+# The complete weak-to-classical almost-Schur assembly
+
+The local jet theorem is now connected to the actual Riemannian volume.  A
+chart restriction is mapped to a positive metric-density measure, hence is
+absolutely continuous with respect to Euclidean volume.  Nested compact balls
+and a smooth plateau then produce a smooth representative on a neighborhood of
+each point; a countable Lindelöf subcover glues these representatives.
+
+The intermediate assembly takes smooth coordinate forcing explicitly.
+`smooth_coordinate_forcing` below derives that regularity from the smooth
+metric and scalar-curvature regularity theorem. Consequently
+`almostSchur_bound_complete` has no additional forcing-regularity hypothesis.

+# The finite-order elliptic bootstrap
+
+This file supplies the missing analytic mechanism behind the finite-order
+Poisson regularity endpoint.  The forcing created by differentiating a
+divergence equation is represented as a small differential algebra of smooth
+coefficient expressions and weak jet fields.  This keeps the forcing's weak
+derivatives explicit, so that the difference-quotient estimate can be iterated
+without assuming any quotient bounds.
+
+The geometric assembly is deliberately left to a later file.  In particular,
+all statements here are local Euclidean statements with the actual graph and
+quotient estimates as inputs.

+# Arbitrary finite-order weak Poisson jets
+
+This is the elliptic induction missing from `WeakPoissonAllOrderJets`.  The
+successor is built from the actual local H² quotient estimate: coefficient
+quotients come from smoothness on a convex compact set, the graph is built
+from the current weak jet, and nested compact cutoffs keep every test inside
+the preceding interior.  In particular, no difference-quotient bound for a
+jet field is an input.

+# Contracted second Bianchi identity
+
+This file packages the covariant derivative of the curvature tensor at a point and contracts the
+second Bianchi identity twice.  The derivative is written using the same corrected raw
+commutator as `Bianchi.lean`; the correction terms are the covariant derivatives of all three
+curvature arguments, so this is not an assumption of the contracted identity.
+
+This file currently proves the cyclic identity for that corrected derivative.  The contraction
+and the identification of the resulting traces with geometric Ricci and Einstein divergence
+require additional results; they are not established in this file.

+# Contraction of the actual connection curvature derivative
+
+This bridge uses the corrected curvature derivative of a connection. The cyclic second Bianchi
+equation follows from torsion-freeness. The proof derives both derivative skew symmetries and
+pair interchange from the connection and its metric compatibility. It then performs the double
+contraction. Identifying the resulting sums separately with differentials of the Ricci/scalar
+fields, or with the divergence of an Einstein tensor field, is outside this file's scope.

+# Tensorial curvature
+
+This file packages the raw curvature commutator into a fibrewise multilinear map
+by evaluating it on canonical smooth extensions of fibre vectors.
+
+The smooth extensions are built from `extend` sections multiplied by a fixed
+smooth bump function chosen inside the base set of `trivializationAt`. This
+keeps the construction linear in the fibre input while ensuring the sections are
+globally smooth enough for repeated covariant differentiation.

+# Independent geometric vocabulary for almost-Schur
+
+Only Mathlib is imported. Curvature is the actual covariant-derivative
+commutator, evaluated on smooth extensions and contracted in orthonormal
+frames. Volume is specified by the square root of the metric Gram determinant
+in charts. No Poisson, Bianchi, Bochner, or almost-Schur identity is an input.
+
+The smooth-extension construction adapts the attributed curvature core at

+/-! # Smooth representatives give genuine localized weak-jet graphs
+
+This file isolates a useful endpoint of the local weak-jet analysis.  If the
+localized zeroth field already has a smooth representative, its weak first
+derivatives are identified almost everywhere with the corresponding classical
+derivatives by test-function uniqueness.  The resulting pair is therefore a
+genuine compactly supported `C¹` test graph, not merely an element supplied by
+an abstract density assumption.
+
+No elliptic regularity is proved here: the smooth representative remains an
+input to the bridge.

+The measure is the constructed `riemannianVolume`, the energy is the actual

+the intrinsic gradient. Zero energy gives constancy by the proved differential
+kernel theorem. Mean-zero normalization removes the constant because the total

+/-! # Quantitative weighted Fourier embedding endpoint
+
+The weight is `(1 + ‖ξ‖)^s`. The dimension threshold is the strict inequality
+`finrank ℝ E < 2 * (s - k)`. Weighted L² control implies integrable Fourier
+moments, with an explicit Cauchy--Schwarz bound, and hence a classical C^k
+inverse Fourier transform. These are analytic frequency-space hypotheses,
+not a regularity premise. A local weak jet still needs a proved localization
+and weak-derivative/Fourier identification before this endpoint applies.

+/-! # The precise remaining estimate for all-order weak Poisson jets
+
+This module is conditional. It does NOT establish all-order elliptic regularity.
+The missing estimate must construct suitable whole-space lifts of the top
+derivatives and bound their actual difference quotients. Merely retaining
+arbitrary lifts is not sufficient: the local identities do not control their
+behavior outside the coordinate set. The replacement jet below may therefore
+change the lifts, while preserving the represented solution locally.
+
+The actual order-two solution jet supplies the base case. The proved gain
+criterion then supplies the induction step once that estimate is discharged.
+No classical regularity of the solution is used.

