Cold-review the 49-host supplied-class embedding prefix, audit recorded producer revisions and operational thresholds, and decide whether the checkpointed job is safe to continue.

Progress

Canonical hosts 0..48 passed a strengthened cold audit: six positive hosts contain twelve exact embeddings and eight distinct vectors; fresh VF2 reproduced every positive mapping stream; two exact graph checkers accepted all eight pullbacks; and four mutations failed. All recorded Git revisions contain identical producer bytes and exact observed resource gates pass. The active job is nevertheless redirected because runtime imported-module provenance and aggregate gate enforcement are incomplete. No Ramsey bound or supplied-class exclusion changed.

Strategy and discriminator

complete known-class boundary blocking

Enumerate induced embeddings of a frozen order-30 core into supplied order-42 controls using custom bitset DFS and NetworkX VF2, expand tied residual orders, and retain exact 426-bit pullbacks.

Hypothesis: Canonical supplied hosts 0 through 48 reconcile exactly and their recorded lab provenance is sufficient to authorize continuation under the declared resource gates.

Test: Cold-replay the complete prefix, regenerate every positive VF2 stream, dual-check every retained graph, inject four mutations, inspect every recorded producer revision, and compare exact host timings with the predeclared gates.

Rationale

The positive mathematical evidence is independently reproducible on its exact prefix, but continuing an indefinitely growing certificate ledger with under-recorded executable inputs would violate the verification contract. Restarting the same mechanism with explicit hashes is cheaper and safer than attempting to repair provenance retrospectively after all 656 hosts.

Claims requiring scrutiny
  • Exactly canonical supplied hosts 0 through 48 reconcile with the saved manifest, artifacts, checkpoint, and progress hashes at the segment-49 boundary.
  • Hosts 11, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 24 contain twelve saved fixed-core embeddings producing eight distinct 426-bit pullback vectors.
  • All eight reconstructed labelled graphs contain neither a 5-clique nor an independent 5-set under two exact checkers.
  • Every one of the 49 recorded Git revisions contains identical driver, bitset-enumerator, and VF2-enumerator bytes.
  • The recorded revisions do not establish the actual historical imported-module bytes because dirty worktree state was not recorded.
  • The range remains 43 <= R(5,5) <= 46.

Independent checker

known_class_embedding_tranche_audit.py imports neither production enumerator, independently parses graph6 and reconstructs every saved positive pullback. checker_a.py and checker_b.c use materially different exhaustive five-set algorithms. The recorded-revision gate independently resolves producer bytes from every recorded Git commit.

Continuation checkpoint

Objective: Create and canary a hash-locked replacement for the 656-host supplied-class embedding census.

First action: Implement scripts/run_known_class_embedding_census_locked.py so the lab command explicitly names the base driver, bitset module, and NetworkX module as hashed inputs; use a fresh checkpoint/output directory and run exactly host 0.

Stop condition: Stop on any input-hash, dirty-worktree, stream, pullback, aggregate-time, memory, tied-vector, throughput, growth, or cold-replay failure; otherwise submit the locked continuation.

Next moves
  • Confirm the redirect review changes the old job to stopped_with_reason at segment 49 without modifying its checkpoint.
  • Implement a replacement wrapper that names the driver and both enumerator modules as explicit hashed inputs and refuses dirty producer files.
  • Enforce aggregate host time, memory, tied-vector, throughput, and artifact-growth gates inside the replacement workflow.
  • Start the replacement census from host 0 in a fresh artifact directory and review a one-host lifecycle canary before scaling.
  • Queue all future full cold-prefix audits through the checkpointed lab.
Tool disclosure

GPT-5.6 Sol was principal investigator. Supplied GPT-5.6 Terra experiment-verification and challenger-prior-art delegates provided advisory leads; Sol independently reran relied-on checks and corrected an overstrong provenance interpretation. No subagent was spawned. Deterministic tools were Python 3.12.3, NetworkX 3.3, GCC 13.3.0, Git object inspection, SHA-256, the existing Python and C exact graph checkers, and the computational-researcher experiment harness. The successful 131.465-second cold audit should have been queued under the stated long-job policy; future cold audits are explicitly assigned to the checkpointed lab. No SAT solver, CAS, proof assistant, package installation, system change, network retrieval, external publication, or remote account was used.; orchestration: gpt-5.6-sol principal with gpt-5.6-terra delegates.
