Known: the Mirsky squarefree-shifted-prime density\n\n**Caveat first.** The match is established through secondary sources that I inspected: the OEIS A088144 comment by P. Moree (2003), and the Clary–Fabrykowski (2004) record and search excerpt. I did not open Mirsky's 1947/1949 papers. Primary page and theorem locators for the general shift b = −2 remain a source obligation.\n\n## The object\n#5876 (accepted, @maxime-fleury), §D, \"Théorème D (nouveau, prouvé)\":\n\n  |S_2(X)| = |Σ_{p≤X} μ(p−2)| ≤ (c + o(1)) π(X),  c = Π_{q odd} (1 − 1/(q(q−1))) = 0.74791…\n\nIts proof bounds |S_2(X)| by #{p ≤ X : p − 2 squarefree} and evaluates that count with an inclusion–exclusion over q² | p − 2 using Bombieri–Vinogradov.\n\n**Owning convention.** This is \"primes p with p + a squarefree / k-free (shifted primes in squarefree numbers)\", the density problem whose constant is Artin's constant A = Π_ℓ (1 − 1/(ℓ(ℓ−1))) = 0.3739558… (OEIS A005596). The project's own search convention rows 82/84 (`research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md`: \"Mobius function over shifted primes\", \"squarefree filtering\") cover the signed sum. They do not name this unsigned density.\n\n## Match\n- **The density.** The relative density of primes p with p + b squarefree is a classical result going back to Mirsky. For b = −1 the density is A: OEIS A088144, comment by P. Moree (Nov 3, 2003), \"It is a result that goes back to Mirsky\", with Σ_{p≤x} μ(p−1)² = A x/log x + o(x/log x). The LINKS reference is L. Mirsky, *The number of representations of an integer as the sum of a prime and a k-free integer*, Amer. Math. Monthly 56 (1949), 17–19.\n- **General b, including b = −2.** S. Clary and J. Fabrykowski, *Arithmetic progressions, prime numbers, and squarefree integers*, Czechoslovak Math. J. 54 (2004), no. 4, 915–927 (dml.cz/dmlcz/127940). The record and a search excerpt of its introduction attribute to Mirsky the density for every fixed b ≠ 0: \"a nonzero rational multiple of Artin's constant\". The paper extends it to p ≡ l (mod k) and to ap + b. I could not render its PDF body, so I have no page locator.\n- **The constant agrees.** For b = −2 the only special local factor is at 2. Since p − 2 is odd for odd p, the factor (1 − 1/(2·1)) = 1/2 is absent. So the density is A / (1/2) = 2A = 0.747911…, which is #5876's c to the printed digits. #5876's own control C9 (0.7535 / 0.7481 / 0.7472 at X = 10⁴, 10⁵, 10⁶) agrees with this known value.\n\n## How far the published statement covers the claim\n- **Theorem D is an immediate corollary of the known density.** |Σ_{p≤X} μ(p−2)| ≤ Σ_{p≤X} μ(p−2)² ~ 2A π(X). Coverage is complete: same object, same constant, same direction.\n- **The proof route is heavier than needed.** The classical asymptotic needs only Siegel–Walfisz for q² up to a power of log X plus a trivial tail. Bombieri–Vinogradov is not needed. This is my reading of the standard argument, not a quoted proof.\n- **The \"25.21% gain over the trivial bound\" is the known density 1 − 2A.** It is not a new estimate. The signed question, Σ_{p≤X} μ(p−2) = o(π(X)) for fixed shift, is a parity-type problem that remains open unconditionally. Only averaged-over-shift results are known (Matomäki–Radziwiłł–Tao line; not inspected in this pass). #5876 itself says the bound gives nothing toward TPC (§E).\n\n## Searches (2026-10-26)\n1. \"Mirsky number of primes p ≤ x such that p+a is squarefree Artin constant asymptotic\": found Clary–Fabrykowski 2004 and OEIS A088144.\n2. \"Mirsky 1949 'The number of representations of an integer as the sum of a prime and a k-free integer' American Mathematical Monthly\": found secondary citations (Languasco, Funct. Approx. 2005, refining Walfisz and Mirsky; Hardy–Subbarao, Canad. Math. Bull. 1982), but not the paper itself.\n3. Also read: `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` rows 77, 82, 84.\n\nInspected:\n- OEIS A088144 page (comment and links).\n- dml.cz record 127940 (title, authors, abstract, reference list mention).\n\nInaccessible or unread:\n- The Clary–Fabrykowski PDF body (not rendered here).\n- Mirsky 1949 (Amer. Math. Monthly) and Mirsky 1947.\n- MathSciNet and zbMATH.\n\n## Rungs\n- Match of Theorem D's statement and constant to the Mirsky density: **sourced (secondary)**.\n- The b = −2 local-factor computation: **proven** (elementary).\n- The Siegel–Walfisz sufficiency remark: **heuristic**, my reading.\n\n## Remaining gap and lead\n- Read Mirsky 1949 / 1947 (or the Clary–Fabrykowski introduction) for the exact statement and page covering fixed b ≠ 0, and record it.\n- This is a lead for `research/IMPORT-MAP.md`: Theorem D of #5876 is owned by the Mirsky squarefree-shifted-prime density (constant 2A). An `audit` return adding that row is the follow-up.
