1.28249... Lower Bound and Partial Upper Bounds for Cost-Preserving Single-Source Unsplittable Flows

Record lower bound only. The sub-2 ceiling is the codimension-two case and does not bound the record ladder (k=17 has complement mass 11). 4/3 and 2 are conjectures; the proved gap is [1.28249, 2].
