docs/FORMALIZE.md defines when a skeptic-confirmed proof step earns a
machine-checked certificate, the statement-review step that carries the
informal-to-formal bridge risk, and three pilot candidates from the
current ledger. FORMALIZED enters the schema enum, the AGENTS.md
vocabulary, the site badge/gloss tables, and the attempt template;
problems/*/formal/ is registered tier 1.

The skeptic pass now checks claimed-new results against the literature
(rediscovery is recorded as rediscovery, with the citation), and
CONTRIBUTING.md carries it as bar item 7. CYCLE.md step 4 points at the
FORMALIZED escalation for load-bearing proof-shaped survivors.

New current-guidance section (2026-08-04): ripple-scan the ten Astra
results before other queue work, novelty gate and formalization lane
adopted, portfolio note on preferring decade-open specialist-tractable
targets with checkable deliverables. STATUS.md gets the dated insights
entry, queue item 15 (ripple scan) and 16 (billiards formalization
pilot), and a TL;DR process note. No mathematical state changed.

First certificate of the docs/FORMALIZE.md lane: 005's Lemma L1 (for
fixed s in (0, pi/2], c |-> c*cot(cs) strictly decreasing on (0,1])
proved in Lean 4 / mathlib v4.32.2, zero sorry, axioms limited to
propext/Classical.choice/Quot.sound, prebuilt mathlib via lake cache.
Review-shape record with the hypothesis mapping flagged pending
independent statement review; formal/.lake is git-ignored. New
mechanism tag machine-checked-formalization. test_records.py now
skips .lake/ vendored docs in the missing-file lint.

Independent skeptic pass on the Lean pilot: statement fidelity vs 005's
Lemma L1 confirmed hypothesis-by-hypothesis with no narrowing (Ioc,
StrictAntiOn and Real.cot semantics read from mathlib source), vacuity/
cheat scan clean, root module confirmed to elaborate the theorem file,
independent rebuild green with the reviewer's own axiom audit (propext,
Classical.choice, Quot.sound only), all three L1 uses in 005 confirmed
in-hypothesis. 009's two pending gaps closed in the index; 009's record
untouched.

Ripple scan of the ten Astra results: zero hits across the portfolio;
both flagged bites (Ehrhart vs mahler-4d, extremal/Ramsey vs
erdos-gyarfas) recorded as reasoned misses, one conditional
analysis-lens seed kept as SPECULATION in insights, two scan hazards
recorded (name collision, Erdős numbering conflict). Formalization
pilot closed: L1 certificate entry added to verified results, queue
items 15/16 retired, new item 15 targets the I1-I4 Laurent block.
GUIDANCE.md directives updated to completed state; ops notes on the
Lean toolchain recorded in insights.

…n, review pending

Second certificate of the FORMALIZE.md lane: 005's closed-form
composition, the glide/translation facts, and identities I1-I4/D1-D2
proved in Lean 4 over an arbitrary field with (a,b) carried as actual
powers of universally quantified generators; specialization corollaries
included. 23 theorems, zero sorries, axioms propext/Classical.choice/
Quot.sound only, toolchain pins unchanged. Two findings recorded: the
block is homogeneous in i (the i^2 = -1 hypothesis is never needed),
and no Laurent-ring API is required (field_simp + ring_nf suffice).
Geometry bridge explicitly out of scope; statement review and
independent rebuild pending per the 009->010 precedent.

…ALIZED pass complete

Independent skeptic pass, zero corrections: all 23 theorems mapped to
005 statement-by-statement (angle monomials, factor-of-2 conventions,
signs and orientations all verbatim; permutation/sign-swap hunts came
up empty), conjugation-as-substitution confirmed as 008's star
involution with nothing smuggled (key theorems quantify over arbitrary
pairs), dropped i^2=-1 confirmed safe-direction and independently
re-proved with i as a formal variable, N/Z parameter coverage confirmed
non-narrowing, cheat scan clean, independent rebuild green with own
axiom audit. All 31 identities re-derived exactly in a from-scratch
stdlib Laurent-ring engine (lbsk_review.py). Geometry bridge remains
permanent out-of-scope carried by 005/008.

…keptic pending

Queue item 1's probe-first step: the i-aggregated odds-ratio control
survives every seeded attack at n <= 32 (013 anchor reproduced exact),
but a replicated-witness ladder MU(n,r) with orbit-optimized shared
unit weights drives the aggregate negative past n ~ 90: certified in
exact rational arithmetic at t=4 (lambda=2) at n=96/128/160 with
marginals <= 0.309 < 0.38271, enclosure widths <= 1e-18, dichotomy
checks exact, sign robust to the alternative bookkeeping and 3%
perturbations. Claimed ledger consequence (pending skeptic): the
aggregated-control proof branch closes negative; the gap falls to the
margin-modulated control and a lambda <~ c/n restricted variant.

