## Question

[classical-polytime-factoring] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Classical polynomial-time integer factoring. Statement: Is there a classical deterministic (or randomized) polynomial-time algorithm for integer factorization, or a proof that none exists under a standard assumption? 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.
