Audit review

The paper proves a coding theorem for recurrently strongly temperable 0‑summable orbits (Theorem 1.1) via I‑chains, Lyapunov (S^2/U^2) metrics, discretized double Pesin charts, a graph transform yielding weak stable/unstable manifolds, and a locally finite countable Markov partition with a finite‑to‑one coding on Σ#; π has summable variations and the bundles have summable variations as well. The candidate solution mirrors this construction step‑by‑step and identifies the same image RST, commuting semi‑conjugacy, local compactness, and square‑summability at coded points. Minor slips (e.g., one exponent written as −2 instead of −2γ, a heuristic O(r^{5/2}) bound, and calling the discretization “dyadic”) do not affect the argument’s substance, which follows the paper’s scheme and conclusions closely; see the paper’s definitions and statements of Theorem 1.1, Definition 2.8–2.9, Proposition 2.20, Theorem 2.13, Proposition 3.14, Theorem 5.2, and the characterization Σ# ↔ RST.

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The manuscript advances symbolic coding to the 0-summable regime with possible zero Lyapunov exponents, establishing a locally finite Markov partition whose factor map has summable variations, and identifying the image as RST. The technical execution (Lyapunov metrics from S\^2/U\^2, I-chains, graph transform, inverse problem) is solid and extends known schemes with careful calibrations. The results are correct and significant for thermodynamic formalism beyond uniformly hyperbolic settings. Minor presentational refinements would improve readability.
