Audit review
The paper proves singular spectrum for exponential staircase rank‑one flows by (i) expressing the spectral type as a generalized Riesz product on R with Fejér weights (Theorem 6.1), and (ii) deriving a CLT-based lower bound (Proposition 15.1) that, via a Bourgain-style criterion (Proposition 7.4 / Theorem 7.1), yields singularity (Theorem 14.1). The candidate solution also models the spectrum by Riesz products and uses a CLT, but frames the argument through minor/major arcs and an explicit L2-contraction outside small exceptional sets. This differs in presentation and technical route from the paper’s Proposition 15.1 + Proposition 7.4 chain, but it reaches the same conclusion under the paper’s hypotheses.

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid
\textbf{Justification:}
The paper adapts and extends Riesz-product and CLT techniques to rank-one flows on the real line, and it settles singularity for exponential staircase flows under clear quantitative hypotheses. The methodology is credible and anchored in a Bourgain-style criterion. A few steps are tersely presented (the final reduction from Proposition 15.1 to Theorem 14.1), but can be clarified easily. Overall, a solid contribution for specialists.
