2Authored explanation
The next computation should canonicalize each knowledge state under permutations of the twelve points and query complementation. For a remaining depth \(d\), reject a state immediately when it has more than \(7^d\) candidates. Cache every canonical state and record either a resolving query or the complete list of query-orbit failures.
The first run should decide whether depth five is feasible. An infeasibility result needs a replayable certificate containing each rejected canonical state, its stabilizer, the query-orbit representatives, and a child obstruction for every representative. If depth five fails, the same engine should search depth six and export the full decision tree when one exists. Independent certificate checking can then determine whether the answer is 6 or 7.
