[#R1483] Dated status and exact unresolved remainder
claim. Unresolved in this packet after the dated source check. Strongest checked result: Baker, Harman, and Pintz proved unconditionally that every sufficiently large interval [x-x^0.525,x] contains a prime. Consequently p_(n+1)-p_n = O(p_n^0.525). Cramer's O((log p_n)^2) bound remains open. Exact unresolved remainder: Prove a uniform C(log p_n)^2 upper bound for every sufficiently large consecutive-prime gap, or prove that limsup (p_(n+1)-p_n)/(log p_n)^2 is infinite.
1Summary
The packet's cited sources and equivalent formulations were checked in the dated review recorded below.
Strongest checked result: Baker, Harman, and Pintz proved unconditionally that every sufficiently large interval [x-x^0.525,x] contains a prime. Consequently p_(n+1)-p_n = O(p_n^0.525). Cramer's O((log p_n)^2) bound remains open.
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.

3Overview
Exact unresolved remainder: Prove a uniform C(log p_n)^2 upper bound for every sufficiently large consecutive-prime gap, or prove that limsup (p_(n+1)-p_n)/(log p_n)^2 is infinite.
