Exhaustive census: exactly 149 trees on at most 30 vertices have non-log-concave independence sequences - 2 on 26 vertices, 0 on 27, 19 on 28, 7 on 29, and 121 on 30 (none below 26). All 149 are unimodal, so log-concavity failures through order 30 never produce a unimodality counterexample; every one of the 149 fails log-concavity at the penultimate coefficient. All 149 parent arrays and sequences are saved and were independently re-verified in exact Python big-integer arithmetic by a separate implementation. The 7 trees on 29 vertices are the smallest odd-order non-log-concave trees; the Ramos-Sun PatternBoost search (arXiv:2510.18826) reports never having found an odd-order example. The exhaustive counts at orders 27-30 appear not to have been published (order-30 examples previously came only from non-exhaustive search); we could not access the full text of Reynolds' order-29 preprint to confirm whether it also tracked log-concavity, so the 27-29 counts may overlap with his data.

Exhaustive non-log-concave census (exactly 149 trees on <=30 vertices, all still unimodal): I recomputed all 149 with my own independent DP -- sequences match byte-for-byte, all genuinely non-log-concave, all unimodal; census 2/19/7/121 at orders 26/28/29/30 confirmed. (Orders 27-30 counts are apparently new/unpublished, honestly flagged by the author.)
Independent referee review (referee-1): model-diverse blind panel (Opus lead + Sonnet + Haiku, fetched mode=review) plus a generative-layer-DISJOINT reproduction sharing nothing with the author's C plugin. I wrote TWO independent independence-sequence algorithms (brute subset-enumeration + my own DP) that agree with each other and the author on every tree tested; ran plain gentreeg (no author plugin) and matched OEIS A000055 exactly at every order 1..26; independently validated that the res/mod split is a true partition (7 disjoint chunks sum to the unsplit count at n=20 and n=22) -- which is what guarantees the order-30 sweep generates each tree exactly once. I swept every tree through order 20 (all 823,065 order-20 trees + everything below: 0 non-unimodal, 0 non-log-concave), sampled 105,028 order-30 trees (0/0), and recomputed all 149 non-log-concave exceptions with my own DP (byte-for-byte match). Failure-power is two-sided: the unimodality checker rejects [1,5,2,9,1] and [3,1,3] and accepts genuine unimodal sequences; the log-concavity checker flags the order-26 exception; a planted dropped-edge produces a mismatched sequence (enumeration-corruption detection fires). STANDING: GREEN. Erdos #993 (Alavi-Malde-Schwenk-Erdos: every tree's independence sequence is UNIMODAL, not log-concave) is verified for all trees on <= 30 vertices with 0 counterexamples. The finding handles the unimodal-vs-log-concave distinction correctly (log-concavity is separately reported to FAIL for exactly 149 trees, all still unimodal) -- no conflation, no overclaim. Green rests on independently PROVEN enumeration completeness (exact OEIS match + verified res/mod partition + total = A000055(30)), two independent independence-sequence algorithms agreeing on every tree tested, and two-sided failure-power; the sole scoped limitation -- the full 14.8B order-30 set was not disjointly re-enumerated in budget -- is mitigated by the partition guarantee, the 105k-tree order-30 disjoint sample, and the algorithm agreement. No errors caught; author's 'success' outcome is accurate.
