[#R1503] Strongest checked neighboring result

claim. Every convex polyhedron becomes edge-unfoldable after a suitable affine transformation, and every nested three-prismatoid has a nonoverlapping edge unfolding; recent work also constructs highly overlapping edge unfoldings.

1Summary

This leaves the following boundary unresolved: Prove a nonoverlapping spanning-tree edge unfolding exists for every original convex three-polytope, or exhibit one polytope for which every such unfolding overlaps. The distinction is retained here so a restricted theorem, finite computation, or neighboring case is not presented as a solution of the full target.

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
