Rank one across a checked genus-two/genus-two core bridge #
A separating core slot remains a separating unit edge in every positive subdivision. When its two induced factors have genus two, elementary Brill--Noether existence supplies degree-two pencils on the factors and the bridge gluing theorem removes one chip. The result is a degree-three pencil on the original subdivision, uniformly in all positive slot lengths.
This is the structural shortcut used by the first Draisma--Vargas genus-four type. It is independent of that application and of any finite cone cover.

A valid separating core edge with two genus-two sides gives a degree-three rank-one divisor on every positive subdivision of that core.
