A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization project for the connected size-Ramsey equality rhat_c(4K2, C4) = 17. The intended proof uses a universal C4 vertex-transversal bound 4 tau_4(G) <= |E(G)|, a classification of the connected equality cases through sixteen edges (C4, the 4-wheel, K_{3,3} minus an edge, the octahedron), an avoiding-colouring construction from a three-vertex transversal, and an explicit twelve-vertex, seventeen-edge host. Proofs are complete as of commit c8d54e2 (2026-10-17); the proof certificate is Solution.lean and its dependency closure. Formal adversary pass 1 and reviewer…
