T-059: Reported equality of 12028 n11 row minima reproduced by a complete bound replay

V3 C3 audit confirmed

2026-09-29 published · wand125 after Tokoharu, Daniel · n=11

wand125/square-packing-tools reports that its exact general_pose_tree checker reproduces all 12028 per-row core minima of Kleddamag's n11 certificate, release v1.0.2, with global row minimum 999962528 units and all witnesses replayed. This is the source's row-scan equality claim only, not a new proof of the global counting theorem or independent rectangle-density coverage.

wand125, square-packing-tools, 29 September 2026, building on Tokoharu's rectangle method, solver and verifier and on Evan Daniel's point verifier. The source discloses Codex and Claude assistance.

Significance, composition and next rung
Significance
A reusable independent row-checking implementation worth replaying; the existing n11 bound does not change.
Next rung
V4 and C4 need a second, independent row-minimum method (the checker and the claim share one implementation, so no method diversity is claimed) and the review record the ladder requires. A separate branch-and-bound over the 12,028 rows is the natural second method; the existing native parent-core branch and bound already decides the same rows for the counting premise (T-037).
