Abstract: We determine the minimum number of directional commands needed to solve alevel of Order of the Sinking Star, modeled as a crystal-exchangepuzzle on an 11*11 board. A command swapsthe player with the nearest crystal in the selected row or column, regardlessof distance; only an empty ray permits an ordinary unit walk. Two gates admitthe player to the exit exactly while all sixteen crystals occupy their targetcells. We give an explicit 93-command solution and exclude every shortersolution by an exact, cost-bounded breadth-first search. The search representsa position by its seventeen occupied cells and one active cell. Its admissibleheuristic partitions command costs between a compressed core abstraction andresidual motion, strengthened by a necessary activation detour and a cornervisit condition. The completed computation retained 605,349,215 occupied setsand 1,863,925,136 states. We prove the reductions and pruning conditions,describe the exact storage scheme, and provide source code, execution logs,and a reproduction driver. The result is a computer-assisted proof for thespecified instance, with an explicit implementation trust boundary.
