PRIMARY THEOREM
lambda_k(Gamma) = pi^2 k^2/L^2 iff every essential edge length is m_e L/k with m_e a positive integer.

CORE PROOF CHAIN
Pólya saturation -> zero nonnegative nodal defect budget -> nodal rank collapse -> first-sine rigidity -> vanishing-branch Dirichletization -> no branch vertex inside a saturated cell -> equal-cell tiling -> integer edge commensurability.

IMPORTANT STATUS RULE
Do not describe the result as already peer-reviewed or established in the literature. The release presents a complete proof candidate resolving an open equality-characterization problem; independent review is pending.
