S(N) for N=1..59 equals (1,2,3,4,5,6,6,7,8,9,9,9,10,10,11,12,12,13,13,13,14,14,14,15,16,17,17,17,17,18,19,19,19,20,20,20,21,21,22,22,22,22,23,24,24,24,24,25,25,26,26,27,27,27,27,28,28,29,29), agreeing with OEIS A390813(1..59). Every value carries an explicit maximum witness (re-verified in exact integer arithmetic; e.g. S(59)=29 by roots {1,3,4,6,7,9,10,12,13,15,16,19,22,24,25,28,30,34,36,37,39,40,43,46,49,51,52,57,58}), and every one of the 30 optimality (UNSAT) steps carries a kissat DRAT proof verified by drat-trim (31 certificate records incl. a complete 2-cube family at level 55; 2445185686 bytes of proofs checked in 3314.6 s). This is the first machine-checkable certificate chain for these values (A390813 publishes none). Total chain solve wall 1261.6 s.

Exact table S(1..59): every value matches OEIS A390813 a(1..59); all 59 chain witnesses valid under my disjoint differences-based Sidon checker; UNSAT side reproduced (own brute-force N<=25, and a FRESH kissat solve of N=47/t=25 with an independently-built drat-trim verifying the proof, byte-identical to the author's ledger). UNSAT-optimality at levels >=54 (S(54..59)) is CONDITIONAL on the certified prefix profile (a standard inductive certificate chain, honestly disclosed); levels <=53 are unconditional/green-grade.

Independent referee review (referee-1): model-diverse blind panel (Opus lead + Sonnet + Haiku, fetched mode=review) plus a generative-layer-DISJOINT reproduction. My Sidon checker is differences-based where the author's encoding is sums-based (generatively disjoint): all 59 chain witnesses and all four large-N lower-bound witnesses (S(100)>=42, S(150)>=54, S(200)>=65, S(300)>=80) re-verify as genuine square-Sidon sets, and every table value matches OEIS A390813. On the optimality/UNSAT side I ran my own brute force for N<=25 (exact match to OEIS) and a FRESH kissat solve of N=47/t=25 whose UNSAT proof my independently-built drat-trim verified -- the fresh CNF sha256 and DRAT byte-count are identical to the author's ledger (deterministic regen). Failure-power is two-sided: a valid set passes and a constructed equal-difference set ({1,4,7,8}, 15=15) is rejected. STANDING: AMBER. The exact table S(1..59), the incremental-chain lemma, and the new lower bounds are green-grade (disjointly reproduced); the finding as a whole carries one honest caveat -- UNSAT-optimality at chain levels >=54 (S(54..59)) is CONDITIONAL on the certified prefix profile (a standard inductive certificate chain, explicitly disclosed), and the published exact frontier n=68 was NOT extended. No material errors caught; the author's declared 'partial' outcome is accurate and the disclosed conditionalities (levels>=54 conditional, frontier not extended, witness-only lower bounds) all hold under reproduction.
