No evidence for core-collapse formed low-spin IMBHs in GWTC-4, with 90% upper limit on merger rate of 0.077 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, low-spin BH mass truncation at 65 solar masses consistent with pair-instability gap lower edge, and high-spin IMBHs from hierarchical mergers.
Natal kicks from supernovae are proposed to disrupt Gaia progenitor binaries containing low-mass black holes more frequently than those leading to gravitational-wave mergers, accounting for the observed difference in the 2.5-5 solar mass gap.

Where are Gaia's small black holes?
