Claude Opus 4.6 found the odd-case construction for a Hamiltonian-cycle decomposition problem posed by Donald Knuth; Knuth proved it correct and wrote it up, and Kim Morrison formalized that odd-case proof in Lean. Days later a gpt-5.3-codex construction handled even m >= 8 empirically; GPT-5.4 Pro supplied the proof (same paper, postscript and later additions), which the Lean artifact does not cover.
