79 of them are refereed, proved, numerical, conjectural and have a page of their own under results/; the remainder are listed here with their status only.

A referee pass is not implied by a status. Of the cards listed here, 0 have never been refereed and 0 carry a failed referee pass, that is repairs asked for and not yet absorbed. Cards awaiting a pass after a recent change are marked too, but not counted here: that number moves with day-to-day editing of infrastructure cards that have no page. All three are marked in the tables below, as never refereed, referee pass failed and review pending. Nothing labelled numerical is a theorem.

Optimality of recovery channels (O8, Phases 3 and 3b)

Is the Petz map, or the geometric compression, optimal at second order? Quasi-free SDP, reduction of all channels to it, KKT certificate, and what is still open in exact fidelity.

status claim
provedA-C restriction bound: (Tcond) implies E_AC = 0 exactly; applied on the hopping chain (4,8,2), (4,12,2), (4,16,2)
provedAll-channel second-order optimum = quasi-free SDP value
provedEvery recovery channel's recovered symbol is quasi-free feasible
provedThe first-order compression defect is a commutator with the vacuum symbol: ddelta = [Q, E_I D_chi E_I] (F1 Lemma 6.1)
provedExterior directions exhaust the invisible space: closure(Ext) = N^perp (question (Q) settled, YES)
provedExact KKT certificate at the compression; Moebius rigidity
provedKKT sign criterion: when the isometric orbit carries the all-channel second-order optimum
provedMoebius reduction: the fidelity and relative entropy of the geometric recovery depend on (a, L, s) only through zeta = a s/(a+L), including the half-line chart a = infinity (zeta = s) (Note 5 Lemma 1.1; check_note5_theory prop:closed)
provedThe Petz map is not second-order optimal (compression 4x better at leading order)
provedSecond-order problem over quasi-free channels is a convex SDP

provedExact (N,Y,V) chart of F and the tangent problem at the compression
provedThe theta-problem in the modular frame of the half-line is a parameter-free quadratic Wiener-Hopf problem (F1 Prop. 6.2)
proved(UH) proved: optimised Uhlmann bound = g_Q of the defect, for every isometric quasi-free channel
numericalHopping chain: T = Q_AB^+ Q_AC satisfies the A-C intertwining conditions (Tcond) for (L_A,L_B,L_C) = (4,8,2), (4,12,2), (4,16,2)
numericalThe all-channel second-order optimum equals the isometric-orbit value: kappa_opt = 1 - theta = 0.616 +- 0.003 (numerical; conditional on H1, H2, H3)
numericalS10's circle model: the ultraviolet taper suppresses theta by ~20%, and there is no taper-free limit
numericalE_rec <= (1-theta) f2 z^2 (1+o(1)): the zero-collar compression is NOT optimal in exact fidelity
numericalThe compression is not the minimiser of the second-order functional
numericalExact -1/2 log det(1-V^*V) with the optimised extension confirms (UH) beyond first order
numericalNS-circle model: Ext = N^perp exactly, with the dimension identity (L-|I|)^2
numericalmpmath at 60-80 digits: dist((1-Pi)M, Ext) = 0 exactly
numericalOptimised exterior extension: UB_c = (1/2)s^2|u|^2 exactly and UB_rot/UB_c = 1-theta
numericalIs the compression beaten in EXACT fidelity?
numericalFinite chains: exterior directions span exactly the invisible space (Ext = N^perp)
numericalFull primal SDP over F in the modular Galerkin frame: min_F g_Q = 8.41 and 7.13 times g_Q(delta_c) at h = 0.4, 0.3 -- the S11 representability obstruction, not a statement about non-isometric channels
numericalKKT criterion numerics: every finite run FAILS (a); the violation extrapolates to 0^- as h -> 0, Ymax -> inf; under H3, (e) follows from the proved E(zeta_inf) >= 0 alone, and the finite-h junction values are positive
numericalStructure of the numerical optimum
numericalTangent SDP over (G, N1, Y1) in the circle model: orbit-only optimum matches (1-theta) to 1.1e-7, full optimum not resolvable (measured Gram cond 2.4e22)
numericalThe first-order gain constant theta = 0.384 +- 0.003 (S10's 0.300 is a taper-suppressed lower bound)
conjecturalHypothesis H1 of the tangent problem: g_Q-differentiability along the scaled family
conjecturalHypothesis H2 of the tangent problem: localisation of the minimisers of the second-order programme
conjecturalHypothesis H3 of the tangent problem (cone hypothesis): every admissible isometry generator with a feasible first-order datum lies in the model cone modulo the linear class
verifiedFinite spectral models do not resolve exact fidelities
opentheta as a geometry-free Wiener-Hopf constant in the modular frame of I
donePhase 4 plan: settle exact-fidelity optimality via the Uhlmann route with arbitrary exterior extensions
donePhase 5 plan: exact value of the all-channel optimum (non-isometric channels) and reconciliation of theta

provedAngle form of the sequential recovery bound, conditional on Hypothesis (U) (vacuous: (U) is refuted)
provedType-III sequential recovery bound: Bures distances add along a chain of von Neumann inclusions (chordal and second-order forms, no Hypothesis (U))

numericalSeparated intervals: CMI with a gap and linearity off criticality
numericalMarkov c-function along the massive flow
numericalThermal states: two-branch law at the cylinder cross ratio, exponential shielding
numericalTwo-branch law confirmed on the lattice
conjecturalSecond-order network law: Phi_tot = sum zeta_j zeta_k G(y_j - y_k), G = c Ghat universal
