C045 - In the alternating-drive scheme the protocol converges optimally at gamma^opt ~= 0.23 pi...
Verdict: partial
Location: Supp. Mat. S1
Type / expected artifact: numeric / numeric
Claim: In the alternating-drive scheme the protocol converges optimally at gamma^opt ~= 0.23 pi with rate 1/N_0^opt = -(1/2) log(lambda_+^opt) ~= 1/7.92 per cycle; for the experimentally measured gamma ~= 0.31 pi the rate is 1/10.35 per cycle.
Models: extraction claude-opus-4-8; verification gpt-5; verification_chain claude-opus-4-8 -> gpt-5; verdict_chain partial -> partial.
Limitations: paper_text_only_reimplementation, rounded_input_sensitivity.

Conclusion
Round-2 audit preserves partial but removes the hard mismatch flag. The closed-form lambda_+(gamma) was read and rerun; it agrees with the full two-cycle superoperator. The optimum is gamma=0.2310pi and N0=7.9165, matching the paper. At the literal rounded gamma=0.31pi the rate is 1/10.6855, but gamma=0.305pi gives N0=10.3096, consistent with the printed 1/10.35. Because the paper labels gamma as approximate, this is a rounded-input sensitivity rather than a hard contradiction.

Output excerpt:
gamma=0.23pi formula lam+=0.776759 numeric lam+=0.776759
gamma=0.31pi formula lam+=0.829304 numeric lam+=0.829304
optimum: gamma_opt=0.2310pi lambda_+^opt=0.776749
optimal rate = 1/N0 = 0.126319 per cycle = 1/7.9165
paper: gamma_opt~0.23pi, rate~1/7.92 -> match: True
measured gamma=0.31pi: rate = 1/10.6855 per cycle
paper says 1/10.35 -> computed 1/10.69 relative diff = 3.2%
