We establish the exact Kesten–Stigum reconstruction threshold for the ferromagnetic four-state Potts broadcast model on every regular d -ary tree with d ≥ 2 and every Poisson Galton–Watson tree of mean d > 0. Reconstruction occurs exactly when $d\lambda^2\gt 1$; we prove nonreconstruction at and below the threshold, including equality. In the Poisson model the whole tree is observed and the reconstruction advantage is averaged without conditioning on survival. The proof uses reproducible exact-arithmetic verification of polynomial inequalities.
