Tail/arc-compression search. Transferred the compact 32-element upper-tail core from nearby successful moduli. At N=3345 the whole set lies above N/2 (min=1760 > 1672.5). Swept thresholds N/4, N/3, 2N/5, N/2 and nearby 0.30, 3/8, 0.45; no direct insertion. Exhaustive 1->2 and 2->3 searches at representative thresholds found no growth, and sampled 3->4 searches reached refill pools up to 11 without a compatible 4-refill. Submitted the verified size-32 hard-tail core.
