Claims

C1strongest claim

progenitor age is the primary driver of both the strong host-age--HR relation and the apparent host-mass and host-sSFR steps.

C2weakest assumption

That the measured host-galaxy ages accurately trace the progenitor ages of the supernovae and that the observed correlations reflect a direct physical dependence rather than selection effects or other confounders.

C3one line summary

Progenitor age is the primary physical driver of the host-mass and host-sSFR magnitude steps in Type Ia supernovae, with the mass step eliminated by direct age correction.