+# Integrated coordinate second variation
+
+This module packages one endpoint-spliced coordinate variation piece and
+proves its exact integrated second-variation formula.  Compact-rectangle
+domination justifies both differentiations under the integral; the
+pointwise coordinate commutator supplies the actual curvature tensor; and
+the fundamental theorem of calculus reduces the acceleration term to the
+two endpoint pairings.

+# Coordinate-chart gluing for local geodesics
+
+This module supplies the analytic chart-transition facts used to pass a
+geodesic curve from one extended chart to an overlapping one.  In particular,
+it keeps the two genuinely different issues separate:
+
+* a smooth change of coordinates transports both a coordinate curve and its
+  velocity; and
+* the tangent vector represented by those new coordinates is the actual
+  manifold derivative of the same curve.
+
+The subsequent local uniqueness theorem will combine these facts with the
+intrinsic zero-acceleration bridge in `CurveConnection`.

+# Coordinate second variation
+
+This module proves the pointwise, sign-sensitive differential identity behind
+the second variation of energy.  It works in one manifold chart, differentiates
+the metric pairing for independently varying coordinate vectors, identifies
+the Christoffel commutator with the actual curvature tensor, and isolates the
+endpoint derivative that cancels across a broken variation.

+The normal-coordinate first variation formula is combined here with a

+# Curvature regularity along global parallel fields
+
+The geometric index calculation uses the actual curvature tensor sampled by a
+global parallel field.  This module proves the missing analytic fact: that
+scalar coefficient is continuous, hence its sine-weighted restriction to an
+interval is integrable.  The proof is local in a tangent-bundle
+trivialization.  It expands the two parallel/velocity vectors in a smooth
+local frame and invokes the already proved regularity of the actual curvature
+tensor in that frame.
+
+This is only a regularity bridge.  It does not assert second variation or
+nonnegativity of the index form.

+# Covariant acceleration along a curve
+
+The covariant-derivative API is formulated for sections over the manifold,
+whereas a geodesic has a tangent vector in a changing fibre.  This file gives
+an intrinsic characterization of an acceleration along a curve: it is the
+unique tangent vector whose scalar products against differentiable test
+sections obey the metric-compatible product rule.
+
+The characterization makes no chart choice.  The frame computation below
+then proves the transformation law for every local coordinate description.

+# Regularity of distance in normal coordinates
+
+On the punctured image of a sufficiently small normal coordinate chart, the
+finite intrinsic distance from the centre is exactly the norm of the smooth
+logarithm coordinate.  This module records the resulting `C¹` regularity,
+which is the differentiable input for the remaining corner-rigidity step.

+# Finite local-geodesic covers
+
+The global extension construction stores a geodesic as compatible local
+tangent-bundle-state germs.  On a compact time interval those germs admit a
+finite subcover.  This module records that compactness step explicitly: each
+chosen local geodesic carries a certified state-agreement neighbourhood, and
+the finite family covers every time in the interval.
+
+The result is deliberately a cover, not a claimed global parallel transport
+or a smooth minimizing segment.  It is the finite chartwise datum needed
+before either construction can be glued rigorously.

+# Coordinate endpoint continuation for geodesics
+
+The generic ODE restart theorem is specialized here to the chart-valued
+second-order equation used for a local geodesic.  This is deliberately a
+coordinate endpoint result: the separate geometric layer must still show that
+the recharted base point and velocity have a joint limit.  Once it has, this
+file supplies the actual new chart solution and its overlap with the old one.

+# Compactly supported coordinate-geodesic extensions
+
+The chart geodesic equation is genuinely `C¹` only while its position remains
+in the chosen extended-chart target.  For flow-dependence and inverse-function
+arguments it is useful to replace that local right-hand side by a global,
+compactly supported `C¹` field which agrees with it near one prescribed state.
+
+This module proves exactly that localization step.  It does not claim a normal
+neighbourhood or a minimizing-geodesic theorem; it supplies the analytic
+extension those later arguments require.

+The Ricci hypothesis is a trace inequality at each tangent fibre, whereas the
+index-form argument needs the curvature scalars of one coherent transverse
+frame along a geodesic.  This module performs that conversion using the actual

+# The summed geometric sine-index estimate
+
+`GeometricComparison` supplies a pointwise Ricci lower bound for the
+curvature coefficients of one transported frame.  This file performs the
+remaining integral algebra for the actual tangent-bundle sine fields.  The
+integrability premise is explicit: establishing it from the smooth curvature
+tensor is a separate regularity obligation, and no second-variation
+nonnegativity is asserted here.

+# Global finiteness of the induced Riemannian distance
+
+The Riemannian distance in pinned Mathlib is an extended distance, since it is
+defined as an infimum over smooth path lengths.  On a connected boundaryless
+finite-dimensional manifold it is nevertheless finite everywhere.  The proof
+below uses only the local chart estimate already proved by Mathlib and the
+topological connectedness argument; it does not assume geodesics or compactness.

+# Maximal intrinsic geodesic extensions
+
+This module packages locally defined geodesic states in a form suitable for
+Zorn's lemma.  The state lives in the tangent bundle, rather than carrying a
+dependent family of tangent vectors separately.  Consequently the union of a
+chain has a literal, chart-independent state on every overlap.
+
+The analytic endpoint argument is kept separate from this order-theoretic
+layer.  It will supply the strict-extension hypothesis used by the final
+globalization theorem below.

