The entry point runs seven parts in exact rational arithmetic, with the Python standard library and the repository checker, in a few seconds. Part 1 rebuilds the 149149 moduli p−1p-1 with 5≤p≤8775\le p\le877, reads the digit order and thresholds from the schedule asset, and recomputes the certified block losses 115/126115/126 (Lemma 3.3 class masses) and 538793/604800538793/604800 (weighted class masses). It also checks that every later digit completes fewer moduli than its size, and that a control without distortion returns the union bound, which exceeds one. Part 2 compares the implemented loss and class-mass bounds with actual distorted measures on two small domains for four residue choices each. Part 3 recomputes the inflation-free floor κ0/μ0\kappa_0/\mu_0 of the cube-free test, including rational enclosures for the four excluded initial blocks and the unexcluded four-prime floor. Part 4 checks the six rational weak-duality margins and integer lower bounds in the obstruction page's table, with the capped source recursion and with the weighted recursion also allowed. Part 5 recomputes the same floor at uniform depth four in three digit orders for the seven initial blocks through 1717. It also checks the exclusions of the smaller blocks at depths two and three, the depth-three case of the block through 1717, which is not excluded, a bound valid at every depth showing that the block through 1919 is never excluded in the consecutive order, and the infinite-depth value of κ0\kappa_0 with its ratio to the threshold. Part 6 reconstructs a repeated-3 covering by a finite valuation partition, checks its distinct-modulus partial family and explicit surviving point, and verifies the rational kernel lower bound above 152.14152.14 for all supported measures. A deleted-class negative control rejects a broken partition certificate. An explicit 16-class extension retains a surviving point while reducing its uniform surviving density below 1/41/4. Part 7 uses lower atom probabilities and outward-rounded full moments to certify the exact-loss tail through p2262=19997p_{2262}=19997 from any uniform density at least 1/41/4. Every omitted atom is charged through its first moment. The resulting f2262<94000f_{2262}<94000 is below a rationally certified lower bound 101000101000 for the source's termination criterion. The same check with an adapted product measure handles the 16-class extension, giving f2262<21000f_{2262}<21000 after conditioning.

The schedule asset records the digit order of the seven-smooth block and the thresholds tt for both recursions; it was found by a local search over orders and thresholds that is not part of the evidence. The cube-free checks bound entire families of fixed-schedule LPs through their proved relaxations; they do not solve a configuration LP or certify a numerical optimum. The 400400 cells per prime cover every real distortion in [0,1)[0,1), using monotone lower bounds on each cell, and logarithms have rational remainder bounds. The program checks finite computations only. The reductions that make them proofs are on the digit page, the calibration page, the [[research/leads/odd_covering_distortion/cube_free_obstruction|obstruction page]] and the [[research/leads/odd_covering_distortion/deep_digit_obstruction|depth-four page]] and the [[research/leads/odd_covering_distortion/support_concentration|support concentration page]], and on the exact-loss page.

All work is author-recorded. The small-domain runs check the implementation, not the universal digit-sieve lemmas. The cube-free results concern the full prefix inventory and full first/second-moment sums, in the stated digit order; the depth-four checks concern the same model at uniform depth four in three orders. Part 6 supplies a realizable configuration for which no measure on the uncovered set meets the universal 138.877138.877 system bound, including measures obtained by conditioning a sieve certificate. It does not refute the exact-loss tail condition, prove an odd cover, or exclude all odd covers. The huge period is covered by the proved recursive partition, not pointwise enumeration. Part 7 is a sufficient condition with an explicit density hypothesis, not a construction of a measure for every small-prime configuration. Its geometric-depth domination covers arbitrary finite exponents; the source's termination theorem covers the remaining primes.
