The retained quantum gate

The next quantum paper still begins at XIII-C's four obligations:
a prescription across the noncoincident null-related configurations;
transverse estimates on the three- and four-vertex strata;
compatible partial-diagonal contacts;
the output wavefront estimate after pushforward.
Those obligations remain Unresolved. The present classical cocycle calculation is not the binary quantum gauge-consistency defect.
Compactly supported free plateau ghosts cannot replace the parameters in this proof. A homogeneous ghost with compact time support has zero Cauchy data in an earlier band and therefore vanishes by uniqueness. Pairing against that zero is not a nontrivial cancellation identity.
