Strategy 4.1 (minor): Re-derived the set-up: F'_e = Q_q(p^{1/e}) is Eisenstein (x^e - p), totally ramified with residue field F_q and e-close to F_q((t)) (Lemma 4.2(a)); D-closeness is Deligne's truncation with the Lambda-structure and the class of the uniformizer; the five-step plan is coherent, every characteristic-0 theorem is used only over F'_e, and the Chen-Yi remark is confirmed in chen-yi-v4 (the proof of Prop. 17(i) cites GN10 Thm 8.2.9 and Nad04 Thm 4.2, over C). Defect: the summary's inventory 'in characteristic p only Cartan and Iwasawa decompositions, Hensel and Lang are used' is incomplete: Proposition 4.5 (E2), (E3) also use Steinberg's connectedness theorem, Edixhoven's smoothness, the scheme-theoretic B cap H of S4-4, H^1(E, split connected solvable) = 1 and density of the open orbit in X(E). All of these hold for p odd (p = 3 included) and are listed in Summary 4.11, so no claim changes.

Lemma 4.2 (minor): Re-derived (a)-(e): p in varpi'^e O' makes O'/varpi'^m an F_q-algebra and F_q[T] -> O'/varpi'^m, T -> varpi', is an onto map of equal length, hence a Lambda-algebra isomorphism; Cartan detection follows from K-bi-invariance of val, the minimum over weights at w0 omega_i, and the six values <nu, -omega_{i*}>; superadditivity gives c <= a+b, and dominant c lie in the simple-coroot cone, so finitely many; Iwasawa detection from l_i rho_i(u) = l_i and primitive rows of GL_n(O). In (e), varpi^N M(z) is integral, 'val >= c' is a congruence mod varpi^{N+c}, and Lambda-coefficients (p, Weyl-module binomials) reduce compatibly in both truncated rings because D <= e kills p on both sides, so D = max(N+c+1) is field-independent. Defect: the 'see also Zhu (2.1.2)' for the Cartan decomposition over F_q((t)) is mis-scoped, since Zhu's Lecture II assumes k algebraically closed; the primary citation (Bruhat-Tits, any non-archimedean local field) is correct. Also (b) lists X among the smooth affine schemes before Audit 4.3 proves X affine, but (e) uses only G and H. No claim changes.

Proposition 4.5 (minor): Re-derived steps 1-8: separation through tau and disjoint Cartan double cosets; t^l k x0 ~ t^l k' x0 iff t^l k h k'^-1 t^-l in K for some h in H(E); h has G-label <= l + l*, so eta ranges over a finite field-independent B(l); every condition is of type Lemma 4.2(e), ~ is pulled back from G(O/varpi^D1), labels satisfy kappa <= l + (-theta l)^+ = 2l, and the injection M_l(E) -> K\Z_l(E) between sets of equal size is a bijection. (E1)-(E4) hold over F_q((t)) for p odd including p = 3 (split H = F4 with T_H in T; Lang for the connected H_{F_q} plus Hensel; X(E) = G(E)x0 from S4-4 step 3, H^1(E, split solvable) = 1 and density of the open orbit), and H-Cartan over every F'_e holds by S4-12/S4-13 (Delorme-Secherre Thm 4.8 needs only residue characteristic != 2, checked in the source); A3-8 reaches the same parametrization by another route. Defect: 'so Axiom 2.4.1Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.4.1, relabelled (A3b): the Cartan decomposition of X(F) into K-orbits. holds for M_theta over F_q[[t]]' is not proved here: Axiom 2.4.1Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.4.1, relabelled (A3b): the Cartan decomposition of X(F) into K-orbits. (p. 10) is phrased through A_X^+, i.e. through the characteristic-p valuation monoid Lambda_X^+, and the step explicitly uses no statement over an algebraic closure; the missing input is that the valuation cone is the image of the antidominant chamber in characteristic != 2 (claimed in A3-7(3), which I did not check). The orbit parametrization K\X(F) = Lambda_S^+, which is all that Proposition 4.6 and Theorem 4.8 use, is fully proved.

Proposition 4.6 (minor): Re-derived: the orbit test y in Kx_nu iff tau(y) in K t^nu K under H-Cartan; Kt^lK/K = K/K_l with K_l containing K(c(l)) by the Iwahori factorization; tau(t^-l k^-1 x_nu) = t^-l k^-1 t^nu theta(k) t^{theta l}, a right-K_l-invariant condition of type Lemma 4.2(e); support nu <= l + mu + (-theta l)^+ = 2l + mu (since -theta = w_L); Satake counts n_{l,nu} with delta_B^{1/2}(t^nu) = q^{-<rho,nu>}, checked by hand on GL2, l = (1,0) (q cosets with nu = (1,0), one with nu = (0,1), giving the W-invariant q^{1/2}(e^{(1,0)} + e^{(0,1)})). Defect in (c), step 6: a field-independent D'(l) needs a field-independent finite set of nu with n_{l,nu} != 0, and 'only nu with nu^+ <= l occur' is asserted without proof, while Lemma 4.2(d) gives only one inequality. The claim is true (classical convexity, or the two-line box bound <l, w0 omega_i> <= <nu, w0 omega_i> <= <l, omega_i> from primitivity of the row l_i rho_i(k)), so (a)-(d) hold.

