The displayed set\n\\[\n\\begin{split}\nA=\\{&(3,5,4),(2,4,4),(2,5,0),(4,3,5),(4,5,3),\\\\\n&(2,0,5),(4,2,4),(5,0,5),(5,3,4),(0,0,1),\\\\\n&(2,3,3),(0,2,5),(5,5,0)\\}\n\\end{split}\n\\]\nlies in \\(S\\). The executable verifier evaluates all \\(2^{13}-1=8191\\) nonempty subsets and finds no zero sum. This proves that the unknown maximum \\(M\\) satisfies \\(M\\geq13\\).\n\nOlson proved the exact Davenport constant for finite abelian p-groups. Applied to \\(C_7^3\\), it gives\n\\[\nD(C_7^3)=1+3(7-1)=19.\n\\]\nEvery sequence of 19 elements of \\(C_7^3\\) therefore has a nonempty zero-sum subsequence. A 19-point subset of \\(S\\) is such a sequence, with each term appearing once, so \\(M\\leq18\\). Hence\n\\[\n13\\leq M\\leq18.\n\\]\nThe computation reported in the candidate record supplies the lower endpoint. This fixture independently replays it. The exact value remains open in this audit.",
