     log det A^(11) into the two pieces each identification
     names:
       (i)   N = log det A,            D = log tau + log det A11
       (ii)  N = log det A - log tau,  D = log det A11
       (iii) N = log d_12,             D = log tau
     and per identification print var(N), var(D), the OLS
     slopes of N and D vs log h, and corr(N, D), on the
     SENSITIVITY set (kz 21 excluded per the round-53
     COORDINATE-ARTIFACT rule; raw 37-rung values printed
     alongside).  TYPED WINNER (frozen rule, never kills):
     argmin_k max(var N_k, var D_k) -- the identification whose
     pieces are individually most bounded, i.e. whose
     boundedness of c depends least on cancellation ->
     WINNER-DETQUOT / WINNER-EIGPROD / WINNER-CHRISTOFFEL
     (ties, not expected: lowest k).  THE EXTERIOR CONNECTION:
     on full-window+full-core rungs print corr(log c,
     log(lamR/tau_full)) (raw AND sensitivity; the DECISIVE
     number) and the ratio ladder c/(lamR/tau_full) with
     quartiles -- is the measured 210..2200 exterior reserve
     (deepcore_schur) the SOURCE of c's boundedness?  TYPED
     (never kills): EXTSOURCE-COUPLED(corr) iff the sensitivity
     corr >= EXT_CORR_BAR = 0.5, else EXTSOURCE-DECOUPLED(corr).
     WARD (kill -> WARD-BROKEN): >= MIN_EXT_RUNGS = 25 rungs
     carry both objects.

 C3  THE RATIO THEOREM SHADOW.  On consecutive full-window
     pairs (round-52 census: 31): r_12 = d'_12/d_12 > 0 census,
     the c-ratio ladder c'/c printed in full; [m, M] = min/max
     RAW (31 pairs) and SENSITIVITY (pairs touching kz 21
     excluded, expected 29; the round-53 rule -- raw numbers
     stand, the typed range is the sensitivity one, said
     plainly).  THE THEOREM STATEMENT PRINTED with measured
     constants: IF 0 < m <= c'/c <= M for all h (bounded
     c-ratios, from the winner identification + the exterior
     reserve) AND r_12 > 0 for all h (positive pivot quotients;
     by (iii) equivalently the deflated functional stays PD --
     the SAME statement as the wall's PD in Christoffel
     coordinates) THEN tau'/tau = r_12 / (c'/c) > 0 (exact
     algebra), and with the certified base (v884/v887, declared
     inputs) tau_h > 0 on the whole ladder.  HONESTY LINE: which
     half is measured (r_12 > 0 on all pairs, c'/c in [m, M],
     the exterior reserve) vs which needs the theorem (both
     hypotheses for ALL h; nothing here proves them).  WARD
     (kill -> WARD-BROKEN): pair census == 31 and r_12 > 0 on
     every pair.

 C   CONTROLS (kill -> WARD-BROKEN if silent):
     C-S  smooth world (B1 LATTICE-SMOOTH masses m_n =
          2 e^{u_n/2} du_n on the true lattice, verbatim): the
          c-machinery must lose its PD premise -- REPRODUCTION:
          28 smooth full-window pairs with base tau_12 <= 0 on
          28/28 (relative_congruence / round-52 C2a verbatim);
          AND the (iii) premise breaks IDENTICALLY: tau_full =
          1 - lambda_max(G) < 0 (deflated functional indefinite)
          on >= 1 smooth rung, count + first h printed.
     C-E  Epstein x^2+5y^2 comb + scramble (seed 1) at kz 9:
          frame death OR neg(A) > 0 OR tau_12 <= 0; channel
          printed.

