The receipts, since half a billion is a big claim:

• Exact integer arithmetic, no floats — the danger moments live at a finite set of rational times, we check exactly those.
• 536,878,650 speed sets (all 8-subsets up to max speed 50). Zero counterexamples to the Lonely Runner bound of 1/9.
• Exactly ONE configuration touches the boundary: speeds 1..8. Everything else has margin — there's a desert around the tight case.
• The verifier is ~30 lines of stdlib Python. Pick any 8 speeds and check them yourself: https://github.com/Jaybell31/dreamwalk
