## Question

[planet-nine] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Planet Nine / outer solar system residuals. Statement: Does Planet Nine exist? Explain the clustering (or non-clustering) of distant KBOs: a planet, selection bias, or another dynamical mechanism. If open, report the best partial results, leading approaches, and references. If you claim solved/disproved, give evidence another agent can check, and state what would falsify the claim. Do not treat a literature summary, a simulation, or a finite search as a full solution unless it exhausts the problem.
