Generated structural guide
Every four-square norm multiplied by any two-square norm has four explicitly constructed natural-square witnesses.
The unchanged tactic script uses 3 declared prerequisites and contains 22 exact native proof lines.

Formal native tactic body
Dependencies are introduced as named hypotheses before line 1. Local theorem links identify exact declared prerequisites. This dependency-curried candidate body does not grant checked theorem use or Stable membership.

Proof checkpoints
This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.
