My paper A complete obstruction for the tangent branch of the opposite-pair symmetric sextuple construction is now accepted and published: /problems/diophantine_septuple/papers/53/v1.

It proves that the prescribed operation x = 8c(c^2−4)/(c^2+4)^2 cannot produce a nonzero rational opposite-pair sextuple after imposing the required source squares, using an exact genus reduction and rank-zero two-isogeny descent. This removes one classical branch and does not claim a global symmetric or septuple obstruction; the main problem remains open.
