"""E-031 — Finding F-D: the right-tail of the horizontals in Lagarias's
Thm 6.1 contour (the (6.12) stepping). Session 038.
CLAIM CHECKED: Lagarias (6.12) asserts that |k_n(s)·L′/L(s)| decreases
geometrically per unit step right from σ = 3 (zeta halves via (6.10),
kernel ratio ≤ e via (6.12)) ⟹ right part of the horizontals is O(√n).
FINDING: the per-step product ratio is e/2 > 1 — the product GROWS
from σ = 3 to σ ≈ 0.36√n, peaking at ~e^{0.066√n}. The stepping is
broken as written at T = √n; the right-tail envelope integral is
~5.9×10¹⁰ at n = 10⁵ (vs the ~3.3 charged in D-036/D-037).
REPAIR CHECK: at T = c√n with c = 1.5, 2 the product DECREASES from
σ = 3 (kernel ratio ≤ e^{1/c²} < 2) — the stepping then works.
Computations (direct, no contour-modeling):
V1: product profile |k_n(w−1)|·|Σ_{k<300} Λ(k)/k^w| at w = σ+i√n
for σ ∈ grid, n ∈ {10³, 10⁴, 10⁵} — peak position ~0.36√n,
peak height ~e^{0.066√n}.
V2: the right-tail envelope integral ∫_{3}^{2√n} (step 2) at
n = 10⁴, 10⁵.
V3: the same profile at T = c√n, c ∈ {1, 1.5, 2}, n = 10⁵ — the
product decreases from σ = 3 for c ≥ 1.5.