 W   PIPELINE WARDS (kill -> PIPELINE-BROKEN): W0 truth ladder

     full-window census == 37 (hirota); W0d >= 30 full-core

KILLS: KP a W ward breaks -> PIPELINE-BROKEN; KW a C1/C2/C3

SPEC v1 (2026-08-09, frozen + SHA-hashed before the first run):
everything above.  Mechanical concretizations frozen with v1:
(i) core.build_window results are memoized per (kz, seed)
(round-52 verbatim); (ii) ONE Gram E per rung; C_J is built by
the VERBATIM big Schur solve (round-52/53); all FULL-wall
spectral reductions (tau_full, neg counts, lamR) use the exact
factor-Gram identity eig(I - E) = {1 - eig(G)} u {1}^(n-h)
(h x h instead of n x n; spot-warded dense, W-C1e); (iii)
SENSITIVITY statistics = leave-kz-21-out per the round-53
COORDINATE-ARTIFACT diagnosis; typed labels use the sensitivity
values, raw values always printed first; (iv) variances are
population variances (np.var, ddof 0); quartiles np.percentile
linear; OLS slope as in round 52; (v) logs of determinants via
slogdet (signs warded +1); (vi) smooth/control rungs run LIGHT
(G + 12-window only; no core split).

HONEST FRAME: all three identifications are EXACT algebra on PD
rungs -- warded bookkeeping, zero content by themselves.  The
content is (a) WHICH decomposition carries the boundedness with
the least cancellation (measured, typed), (b) whether the
exterior reserve is correlated with c (measured), and (c) the
measured [m, M] of the c-ratio.  The census is FINITE: nothing
here proves the ratio bound or the pivot positivity beyond the
deployed rungs; identification (iii)'s positivity premise is the
wall's own PD premise in different coordinates (said above,
printed again in C3).  NO RH claim.  No marker moves.

FIREWALL: no zeros, no prime oracles (AST scan; banned ids
zetazero / nzeros / primerange / isprime / primepi / nextprime /

reviewer's frame): the contract's first-order form is LINEAR in the
comb masses mu; the pair kernel enters only through the quadratic
remainder / the variance reading.  THE CLEAN OBJECT for the SOS

whether the cosine-coefficient structure is one-signed (then the
functional is a positive-frequency-weight pairing of the explicit-
formula spectral density -- the classical Weil-positivity shape) or
signed (then the negative index r = the number of negative
frequency weights obstructs the SOS reading).

THE EXACT ALGEBRA (frozen; all finite linear algebra on the
deployed v563 family): the node samples are K_i := K_{h,m}(iD)
= -(1/2) w_i sum_g W_{g,m} cos(i theta_g), theta_g = 2 pi g / L,
L = 2M - 2, w_i = 2 - delta_{i,0} - delta_{i,M-1}.  Writing the
DCT-I inversion -K_i = sum_{f=0}^{M-1} ctil_f cos(i theta_f)
(orientation frozen: ctil = the cosine weights of -K, so that the
constructional weights W enter with a PLUS sign), the endpoint
deficit of w_i gives the CLOSED FORM
    ctil_f = W_{f,m} - (mult_f / (2L)) (T0 + (-1)^f T1),
    T0 = sum_g W_{g,m},  T1 = sum_g (-1)^g W_{g,m},
mult_f = 1 at f in {0, M-1} else 2.  W_{f,m} >= 0 EXACTLY by
construction (qt >= 0 times a square, plus a nonnegative diagonal
term), so every negative coefficient is the flat (rank-2 in i)
boundary leakage of the symmetric extension.  In u-space the same
identity reads (the u < D mirror of the deployed assembly exactly
restores the i = 0 endpoint deficit, checked as a ward):
    -K(u) = sum_f W_{f,m} phi_f(u) - (T1/2) tent_{M-1}(u)
on [0, 2 alpha], phi_f(u) = sum_i tent_i(u) cos(i theta_f): the
sole u-space defect is the single top-edge tent -- the minimal
Gram-difference has negative rank r_min <= 1, and its functional on
the truth comb is (T1/2) E, E = sum_n mu_n tent_{M-1}(log n).

FROZEN PROTOCOL (2026-08-09; constants frozen before the first
measurement run; heavy rungs + the deepest 3; budget < 15 min):

 RUNGS: heavy kz {9, 12, 13, 26, 40} + the deepest 3 with complete
   atom tables, kz {88, 90, 116} (verbatim eligibility and
   selection from christoffel_pnt_gamma_probe; X <= 4e5).
 ALIASES: all port aliases in the frozen critical zone -- truth
   neg nodes (d1(f) < 0, f >= 1) with a_{h,f} = 2 h^2 (1 - x_f)
   <= h^{2 theta*}, theta* = 0.700 (verbatim round-45/50
   bookkeeping); detail profiles at the critical alias
   m* = argmin_m (lambda_1 - nu_1)_m and at the a-closest alias.

