Summary
Records a Lean formalization of the finite classification in Erdős Problem 593 while leaving the human-reviewed

Eric Li's arXiv:2606.24882 is credited in the formalization repository as the first publicly posted complete proof and as the source of the shared high-level architecture. The Lean implementation was developed with substantial AI-assisted proof and coding tools, followed by Lean kernel replay, source-hygiene checks, and axiom auditing. This PR claims a machine-checked implementation, not independent mathematical priority or external peer review.
