[#R835] The exact normalized extremum was not located in the audited literature

claim. Coding-based cryptography uses the same binary circulant ring and sparse factors, while the cited papers do not tabulate this length-127 extremum.

1Summary

Misoczki, Tillich, Sendrier, and Barreto formulate QC-MDPC McEliece systems with binary circulant blocks and identify the circulant algebra with a quotient polynomial ring. Their work explains why sparse binary cyclic polynomials and invertibility arise together in code-based cryptography. Guo, Johansson, and Stankovski state the rank and coprimality criterion for a binary circulant block in their reaction-attack analysis.

Those sources address code construction, rank, and security. The audited passages do not give the maximum inverse weight for normalized weight-five units at length 127, nor an exhaustive table that contains it. A targeted exact computation is still needed to close the interval in this fixture.

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
