Modular Spectral Closure (v258–v261). The finite Dirac is a covariance induction of the seam KMS state, the spectral-action cutoff is that KMS weight (f₂/f₀ = 1), and seam, carrier-16 and E₈ live on one Kummer/K3 surface — so Dirac, cutoff, gauging, glue and orientability are readouts of one seam state. QGEO.SYM.01 is then a corollary (a conformal net's vacuum is rotation-invariant by axiom, v335).
Seam keystone.The keystone's residual is a composition of standard cited theorems (OS/clustering, the Kitaev free-fermion classification, the AQFT stack) over established TFPT facts — Lean-pinned to those named steps plus the derived gap Δ = 6·ln(3/2) ≈ 2.43 > 0, with no further finite MMST/compiler assumption in that lane. The strict physical TOE obligations remain separate. Its two heavy legs are literature-anchored (v336): the MMST continuum scaling limit and the Adamo–Moriwaki–Tanimoto OS reconstruction, with (E₈)₁ inside their range (c=8, rank 8, 16 Majoranas) — and the 128-spinor extension leg is now certified at net level by the peer-reviewed crossed-product package (v469, LR/Böckenhauer/KLM), with the AGT/AMT route demoted to an independent second witness; stays [O].
QG decoupling is a theorem (v337).Every readout factors through the gapped admissible spectrum (χ = 729/665, margin 1.648 > 0), so TFPT provably does not need the ambient measure.
4D-QFT fork (v265). Finite boundary-net/MMST lane — closed modulo cited theorems; ambient QG — discharged as redundancy [C]; 4D GUT — not claimed (E₈ is the audit hull, not a 4D gauge group); optional UV branch — carrier-native Pati–Salam, falsifiable by thresholds and proton decay. The sprint-by-sprint reduction (v234 → v302) is on the changelog.
Strict TOE scope.Round 4 (v1026–v1030) closes the relaxed TEL-B norm at fixed M=1, Ny=8: ||R_N||HS < 2.995906 < 3 for every even N≥16. Native v1026 uses v1022/v1025 to discharge the former CF/DG estimates for this bound; the other modules add only narrow T3/T4/T6–T8 identities and counterbounds. FE-GEN/ALG-EXH, every T1–T8 gate and TFPT.TOE.COMPLETE.01 remain [O], and a shared 3+1D parent is still absent. The v1029 tensor target requires global zero-mode removal and is not a TFPT embedding. Round 7 (v1031–v1035) quantizes this free target and constructs a positive local covariant curvature field with helicities ±2. It also gives auxiliary flux-register charged corners, the factorized onsite mirror bound 1+√3/2, and linear Ward propagation for prescribed sources. The quarter twist has h=1/4, not hλ=1; the mirror bound is not an interacting hopping theorem; universal quantum coupling remains open.
