The recorded factorization-versus-position correlation is withdrawn: the completeness gate was never called, a lesion produces an O(1) residue from an incomplete on-line list at zero factorization defect, and the test set restates the battery's rival admission criterion.
hunts/factorization_vs_position (Record 1 of 98 in chronological sequence)
Guiding Question
Does the factorization defect D(F) quantitatively control the Weil position residue, that is, does the amount by which arithmetic fails to factor control the amount by which zeros fail to sit on the symmetry line?
Method & Verification
A lesion that removes one on-line zeta zero at factorization defect 2.65e-32 jumps the residue from 0.0038 to 1.99, matching the hunt's recorded residues at about twice that lesion, while online_list_is_complete was never called.
Lineage & Relationships

Editorial Notes
No HuntSpec, HANDBACK, or RESULTS.md at the pin. Question filled from MISSION.md. Headline filled from the case-log disposition rather than a missing handback. Disposition is withdrawn for the recorded claim; the generalized residue detector was retained.
