"""v249 -- PS.RGTEST.01: carrier-native Pati-Salam / SO(10) two-step unification as a machine-checked kill-test, with the mandated NEGATIVE CONTROLS. This is the suite-level claim check of experiments/gauge-unification (which carries the full 1+2-loop reproducer and results/pati_salam.json). Question: if the carrier SO(10)/PS is gauged, does the two-step chain M_Z ->(SM)-> M_PS ->(PS)-> M_GUT (SO(10): a4=a2L=a2R) unify, at what M_PS relative to the scalaron scale M_s = c3^{7/2} Mbar, and does it survive proton decay? Matching: a4=a3, a2L=a2, a2R^-1=(5/3)a1^-1-(2/3)a3^-1 (= v248). [E] 1. MATCHING + UNIFICATION EXISTS. The hypercharge matching a1^-1=(3/5)a2R^-1 +(2/5)a4^-1 holds, and the carrier-native PS two-step has a valid 1-loop unification solution (M_PS, M_GUT) with M_PS < M_GUT < M_Pl. [X] 2. NEG CONTROL -- SM-ONLY FAILS. Pure SM running does NOT unify: at 2e16 GeV the residual spread Delta(alpha^-1) > 3 (the universal non-SUSY gap). [C] 3. SCALE COINCIDENCE. For carrier-native 16-Higgs content the unifying M_PS lands on the scalaron scale: M_PS/M_s in [1.0, 1.7] at 1-loop (the experiment's 2-loop shrinks it to ~1.0-1.2). [X] 4. NEG CONTROL -- 126 BREAKS THE MATCH. Adding the renormalisable 126-Higgs content ((10,1,3), large SU(2)_R weight) pushes M_PS/M_s > 10 -- the scalaron coincidence is lost. (And the 126 is E8-forbidden anyway, v247.) [X] 5. NEG CONTROL -- PROTON DECAY SELECTS CONTENT. Minimal 16-Higgs gives M_GUT ~ 2e15 -> tau_p < Super-K (2.4e34 yr) -> EXCLUDED; adding the SU(4)-adjoint (15,1,1) [the E8-allowed 45] raises M_GUT toward the proton-safe corridor. [O] 6. RESIDUALS. (a) the gauging fork (is SO(10) gauged? -> v248/v250); (b) the EXACT kappa in M_PS = kappa M_s (currently ~1.0-1.2, not pinned); (c) the E8 hull supplies only ONE 45 (v247), so proton-safety is marginal at the minimal E8-allowed content. Status: [E] matching + unification-exists; [X] the three negative controls; [C] scale coincidence; [O] the residuals. Python-only (1-loop analytic two-step solve; numpy).
