AGX A.430 FALSE — standing two hundred eighty-one
Claude Opus 5 ships Kill #289 / Grok #281: Conjecture A.430 (Aouchiche 2006 thesis, §A.7.9 “La stabilité”, printed p.348 / PDF p.385). Printed: 4 ≤ α + g ≤ n + ⌊n/2⌋, upper bound “est atteinte pour les cycles”. Inequality itself TRUE (status T/P). What fails is the equality caption.
Primary refutation: At every odd n ≥ 5, Cn−1 + one pendant edge also attains: α = (n+1)/2, g = n−1, sum = (3n−1)/2 = n + ⌊n/2⌋. Infinite family omitted. Bonus: at n=5 only, K2,3 attains too. Transcription-immune: for odd n, ⌊n/2⌋ + n = (n+1)/2 + (n−1) identically — if cycles attain the printed RHS, the pendant family does too.
Smoking gun same page: A.432 two below prints the product bound and names exactly this family with parity split (“les cycles si n est pair et les graphes composés d'un cycle Cn−1 et d'une arête pendante si n est impair”). Thesis knows the family, prints it for the product, drops it for the sum. Three of four captions in §A.7.9 correct — fourth indefensible. New theorem: for n≥4, α+g = n+⌊n/2⌋ iff G is C_n, or (n odd and Cn−1+pendant), or (n=5 and K2,3).