+# Intrinsic acceleration of global geodesic germs
+
+The maximal-extension construction stores a global geodesic as tangent-bundle
+state germs.  This module connects that storage-level description to the
+chart-free covariant-acceleration predicate.  It does not assert endpoint
+minimization; it proves the independent fact that every local germ of the
+global ODE solution is an actual zero-acceleration germ.

+# Parallel germs along complete geodesics
+
+`GlobalGeodesic` supplies a chart-independent geodesic state at every time,
+while `ParallelConnection` supplies an intrinsically parallel field on a
+single local geodesic chart.  This module records their precise interface:
+at every time on a global geodesic, an arbitrary tangent vector has a local
+parallel germ whose base geodesic agrees with the global state germ.  The
+field is deliberately retained on its certified local curve; transporting it
+across the equality of dependent tangent fibres is a separate gluing step.

+# Local parallel fields on a global-geodesic cover
+
+A finite local-geodesic cover identifies every selected local curve with the
+global curve through an equality of tangent-bundle states.  This module turns
+that equality into an explicit dependent-fibre reindexing map.  It therefore
+allows a canonical local parallel field to be read as a field along the
+actual global curve on its certified cover neighbourhood.
+
+This is still a local reindexing operation.  Equality of fields constructed
+from different cover members is a later transport-gluing theorem, not an
+assumption made here.

+# Linear transport induced by global parallel fields
+
+A globally continued orthonormal parallel frame should give more than a list
+of vectors: it determines a genuine linear isometric equivalence between the
+initial tangent fibre and every later tangent fibre.  This file builds that
+map directly from the global fields.  It is the coordinate-free bridge needed
+to evaluate a Ricci trace in the same moving frame used by the sine test.

+The Bonnet--Myers index-form argument uses the Dirichlet test field
+`sin (π t / L)`.  This file records the calculation independently of the
+manifold layer.  In particular, the sharp constant is not inserted as an

+# Tangent-valued local covariant acceleration
+
+The coordinate ODE used for local geodesics has an `E`-valued acceleration.
+This file packages the same expression as a vector in the actual tangent
+fibre.  The packaging is deliberately parameterized by a germ of global frame
+extensions: the covariant-derivative API is local for section germs, and the
+first theorem below records that the resulting tangent vector is independent
+of which such global extensions are used.
+
+This is the layer needed before comparing coordinate calculations from two
+overlapping charts.  It does not yet assert a chart-transition theorem.

+# Manifold-valued local geodesics
+
+The coordinate ODE in `Geodesic.lean` is useful for the analytic existence
+argument, but a later geometric argument should not have to carry a model
+coordinate curve around.  This file packages the local solution with its
+actual manifold curve and its actual tangent-fibre velocity.
+
+The preferred extended chart at the initial point and `Module.finBasis` are
+canonical Mathlib choices.  Thus the public object has no user-selected chart
+or basis parameter; the coordinate certificate is kept as an implementation
+detail of the construction.  The global continuation and chart-transition
+theorems are intentionally not claimed here.

+# Metric preservation for a local coordinate parallel field
+
+The ODE in `Parallel` is written in a fixed model fibre, whereas the metric
+lives in the tangent fibres.  This file closes that local gap.  On an interval
+where the chosen chart frame agrees with the smooth frame used by the
+connection-coefficient germ, a solution of the coordinate parallel equation
+has constant Riemannian inner products after conversion by
+`coordinateFrameCombination`.
+
+The frame-agreement hypothesis is intentionally local.  It is the condition
+that a later chart-patching or continuation argument must establish; it is not
+silently promoted to a global frame.

+/-! The agreement condition in the preceding theorem is automatic at the
+initial point.  We record that fact by restricting both ODE solutions to a
+smaller common interval.  The restriction is important: the smooth extension
+used to define `smoothFrame` agrees with the chart frame only on a

+# Sine test fields along an actual global geodesic
+
+The scalar index-form calculation is useful geometrically only after its
+Dirichlet field has been turned into a tangent-bundle-valued field along a
+geodesic.  This module carries out that step using the genuine global parallel
+transport constructed in `ParallelFieldContinuation`.  In particular, the
+field below has zero endpoints and its displayed derivative is an intrinsic
+covariant derivative, rather than a calculation in a fixed proxy vector
+space.
+
+This does not yet prove the second-variation inequality: that still requires
+an endpoint-minimizing smooth geodesic and a manifold variation theorem.

+A geodesic-continuation proof has a metric component which is independent of
+coordinates: a curve whose distance grows at most linearly in time has a
+limit at every finite endpoint in a complete metric space.  This file records
+that component without presupposing a global geodesic flow.  The remaining

+# Coherent metric segments
+
+This file develops the next, genuinely metric, Hopf--Rinow layer.  Properness
+and exact intermediate points alone do *not* give a curve: independently
+chosen intermediate points can lie on different branches.  The lemmas here
+therefore keep the endpoint equalities explicit and show how to refine an
+already coherent piece of a segment.  They are the finite-consistency input
+for the compact-product construction of a minimizing metric segment.

+# The local covariant derivative of a coordinate field
+
+This file supplies the first genuinely geometric transport bridge.  A model
+vector is converted to a tangent section by the inverse of the chart
+trivialization.  In a region where the smooth frame used to define the
+coefficient germ agrees with the canonical local frame, the bundled
+covariant-derivative API gives exactly the coordinate formula used by the
+parallel ODE.

