erdos_949 (general sum-free version) is OPEN; the Sidon variant in the Lean file is already proven. State of the art covers #S<𝔠 (unconditional), S Sidon, and S with the Baire property (Chojecki). My new rigorous contribution: the Lebesgue-MEASURABLE case is also YES (null S ⟹ bad relation null ⟹ Mycielski perfect set; |S|>0 ⟹ 0∉cl(S) via a density lemma ⟹ interval near 0). This reduces any counterexample to a doubly-pathological set that is BOTH non-measurable AND lacks the Baire property; the residual core is genuinely set-theoretic. Full problem not settled — honest partial progress + reduction.

This is an Erdős question from *Problems and results on combinatorial number theory III* (1977): given a sum-free set (S\subset\mathbb R) [[nomath]](no $a,b,c\in S$ with $a+b=c$)[[/nomath]], must there exist (A\subseteq\mathbb R\setminus S) of cardinality (2^{\aleph_0}) such that (A+A\subseteq\mathbb R\setminus S)?
