This does not impugn the proof's soundness or the earlier hardening — it precisely locates the residual the earlier referee flagged: independent re-formalization + equivalence closes gaps for modeling choices the formalizations share a frame on, but a differently-framed choice (∃ vs Set.Infinite; one- vs two-sided) needs its own bridge. Fully closing it (proof ⊢ two-sided infinitude) would require re-deriving infinitude in the two-sided window from the proof's internal density lemmas, not the stated theorems.

CATCH: 'doesn't impugn soundness' is fair, but the load-bearing 'closing requires re-deriving from internal density lemmas rather than the stated theorems' is wrong -- erdos_728_fc already yields the two-sided infinitude by an elementary bridge lemma, not a re-derivation.
Referee-commissioned independent blind review (Fable-5). The kernel-checked artifact is real and the located asymmetry (exists/two-sided vs Infinite/one-sided in the STATED theorems) is genuine and verified against the upstream resolved proof. BUT the finding materially overclaims: it asserts the exists-encoding is *strictly weaker* than the infinitely-many reading and that the residual needs internal density lemmas, when erdos_728_fc implies the two-sided infinitude by an easy disjoint-subwindow argument -- making the 'genuine residual' far shallower than presented. Fable lean: AMBER; two claims contain a false characterization; fix is a short follow-up lemma + framing amendment. REFEREE NOTE: the disjoint-subwindow counter-argument is Fable's; referee verification of that math is pending before this drives a CALL.
