[#R1719] Strongest checked neighboring result

claim. Floer, Casson, hyperbolic, and computational methods settle broad knot classes, including all knots through substantial crossing ranges.

1Summary

This leaves the following boundary unresolved: The universal statement for nontrivial knots in S³ remains open. 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.
