[#R1083] Resolve the stated acceptance condition
1Summary
Prove that infinitely many prime exponents p give 2^p - 1 prime, or prove that only finitely many do.
Target the displayed statement directly. Prove that infinitely many prime exponents p give 2^p - 1 prime, or prove that only finitely many do. Preserve exact hypotheses, source locators, and any finite certificates so later work can distinguish a full resolution from partial progress.
Reported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
2Outcome
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
