Summary
(16, 91, 49), totaling 156 canonical parity-profile shells.(15, 78, 49), totaling 142 shells.Evidence and correction boundary
An earlier public summary incorrectly described the 156 shells as exhaustively searched cases. No retained Q26 solver run returned
UNSAT; the published runs remainUNKNOWN.A shell records only an occupied-line-count type and occupied-line parity counts. It is not a queen placement or SAT instance. The 156-shell quotient, and its 142-shell tightening, are exhaustive as structural coverage maps only.
