[#R1798] Dated status and exact unresolved remainder

claim. Unresolved in this packet after the dated source check. Strongest checked result: The 2-to-2 Games Theorem gives NP-hardness at completeness about 1/2 and arbitrarily small soundness. A 2025 route toward 2-to-1 Games remains conditional. Exact unresolved remainder: Prove the near-1 versus near-0 NP-hardness gap for every epsilon, or refute it by an algorithm or complexity argument.
