Precisely there are 5 errorous arguments I made in the thread.
First & foremost, the Birmingham MS being Uthmanic is proven via rasm & philology.

This argument is flawed since I replaced the argument of Birmingham MS with Sana'a MS.

The simple reply to that is :--
"Consonantal dotting can contain non-canonical variants, but non-canonical does not necessarily mean non-Uthmanic. A text can agree with the uthmanic rasm and still have variants outside 10 recitations.
It is clear that there was a very close 3/

It is clear that there was a very close 3/
relation between the regional readings & Quranic copies that were send to different regions by Uthman out of which we know of 4 regions - Medina, Kufa,Basra,Sham. The Makkan codex has little fragmentary to evaluate though the reliable reports suggest distribution to 4 regions. 4/
So in principle, the readers followed their regional codices & seek other options if they'd a problem for which we've rarely few instances. In any case, most variants make no difference in meaning.

as it's strawman fallacy due to misinterpreting the argument for Birmingham with Sana'a manuscript.
Verse numbering/endings is there in manuscript and since the Text is Uthmanic so it seems more later than codification; in fact probably be part of a bigger Uthmanic codex

As one can see in above image, the text conforms to the standard Uthmanic type text with surah divisions indicated by decorated lines & verse endings by clustered dots.
Also, UV testing of the leaves confirmed no underwriting & thus exclude the chance of being a palimpsest. 7/

Strawman again.
Jay(from those article aabhas plagiarized his thread)was talking of consonant based diacritical marks

One of them is also part of Birmingham MS like تشرك in 18:26
But most of these diacritical marks are scribal errors as in early days, they weren't following strict copy standards.

Syntax or even different meaning.
But we can resolve the issue by comparing such variant or error with other manuscripts.

I was wrong here in not noticing 2 dots making it تشرك.

Codex thus his recitation was of Basran rasm.
This is just canonical variant by ibn Amr else the text conform with Uthman rasm. So it won't make any difference, just minor variant.

The above ending afterباصود doesn't follow any regional rasm, an error.
In conclusion :-
The Birmingham manuscript is Uthmanic without any doubt bcz
Paleontologically the text seems of little late than that found in earlier manuscripts.
Much thanks to @PhDniX & @AbuSafiyah1