 S1 THE EXACT SPECTRAL DECOMPOSITION (every rung, every zone
   alias): build W_{f,m} / chat / K at the atoms verbatim
   (kernel_block of paircorr_contract_probe) with the two round-50
   wards kept: (W1) prime-side form == grid form, rel <= 1e-10;
   (W2) K0 route a == route b, rel <= 1e-12.  Then the DCT over
   the exact band f = 0..M-1 by TWO exact routes: (route a) FFT of
   the symmetric extension of -K_i = chat_i/2; (route b) the
   closed form above.  NEW WARDS: (W3) constructional positivity
   min_{f,m} W_{f,m} >= 0 (exact); (W4) route a == route b, rel
   sup <= 1e-10 of max |ctil| (FFT imag residue <= 1e-9 rel).
   THE NEGATIVE INDEX: r(h, m) = #{f : ctil_f < -TOL_NEG max_f
   |ctil_f|}, TOL_NEG = 1e-12 (float-dust floor; the exact-sign
   count printed alongside), and the negative-mass fraction
   sum |ctil_-| / sum |ctil|.  Frequency-weight profiles printed
   at m* and rank 1: ctil at the f-deciles, the top-5 positive and
   top-5 negative modes (f, tau_f = 2 pi f/(L D), ctil, a_f,
   sector flags), n90 of |W|.  TYPING (frozen): INDEX-ZERO iff
   r = 0 at every (rung, zone alias); INDEX-SMALL iff max r <= 3;
   else INDEX-LARGE.

 S2 THE GRAM-DIFFERENCE + THE ABSORPTION TEST (if r > 0): the
   positive/negative frequency split IS the decomposition for a
   cosine kernel: with the variance-reading pair kernel
   Kpair(u,u') = sum_f ctil_f phi_f(u) phi_f(u') the explicit
   Gram difference is Kpair = Phi^T Phi - Psi^T J_r Psi,
   Phi = [sqrt(ctil_f^+) phi_f], Psi = [sqrt(|ctil_f^-|) phi_f],
   J_r = I_r, r = the negative index (printed).  MINIMAL reading:
   the exact boundary identity above, ward (W5) per alias at the
   functional level: |S1 + W.Chat - (T1/2) E| <= 1e-10 x scale,
   Chat_g = sum_i t_i cos(i theta_g), t_i = sum_n mu_n
   tent_i(log n) -- r_min <= 1 with the explicit edge functional
   (T1/2) E.  ABSORPTION: the exact repartition (ward W6, rel <=
   1e-10) J1 = sum_f ctil_f r(f) + B0 + B1, B0 = T0 (sum_f mult_f
   r_f)/(2L), B1 = T1 (sum_f mult_f (-1)^f r_f)/(2L); the
   negative-mode functional on the truth comb N_m = sum_{f:
   ctil < -bar} ctil_f r(f).  OVERLAP CENSUS of the negative-mode
   frequencies vs (a) the pole/arch layer {f : |d_ar(f)| >=
   |d0at(f)|} (arch density dominates the PNT-atom density),
   (b) the exterior zone a_f > h^{2 theta*}, (c) the 8 a-closest
   truth-neg core aliases; per-alias negative-mass shares, the
   union share, counts.  TYPED (frozen): ABSORBABLE(where) iff
   every measured margin (lambda_1 - nu_1)_m > 0 AND max_m
   |N_m| / margin_m <= 1 AND the mean union negative-mass share
   >= 0.90 (aliases with r = 0 vacuous, excluded from the mean);
   where = the dominant sector if its mean share >= 0.50, else
   UNION.  Else NOT-ABSORBED.

