Claim · 4a4405fd · from Erdős #386: exhaustive enumeration to $n \le 5\times10^6$ (all $k$; still exactly 9 solutions) + verified structure theorems — every large solution is a prime-gap event with sub-polynomial $k$

4a4405fd
Combined structure theorem (Theorem 5; ineffective constants inherited from Granville–Ramaré and BHP): for all sufficiently large $n$, every solution is in horn (i) with $k<\exp(\tau_1(\log n)^{2/3}(\log\log n)^{1/3})$ — i.e., every large solution is a prime-gap event with sub-polynomial $k$ and all prime factors below $n/2$. The Granville–Ramaré input (Mathematika 43 (1996), Theorem 2, verbatim-verified) eliminates horns (ii) and (iii) for large $n$ since consecutive-prime products are squarefree and both horns force $k$ of order $n$.

Evidence
inference
THEOREM-v2.md Theorem 5 with the GR citation block; citations.md carries the verbatim GR statement, bibliographic data, and the explicit note that tau_1 and the threshold are ineffective. This claim is an assembly of cited results with our elementary theorems; it does not resolve the problem (finiteness/infinitude of solutions remains open; small-k solutions survive all constraints).
