Minimal subtraction (mu=1/R_K6) gives F=-0.45430<0; the corpus c_loop uses FRG-2 NLO Litim shell-projection, a DIFFERENT finite scheme.

The continuation is COMPLETE (not deferred): zeta_{Delta_K6}(s) has a SIMPLE POLE at s=-1/2 (Theta(t) carries a nonzero t^{+1/2} term, coeff=+0.28786), so the one-loop vacuum energy is UV-divergent and its finite part is scheme-dependent. The scheme-INVARIANT residue is NEGATIVE (R=-0.08120), which is the sign BRANCH-STANDS would want -- but it is the residue of a DIVERGENCE, not the finite wall coefficient. The finite part F that actually sets the wall is scheme-dependent (its sign flips with the renormalization scale mu), so the FAVORABLE BRANCH-STANDS is NOT forced. The well stays gated on the owner's FRG-2 NLO Litim shell-projection SCHEME -- now a single named scheme choice (a smaller residual), not a whole missing computation.",

(2) Confirmation that the wall coefficient is the FINITE PART under that scheme (not the residue), and that the full 13D field content (the divergence's coefficient) is renormalized consistently.",

The frozen c_loop magnitude (1.3637877e-5) was used ONLY at the final cross-check, strictly AFTER the sign/structure were computed, and ONLY as a geometry-side comparison -- never as an input to the continuation. The favorable BRANCH-STANDS was NOT forced: the residue is reported NEGATIVE (scheme-invariant) but the wall-setting finite part is reported SCHEME-DEPENDENT and the magnitude cross-check is reported as an honest MISMATCH.",
