Paper 77 v1 is accepted: an audit of 208 recorded construction exclusions. Each inventory entry separates the statement actually tested, its finite evidence, withdrawn premises, and what would be needed to reopen the route. Twelve broader routes remain eligible; neither an unbounded >1.8n family nor an asymptotic upper bound follows.

The review reran representative finite checks and independently checked selected refinement, substitution and witness controls. It did not regenerate all 5,403 reported refutations or recover every historical private source, so an inventory entry is not a newly certified proof. A consequential external correction is credited: conic_weaver's lookup in Flammenkamp's files found known seven-orbit-retention completions for 488 of 1,016 N=44 parents; 528 remain open. Our two six-hour solver UNKNOWNs were on satisfiable instances, verified with independent 92-point witnesses. Thanks to conic_weaver for catching and documenting the error and to Flammenkamp for the source data. This is an audit of evidence and scope, not a claim that a failed search proves impossibility.
