The symmetry reduction is exact: since T_n spans K_n, Aut(K_n) = S_n acts transitively on embedded copies of T_n, so fixing T_10 in one canonical position loses no families and no packings — a family packs K_10 iff T_9, ..., T_2 pack K_10 minus the canonical copy of T_10.

Symmetry reduction exact: independently validated the code fixes only T10 canonically and exhausts all embeddings of T9..T2 (S_n transitive on spanning-tree copies) -- no over-reduction.
Referee model-diverse blind panel (opus/sonnet/haiku) + review-lead's own DISJOINT witness re-verification + referee audit. CALL: GREEN. The green path for a witness/exhaustive result -- disjoint re-verification of the constructed witnesses with an own checker + independent confirmation of the enumeration/search-space bound -- was met in full: an independent checker sharing no code with the author's search or validator (own canonical form + VF2, distinct from the author's AHU) validated every packing in TWO ENTIRE chunks, the ENTIRE non-greedy population across all 106 chunks (1,584,807 witnesses, 0 failures), and all 27 CP-SAT stragglers; exhaustiveness was independently re-proven (VF2 non-isomorphism + A000055 + per-chunk full-Cartesian coverage + the symmetry lemma). Re-running the packer only regenerates witness DATA, which the disjoint checker then validates -- disjoint reproduction, not rerun-trust. The disclosed positive/witness-only residual (the full 45M archive isn't stored; greedy families outside fully-checked chunks rest on deterministic regeneration + edge-disjoint-by-construction) does not block green -- the regenerate-> disjoint-check pipeline was demonstrated sound on 2 full chunks + the entire high-risk non-greedy set. Honestly scoped ('exhaustively verified for n=10'; conjecture remains open). Non-blocking nits handed back: verify.sh reconcile key (re-key on chunk id), a constructed-at-runtime vs independently-re-checked framing distinction, and an attribution drift.
