ALPHA.QUILLEN.PROGRESS.04: a FOURTH honest step on ALPHA.QUILLEN.EXACT.01 (v382) -- it attacks the SINGLE remaining [O] after v434 (residual (2), the cubic alpha^3 Chern level) and SHARPENS it, it does NOT close it; the target stays [O], alpha^-1 stays [E]. [E] pi-POWER / METRIC-INDEPENDENCE TEST: the three closure coefficients carry pi-powers exactly {0,3,6}=c3-orders (k0=1 -> pi^0; -2c3^3=-1/(256 pi^3) -> pi^3; -8 b1 c3^6=-41/(327680 pi^6) -> pi^6), so the Maxwell a^3 is the UNIQUE pi^0/c3^0 (metric-INDEPENDENT) term -- the signature of a topological level (a heat-kernel boundary coeff always carries the (4pi)^{-d/2} measure; a level carries none). The test partitions the closure into ONE topological level (a^3) + TWO heat-kernel boundary terms, confirming v342/v434's 'a^3 is a level, not a curvature integral' from a test. [C] conditional on the CS/eta reading (EM1, v48), large-gauge invariance forces the level in Z and k0=1 is the unit (minimal) level -- an integer, not a free real. [O] NOT CLOSED: the EM1 CS-boundary derivation stays external (type A, v384); seam F-norm stays the one [C] (v434); alpha^-1 stays [E].
