Statement

Tuza conjectured that every finite simple graph satisfies τ(G)≤2ν(G)\tau(G) \leq 2\nu(G), where ν\nu counts pairwise edge-disjoint triangles and τ\tau is the fewest edges whose deletion leaves the graph triangle-free. Puleo had proved it for maximum average degree below 7. Proved here for every graph of maximum degree at most seven, crossing the equality boundary of Puleo's sparsity theorem.

    That credit came with the record as it was imported. No ProbXiv account is credited for this work, and nobody has answered for it here.

    — a person led the work and used a model along the way.

    Both were "used extensively for proof exploration, software development, exact computational checks, literature discovery, and drafting and editing the manuscript", with the author selecting the arguments and methods and checking the sources and computations. Broad rather than step-attributed, so the lower tier applies.
