Abstract
Let f be a Rademacher random completely multiplicative function. We study the left endpoints of long constant stretches. A refined weighted two-window relation estimate, combined with conditioning on the small primes, yields total-variation Poisson approximation in a dyadic block at the critical scale. The same lattice comparison controls positions, exact excesses, the threshold staircase, and a discrete Poisson–Gaussian bridge. On a finite prefix, the exact left-border event has probability q_L = 2^(-π(L))(1 + O(2^(-π(L)/256))). Combining this estimate with mesoscopic negligibility and a relative bulk lattice-process approximation yields an unconditional microscopic–bulk crossover for the first contained exceedance. An accompanying technical companion supplies the detailed arithmetic, rank, threshold, and relative-error verifications.

Title
Technical companion to Critical Poisson fields for long constant stretches of a random completely multiplicative function
Description
This companion provides the verification layer for the article’s arithmetic and discrete-field results. It fixes the parameter hierarchy and dictionary, gives the Runge calculation, identifies the obstruction to an invalid channel reduction, and records the Pell interface. It verifies the weighted two-window estimates through the bounded-ratio and macroscopic decompositions.
Growing-order moments and direct L1 channel summation remove the 7/4 Cauchy–Schwarz losses outside the terminal sector, while isolating the terminal clustering problem. A valuation-matrix argument establishes qL = 2−π(L)(1 + O(2−π(L)/256)), with explicit product thresholds and the uniform Laishram–Shorey input. A mesoscopic sieve, relative bulk lattice-process Chen–Stein estimate, and stable product lift yield the unconditional first-contained-exceedance crossover.
The companion also develops the moving exact-length field, strong Poisson staircase, resolved thinning and reverse-immigration kernels, and discrete Poisson–Gaussian bridge. The macroscopic transport of the complete moving exact-mark field remains open. Unqualified statement numbers refer to the article; appendix-letter labels refer to this companion.

Title
Lean formalization and audit repository of the previous version of the paper
Description
The Lean development remains pinned to manuscript v0.9. The repository contains the frozen 382-file core, the Challenge/Solution audit boundaries, the machine-readable statement map, literature certificates, and reproducibility scripts. The canonical results remain conditional on seven explicitly registered literature-facing propositions.
