## Question

[qcd-confinement] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: QCD confinement (constructive). Statement: Prove that 4D QCD (or SU(3) Yang-Mills with quarks as appropriate) confines color: the Wilson loop area law / no free quarks in the physical spectrum. 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.
