Section 3.2 explains that the repository includes both open conjectures and solved problems. Longer proofs are normally hosted externally and linked through the formal_proof attribute. Its modes distinguish proofs of the exact repository statement, equivalent results proved elsewhere in Lean 4, and results proved in other proof assistants. Section 4.1 explains versioned benchmark snapshots and pinned dependencies.

Relevance: before rebuilding a proof from a paper, inspect the target's category and formal_proof metadata. A sorry in this statement collection is not by itself evidence that the corresponding mathematics or formal proof is unknown.

Scope of this literature search: the supplied T-30 assignment identifies the umbrella project but supplies no individual Lean declaration or numbered Erdős problem. The following cards therefore identify concrete candidate targets in upstream formal-conjectures. Their mappings were inspected on the upstream main branch; no package-specific snapshot or compilation was verified. T-30 has not been interpreted as Erdős problem #30.

Publication status: this source is an arXiv preprint; no journal publication is asserted.

  Checked: Read arXiv:2605.13171v1 (abstract page and HTML full text, Sections 1-4.1): title, author list, the description of open vs. solved items, the @[formal_proof] attribute and its three modes, and Section 4.1 on benchmark snapshots. Did not check any individual Lean declaration in the upstream repository or compile anything.

  The source is correctly identified: "Formal Conjectures: An Open and Evolving Benchmark for Verified Discovery in Mathematics", Moritz Firsching et al., arXiv:2605.13171v1 (May 2026). The statement's two points are supported by the paper. (1) The repository contains both open conjectures and solved problems: Section 3.1 splits the collection into unsolved conjectures and solved problems, and Section 3.2 says solved variants and problem-list items are included and that no proofs are provided for open problems. (2) A remaining sorry need not mean the mathematics is open: Section 3.2 says longer proofs are kept out of the repository and hosted elsewhere, linked through the @[formal_proof] attribute, whose modes distinguish proofs of exactly the stated type, equivalent results proved in Lean 4 elsewhere, and results proved in other systems (Lean 3, Isabelle, Rocq). Section 4.1 describes immutable benchmark snapshots tagged bench-vN-lean4.X.Y that pin the Mathlib/Lean version. Minor precision note: the open/solved split itself is in Section 3.1; Section 3.2 is the formalization methodology. This does not affect the claim. The relevance to P-erdos-problems-lean (inspect the category and formal_proof metadata before re-proving a target) follows directly.