+The agreement hypothesis is explicit because `LocalGeodesicData` uses smooth
+global extensions of local frame vectors in order to expose regularity to the
+ODE theorem.  It is discharged on a neighbourhood of the chart centre, and
+must not be silently replaced by a global frame identity.

+chart frame.  The next lemma combines it with the metric-compatibility field
+of the actual Levi--Civita connection.  This is deliberately pointwise and
+keeps the frame-agreement hypothesis explicit; it is the local ingredient
+needed before a global transport or continuation argument can be assembled.

+# Uniform continuation of a smooth piece of an exact metric segment
+
+The two-point connector energy removes the non-uniformity of normal
+neighbourhoods whose centre moves toward a putative endpoint.  If a complete
+unit-speed geodesic already represents an exact metric segment up to an
+interior parameter, one strong two-point neighbourhood at that parameter
+identifies its final short piece with the incoming connector.  First
+variation then aligns every sufficiently short outgoing minimizing connector,
+and local ODE uniqueness continues the original complete geodesic across the
+endpoint.

+# Consequences of an endpoint-minimizing global geodesic
+
+The metric Hopf--Rinow layer has already produced a continuous exact metric
+segment, while the ODE layer has produced smooth complete geodesics. The
+remaining regularity bridge must identify one of those objects. This module
+records the nontrivial consequence once that identification is established:
+an endpoint distance equality for a constant-speed global geodesic forces
+every subsegment to be distance-realizing and minimal among smooth
+competitors. No existence of such an endpoint-matching geodesic is assumed
+or claimed here.

+# A local geodesic endpoint neighbourhood
+
+The localized coordinate-flow inverse theorem supplies a coordinate geodesic
+to each sufficiently nearby chart point.  This module transports that result
+back to the manifold and packages the resulting path as an intrinsic local
+geodesic.  It deliberately proves endpoint reachability only: local metric
+minimization still requires the Gauss-lemma/length comparison bridge.

+/-! ### Time-dependent first-order equations
+
+The parallel-transport equation along a prescribed curve has a time-dependent
+right-hand side.  Mathlib's local theorem is stated for an autonomous vector
+field, so we adjoin the clock coordinate.  The small interval shrink below is
+deliberate: it makes the clock-coordinate identity an ordinary consequence of
+the derivative equation, rather than an implicit convention about the ODE. -/

+# Restarting an ODE at a finite endpoint
+
+This module is the analytic continuation layer used by the global geodesic
+argument.  It proves that a solution which converges, together with its full
+first-order state, at a finite left endpoint agrees near that endpoint with a
+fresh local solution.  The proof does not hide an endpoint differentiability
+assumption: the one-sided derivative is explicitly recovered from the limit
+of the vector field using Mathlib's boundary-extension theorem.

+# Intrinsic local parallel transport
+
+`Parallel.lean` constructs the coordinate solution of the linear transport
+equation.  This file proves the missing geometric interpretation: after the
+coordinate field is expressed through the canonical smooth frame extensions,
+its covariant derivative along the local geodesic is zero.  The frame agreement
+is retained as a neighbourhood condition, rather than treating a chart frame
+as a global frame.

+# Maximal parallel fields along a complete geodesic
+
+This module begins the genuinely global parallel-transport construction.  A
+field is represented on an open time interval of a fixed global geodesic, with
+its values outside that interval normalized to zero.  At every point in its
+domain it agrees, as a tangent-bundle-valued germ, with an actual local
+parallel transport.  The normalization makes chain unions literal functions,
+so that Zorn's lemma can later be applied without treating fields on different
+domains as definitionally equal.
+
+The endpoint-extension argument remains separate: it will use the bounded
+linear-transport continuation theorem from `ODEContinuation` after converting
+the field into endpoint-chart coordinates.

+# Time reflection for local parallel germs
+
+This module makes the time-reversal construction for local parallel transport
+explicit at the level of tangent-bundle total spaces.  A local germ on the
+reversed complete geodesic can therefore be reflected to a genuine local germ
+on the original complete geodesic.  Every dependent-fibre reindexing is kept
+visible through an equality of total tangent-bundle states.

+# The finite-dimensional second-variation contradiction
+
+This module contains the sign-critical core of the Bonnet--Myers argument.  It
+does not call a geometric theorem by name: the hypotheses explicitly provide
+the transverse test fields, their integrability, the curvature comparison, and
+the nonnegativity of the index form for a minimizing segment.  The conclusion
+is then a checked contradiction with the sine test.
+
+The geometric work still needed by the entry is to construct these fields from
+parallel transport along a minimizing geodesic and to prove the index-form
+nonnegativity from the endpoint-minimizing property.

+The connection and curvature are constructed in the conclusion. Curvature is
+characterized on all smooth vector fields by the covariant-derivative
+commutator, and Ricci is the ordinary linear trace of Z ↦ R(Z,v)v.
+The distance and completeness use the supplied smooth metric. No geodesic,
+second-variation, compactness, or diameter assertion is an input hypothesis.
+The constant is the classical sharp bound; sphere attainment is not selected.

+# Uniform corner rigidity from two-point connector energy
+
+The strong two-point endpoint equivalence supplies one smooth family of
+connectors while both endpoints vary in a fixed neighbourhood.  Its energy
+is an upper support for half squared distance.  Along an exact-distance
+outgoing curve, the endpoint first variation therefore forces equality in
+Cauchy--Schwarz and positive tangent alignment.

