# 490d Mirror checkpoint after C344 24 September 2026. **C344 complete; C345 unexecuted.** 9 steps remain in the current authorization. Read this checkpoint and report first; frozen predecessor records retain earlier findings. Current decisions override stale archive instructions. Do not repeat completed research. ## Current result Primary598 gaps admit both held-Flood Noah+2 and held-Noah Flood−2 repairs to actual same-Gear600 pairs. File02’s local example holds Flood. Companion599 converts to601+1/299 and has no admitted endpoint repair. ## Retained context C343 is the preceding synthesis. The primary Noah-held source ladder1058→1150→1250 under E=25/23 has refinement460+490+108+92+100. Companion actual MT Shem gives1149 and the valid502/98 mode gives1152; both retain double-E outer endpoints. C341 distinguishes component-preserving comparisons from one physical-time affine dilation or a biography-preserving map. C334 shared Shem±2 origin is explicit, but exact cumulative/regular endpoint coupling is unestablished in reviewed passages. C342 full regular ladder leaves C319 controls02 and22 at i3/i5; separate17K selects22. C287 full SP domaini2…5 remains; C319 is onlyi3…7. C314 reversal requiresi+j=10 with opposite cumulative ancestry phase; C323 conditionali=j5 uses its extra support requirements. SP primary death retains inclusive/harmonic qualification; matched lifespan950 remains. Source500/100 and502/98 bindings are valid alternatives. Scalar/C89 prior art remains distinct from the Noah-held endpoint realization. Corrected LXX8464 supplement is awareness only:1564→1700,2484→2700,920→1000; AD3746/2300 superseded. Earlier incompleteSeptember17 ZIP differs from the later verified intact original. Original unprefixed reports, Engine reports and C-series remain distinct. No independent witness or source-prescribed selector is inferred from repeated coordinates. Mirror/529 focus: K=529, E=25/23, P=70/69. Global paired Mirror January AD1; local junction January AD2; no civil year zero. Regular Gears are Noah/Shem/Flood only. SP minus-one person companions remain local to SP Noah/Shem; Flood close is a separate boundary. No upstream/cumulative Gear, new endpoint or phase, fitted anchor, global axis, primer reopening, canonical or graph edit. Capture now; canonize later. Source identity, context, modal binding, generated coordinates and phase ancestry stay distinct. ## Verification 18 main checks and 17 frozen-input/predecessor authentication checks passed. A second main replay produced byte-identical DATA/RESULTS. These checks and the source interpretation were performed by the root agent; no new independent-agent review is claimed. All frozen originals and standing controls remain unchanged. Verification counts are not independent-witness counts. ## Best next bounded step C345: Enumerate all same-context MT600 Noah/Flood pairs across the three admitted Gears for the two primary SP comparison paths. Determine exactly which preserve2K and which preserve the460/490 Noah-death partition. Two held-endpoint repairs are established. Completing the tiny three-Gear domain will show whether another admitted repair can preserve both structures at once. Continue within the authorized batch, reassessing after the next completed result.
