[#R459] Independent C++ area-11 cross-check
1Summary
A separate C++17 implementation reproduces all 16 macrotile rows, all 414 candidate outputs, and every doubled-fiber histogram used in the area-11 exclusion.
The C++ program implements the periodic B3/S23 update with nested coordinate loops and stores complete fiber arrays in std::vector<uint32_t>. It shares no evaluator code with the Python replay. For the 16 dimension pairs of area at most 11 up to rotation, it enumerates 5,966 base inputs. For every base dimension having a two-predecessor output, it enumerates the doubled-width map once, covering another 6,705,172 inputs. The total is 6,711,138 exact Life evaluations.
All 414 base candidates fail the required doubled-width count of four. The output reproduces every histogram in life-sbu-claim-binary-full-shift-area-eleven-exclusion. Three direct executions were byte-identical. The 774-byte output has SHA-256 724665f4e0023a607ff3ebc15b7a5172e964d865bd5a063339fa4f6288951c6a.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: all 16 positive macrotile pairs of area at most 11 up to rotation and every base output with exactly two periodic predecessors.