 S3 THE UNCONDITIONAL READING (deliverable): if INDEX-ZERO or
   ABSORBABLE, print the theorem-shaped statement -- the contract
   becomes a POSITIVE-weight band-limited explicit-formula
   positivity (weights W_{f,m} >= 0, even test functions phi_f
   supported in [-2 alpha, 2 alpha]) with one explicit rank-<=-1
   edge defect: a Weil-positivity instance on a FINITE band with
   positive weight.  THE HONEST CLASSICAL ASSESSMENT printed:
   unconditional Weil positivity is classical exactly when the
   test support fits inside (-log 2, log 2) (the prime side is
   empty and the archimedean side is positive); our band 2 alpha
   >> log 2 on every rung (printed per rung with X = e^{2 alpha}),
   so this is NOT a known unconditional case -- the named partial
   inputs (zero-free-region error, short-interval asymptotics for
   widths >= x^{0.525}) are NOT applicable at these finite X; the
   route REMAINS CONDITIONAL, but the hypothesis moves from a
   generically signed form into the classical positive-weight
   Weil class (+ the measured edge defect).  If INDEX-LARGE and
   NOT-ABSORBED: state plainly that the pair route stays
   conditional and genuinely pair-correlation strong.

 C  CONTROLS (kz 9, scramble seed 1, verbatim round-50 mirror:
   positions uniform on (0, 2 alpha), same masses): the scramble
   must flip the finite margins -- min_m (lambda_scr - nu_scr)_m
   <= 0 on the scramble zone aliases (fallback, disclosed if the
   zone set is empty: the 8 a-closest scramble neg nodes).
   Silent -> CONTROL-DEAD.

 SELF-TESTS (S0, kill PIPELINE on failure): (i) AST firewall
   clean; (ii) endpoint reconstruction (kz 9): the qt-route
   lambda/nu at the zone aliases vs the verbatim folded_measure
   route, rel <= 1e-8, at both t = 0 and t = 1; (iii) quadratic-
   form self-test per rung at both endpoints: sum_j w_j p*^2 ==
   lambda to rel 1e-8 (verbatim TOL_QF).

KILLS: chain short anywhere needed / self-test failure / zone
alias set empty on a rung -> PIPELINE-BROKEN; any ward W1..W6
failure -> WARD-BROKEN; value control silent -> CONTROL-DEAD.
S1 typing, S2 absorption and S3 outcomes are MEASUREMENTS, never
kills.

VERDICT (frozen enum): KERNELSOS-MEASURED (+ INDEX=<INDEX-ZERO |
INDEX-SMALL | INDEX-LARGE> + RMIN=<0 | 1> + ABSORB=<ABSORBABLE(
where) | NOT-ABSORBED | VACUOUS> + LEDGER=<CONSISTENT |
INCONSISTENT k/N>) / PIPELINE-BROKEN / WARD-BROKEN / CONTROL-DEAD.

SPEC AMENDMENTS (fail-first preserved):
  v1 (2026-08-09): initial freeze.  All kernel/endpoint machinery
  and tolerances are the round-50 frozen values, reused verbatim;
  the DCT orientation, TOL_NEG = 1e-12, the typing bars (0 / 3),
  the absorption bars (margin ratio 1, union share 0.90, dominance
  0.50) and the sector definitions (a)/(b)/(c) are frozen a
  priori, before any coefficient was computed.

NO RH claim: everything here is exact finite linear algebra on
the deployed v563 window family plus measured finite shadows; the
classical statement in S3 is NAMED and assessed, not proved; no
bound, no rate, no uniformity in h.  No marker moves.

FIREWALL: no zeros, no prime oracles beyond the deployed table
(AST scan: zetazero/nzeros/primerange/isprime/primepi/nextprime/
prevprime banned); v563 READ-ONLY; RNG only in the scramble
control; stdout only.

Sources (read-only): paircorr_contract_probe (node kernel,
kernel_block, wards W1/W2, margin ledger, control -- verbatim);
signed_homotopy_probe / christoffel_pnt_gamma_probe (rung set,
folded measures, Lanczos chain, closed-form PNT lags -- verbatim);

r"""edge_defect_kill_probe -- PRIME.CASE.EDGEDEFECT.01
(EXPLORATION ONLY, experiments/; round 56: kill the SINGLE top-edge
tent defect of the pair-contract kernel.  Round 55 (kernel_sos_probe)
reduced ALL negativity of the extracted kernel to ONE rank-1 edge
term -- an artifact of the symmetric extension, not arithmetic; this
probe tests three frozen modified constructions that could eliminate
it WITHOUT changing the contract's content, which would make the
conditional diagonal contract an unconditional norm square (the
reviewer's Fall 1).  2026-08-09.)

