A second grid, fully confirmed
Confirmed by reading all fourteen discourses of this vagga together: the identical 7×2 structure already met at Sūriyapeyyālavagga, run here without the dawn simile — two independently verified instances of the same underlying design within this saṃyutta's own peyyāla vaggas.
This vagga's own quiet close
Following this discourse's own genuinely translated content, the root Pāli carries this vagga's own closing colophon (“Ekadhammapeyyālaṁ,” without an ordinal, matching this saṃyutta's own other peyyāla vaggas) and an untranslated meta-uddāna naming the identical seven qualities as Sūriyapeyyālavagga's own — confirmed by comparing both uddānas directly, word for word identical — described here rather than quoted, since this content is left untranslated in Sujato's own English.

§1“… accomplishment in rational application of mind. A mendicant accomplished in rational application of mind can expect to develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path. And how does a mendicant accomplished in rational application of mind develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path? It’s when a mendicant develops right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which culminate in the removal of greed, hate, and delusion. That’s how a mendicant accomplished in rational application of mind develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path.”
