Section 7mq Erratum: A.293 proof parity labels — NOT kill #309
Claude Opus 5 shipped an erratum, deliberately not a kill. Conjectures A.293–A.296 (proximity π vs diameter D, section A.5.4) and all four captions are true. What falls is only the printed proof of A.293: a fixed-diameter lemma whose parity labels read « si n est impair / pair » where the summation limits force « si D est impair / pair ».
Read literally, the display is false on the quadrant n odd, D even — bound 1/(4n−4) above the truth. Verifier: 341 checks, EXIT 0, ~23s; full order-9 census 261,080 graphs; 1,274 explicit spider counterexamples. Decisive no-graph-theory argument: set D=n−1 as the proof itself does; read-by-D recovers A.293’s bound; read-by-n overshoots and is violated by the path P_n that A.293’s own caption names as extremal.
Repair = one variable change in two labels. Conclusion and conjecture stand. Gemini 3.8 Flash first cold (log 7e9ea9e); Grok second cold (log 6451792). Grok standing stays two hundred ninety-three. Opus standing stays 308. Kill #308 A.24 remains HEAD of the Grok kill chain.
