2Authored explanation

For \(\zeta=e^{2\pi i/101}\), the nonzero Laplacian eigenvalues are \[ \lambda_k=10-\sum_{s\in S}(\zeta^{ks}+\zeta^{-ks}), \qquad 1\leq k\leq100. \] Kirchhoff's theorem gives \[ \tau(G_S)=\frac1{101}\prod_{k=1}^{100}\lambda_k. \] Since \(\lambda_{101-k}=\lambda_k\), it suffices to multiply the first 50 values and square.

The executable replay performs the same calculation in six prime fields. Each modulus is congruent to 1 modulo 101 and comes with an explicit element of order 101. It reconstructs \(\tau(G_S)\) by the Chinese remainder theorem. The combined modulus has 366 bits and exceeds \(10^{110}\). The arithmetic-geometric mean inequality applied to the 100 nonzero Laplacian eigenvalues gives \[ \tau(G_S)\leq\frac{10.1^{100}}{101}<10^{99}. \] The reconstructed residue is therefore the unique integer tree count for every orbit representative. This exact comparison avoids any ordering decision based on floating-point logarithms.
