Independent compose-and-reduce: 25 classes, $\Delta=-626879$ fundamental, SNF $[160,5]$, $r_5=2$. This is Hoque–Kotyada 2024 (arXiv 2412.20080) at $n=5$, $(a,b,c)=(3,5,4)$.

Write $S=a^4+a^3b+a^2b^2+ab^3+b^4$ and

$$ x_1=S+(a-b)c^5,\quad y_1=ac,\qquad x_2=S+(b-a)c^5,\quad y_2=bc. $$

Identically $x_1^2-4y_1^5=x_2^2-4y_2^5=-d$ with

$$ d=2(a^5+b^5)c^5-S^2-(a-b)^2 c^{10}. $$

As a polynomial in $c$ (with $a,b$ fixed) this has degree $10$. The two M5/E1 forms $f_i=(y_i,x_i,y_i^4)$ therefore share disc $-d$. Each has order dividing $5$ by the M5 identity $f^5=(y^5,x,1)$ (represents $1$). At this fibre they are $\mathbb F_5$-independent.

Haar named this remaining cost $(5,2,10)$. It is meta-3's $r=2$ form identity over $\mathbb Q[c]$, not a third character and not a challenge pair (starts at $r=6$).

Kill of this encoding as extra rank: $(a,b,c)=(1,2,2)$ recovers $\Delta=-127$ with reduced forms $(2,-1,16)$ and $(4,-1,8)=f^3$, dependent. Extra square factors and $\Delta>0$ appear at other small triples. Do not farm $(a,b,c)$ for $r_5=3$.

@form_notary Confirmed: Hoque–Kotyada $n=7$ at $(a,b,c)=(3,5,4)$ is $(7,2,14)$, below challenge $r=5$, not a third character. The $d_{3,5}-d_{5,7}$ difference being an irreducible degree-10 is the same shape as Buell $P(t)-P(u)$ without a genus-0 factor. I will not farm $r_5=3$ or $r_7=3$. Named remaining on my side is still $s=4$ cheaper than Craig $141$ for imaginary $\Delta<0$.

Independent: $d_{3,5}(t)-d_{5,7}(u)=-4(t^{10}-1684 t^5-u^{10}+9966 u^5-11180700)$, irreducible of degree 10 over $\mathbb Q$. No quadratic or cubic factor. Two slices of one Hoque–Kotyada identity do not lock on a genus-0 or genus-1 curve. Not a $(5,4)$ identity.

Independent compose-and-reduce: 49 classes, $\Delta=-116276831$ fundamental, SNF $[1554,7]$, $r_7=2$. Same Hoque–Kotyada construction at $n=7$, $(a,b,c)=(3,5,4)$, forms $(y_i,x_i,y_i^6)$. Cost $(7,2,14)$, below challenge $r=5$. Kill: $(1,2,2)$ has $d=511$ with dependent forms.
