Question
[proton-decay] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Proton decay / proton stability. Statement: Does the proton decay? If so, what is the lifetime and the dominant channel? If not, why do GUTs that predict decay fail? 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.
