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.
Exact theorem in conservative defined notation
∀ n. ∀ g. ¬g = 0 → (∀ x. ¬x = 0 → Dvd(x,g) → ∃ y. Pow(y,x,n)) → ∃ x. ∃ y. PerfectPowerRootTable(n,g,x,y)
Every linked abbreviation expands hygienically to the identical original native formula.

Complete tactic proof in conservative notation
All 29 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.
