Exact Kusner counterexample certificate replay passed

Prior state unknown→Exact rational-box certificate replay passed for 58 equilateral points in l_5^56

The Zenodo archive matched its published checksums. Its quick check covered all 1,653 point pairs, and the full FLINT-backed verifier passed exact claims C1-C6 in 80 seconds. The result is recorded as an artifact replay, not peer review.

The archived exact certificate satisfies all six stated contraction conditions for a unique exactly equilateral configuration of 58 points in ℓ556\ell_5^{56} inside the specified rational box; since 58>57=n+158>57=n+1, this configuration is a counterexample to Kusner's conjecture.

This status is an exact replay of the authors' certificate with its pinned Python dependencies. It does not independently review every argument in the paper or constitute peer review.