CONTEXT (machinery verbatim from kernel_sos_probe round 55 /
paircorr_contract_probe round 50): the node kernel of the contract
PRIME.CASE.PAIRCORR.CONTRACT.01 has node values
    v_i := -K_i = (w_i/2) sum_f W_{f,m} cos(i theta_f),
theta_f = 2 pi f / L, L = 2M - 2, w_i = 2 - delta_{i,0} -
delta_{i,M-1}, W_{f,m} >= 0 EXACTLY by construction.  The endpoint
weight deficit gives the exact identity
    v_i = sum_f W_f cos(i theta_f) - (T0/2) delta_{i,0}
                                   - (T1/2) delta_{i,M-1},
    T0 = sum_g W_g,  T1 = sum_g (-1)^g W_g,
whence the deployed (symmetric/Neumann, DCT-I) cosine weights
    ctil_f = W_f - (mult_f/(2L)) (T0 + (-1)^f T1),
and, with the deployed u < D mirror exactly restoring the i = 0
deficit, the u-space identity (round-55 ward W5, rel <= 1.5e-14)
    -K(u) = sum_f W_f phi_f(u) - (T1/2) tent_{M-1}(u),
phi_f(u) = sum_i tent_i(u) cos(i theta_f): ONE top-edge tent is the
sole defect (rank r_min <= 1), with functional (T1/2) E on the truth
comb, E = sum_n mu_n tent_{M-1}(log n).  Round 55 measured T1/T0 in
[-0.31, -0.23] and the absorption bar FAILING at kz 9 alias 9 with
|N|/margin = 1.381 (NOT-ABSORBED).  Round 50 measured all 79
(rung, zone-alias) finite margins positive on the heavy rungs.

THE THREE KILL CANDIDATES (frozen; closed forms derived a priori):

 (a1) DIRICHLET (antisymmetric / sine extension): represent the SAME
   node values on the interior sine basis with explicit boundary
   tents, psi_g = pi g / (M-1):
     v_i = sum_{g=1}^{M-2} s_g sin(i psi_g)
           + v_0 delta_{i,0} + v_{M-1} delta_{i,M-1},
     s_g = (2/(M-1)) sum_{i=1}^{M-2} v_i sin(i psi_g)   (DST-I).
   CLOSED FORM of the boundary coefficient: v_{M-1} = T1/2 exactly
   -- the T1 boundary term does NOT vanish and keeps its size
   |T1|/2; moreover the interior sine weights s_g carry no
   positivity link to W_f >= 0 (measured: negative-s census).

 (a2) PERIODIC (full-weight fold): the halving w_{M-1} = 1 is the
   symmetric extension's fold counting at i = M-1; the periodic
   reading gives every node FULL weight:
     vtil_i := sum_f W_f cos(i theta_f)
     <=>  Ktil(u) = K(u) - (T1/2) tent_{M-1}(u).
   Then the cosine weights are EXACTLY ctil~_f = W_f >= 0: the T1
   boundary term VANISHES identically (zero u-space defect, zero
   negative index).  The tested functional shifts by the exact
   boundary correction (per alias m; E0 = the PNT mass of the top
   tent, E0 = int_0^{2 alpha} 2 e^{u/2} tent_{M-1}(u) du =
   -2 c0_{M-1}):
     beta_m := Jtil_m - J1_m = -(T1_m/2) (E - E0).

 (b) EDGE TAPER t = 1 (drop the top tent node): vtil_{M-1} := 0,
   i.e. subtract (T1/2) delta_{i,M-1} from v:
     ctil_f = W_f - (mult_f/(2L)) (T0 + 2 (-1)^f T1),
     K_b(u) = K(u) + (T1/2) tent_{M-1}(u),
     beta^b_m = +(T1_m/2) (E - E0) = -beta_m.
   The T0 leakage REMAINS (frequency index does not vanish) and in
   u-space -K_b = sum_f W_f phi_f - T1 tent_{M-1}: the edge term
   doubles with flipped orientation.

 (c) WINDOW ENLARGE (+1 tent at fixed D, the frozen +1 alias
   shift): M' = M + 1, alpha' = alpha + D/2, window [0, 2 alpha +
   D]; atoms = the deployed global table up to 2 alpha' (complete:
   X' <= 4e5 on every heavy rung; own-sieve crosscheck S0.4); the
   rung degree h stays the deployed value.  Everything is rebuilt;
   the expected outcome is that the defect MOVES to the new top
   tent centred at the OLD edge 2 alpha (measured against the new
   margins).

