Title: Rigidity of Smooth Billiards with a Continuous Caustic Collar.

Abstract: We prove that a smooth strictly convex planar billiard with positive curvature is an ellipse whenever a full neighborhood of its boundary is continuously foliated by smooth closed convex caustics. No differentiability across the leaves is assumed. This resolves the near-boundary Birkhoff conjecture in the stated smooth class.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
