For $y,i\in\mathbb N$ , let $S_{y,i}$ be the list obtained by scanning $y+1,\ldots,y+i$ in order and appending exactly the prime values. Then

0\le j<k<|S_{y,i}|\quad\Longrightarrow\quad(S_{y,i})_j<(S_{y,i})_k.

Thus every scan prefix is strictly increasing, including the empty prefix. This ordering property supports the prime-pool interface and rules out repeated candidate values.
