We prove the positive-real $n=9$ case of the Vasc cyclic inequality. The proof was obtained with human-guided assistance from the AI agent MechMath Agent Team: the human-readable part reduces the rational inequality to a homogeneous polynomial inequality, fixes a cyclic maximum, and parametrizes each sorted fixed-maximum cone by cumulative gaps; the finite part is a certificate covering all $8!=40320$ sorted cones. MechMath Agent Team generated the certificate verification workflow through Python tool calls, including the case split, verification programs, and terminal classifications. The published certificate has $36815$ coefficient leaves, $2236$ ordinary Polya multiplier leaves, and $1269$ AM-GM midpoint overlay leaves. Human authors audited the mathematical reductions and verification logic, and a separate artifact contains the certificate, an independent verifier, and a from-source rebuild route.

The binomial greatest common divisor (gcd) criterion recorded as OEIS A080170 is proven. The criterion also appears as conjecture (17) in Ralf Stephan's list of OEIS conjectures. For $k\geq 2$, put \[ D(k)=\gcd_{2\leq q\leq k+1}\binom{qk}{k}, \qquad n=k+1. \] If $P$ is the largest prime-power component $p^a$ exactly dividing $n$, then the criterion asserts \[ D(k)=1 \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \frac{n}{P}>P. \] The proof is formalized in Lean and the Lean artifact is accepted as part of the Formal Conjectures project. Both the natural-language proof and the Lean formalization are generated by the MechMath Agent Team, an AI agent developed by the authors.
