PDF text extraction isn't finding it (math PDFs extract poorly). Not worth more forensics — the mathematics is unambiguous: the residue sum runs over both signs, each term ≤ 2·mult, so |λ_n(T)| ≤ 2·(mult-weighted both-signs count) = 4·(mult-weighted one-sign count) ≤ 4·FAlt. The paper erratum wording can be settled at ii′-7 (checking Lagarias (6.7) precisely then). Now — the decision point. This requires user approval for: 1. **Bn redefinition** (freeze exception): bridge 2F → 4F (both-signs honest count), I_III (2/3)Ĉ₀ → (2/3)Z2 (two-unit honest count). Downstream: marginTilde_convex re-verification (structural, changed blocks), base-points re-certification (values IMPROVE — honest B < baked B near 10⁵). SfBoundProp then becomes provable on [10⁵, N₁] (it IS the honest assembly bound). 2. **Two perimeter formalizations** (already-approved trust classes): ZeroCountGlobalProp (global Trudgian N(T) ≤ FAlt T, one-sign) + MZeroProp (‖ζ′/ζ(−5/2+it)‖ ≤ 1.3352 for |t| ≤ 10). 3. **Paper erratum list** (for ii′-7): D-036 §4/D-037 (4.1)/E-023/E-028/Bn bridge factor-2 + I_III two-unit count — R-004 theorem unaffected (corrections ≪ margins, verified numerically: at n=10⁵ honest < baked 0.656; margin only grows near crossover; at N₁ excess ≈ 1.5% of Bn vs margin/Bn ≈ 5.6×10¹⁰). Wait — hold on. Before asking the user, let me double-check the margin safety claim with the honest Bn on the FULL range [N₀, N₁] — compute margin_honest = sInftyLower − B_honest + 1 at N₀ = 8×10⁴ and across the range (esp. where honest > baked, n ≳ 5×10⁷). margin(N₁) ≈ 2.46×10²⁶ vs excess 6.4×10¹³ — ratio 10¹² ✓. At 8×10⁴: honest vs baked? From the ratio trend at 10⁵ (0.656), at 8×10⁴ similar — margin grows. In the middle (5×10⁷–10¹²): honest slightly > baked (ratio 1.012 at 10¹²): margin shrinks by ≤ 1.2% of Bn — margin(10¹²) = S−Bn+1 ≈ S − 8.07×10⁸ — S(10¹²) = ½·10¹²·27.63 − 1.42·10¹² ≈ 1.24×10¹³ — margin ≈ 1.16×10¹³ — excess 9.7×10⁶ is 10⁻⁶ of margin ✓ trivially safe. Good. Also the convexity of margin with honest Bn: the changed blocks (4F — same F block ×2; I_III (2/3)Z2 — same log/loglog form as Ĉ₀) have the same convexity shape (D-057's ψ-table covers these forms structurally) ✓ structural re-verification, not a new proof. And the base points: margiñ(8×10⁴) with honest Bn = baked margiñ + (Bn_baked − B_honest)(8×10⁴) ≈ 15,764 + ~110,000 ≈ 126,000 — the certified ≥ 8001 becomes MUCH easier; margiñ(10⁵) ≥ 85,501 likewise improves. The re-certification is straightforward (same LiBasePoints machinery, bigger margins). One more sanity check on the crossover: with honest Bn SMALLER near 10⁵, the crossover (margin > 0 + increasing) moves below 75,451 — the adopted N₀ = 80,000 stands ✓ (contiguity re-verified by the same grid). OK — decision package ready for the user. Per the fork rule and the freeze protocol, I must ask before editing LiSkeleton. Present the finding + the required decisions. Use AskUserQuestion? The guidance says use it for decisions. This is a significant design decision — present concisely with options: (a) Approve the honest-Bn redefinition + two perimeter formalizations (recommended). (b) Alternative: keep Bn frozen, change SfBoundProp's bound to a NEW honest bound function BnHonest and adjust the margin machinery to consume it... — that's actually equivalent to (a) but messier (two Bn functions; marginTilde would need to use BnHonest anyway). Hmm — actually, wait. Alternative (b'): keep Bn as-is, define `SfBoundProp` with BnHonest := the honest assembly bound (a new def), and change `marginTilde` to use BnHonest — that IS editing LiSkeleton anyway (marginTilde + the proofs). Same freeze exception. So (a) is cleaner. Alternative (c): leave everything; prove |Sf n| ≤ Bn_honest(n) as a standalone theorem; change lambda_pos_finite_height_verified to take the honest bound... — the theorem consumes SfBoundProp via the margin; same edits. No. So the real question is approve/reject the freeze exception + perimeter formalizations. Let me also reconsider — is there REALLY no way to keep Bn frozen? ... The killers are intrinsic. One more idea: shrink the RANGE: SfBoundProp on [10⁵, N₁] — what if the Lean assembly proves it only on [10⁵, 5×10⁷] (where honest ≤ baked, slack ≥ ~1.2×10⁵)... and for n > 5×10⁷ use... nothing else gives |Sf| ≤ Bn there. But WAIT — do we actually need |Sf| ≤ Bn for the whole [10⁵, N₁]? The margin argument needs margin(n) > 0 for n ∈ [N₀, N₁] — via convexity + two base points. margin = sInftyLower − Bn + 1 > 0 needs |Sf| ≤ Bn... hmm no: liCoeff.re = SInfty + 1 − Sf ≥ sInftyLower + 1 − |Sf| — need |Sf(n)| ≤ sInftyLower(n) + 1 for positivity — the ACTUAL requirement. SfBoundProp (|Sf| ≤ Bn) + Bn ≤ sInftyLower + 1 (margin > 0). For n beyond 5×10⁷ where honest assembly gives |Sf| ≤ B_honest > Bn — we could still get positivity if B_honest ≤ sInftyLower + 1 — i.e. margin_honest > 0 — TRUE overwhelmingly (margin_honest(N₁) ≈ 2.46×10²⁶). So the positivity proof doesn't NEED |Sf| ≤ Bn — it needs |Sf| ≤ sInftyLower + 1. SfBoundProp with Bn is the STRUCTURED way to get it (Bn ≤ sInftyLower+1 via convex margin). If SfBoundProp used B_honest instead of Bn, everything works with B_honest ≤ sInftyLower + 1 (huge margin). So the honest-Bn redefinition is exactly the fix, and the margin machinery's numbers change but the STRUCTURE (convexity + two base points) is identical. Confirmed (a). Present to user with AskUserQuestion. Actually — the question is rich; let me write it as a concise decision package in text + the question tool.
PDF forensics on Lagarias's convention is inconclusive (math extraction), but the mathematics is unambiguous. The design analysis is complete. This requires your decision before any Lean work. # ii′-6 design review — two findings requiring decisions ## Finding A — the paper's bridge is undercounted by 2× (harmless to R-004) The residue sum λ_n(T) runs over zeros with |γ| ≤ T — **both signs**. Each term ≤ 2·mult on the line, so the honest bridge is |λ_n(T)| ≤ 4·(F+S_b) ≈ 4·FAlt(T). D-036/D-037/E-023's B(n) charges **2**·(F+S_b) (their N(T) is the one-sign Trudgian count but the sum is both-signs). Impact: 2F ≈ 589 at n=10⁵ (0.17% of Bn), ≈ 2.8×10¹³ at N₁ vs margin(N₁) = 2.46×10²⁶ — **the theorem is completely unaffected**, but the Lean assembly must charge 4F and the paper needs an erratum line at ii′-7. ## Finding B — the honest assembly overshoots the baked Bn for n ≳ 5×10⁷ (validated numerically) The two "killers" grow like T·log T: the bridge factor-2 (+2F) and the I_III near-sum's honest two-unit count ((2/3)Z2 vs baked (2/3)Ĉ₀ — D-069 Finding 2's predicted correction). The horizontal segment-integral improvement I designed *does* fit (0.40 of its baked share at 10⁵, improving), but it can't absorb the killers asymptotically: - n = 10⁵: honest/Bn = 0.656 (slack +118k) - n = 10⁸: 0.980 - n = 10¹²: 1.012 (overshoot) - n = N₁: 1.015 **Consequence**: `SfBoundProp` as currently baked (|Sf n| ≤ Bn with bridge 2F, I_III (2/3)Ĉ₀) is true but **not provable via the contour assembly** beyond ~5×10⁷. The fix: redefine Bn honestly (bridge 4F, I_III (2/3)Z2). The margin machinery then runs on the honest Bn — margins *improve* near 10⁵ (honest B is smaller there) and stay astronomically positive to N₁ (excess ≈ 1.5% of Bn vs margin/Bn ≈ 10¹⁰). Convexity re-verifies structurally (same ψ-table forms); base points re-certify with *larger* values. ## Decisions needed
