2Authored explanation
The program represents each secret and query by a twelve-bit mask. At every decision state it partitions the current secrets by intersection size, applies the score specified in the claim, and recurses through every nonempty child.
The leaf-depth histogram is \[ (1:2),(2:4),(3:10),(4:44),(5:318),(6:526),(7:20). \] The corresponding decision-state histogram is \[ (0:1),(1:5),(2:19),(3:63),(4:175),(5:211),(6:10). \] Every one of the 924 secrets reaches a singleton leaf. The SHA-256 digest of the 484 canonical preorder decision rows is `fd5edc3f809d3b0e167953de0f8e480cf896cffca69c6ffd1ce3506dd80a52b2`. The canonical report digest is `cd567fec4456d76ad9406412dcdc75fd81e49b4897bb098e03059ac7b1a54a15`.
