2Authored explanation

The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.

The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: Many planar classes are proved; convex counterexamples now exist in sufficiently high dimension.

The exact unresolved remainder is: No convex planar counterexample or general proof was located.

A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Prove boundary attainment for every bounded convex planar domain, with a stated boundary regularity convention. - Or give a convex planar domain whose first Neumann eigenfunction has an interior global extremum.
