COMMENTS
It appears that the last term in A109812 of binary length n is always 2^n - 1 itself. The term after that is (by definition) A352206(n).
If we subtract 1 from a(n), we appear to get a subsequence of A352204, the indices of record high points in A109812.
There are also occasional near-coincidences with A305370.
EXAMPLE
The last term in A109812 of binary length at most 3 is A109812(16) = 7, so a(3) = 16.
