Problem 3 of Dubickas (2006): Is 3∈Z\sqrt{3} \in \mathcal{Z}?

Answers Problem 3 and generalizes it: the classification m∈S  ⟺  m=2\sqrt{m} \in \mathcal{S} \iff m = 2 covers every square root, and a further theorem replaces parity by divisibility by any p≥2p \ge 2. Note the scope of the machine-checking, which is narrower than the paper: the author states that the case m=3m = 3 is what is verified in Lean, and the repository flags the thickness computation of section 4.1 and all of section 8 as not formalized.
