This resolves the algebraicity question posed by Kontsevich and recorded by Gross and Pandharipande, and its cluster-scattering formulation in the work of Burcroff, Lee, Mou, Musiker, and Reineke. \end{abstract} \begingroup \color{blue} \section*{AI use and scholarly credit} The main results and their proof were developed during a two-hour research conversation with ChatGPT-6-Pro. The research materials were subsequently subjected to an adversarial AI review in Codex. The manuscript also passed review by Rethlas-OSV~\cite{RethlasOSV}, using OSVerify~\cite{OSVerify}. By posting this manuscript on this platform, I do not seek to assert ownership of the results or claim priority. I welcome anyone interested in preparing a finished account or checking the arguments; the eventual scholarly credit should go to those who undertake that work. \par \endgroup \input{introduction} \input{proof} \input{comparisons} \input{coefficient} \begingroup\small \input{references} \endgroup \bigskip \begingroup\small \noindent\textsc{Zhili College, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China}\par \noindent\textit{Email address:}\enspace \mbox{\href{mailto:tangqy24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn}{\texttt{tangqy24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn}}}\par \endgroup \end{document}
