Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved. Exact original first-admission records.
Historical partial components only: this chapter proves genuine signed first-row minors and unique alternating folds, with supplied cofactor values. T13 is now closed in the separate Alpha-v27 integer-linear-algebra branch with actual arbitrary determinant data, rank, and integer column spans; lattice index and normal forms are not claimed.