Audit 4.7 (minor): Checked against the printed text: the unramified assumption is invoked only in §1.1, the §3.8 parenthetical (in the same sentence that fixes psi of conductor o, as §1.7 does) and §5.3; with psi of conductor O and dx(O) = 1 the measure is self-dual, and (3.10), (4.1) (F 1_{p x O} = q^-1 1_{O x p^-1}), Tate's unramified and ramified formulas, (5.2), (5.3), Lemma 3.9.1, Lemma 4.2.3 and (4.5) hold verbatim over every finite F'/Q_p; P_kappa = c^-1 times the right side of (7.4) (Def. 7.2.3: L_X^{1/2} = c beta) depends only on q; S4-3/4/5/10/12/13 are ramification-free; base change of (A3a)(A3a) Rank-one models over O (Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1): for every Borel orbit Y of maximal rank and every simple root α, the O-scheme YP_α/R(P_α) is one of the four standard PGL2-spaces over O, with his scheme structure on Y, and YP_α is the closure of its generic fibre minus the closure of the generic boundary. from Lambda to the finite free O'_e is right (flat closures, open map). Defect: step 6 calls §3.2-3.7 'geometry over the algebraic closure and combinatorics', but §3.2 (Thm 3.2.2), §3.3 (Lemma 3.3.5) and §3.7 (Thm 3.7.1 = [Sa08, Thm 5.2.1]) are p-adic harmonic analysis from [Sa08], whose hypotheses the step never checks. I opened [Sa08] (math/0606130v2): §1.7 and §4.1 fix k a locally compact non-archimedean field of characteristic 0, with no unramified, conductor or residue-characteristic assumption anywhere, so every claim (a)-(d) holds; this is R-3's check, which I confirmed. Fine point: 'quotients by R(P_alpha) commute with flat base change' needs the quotient map to be universal (e.g. flat), as it is for the models of A2-8; Sakellaridis only says 'geometric quotient'.

Proposition 4.9 (minor): Re-derived the conditional theorem: x_kappa = kappa(sqrt varpi)x0 is rational (Galois acts by kappa(-1) in S[2], contained in H; E(sqrt varpi)/E separable for p odd) with tau(x_kappa) = t^kappa; a split maximal torus T_H of H lies in a split maximal torus gTg^-1, g in G(Lambda), so eta(varpi) is in K t^{eta'} K and Lemma 4.2(e) applies with Lambda-coefficients; by (T3) the label test is 'exists k: t^-l k^-1 t^kappa theta(k) t^{theta l} in K'; covering uses (T2), X(O) = Kx0 uses (T1) with Lang and Hensel, counting uses (T4), and the module transfer uses (T5). Defect: step 5 asserts that P_kappa is e-independent for a general symmetric X because the data of (8.1)/(7.4) 'are the same for all F'_e', without argument; (T5) does not give this, since the signs sigma of virtual weighted colours depend on the F'_e-rationality of type-T tori (p. 59), and a torus split by a ramified quadratic field such as Q_q(sqrt p) splits over Q_q(p^{1/e}) only for e even. The conclusion holds anyway: under (A3a)(A3a) Rank-one models over O (Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1): for every Borel orbit Y of maximal rank and every simple root α, the O-scheme YP_α/R(P_α) is one of the four standard PGL2-spaces over O, with his scheme structure on Y, and YP_α is the closure of its generic fibre minus the closure of the generic boundary. over Lambda (the 'e.g.' of (T5)) the tori are defined over the discrete valuation ring and the data are e-independent, and in general the data take finitely many values, so the transfer can be run along infinitely many e with constant data. The run's audit A5-7 graded this step correct without addressing the point.

Dead end 4.10 (minor): Checked: Axiom 2.2.1Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1, relabelled (A3a): rank-one models over O. over O enters at §3.3.4 ('as o-schemes Z x U_alpha = Y'), Lemma 3.3.5, Prop. 3.3.6 and §5.1/§5.4 ('up to an integral change of coordinates'); Thm 3.7.1 gives the functional equations only up to non-zero rational functions; D(l, mu) is unbounded, so infinitely many F'e are needed; (I_Lambda) is exactly S4-13's open input (I) for Q_q and implies Axiom 2.2.1Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1, relabelled (A3a): rank-one models over O. over every O'_e by Audit 4.7 step 8 ('are one statement' is loose: sufficient, not equivalent). Defects in the blocked alternative (item 4): Lemma 1.7(c) needs one fixed mu with 1{Kx_mu} not in H_K phi0 over F'_e for arbitrarily large e, whereas non-cyclicity of C_K(F'_e) for each e only gives an e-dependent mu; and Axiom 2.4.2Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.4.2, relabelled (A3c): Iwahori orbits at the antidominant torus points. enters the normalization mu(x0 J) = 1 of Delta_chi (§3.4), not its existence. The dead-end conclusion itself (the transfer needs (I_Lambda); nothing over F_q[[t]] replaces it on this route) is correct, and (I_Lambda) was later supplied by A2-8.

Summary 4.11 (minor): Each item matches its parent, re-checked above: 1 = Proposition 4.5 (orbit parametrization proved; the added 'Axiom 2.4.1Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.4.1, relabelled (A3b): the Cartan decomposition of X(F) into K-orbits. over F_q[[t]]' wording inherits Proposition 4.5's gap, the characteristic-p valuation cone), 2 = Proposition 4.6 (true; the Satake nu-bound is supplied by the box lemma), 3 = Audit 4.7 (true; [Sa08] is valid over every characteristic-0 local field), 4 = Theorem 4.8 (true under (I_Lambda)), 5 = Proposition 4.9 (conditional, true). The checklist is accurate: characteristic-0 theorems are used only over F'_e; characteristic-p inputs are the Cartan and Iwasawa decompositions of split G and H, Hensel, Lang, Steinberg, Edixhoven, S4-4's B cap H and H^1 of split solvable groups, all valid for p odd including p = 3; there is no circularity; and (I_Lambda) is correctly identified as the only open input.
