"""v138 -- The Volkov-Wipf firewall: the external full-4d graviton/ghost
log-coefficient on S^2 x S^2 is -98/45 (no atom), its EDGE part is
exactly TWO COPIES of the reduced seam budget -4/3 (v133), and the seam
clock is typed as the reduced zero-mode/RPA edge object -- not the full
4d determinant.  [I] exact arithmetic against the external values +
[P] typing decision.  (External review 2026-06-12; values verified
against arXiv:2506.02142 Table 4.1, which states agreement with
Volkov-Wipf, Nucl. Phys. B582 (2000) 313, hep-th/0003081.)

  [I] 1. THE EXTERNAL DATUM (typed external).  For d = 3 (S^2 x S^2,
         4d) the one-loop graviton path integral has log-coefficient
             alpha_bulk = 22/45,  alpha_edge = -8/3,
             alpha_PI = alpha_bulk + alpha_edge = -98/45,
         (arXiv:2506.02142, Table 4.1; "agrees with [Volkov-Wipf]").
         Note: the review cited hep-th/0204021; the correct reference
         is hep-th/0003081.
  [I] 2. THE EDGE MATCH (the structural finding).  The external edge
         factor consists of TWO IDENTICAL COPIES (one per horizon),
         and
             alpha_edge = -8/3 = 2 x (-4/3):
         the per-copy magnitude 4/3 = e_1/p_0 is EXACTLY the reduced
         seam budget of v133 (= the seed gain; -2/3 per sector).  The
         TFPT reduced route lands on the EDGE sector of the external
         bulk/edge split; the bulk (22/45) is the ideal graviton gas,
         which the seam clock does not contain.  Two copies = the
         horizon pair = the sheet doubling (v101; v133's 3+3
         zero-mode split).
  [I] 3. FIREWALL ARITHMETIC.  -98/45 + 60/45 = -38/45 with
         38 = 2 x 19: neither -98/45 nor -38/45 nor 22/45 is an
         anchor atom (census against the declared atom list) --
         consistent with v133, where the naive scalar 4d route
         (-109/45) was already non-atomic.  (Different operator
         content: -109/45 = scalar split, -98/45 = full graviton +
         ghosts + isometries -- recorded to prevent confusion.)
  [P] 4. TYPING DECISION (recorded): R1 = the reduced zero-mode/RPA
         seam clock = an edge-sector object; the full 4d
         Volkov-Wipf determinant is the GRAVITY FIREWALL (its
         -98/45 is absorbed in the mu_0 / (Lambda G)^3
         normalisation), not a TFPT atom.  The sign/orientation of
         the per-copy edge coefficient (the edge factor enters
         INVERTED) and the Lorentzian edge-mode interpretation stay
         honest [P] -- review variants 2 + 3.