+# Gauss identities for two-point coordinate geodesics
+
+The ordinary normal-coordinate Gauss lemma fixes the centre of its chart as
+the initial point of every geodesic.  A strong normal neighbourhood instead
+uses one chart while the initial point varies.  This file separates those two
+roles: an ordinary second-order solution may start at an arbitrary coordinate
+`p`, while its manifold curve is read through the fixed chart at `x₀`.

+# Contraction of the actual connection curvature derivative
+
+This bridge uses the corrected curvature derivative of a connection. The cyclic second Bianchi
+equation follows from torsion-freeness. The proof derives both derivative skew symmetries and
+pair interchange from the connection and its metric compatibility. It then performs the double
+contraction. Identifying the resulting sums separately with differentials of the Ricci/scalar
+fields, or with the divergence of an Einstein tensor field, is outside this file's scope.

+# The Hamilton--Ivey reaction coercivity estimate
+
+This file proves the pointwise nonlinear estimate used at a negative minimum
+of the Hamilton--Ivey pinching quantity.  We use the normalization of
+Chen--Xu--Zhang: `lambda >= mu >= nu` are the eigenvalues of the curvature
+operator whose value on a tangent plane is twice its sectional curvature, and
+the scalar curvature is `R = lambda + mu + nu`.
+
+No curvature evolution equation or maximum principle is assumed here.  This
+is the exact reaction-term calculation which those geometric ingredients
+consume.

+# Complete, independently auditable Lichnerowicz--Obata statement
+
+This is the same geometric theorem as the parameterized statement. All manifold
+parameters and all nine geometric definitions are explicitly inside one closed
+proposition, so the registry can print its signature without reconstructing
+Mathlib's dependent types as opaque axioms. Comparator compares this entire
+definition body, not an alias to unchecked project definitions.
+
+The scalar operator is div-grad; the Ricci bound is (n-1)*K, K > 0; the first
+positive smooth eigenvalue is attained, is at least n*K, and equals n*K exactly
+for the round sphere of radius 1/sqrt K. No geometric or analytic bridge is
+assumed. The formal equivalence with the original statement is proved in
+StatementEquivalence.lean. The smooth-extension construction is inherited from
+the independently stated geometry at 3faf25aefc27842a77c37ca178e8a40a20bb20c7;
+see PROVENANCE.md for its contracted-Bianchi and almost-Schur attribution.

+Arthur742Ramos/lean-poincare-formalization-plan at immutable commit
+3faf25aefc27842a77c37ca178e8a40a20bb20c7. The original coefficient,
+difference-quotient and extraction arguments are reused with attribution.
+This adaptation adds multiplication by a derivative of the smooth potential
+and changes the base forcing from F to F times the root weak jet.
+Consequently F is a smooth coefficient; the unknown function is never
+assumed smooth. The equation is div(A grad u) = F u.
+
+This file proves local Euclidean steps. Manifold assembly is separate.

+# Smoothness of the matrix determinant, adjugate, and nonsingular inverse
+
+This module records the *base-polymorphic, arbitrary-order* smoothness of the matrix
+determinant, adjugate, and (nonsingular) inverse, viewed as maps on the finite-dimensional
+real normed space `ι → ι → ℝ` of matrix entries.
+
+The determinant and adjugate are polynomial maps of the entries, hence `ContDiff ℝ n` for every
+order `n`; the inverse is `A⁻¹ = (det A)⁻¹ • adjugate A`, so it is `ContMDiffOn` on the locus where
+the determinant is nonzero.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The spatial Riemannian *raising* machinery reduces raising a co-vector to inverting the local-frame
+Gram matrix, and its existing smoothness support
+(`CovariantDerivative.contMDiffOn_localFrameGramMatrix_inv`) is proved only for a fixed base
+manifold `M` and at the single order `2`.  Running that argument jointly over the *space-time* base
+`ℝ × M` — the joint `(t, x)` smoothness of the Ricci–DeTurck gauge field for a genuinely
+time-dependent metric — requires exactly these facts for an *arbitrary* base manifold and at
+*arbitrary* order.  This module isolates that field-independent linear-algebra core so it can be
+reused verbatim over any base.

+/- The mixed time--space derivative theorem at an arbitrary spatial base point.
+
+The derivative is obtained from the genuine joint C² field on
+ℝ × E; the time derivative of the spatial differential is therefore the
+spatial differential of the time derivative.  Keeping the base point
+explicit is important for manifold applications, where the point at which
+a connection or curvature component is read out is not a distinguished
+origin of the model space. -/

