We study whether a flat lattice-gauge Hodge form supplemented by a penalty depending only on a line-integral block variable can control the full fine one-cochain norm uniformly in the block side. The constant-field sector selects the exponent (d-2)/2 only under exact scale neutrality, but this scaling test does not address the kernel of the block map. We construct transverse, divergence-free, block-periodic Fourier cochains that are annihilated exactly by the block map. Their first-mode Hodge Rayleigh quotient is 4 sin²(pi/L), forcing every admissible full-space Poincaré constant to grow at least quadratically with L. The obstruction applies to every scale-dependent scalar functional factored through the block variable and satisfying only that it vanishes at the coarse zero field; no linearity, continuity, positivity, or growth condition is required. For linear postconditioners, higher Fourier frequencies yield an orthogonal real subspace of dimension 2R and a min—max bound on the 2R-th eigenvalue, establishing a growing low-energy spectral cluster. We also derive an exact repair identity and a necessary witness-channel budget for modified block measurements and additional fine-space terms. The kernel construction, Hodge energy, factorized no-go theorem, repair identity, and necessary repair budget are formalized in Lean 4. The result concerns a finite periodic flat full-domain form and makes no claim about interacting coercivity, gauge quotients, continuum limits, or the Yang—Mills mass gap.
