Prime Gaps at Most 186

Assuming three explicit input statements, the project proves DHL[40,2]\mathrm{DHL}[40,2]: every admissible 4040-tuple contains at least two primes infinitely often after translation. An explicit admissible 4040-tuple of diameter 186186 then gives lim infn(pn+1pn)186.\liminf_{n\to\infty}(p_{n+1}-p_n)\le186. The Lean proof of the implication from the three inputs to the final theorem is kernel-checked. Two inputs are Kloosterman-type estimates cited to Katz/Deligne and Fouvry--Kowalski--Michel; the third consists of finitely many numerical integral and cap inequalities backed by a Python/FLINT certificate.