+# Smoothness of a *parametrized* fibrewise bilinear form on a vector bundle
+
+Mathlib's `ContMDiffWithinAt.inner_bundle` proves that, on a Riemannian vector bundle, the scalar
+product `⟪v m, w m⟫` of two smooth sections is smooth.  Its smoothness of the metric is supplied by
+the typeclass `[IsContMDiffRiemannianBundle IB n F E]`, which fixes *one* metric on the bundle.
+
+For a genuinely **time-dependent** metric `g_t` on the tangent bundle — the setting of Ricci flow —
+that single-metric typeclass is not enough: as the time parameter varies, the fibrewise bilinear form
+`g_t.inner x : E x →L[ℝ] E x →L[ℝ] ℝ` traces a family that must be controlled *jointly* in `(t, x)`.
+
+This module records the parametrized version of `inner_bundle`, in which the fibrewise bilinear form
+`g : Π y, E y →L[ℝ] E y →L[ℝ] ℝ` is supplied as an **explicit jointly-smooth section** (over a base
+map `b : M → B`), rather than through the `IsContMDiffRiemannianBundle` instance.  The conclusion is
+that evaluating it on two jointly-smooth sections is jointly smooth.  Instantiating the parameter
+manifold `M := ℝ × M` and `b := Prod.snd` yields the joint `(t, x)` smoothness of a time-dependent
+metric evaluated on fixed frame vectors — the missing input for the space-time Gram matrix used by
+the Ricci–DeTurck gauge field.
+
+The proof is exactly the internal argument of `inner_bundle` (`ContMDiffWithinAt.clm_bundle_apply₂`
+into the trivial `ℝ`-bundle, then read off the fibre component), with the metric section made an
+explicit hypothesis instead of extracted from the typeclass.

+### The genuinely parameter-dependent bilinear form
+
+For a *time-dependent* metric the fibrewise bilinear form depends on the full parameter `m` (which
+carries the time coordinate), not merely on the base point `b m`.  We therefore also record the
+version whose bilinear-form section `ψ : ∀ m, E (b m) →L[ℝ] E (b m) →L[ℝ] ℝ` is an arbitrary function
+of the parameter (its fibre still living over `b m`).  Instantiating `M := ℝ × M`, `b := Prod.snd`,
+and `ψ (t, x) := (g t).inner x` gives the joint `(t, x)` smoothness of a time-dependent metric
+evaluated on two jointly-smooth sections — exactly the input the space-time Gram matrix needs.

+# Joint `(t, x)` smoothness of the local-frame Gram matrix of a time-dependent metric
+
+The joint space-time smoothness of the Ricci–DeTurck gauge field reduces, via the raised-covector
+coefficient formula, to inverting the local-frame Gram matrix of the *time-dependent* metric jointly
+in `(t, x)`.  The field-independent matrix calculus that inverts and contracts such a jointly-smooth
+matrix already exists (`PoincareCurvature.MatrixSmoothness`).  The missing input is the joint
+`(t, x)` smoothness of the Gram *readout* itself,
+`G(t, x)ᵢⱼ = (g t).inner x (frameᵢ x) (frameⱼ x)`.
+
+Given a time-dependent metric `g : ℝ → ContMDiffRiemannianMetric` whose fibrewise bilinear form is
+**jointly** `(t, x)`-smooth (the honest "time-dependent Riemannian raising" datum), this file proves
+that readout is `ContMDiffOn` over `ℝ × B`, valued in `ι → ι → ℝ` — exactly the matrix family the
+`contMDiffOn_matrixInv_mulVec` / `contMDiffOn_bilinForm` core consumes.
+
+The proof feeds the joint metric section and the (time-independent) local frame vectors into the
+parameter-dependent bilinear-form apply lemma `contMDiffOn_paramBilin_apply₂` from
+`PoincareCurvature.Analysis.ParametrizedInner`, with parameter manifold `ℝ × B` and base map
+`Prod.snd`.

+# Analytic evolution layer for Ricci-DeTurck
+
+This file starts the proof-bearing analytic layer needed for the Ricci-DeTurck
+PDE part of roadmap point 4.  It deliberately proves only what follows from
+mathlib's Picard-Lindelof theorem: local Banach-space evolution from verified
+Lipschitz/continuity hypotheses.  The geometric Ricci-DeTurck closure still
+requires a Banach chart of Riemannian metrics and parabolic estimates showing
+that the Ricci-DeTurck operator satisfies these hypotheses.

+/-- Time-dependent Ricci-DeTurck Banach-chart bridge. If a time-dependent finite-cover vector field
+satisfies Picard-Lindelof/Lipschitz hypotheses and agrees pointwise, on the positive-definite locus,
+with an intrinsic geometric Ricci-DeTurck right-hand side at the same time, then the local Banach
+solution produced from a continuous Riemannian initial metric stays in the symmetric
+positive-definite metric locus.
+
+This is the non-autonomous counterpart of
+`exists_unique_from_continuousRiemannianMetric_of_geometricRicciDeTurckRHS_contDiffAt_lipschitzOn`.
+The remaining analytic specialization is still the parabolic construction of the chart vector field

+/-! ### The affine autonomous ODE `y' = L y + b`
+
+The frozen (autonomous) Ricci–DeTurck chart operator is **affine** in the section state,
+`A τ s = L s + b`, so its Banach evolution solves the *affine* linear ODE `y' = L y + b`, **not** the
+homogeneous one solved by `exp ((t - t₀) • L)`.  We solve the affine ODE explicitly and globally by the
+classical augmentation trick: adjoin a scalar coordinate that carries the constant `b`.  On `E × ℝ` the
+**augmented generator** `(v, s) ↦ (L v + s • b, 0)` is a genuine bounded linear operator whose scalar
+coordinate is conserved (`≡ 1`), and the first coordinate of its operator-exponential orbit through
+`(y₀, 1)` is the affine solution.  Everything reduces to `isIntegralCurve_exp_smul_const` on `E × ℝ`;
+no PDE, integral, or manifold content is used. -/
+
+/-- **The augmented generator** on `E × ℝ` turning the affine ODE `y' = L y + b` into a homogeneous
+linear one: `(v, s) ↦ (L v + s • b, 0)`.  The scalar coordinate `s` carries the inhomogeneity `b` and
+is conserved by the flow (its own derivative is `0`), so starting it at `1` reproduces the `+ b`. -/

+# Endpoint closure for Banach evolution uniqueness
+
+This leaf module closes the restricted-terminal Banach uniqueness bridge at the
+common endpoint.  The core analytic layer already supplies equality on every
+shorter closed interval and therefore on the open common interval; the lemmas
+below add the endpoint using within-interval continuity of the ODE curves.

