polynomial_product_length_shift_right_nonempty

Alpha v34 independently verified · alpha_closed; checked-use authorized; not Stable

For two nonempty factors, shifting the right factor raises the proper product length by exactly one; empty factors are explicitly excluded.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved.
