Audit review

The paper’s Theorem 1 defines L in exactly the two cases (Q∞ independent of X3 or of X1) and proves by a direct computation that L sends Qλ(ν) to Qλ(ν̂) and fixes the base curve off the stated coordinate hyperplane. The candidate solution reproduces the same computation and homogeneity argument (Q∞(L(X)) scaling by X4^2 or X2^2), reaching the same conclusions with the same structure of proof. See Theorem 1 and its proof in the paper ; see also the pencil set-up Qλ = Q0 − λQ∞ with Q0 = X1X2 − X3X4 in the general scheme .

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The theorem and computation are correct and align with the paper’s framework. Explicitly noting the homogeneity step that turns Q∞(X̂) into a scaled Q∞(X) would aid readability; otherwise, the result is sound and well-placed in the broader construction.