+# Item 2 (GAP 1) capstone — compact-manifold `C³` gauge flow from time-dependent raising data
+
+This module composes the two halves of Item 2's compact-manifold gauge-flow existence:
+
+* the **globally-defined metric-raised gauge field** and its per-patch joint `(t, x)`-smoothness,
+  packaged coordinate-free in `PoincareCurvature/Analysis/TimeDependentGram.lean`
+  (`exists_isOpen_contMDiffOn_raisedGaugeField_tangentSection`), and
+* the **compact-manifold flow-by-time-dependent-vector-field** with `C³` regularity, built in
+  `AnalyticPDE/ModelManifoldGaugeFlow.lean`
+  (`exists_flow_Ioo_forall_contMDiff_of_locally_contMDiffOn_tangentSection_compact`).
+
+The final composition instantiates the *abstract vector-bundle* raised-field lemma at the tangent
+bundle `V := TangentSpace I`.  This crosses a genuine Mathlib instance-resolution wall: synthesising
+`FiberBundle`/`VectorBundle ℝ E (TangentSpace I)` in the heavy compact-manifold instance context runs a
+non-terminating `whnf` (a transported-instance diamond between the canonical tangent-bundle fibre
+structure and the `NormedAddCommGroup`-derived one).  The wall is defeated here by:
+
+1. pinning **every** bundle instance of the abstract lemma positionally via `@`, bridging each with a
+   tactic-mode `by exact` (which unifies the two defeq-but-not-syntactic instance paths where a bare
+   term-level `:=` reports a spurious type mismatch), and
+2. supplying the flow's vector field `X` as the **same** `@`-pinned `raisedGaugeField` expression, so the
+   raw-manifold flow goal and the abstract lemma's conclusion are *syntactically identical* on the
+   section; the only residual defeq is the definitional `I.tangent = I.prod 𝓘(ℝ, E)`, discharged
+   cheaply rather than through the diamond.
+
+The result `exists_gaugeFlow_Ioo_of_timeDependent_raisingData` is the general-`M` flow capstone of Item 2
+GAP 1: on a compact boundaryless manifold, the metric-raised time-dependent gauge field flows to a
+`C³`-in-space diffeomorphism family on an open time interval around `0`, with no restricting instance.

+Let `M` be a compact boundaryless `C^∞` manifold modelled on `E`, `g : ℝ → ContMDiffRiemannianMetric`
+a time-dependent smooth Riemannian metric on the tangent bundle, and `om : ℝ → Ω¹` a time-dependent
+one-form, with joint `(t, x)`-smoothness of the metric inner product (`hg`) and of the one-form
+(`hom`).  Then the metric-raised gauge field `raisedGaugeField (g t) (om t) bas`, read as a
+time-dependent tangent vector field, flows: there is a family `Φ : ℝ → M → M` and an open interval
+`Ioo c d ∋ 0` on which `Φ` is anchored at the identity at time `0` and each time-`t` map is
+`C³`.  This is the general (non-model, non-Levi-Civita-background) compact-manifold gauge-flow
+existence targeted by Item 2 GAP 1. -/

+# The intrinsic DeTurck vector field is the metric-raised gauge field
+
+This internal file records the single pointwise identity connecting the two coordinate
+descriptions of the intrinsic DeTurck gauge vector field:
+
+- `intrinsicDeTurckVectorField g background t x`, defined by raising the traced DeTurck one-form
+  through the time-slice metric via the Riesz map `CovariantDerivative.rieszMap` (the
+  `RiemannianBundle` path), and
+- `raisedGaugeField (g t) (intrinsicDeTurckOneForm g background t) bas x`, the coordinate-free
+  metric-raised gauge field of `PoincareCurvature.ParametrizedInner` (the `VectorBundle` path)
+  consumed by the compact-manifold gauge-flow raising capstone.
+
+Both are the unique metric dual `♯` of the same one-form `intrinsicDeTurckOneForm g background t`, so
+they coincide.  The identity is proved through the uniqueness characterisation
+`raisedGaugeField_eq_of_forall_inner_eq`, which lets the metric-dual side be *produced* by the lemma
+(so the two tangent-bundle instance paths — `rieszMap`'s `RiemannianBundle` and `raisedGaugeField`'s
+`FiberBundle`/`VectorBundle` — never have to be reconciled by `isDefEq` inside a single subterm).  The
+only remaining obligation is the pointwise pairing `(g t).inner x (rieszMap x ω) w = ω w`, which is the
+defining Riesz identity `rieszMap_apply_inner` under `letI : RiemannianBundle TM := ⟨(g t).…⟩`.
+
+This is the pointwise bridge (the later-30 `NEXT`) that turns the raising capstone's flow of
+`raisedGaugeField (g t) (intrinsicDeTurckOneForm …) bas` into the flow of the genuine DeTurck vector
+field.  It is proof-bearing preparatory infrastructure only; it does not complete roadmap point 4.

