2Authored explanation
The recorded argument proves chordal bipartiteness and outerplanarity for the support graph, uses face parity to establish Camion's divisibility condition, and concludes that every square minor is signed or zero. Its exact determinant-range consequence is now verified in Lean. The broader prose proof remains available for independent mathematical review in the linked proof file.
