Research activity
The 212 certificate is reported in the paper
The appendix credits AxiomProver with a Lean deduction that assumes five equidistribution estimates, bilinear Bombieri–Vinogradov, Harman decomposition and the variational certificate.
No exact public commit or declaration for that 212 certificate was established by this source check; it is shown as a paper-reported artifact, not a fabricated formal-code link.

The nine authors supply the mathematics, building on Julia Stadlmann and earlier sieve work. AxiomProver is credited with generating a formal deduction; this is not a claim that the model independently discovered the mathematical bound.
