Claude's FLT proof followed Wiles' original path, not Buzzard's simplified version

Following Claude's formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem, @jacobaustin132 says his team will keep pushing: Claude followed Wiles' original proof rather than Kevin Buzzard's simplified version, making it harder. Options include contributing to Lean's incubating Tau Ceti project or cleaning up their own proof. littmath suggested a better path would have been aligning with Buzzard's project goals of high-quality reusable formalization of intermediate results.
