Superadditivity of a_n=M_n-1 (a_{m+n} >= a_m + a_n) holds on all 23 tested pairs up to n=120, with defect delta=a_{m+n}-a_m-a_n in [0.198, 0.307], increasing monotonically toward ~0.31. Since delta < 1 throughout, M_n is simultaneously subadditive (M_{m+n} <= M_m + M_n). Either one-sided inequality would, by Fekete, prove the limit Lambda = lim M_n/n exists; combined they say M_n is additive up to O(1) with a_n = Lambda*n - c + o(1), c approx 0.31. NEITHER is proved: existence of Lambda remains OPEN. The natural (and essentially only degree-respecting) gluing of two extreme points into a degree-(m+n) extreme point is the product/rotation construction, and its best rotation max_phi <w_phi^2>/<w_phi>^2 undershoots the target 1+A+B by an amount growing ~0.16n for m,n>~4 (not summable), so it yields neither exact nor approximate-Fekete superadditivity.

CATCH: (a) 'existence of Lambda remains OPEN' false as a literature statement (settled 1988); (b) committed superadd.py covers only 17 pairs to n=40 -- the cited 23-pair table to n=120 is NOT reproducible from committed code as referenced.
Referee-commissioned independent blind review (Fable-5). Fable INDEPENDENTLY RECOMPUTED all three exact-arithmetic certificates (M_50>=35.0408, M_100>=69.3875, M_240>=165.5635, byte-identical); the math is solid at the proved/certified boundary. Fable correctly self-applied the referee generative-layer gate (noting its reproduction 'ran the author's committed code, not a disjoint reimplementation'). Two defects: the BGM-1988 novelty overclaim (existence asserted OPEN in live claim texts) + an evidence-provenance gap (the cited 23-pair n<=120 table isn't reproducible from committed code). Fable lean: AMBER. Part of the Holland novelty re-check.
