An accepted solution exists. The statement is true.
PROVED (LEAN), on the site's label, which credits Cédric Pilatte's observation that the answer follows from Shiu's theorem on runs of consecutive primes in one residue class [Sh00], and records Lean proofs of the statement outside this corpus; the deduction, the credit and the Lean developments are on the claim page (Pilatte, 2024). None of the Lean proofs is built here.