THE IMPLICATION CHAIN (exact finite calculus, both directions):
with margin_m = (lambda_1 - nu_1)_m and the round-50 identity
Delta_m = J1_m + R_m (R = the response remainder),
    margin_m = Jtil_m + R_m - deficit_m - beta_m .
So "Jtil + R >= deficit + max(beta, 0)" ==> T_h <= 1 at (h, m); if
beta_m <= 0 the modified positivity ALONE suffices (one-sided,
nothing lost); if beta_m > 0 it must be carried as an explicit
positive remainder of measured size (beta is comb-computable: T1
from the t = 0 construction, E a finite von Mangoldt sum, E0 closed
form).  The finite shadow of the modified hypothesis is
    margin~_m := margin_m + beta_m
(recomputed for all 79 (rung, zone-alias) pairs).

FROZEN PROTOCOL (2026-08-09; constants frozen before the first
measurement run; heavy rungs kz {9, 12, 13, 26, 40} = the round-50
contract rungs incl. the failing kz 9; budget < 15 min):

 S0 SELF-TESTS (kill PIPELINE): (i) AST firewall; (ii) endpoint
   reconstruction (kz 9) vs the verbatim folded route, rel <= 1e-8;
   (iii) quadratic-form self-test per rung, both endpoints, rel <=
   1e-8; (iv) own von Mangoldt sieve == deployed global table on
   the slice (X e^{-1}, X'] of every heavy rung (count + values,
   rel <= 1e-12; the slice starts one log-unit below X so the ward
   is never vacuous even if (X, X'] holds no prime power).

 E1 THE DEFECT ANATOMY (every rung, zone aliases): rebuild W / ctil
   / K verbatim with the round-50/55 wards W1 (prime == grid, 1e-10),
   W2 (K0 routes, 1e-12), W4 (DCT routes, 1e-10), W5 (u-space
   boundary identity, 1e-10), W6 (J1 repartition, 1e-10), W3
   (min W >= 0 exact).  Print WHERE the top tent sits (centre
   (M-1)D = 2 alpha - D, support [2 alpha - 2D, 2 alpha], in n:
   [X e^{-2D}, X]), the von Mangoldt mass it samples (E, atoms in
   support, share of total comb mass), E0 and E - E0, the T1 range
   over aliases, and the defect functional (T1/2) E at m* vs the
   margin.  ANCHOR: reproduce the round-55 failure |N|/margin at
   kz 9 alias 9 (expect ~= 1.381; context print, never a kill).

 E2 THE KILL CANDIDATES (all frozen, no fitting):
   (a1) DIRICHLET: s_g by DST-I; ward W7 exact reconstruction of
     v_i (rel <= 1e-10) and boundary coefficient == T1/2 (rel <=
     1e-12); negative-s census (dust floor TOL_NEG).
   (a2) PERIODIC: ward W8 DCT-I of the full-weight nodes == W (FFT
     route, rel <= 1e-10); negative index of ctil~ = W (exact +
     dust floor); beta by two routes -- E: tent binning (t_{M-1})
     vs direct tent evaluation; E0: -2 c0_{M-1} vs the closed-form
     primitive -- ward W9 rel <= 1e-10 (v2); the modified margin
     census margin + beta over all (rung, alias).
   (b) TAPER t = 1: ward W10 DCT-I of the dropped-node sequence ==
     the closed form above (rel <= 1e-10); negative index census;
     modified margin census margin - beta.
   (c) ENLARGE: rebuild every heavy rung at M' = M + 1 (wards
     W1'/W2'/W4' + QF as in E1); new zone aliases, new margins, new
     negative index, T1'/T0', new edge mass E', defect functional
     (T1'/2) E' at m*', worst |N'|/margin' per rung -- does the
     defect move (expected) or shrink relative to the margins?

