Claim in Erdős problems that formal-conjectures marks solved

A published paper or arXiv preprint answers the main question of Erdős Problem #1207 (theorem erdos_1207 in formal-conjectures) in full (proof, disproof, or the exact value asked for) with no hypotheses beyond the problem's own.

Problem as stated at github.com/google-deepmind/formal-conjectures/blob/34ee0e3c5fd52d202d62a71094a37970cb5fb870/FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/1207.lean. The claim text is written by Corroborate; that site has not reviewed or endorsed it.

The problem, as stated in formal-conjectures (Apache 2.0):

Let P_d(n) be such that in any set of n points in \mathbb{R}^d there exist at least P_d(n) many points which do not contain an isosceles triangle. Estimate P_d(n) - in particular, is it true that P_2(n)<n^{1-c} for some constant c>0? Lee, Pohoata, and Zhu [LPZ26] proved the stated planar bound. Their isosceles-free subsets also exclude degenerate triangles of equally spaced collinear points.