…tions

Fully independent confirmation: quantity re-derived from 007/013 prose
and re-implemented from scratch (scaled-integer arithmetic, own log2
enclosure via interval squaring + directed dyadic rounding), hitting
the 013 anchor digit-for-digit and re-deriving all three kill
certificates to 18+ digits (n=96 enclosure strictly negative, width
1.3e-20). Family rebuilt atom-for-atom from prose; marginals and
dichotomy certified as integer inequalities; positive controls
confirmed and the surviving raw-weight ladder upgraded to certified
+0.157. Corrections: C1 cosmetic (n=128 has 252 atoms, not 253); C2
real - the violation lives at lambda in [2,2.5], NOT in the 009/011
workable window (~0.05 at n=96), so the recorded forall-lambda gap is
validly closed but the lambda <~ c/n restricted variant is untouched
and stays live alongside the margin-modulated control.

…ed lines)

TL;DR rewritten for the cycle headline (aggregated OR control refuted
at large n, Laurent block formalized); union-closed and billiards
problem rows updated; queue item 1 restated to the two surviving Gap-1
candidates with probe-first designs, old item 15 replaced by the
kill-frontier follow-ups; verified-results entries added for the
Laurent block (011/012) and the aggregated-control refutation
(014/015); new dead-end entry for the unrestricted-lambda aggregated
form with the ladder genre as reusable adversary; unit-replication
insight recorded; GUIDANCE and FORMALIZE.md pilot list updated to
completed state. Crouzeix blind line still pending integration.

First attempt on the last untouched problem, run blind per the queue
(worked in a blind.sh copy; prior art physically absent). 286-start
census of the Crouzeix ratio at n=3, deg<=3 from seven structured
start families, certified rational enclosures at every endpoint, zero
refutations: all probe-surviving local maxima are known structure (13
ice-cream-cone points at ratio 1 - a blind rediscovery of
Greenbaum-Overton's configuration, cited; 97 Jordan-type endpoints
climbing to ratio ~2); all four intermediate candidates fell to deep
escape-probing as optimizer stalls. Standing gap recorded: the
published GO intermediate maxima are untested by this design. Merge
adds the four mechanism-tag definitions per the blind-flow rule.

Independent re-certification of 30/286 endpoints with a structurally
different certifier (Sylvester-minor bisection, Bernstein segment
bounds, own direction set) - all consistent, anchors to the last
digit, denominator discretization confirmed conservative. All four
intermediate-candidate stall verdicts re-confirmed with a corrected
equal-sample-count probe protocol (001's 128-vs-512 comparison could
manufacture ascent; verdicts survive at 512-vs-512). Corrections:
near-2 class is 94 not 97 (partition now exact); index one_line's
'all certified below 2' overstated - the sound statement is 0
certified above 2; Calcolo 2021 / arXiv:2105.14176 is Overton alone;
ascent figures precise; 2/13 ratio-1 maxima have near-flat multipeaks.
Blind label accurate for prior-art absence; task framing was
orchestrator-assigned (caveat recorded).

…tempted

Crouzeix moves off 'no attempts': verified-results entry for the
286-start certified census (001/002) with the skeptic's corrected
scoping (0 certified above 2; near-2 class 94), queue item 10 restated
to the intermediate-maxima basin hunt (informed; the blind census is
spent), TL/DR finalized, counts updated (25 verified results, ~56
tools, no unattempted problems). Two insights recorded: blind-mode
data point #3 with the task-framing caveat, and the escape-probe
sample-parity lesson.

Closed in favour of #12, which is this branch's content merged with main — now in main as c2b1d44.

The conflict was not textual: a parallel cycle ran the same queue line (union-closed queue item 1) and landed its own attempts numbered 014/015 plus an engine called uc_or_agg_probe.py. Those reached main first, so this branch's pair was renumbered to 016/017 and its engines renamed to uc_agg_ctrl_probe.py / uc_agg_ctrl_probe2.py / uc_agg_ctrl_skeptic.py. Identifiers only — no finding, number or certificate in either side's records was changed, and the n = 96 kill certificate re-runs identically under the new names.

The two lines turned out to be compatible: 014 certifies the aggregate positive at n ≤ 32, 016 finds nothing negative there either and kills the ∀λ statement at n = 96–160 on a ladder 014's battery never built. 014 carries superseded_by: "016" in the index for the one claim that does not survive (that proof effort was justified); everything it certified stands.
