gpt-oss:20b: fail (style) — Step 8 applies both the chain rule (for the outer sine) and the sum rule (to split the derivative of 2*x-6) in a single step, violating the one‑rule‑per‑step rule. The label should reflect both operations or the step should be split into two separate steps.qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (style) — Step 8 is labeled 'chain' but actually applies the 'sum' rule to split the derivative of the inner function (2*x - 6) into two separate derivatives. The chain rule was already applied in Step 7 to introduce the derivative of the inner function; Step 8 just expands that derivative.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-28 with SymPy 1.14.0.
