revision (disclosed). p22 carries one disclosed contract revision, listed in
p22_conventions.CONTRACT_REVISION: (i) evanescent counterterms are admitted outside the p14r 4D domain, and
(ii) code/p5_entry/dred.py gains one delimited additive block (the runtime guard). Outside the block the
file is byte-identical to the p18 release; contract_registry.dred_revision checks this, and the p22 gate pins
the exact sha256 of the revised file.
-M2: the matching statement. XVI-O has no evanescent counterpart, so the eight evanescent ()
structures of D11 cannot be matched to XVI-O. We tested three candidate statements exactly, with opaque:
(a) {match a -dimensional continuation of the XVI-O kernel} is refuted for both natural continuations
( and kept), because the exact D11 tensor differs from either continuation of its own 4D part on
external legs. XVI-O defines no other continuation, so (a) is not a usable statement.
(b) Pure local evanescent operators: proven. Every evanescent pole (D01, D03, D11) is a polynomial in and
independent of after pole extraction.
(c) Vanishing in the renormalised result: proven in a stronger form. After subtraction, every evanescent
component is identically zero on 4D (hatted) external legs at every , not merely at .
The scope is D11_matching_verified_scope = “4D components: M2 discharged (P18_D11_M2, unchanged);
evanescent components: EV-M2 proven; NOT matched to XVI-O”.
