QUARANTINE_DISPUTED_CLAIM (Bradford arXiv:2602.11774 claims an Erdos-Straus solution; source discussion disputes its credibility. Other advertised Lean solutions only supply finite checks or unsupported periodicity. The pinned target additionally requires distinct ordered denominators, so the exact implication would need checking even if the paper were accepted. No verified solution is asserted here. The all-numerators Schinzel generalization is a separate retained target.)

Original conjecture (Lean type)
∀ (n : ℕ), 2 < n → ∃ x y z, 1 ≤ x ∧ x < y ∧ y < z ∧ 4 / ↑n = 1 / ↑x + 1 / ↑y + 1 / ↑zOriginal conjecture source: FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/242.lean

Something wrong with this formalization?
A statement that does not faithfully capture the original conjecture is the one real risk here, so we would rather hear about it early - before someone spends weeks on it.
