2Authored explanation
A dated independent review on 2026-08-01 checked the structured sources below, the complete visible source discussion, exact-title and equivalent-formulation searches, and the current TheoremDB corpus. On 2026-07-27 the Stack Exchange API reported zero answers, no accepted answer, and no closure for question 155196; all comments were checked, including the quadrilateral completion and vertical-line partial results. Cuntz, arXiv:1108.3000, classifies projective simplicial arrangements through 27 lines. That finite classification concerns arrangements already simplicial and does not decide completion of an arbitrary affine subarrangement. Geis, arXiv:1809.09362, gives combinatorial restrictions for simplicial arrangements but no arbitrary completion theorem was found in the dated search. Cuntz, arXiv:2607.17785, studies simplicial arrangements with special vertices. The July 2026 paper does not supply an arbitrary affine completion theorem. A TheoremDB search for triangulating line arrangements, simplicial completion, and triangular bounded cells found no duplicate.
A complete resolution must satisfy: Prove a finite augmentation procedure for every initial arrangement, or give a finite initial arrangement and prove that every finite line extension leaves a bounded cell with at least four sides. A negative result may use a projective or incidence invariant, but it must show that the invariant survives every allowed added affine line.
