CARRIER-NATIVE PATI-SALAM/SO(10) UNIFICATION KILL-TEST + NEGATIVE CONTROLS (2026-06-17): the suite claim-check of experiments/gauge-unification. Two-step M_Z->(SM)->M_PS->(PS)->M_GUT (SO(10): a4=a2L=a2R), matching a4=a3, a2L=a2, a2R^-1=(5/3)a1^-1-(2/3)a3^-1. (1) [E] matching holds and a valid 1-loop unification solution exists (M_PS < M_GUT < M_Pl). (2) [X] NEG: pure SM running does NOT unify (residual spread ~8.8 at 2e16 GeV, the universal non-SUSY gap). (3) [C] SCALE COINCIDENCE: the unifying M_PS lands on the scalaron scale M_s=c3^(7/2)Mbar -- M_PS/M_s = 1.0-1.7 at 1-loop (experiment 2-loop shrinks to ~1.0-1.2); two independent TFPT scales (gauge unification + gravitational scalaron) coincide. (4) [X] NEG: 126-type (10,1,3) content (large SU(2)_R, b2R>0) yields NO scalaron-matched solution (1-loop unphysical / 2-loop ~33x) -- match lost; 126 also E8-forbidden (v247). (5) [X] NEG: proton decay selects content -- minimal 16-Higgs M_GUT~2e15 -> tau_p < Super-K (2.4e34 yr) EXCLUDED; +(15,1,1) [E8-allowed 45] raises M_GUT proton-safer. (6) [O] residuals: the gauging fork, the exact kappa in M_PS=kappa M_s (now ~1.0-1.2), the one-45 E8 marginality (v247).