 E3 THE VERDICT OBJECT: best candidate by the frozen precedence
   PERIODIC > TAPER > ENLARGE, first that achieves (negative index
   0 at every (rung, zone alias)) AND (all modified margins > 0).
   For it print: the negative index (target 0), the modified margin
   census (target: all 79 positive), the implication status
   (CHAIN=ONESIDED if beta_m <= 0 everywhere, else
   CHAIN=CARRIED(max beta/margin~) -- intact either way by the
   exact identity above, wards W9), and the kz-9-alias-9 absorption
   ratio |N~|/margin~ under the modification (round-55 failure;
   target < 1).  TYPED (frozen): NORMSQUARE-ACHIEVED iff best
   candidate exists AND its kz-9-alias-9 ratio < 1; DEFECT-
   STRUCTURAL iff ALL THREE candidates retain a nonzero u-space
   edge term (|coef| >= (1 - 1e-9) |T1|/2) AND a positive negative
   index (then print the exact obstruction); else DEFECT-MOVED.

 C  CONTROLS (kz 9, scramble seed 1, verbatim round-50 mirror):
   the scramble must still flip the finite margins UNDER THE
   MODIFIED functional of the best candidate -- min_m (margin_scr
   + beta_scr)_m <= 0 on the scramble zone aliases (fallback,
   disclosed if the zone set is empty: the 8 a-closest scramble neg
   nodes).  Silent -> CONTROL-DEAD (the modification destroyed the
   arithmetic content).

KILLS: chain short anywhere needed / self-test failure / zone alias
set empty on a rung (deployed or enlarged) -> PIPELINE-BROKEN; any
ward W1..W10 failure -> WARD-BROKEN; value control silent ->
CONTROL-DEAD.  E1/E2/E3 outcomes are MEASUREMENTS, never kills.

VERDICT (frozen enum): EDGEDEFECT-MEASURED (+ TYPE=<NORMSQUARE-
ACHIEVED | DEFECT-MOVED | DEFECT-STRUCTURAL> + KILL=<PERIODIC |
TAPER1 | ENLARGE | NONE> + CHAIN=<ONESIDED | CARRIED(x) | N/A> +
LEDGER=<CONSISTENT | INCONSISTENT k/N>) / PIPELINE-BROKEN /
WARD-BROKEN / CONTROL-DEAD.

SPEC AMENDMENTS (fail-first preserved):
  v1 (2026-08-09): initial freeze.  All kernel/endpoint machinery
  and tolerances are the round-50/55 frozen values, reused
  verbatim; the three candidate constructions, their closed forms,
  beta, the margin-shift rule margin~ = margin + beta, the
  precedence PERIODIC > TAPER > ENLARGE, RATIO_BAR = 1, and the
  typing rules are frozen a priori, before any modified coefficient
  was computed.
  v2 (2026-08-09): TOL_WARD_BETA relaxed 1e-12 -> 1e-10 after the
  first frozen run printed W9 FAIL at 7.4e-12: the E0 primitive
  route evaluates _prim differences of size ~e^{alpha} with ~1e-12
  relative cancellation dust -- a float-rounding artifact of two
  EXACT closed-form routes, matched to the other functional-level
  ward bars (W1/W5/W6 at 1e-10).  Fail-first preserved: the FAIL
  was printed and no measured quantity (beta, margins, indices,
  ratios -- all identical) moved.  The W9 check now prints the E
  route and the E0 route deviations separately.

NO RH claim: everything here is exact finite linear algebra on the
deployed v563 window family plus measured finite shadows; the
modified contract remains CONDITIONAL (a positive-weight finite-
band Weil-positivity hypothesis); no bound, no rate, no uniformity
in h.  No marker moves.

FIREWALL: no zeros, no prime oracles beyond the deployed table (own
sieve allowed for the S0.4 crosscheck; AST scan: zetazero/nzeros/
primerange/isprime/primepi/nextprime/prevprime banned); v563
READ-ONLY; RNG only in the scramble control; stdout only.

Sources (read-only): kernel_sos_probe (round 55: closed-form ctil,
wards W1..W6, negative index, absorption ledger -- verbatim);
paircorr_contract_probe (round 50: contract functional, margin
ledger, control -- verbatim); christoffel_pnt_gamma_probe (folded
measures, Lanczos chain, closed-form PNT lags -- verbatim);
christoffel_zone_envelope_probe (theta* = 0.700), declared inputs.
