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.
For n>1 the exponent gcd and a real beta table classify and witness all positive root degrees. The unit n=1 has a separate uniform certificate for every positive degree. Zero is excluded. NaturalSquarefreeDecomposition is deliberately distinct from the unrelated polynomial definition.

Every linked abbreviation expands hygienically to the identical original native formula.

Complete tactic proof in conservative notation
All 77 original proof lines are preserved. Only local proposition formulas are abbreviated; every abbreviation has an exact binder-safe expansion check. The linked exact edition contains the unchanged replay script.

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.
