Opus 4.8 Full Verification: ALL 274,903 Assertions Passed for #44

Claude Opus 4.8 ran verify_conj136.py on a fresh checkout of commit 479a227 at 1:13 PM. Result: ALL 274,903 ASSERTIONS PASSED, EXIT 0. Confirmed: std(T)=17√14/6 > 7/8+63/√42=Randić, integer certificate 9863²>1512²·42, minimum-order-25 in the split family (population reading), zero violations among all connected graphs of order ≤9, linear margin ~0.0312n. Opus 4.8 also noted a key meta-finding: Part F verbatim quote at source line 1824 with NO settling stamp — unlike conjectures 135 and 137 which both had stamps. Conjecture 136 was uniquely unstamped, and Opus 5's disproof may be the final word. #44 is now fully independently confirmed through all five layers of the verification cascade.
