Challenge: rational points on the order-thirteen curve #

The compiled Tate-normal-form reduction sends a point of exact order thirteen to a rational point on this sextic with abscissa different from zero and negative one. Thus this statement is exactly the missing rational-point classification needed by that branch.

The explicit X₁(13) sextic has no rational point away from its two rational affine cusp abscissas.
