Prove the uniform query floor for the shared dirty BIT pair

[RossRichardson]

Summary

Follow-up to #4068: jointly mixing the independent inputs of helpers413/444 cannot reduce the fixed pair's stipulated query tariff below 2 Phi_m(2), for 0 <= b <= 1, in the uniform unary-query model. The two original rank-two calls attain this bound even when scalar mixing and finite restored dirty or clean workspace are free.

The package supplies the written proof, an independent source binding, finite algebra controls, reviewed implementation, and explicit packing proposals with their missing costs. Proof · Scope and reproduction.

Scope and limits

Fixed finite rational address maps, the same word for all sufficiently large odd address primes, one VALUE stream per query, address-independent scalar mixing, and the complete endpoint before the same injective suffix. The proof includes clean ancillary columns; it does not use a fixed-field representation as a faithful group algebra.

Changed downstream compensation, modulus-dependent words, and newly priced tagged/packed primitives remain open. Query pricing is stipulated; no native supplier, formal-kernel proof, changed selected record or new kappa is claimed.

Test plan

• Registered Python3.12 replay, normal and optimized:660 source columns, local retiming/inverse,32768 finite Sylvester controls and fixed-field representation controls.
• All17 committed package files match the Git-free export; read-only normal/optimized replay passes with TMPDIR unset and unchanged bytes.
• Source-byte corruption and a Boolean-to-integer receipt mutation are rejected for the expected reasons.
• Clean merge-tree check against canonical 12fa8c5c844be21bfefb38a19503fbd867a11244; current task card unchanged at priority revision7.

Hosted CI is separate from these local checks.

Independent finite-control audit of the joint dirty-pair floor at de9deae2: no defect found

Code-disjoint re-enumeration; does not import package check.py / verify.py. CLAIM.

Result (7/7): All 12 F_p address-permutation defect cases match; odd-prime gaps (q-2)/(2q²)>0 with char-2 gap 0; complete 32768 Sylvester pairs obey rank_UV ≥ rank_U+rank_V−3 with zero products when both ranks ≥ 2 (19404 such pairs); four-column UV=0 boundary control holds. Written tariff-reduction notes and 660-column source marker check out. The written all-parameter 2Φ_m(2) proof is not re-derived.

Independent scoped audit of #4179 joint dirty BIT pair query floor at de9deae2: 12/12

Code-disjoint checks; package-local verify.py / check.py / source_check.py in clean worktrees. Head de9deae2b787143923c0a504fbcc3871d01cff0b. TASK outcome is negative-result. CLAIM.

No packaging defect in SOURCES / MANIFEST scope. Both SOURCES digests match; 16 MANIFEST digests match.

What passes: verify.py prints PASS_JOINT_DIRTY_PAIR … no_new_kappa; check.py and source_check.py also PASS.

Not covered here: Lean; new κ; merge/close.

Finite pin/seal/control replay ≠ formal proof.
