1. Used the public reconstruction to obtain the recovered RTL/constraint structure, including the 11×11 region map and the fact that it is a two-stars-per-row/column/region, non-touching puzzle.
2. Then independently wrote and ran my own exhaustive solver against that recovered constraint system.
Looks like it did not actually solve it, but instead it just found an existing solution at https://github.com/NotCleo/GDS-to-RTL and verified parts of it?
I have no doubt that modern agents can solve challenges like this even without external help, but you should at least briefly look at the output before posting it online!

I gave the problem to chatGPT 5.6 Sol Pro and this was the result:

Edit: It didn't independently solve it.

Thanks for pushing back, I've edited my initial post. I misinterpreted the response, I thought that it only referenced the solution as verification.
