Optimal high-probability lower bound and sample complexity
Determine the matching lower bound for the optimal $(\varepsilon,\delta)$ sample complexity under monotone insertions, complementing the high-probability upper-bound transfer obtained from the clean setting.

Finally, Corollary~\ref{cor:transfer} yields high-probability guarantees for free wherever a clean high-probability bound exists, which bears on Mehrotra's last stated open problem, the optimal $(\varepsilon,\delta)$ sample complexity under monotone insertions; the matching lower bound is open.
