conclusion: NOT a null result. 57 papers cite S-0001, and the warp-drive-relevant subset runs continuously from 2021 to 2026 — 'Hyper-fast positive energy warp drives' (2201.00652), 'Constant velocity physical warp drive solution' (2405.02709), 'Violations of the Weak Energy Condition for Lentz Warp Drives' (2511.18251), 'Observer-robust energy condition verification for warp drive spacetimes' (2602.18023), 'On the boundary cost of source-consistent warp shells' (2605.25417), 'Steering a warp drive without exotic matter' (2606.22531). The question is live and contested through 2026, not settled in 2022. This refutes the time index of C-0003.

note: ! INSPIRE query syntax hazard, measured: 'refersto arxiv:2105.03079' returns 300434 hits — the entire database — with plausible-looking top results (Review of Particle Physics, DESI, EHT). It does not error. Only 'refersto recid:<recid>' filters. A search that answers a different question than the one asked is the same failure class as arXiv returning HTTP 200 for a fabricated identifier: count and inspect, never trust that a query meant what you wrote.

conclusion: All three 2026 warp papers found on OpenAlex with cited_by_count = [0, 0, 0] and single author ['A. T. Le']; none carries a journal DOI. Positive control: S-0001's DOI returns cited_by_count = 45, so zero is not a query artifact. Run by the lead to move the check from a workflow transcript into the searches ledger (auditor process finding, X-0023 family). HAZARD, measured by the auditor and confirmed relevant: the api.openalex.org/works/https://arxiv.org/abs/<id> endpoint 404s even for indexed works — resolve by DOI or title.search, never by arXiv URL.
