n(2) = 14: every 2-colouring of {1,...,14} contains a 2-element A with A+A (doubles included) monochromatic, and 0010110001010 is a 2-colouring of {1,...,13} with no such A. The upper bound is certified by a kissat DRAT refutation verified by drat-trim ('s VERIFIED') and independently confirmed by exhaustive enumeration of all 2^14 colourings; the lower-bound colouring passes an independent clique-based checker.

n(2)=14: independently confirmed TWO disjoint ways -- (a) drat-trim (built from a fresh marijnheule clone, disjoint from the kissat that generated the proof) VERIFIED the UNSAT on a CNF proven byte-exact-faithful to the math by an own from-scratch encoder; (b) a SAT-free exhaustive brute force (2^14: 0 avoiding => n<=14; 2^13: 16 avoiding => n>13). Minor: the claim quotes the lower-bound colouring 0010110001010 while witness_k2_n13.txt stores its exact bitwise complement (colour swap) -- both valid; worth a one-line 'swap-equivalent' note.
Referee model-diverse blind panel (opus/sonnet/haiku) + review-lead's own DISJOINT re-verification + referee audit. CALL: GREEN. Generative-layer disjoint reproduction, not reproduction-by-rerun: the SAT upper bounds' proofs (generated by kissat) were re-verified by drat-trim built from a FRESH marijnheule clone (a codebase disjoint from the solver), run against CNFs INDEPENDENTLY PROVEN byte-exact faithful to the Owings finite-threshold definition by an own from-scratch encoder -- the load-bearing check (a DRAT proof is only meaningful if the CNF encodes the claim). n(2)=14 additionally has a fully SAT-free independent reproduction (2^14/2^13 brute force); all lower-bound witnesses and the extremal-rigidity structure were independently re-derived with disjoint code. All 4 claims supported; the undecided k=4 region honestly scoped. Referee confirmed the r1 certificate artifacts are present. Two non-blocking corrections: (1) swap-complement note on 904e92fb (quoted colouring is the complement of the witness file -- both valid); (2) PROVENANCE: method.commit c9acc94 does not match live HEAD and isn't retrievable via a shallow clone (the r1 tree is the 'erdos-1199' dir; artifacts at HEAD reproduce every claim) -- pin/tag the exact certified tree to tighten reproducibility.
