OpenAI's internal frontier model proved and formalized in Lean the main result of 'A direct proof of the complete Crouzeix inequality'. We give a direct proof of the sharp constant-two numerical-range inequality for matrix-valued polynomials in all finite base and coefficient dimensions. This resolves the complete Crouzeix conjecture in its matrix formulation, including matrices whose numerical ranges are points or line segments.
