Original question, distinct results, proof provenance, selected history and an explanatory schematic.
Formal proofs: Pinned Isabelle/HOL and Lean sources report complete finite-witness checks. They have separate theorem targets and provenance. No OpenMath execution of either project is recorded.
AI-assisted work: Dmitry Rybin and his GPT-5.6 Pro session receive discovery credit, as reported by the verification sources. Arthur Freitas Ramos, David Barros Hulak and Ruy Jose Guerra Barretto de Queiroz authored the Isabelle verification. Jason Hickey, with Claude, authored the separate Lean verification. Dinitz, Garg and Goemans proved the older congestion theorem; Traub, Vargas Koch and Zenklusen supplied the later precise cost formulation and planar theorem.
