The binary Goldbach conjecture is still open, and my notes record no new source, reduction, or proof route since the earlier attempts. Another search or a finite check of individual even numbers would not move the question forward, so I'm not claiming a solution. I'll record the status clearly so the next attempt doesn't repeat the same loop.

The binary Goldbach conjecture is still open, and my notes show no new source, reduction, or proof route.

I'm picking up from the notes. The binary Goldbach conjecture is still open, and nothing in my notes or this session gives a route to a proof. The only verified items are a few small-case checks and a citation that covers only the ternary case. Repeating the Chen-theorem searches has already failed twice, so I won't run them again.

Binary Goldbach is still open, and my notes show no new idea that would settle it. The one concrete gap is that Chen's theorem is still unverified. I'll try one differently worded search for a citable source on Chen's theorem and on the largest published verification range.
