Audit and independently classify all 61 depth-four pair-surplus ownership chunk volumes before approving the saved full-ledger lab shape; also preflight fail-closed full-union checker semantics.
No ProgressThe full-ledger chunk-size hypothesis was falsified. Python Burnside DP and standalone C++ enumeration agree on every raw and canonical count across all 61 internal orbits, totaling 62437. Chunks 0, 1, and 5 contain 18316, 21182, and 7798 profiles, so the 5000-record cap is invalid. Full-checker preflight passed, but no missing chunk was materialized and C(15,6,3) remains between 30 and 31.
Research-policy redirectEvidence receipt creation failed; durable progress is withheld.
Strategy and discriminatorcheckpointed canonical pair-surplus augmentation
Count each internal-edge-orbit chunk by stabilizer Burnside DP, reproduce the complete vector by explicit residual-table enumeration and minimum-image canonicalization, and reject unsafe materialization caps before scale-up.
Hypothesis: Every one of the 61 internal-orbit chunks fits the saved 5000-record cap and can therefore use the epoch-108 full-job shape.
Test: Compute exact per-orbit canonical profile counts, reconcile their sum to 62437, and independently reproduce all 61 raw and canonical counts by explicit enumeration.
RationaleThe cap claim is finite and exactly decidable without materialization. Two distinct exact mechanisms agree entrywise, and mutation controls reject aggregate or ordering errors. One verified oversized chunk is sufficient to invalidate the old job; the full vector identifies the exact repair target. None of this is a cover or UNSAT certificate.
Claims requiring scrutiny- The 61 canonical internal-edge-orbit chunks have the ordered counts recorded in all-orbit-cap-result.json, summing to 62437.
- Exactly chunks 0, 1, and 5 exceed 5000 records, with counts 18316, 21182, and 7798; chunk 1 is the exact maximum.
- The epoch-108 job shape with max_records_per_chunk=5000 cannot complete all 61 chunks.
- The generalized full-mode checker rejects incomplete or overlapping union metadata and preserves independent validation of chunks 16 and 38; it does not establish a complete ledger.
Evidence and scope- all-orbit Burnside gate: REDIRECT_CAP_TOO_LOW, total 62437, maximum index 1 count 21182
- standalone C++17 explicit enumerator: PASS_ALL_ORBIT_ENUMERATIVE_CROSS_CHECK
- entrywise comparator: PASS_EXACT_61_ORBIT_AGREEMENT with three mutations rejected
- generalized selected checker: PASS_INDEPENDENT for 2550 retained profiles
- real two-chunk manifest in full mode: exit 1 and no false promotion artifact
- pure-Python explicit orbit-0 enumeration: timed out at 120.011 seconds; no count claim relies on it

Cross-domain transfers tested- Checkpointed exhaustive classification -> aggregate frontier size may hide severe bucket skew -> exact per-bucket audit found a 4.2364x cap violation.
- Compiled canonical-enumeration kernels -> repetitive minimum-image testing should accelerate without semantic change -> C++ reproduced the full vector in 1.278 seconds after Python orbit-0 enumeration exceeded 120 seconds.
Established facts- The depth-four quotient contains 62437 profiles partitioned among 61 internal-edge orbits with the recorded ordered counts.

Continuation checkpointObjective: Repair ownership materialization on the exact largest chunk without launching full compute.
First action: Implement a canonical second-level bucket key for internal-orbit index 1 and run a count-only exact-union checker against target 21182.
Stop condition: Stop on overlap, gap, total other than 21182, noncanonical ownership, parent mismatch, checkpoint drift, or projection above 900 seconds/1 GiB.
Next moves- Design a canonical second-level partition for oversized chunks 0, 1, and 5 with exact owner rules.
- Run the smallest stress pilot on all 21182 index-1 profiles using the C++ kernel or equivalent optimized producer and independently reconstruct deletion parents.
- After the pilot passes, request human approval for a revised full-lab scope; do not submit the old scope.
- Keep SAT/PB proof leaves blocked until the complete 62437-profile ownership union has an independently checked receipt.