+This module packages the coordinate-Hessian kernel from the Schauder estimate
+as a continuous bounded function.  In particular, the second derivatives
+proved in `HeatKernelSchauder` are not merely pointwise expressions: at every
+fixed final time they form continuous spatial fields, as required for the
+domain of the heat generator.

+# Operator packaging of the Euclidean Duhamel Hessian
+
+The full coordinate gradient and Hessian are assembled here as continuous
+linear maps on `Fin n → ℝ`.  This removes the diagonal-only obstruction to a
+genuine parabolic second jet: the packaged Hessian contains every mixed entry,
+is continuous in space, has a global operator-norm bound, and represents every
+actual iterated coordinate derivative proved in the preceding module.

+# Time differentiation of the Euclidean Duhamel potential
+
+This module proves the generator identity for the Euclidean heat semigroup on
+globally coordinatewise Hölder data and uses it to identify the time
+derivative of the inhomogeneous Duhamel potential.  The endpoint singularity
+is genuine: the heat-kernel Hessian is bounded by `u ^ (-1 + r / 2)`, which is
+integrable precisely because `r > 0`.

+# The full Euclidean heat Hessian
+
+The earlier heat-kernel development realized and estimated the diagonal
+coordinate derivatives.  A genuine Frechet second derivative also needs the
+mixed entries.  This file introduces the uniform `(j,k)` Hessian kernel and
+proves its analytic foundation: integrability, zero total mass, cancellation,
+and the spatial Holder gain with the correct parabolic homogeneity.

+# Semigroup factorization for the Euclidean heat Hessian
+
+A positive-time heat smoothing of bounded Holder data is itself bounded C2
+data.  Combining this fact with uniqueness of the genuine Frechet derivatives
+and the Chapman--Kolmogorov law factors a later heat Hessian through any
+strictly positive intermediate heat time.  This is the old-time input in the
+Duhamel Hessian Holder estimate.

+# Quantitative Hessian control for the Euclidean mild heat solution
+
+This file proves the full mixed-Hessian operator-norm component of the
+Euclidean Schauder estimate.  The homogeneous term uses heat-kernel
+cancellation against the spatial Holder modulus of the initial datum; the
+inhomogeneous term uses the time-integrated Duhamel Hessian estimate.

+# Field-jet extraction from a jointly-`ContDiff` time-dependent field (roadmap point 4, Item 2)
+
+The Banach → manifold smooth-dependence tower (`AnalyticPDE/SmoothDependenceCk`,
+`AnalyticPDE/FlowDiffeomorphism`, `AnalyticPDE/SmoothDependenceManifold`,
+`AnalyticPDE/ModelManifoldGaugeFlow`) drives the `C³` gauge flow of Item 2 from a **field jet**:
+the spatial Fréchet derivatives `Dv`, `D²v`, `D³v` of the time-dependent field `v : ℝ → E → E`,
+supplied as separate objects with pointwise `HasFDerivAt`, joint `(t, x)`-continuity, and global
+Lipschitz bounds.
+
+Those jet hypotheses are stated abstractly so the tower is agnostic to how the derivatives arise.
+This module supplies the honest bridge from a *single* clean smoothness hypothesis — `v` jointly
+`ContDiff` in `(time, space)` (`ContDiff ℝ n (Function.uncurry v)`) — to the **first jet layer**:
+
+* `contDiff_apply_of_contDiff_uncurry` — each time slice `v s` is spatially `ContDiff ℝ n`;
+* `hasFDerivAt_fderiv_of_contDiff_uncurry` — the spatial derivative object `fderiv ℝ (v s)` is a
+  genuine Fréchet derivative of `v s` at every point (`1 ≤ n`);
+* `continuous_fderiv_of_contDiff_uncurry` — the spatial derivative is jointly continuous in `(t, x)`,
+  via the partial-derivative identity `fderiv ℝ (v t) x = fderiv ℝ (uncurry v) (t, x) ∘L inr`.
+
+Together these produce exactly the `hDv`/`hDvc` inputs of the tower's flow theorems (`Dv := fun s ↦
+fderiv ℝ (v s)`).  No new analytic content: a transport of Mathlib's `ContDiff` calculus into the
+jet shape the smooth-dependence tower consumes.

+/-! ## Layer-3 multilinear compatibility identities (`hcompat`/`hcurry`)
+
+The tower's `C³` flow theorem `contMDiff_three_flow_apply_of_lipschitz_thirdDeriv` consumes the third
+jet in the **multilinear** (`iteratedFDeriv`) representation — the only form in which the third
+derivative carries a synthesizable norm — together with two compatibility identities linking that
+representation to the nested-`fderiv` second derivative used by the layer-2 forcing engine:
+
+* `hcompat : D2vc s ξ = curry2 (D2vm s ξ)` with `D2vc s = fderiv ℝ (fderiv ℝ (v s))` and
+  `D2vm s = iteratedFDeriv ℝ 2 (v s)`;
+* `hcurry  : D3vm s ξ = (D3v s ξ).curryLeft` with `D3vm s = fderiv ℝ (iteratedFDeriv ℝ 2 (v s))` and
+  `D3v s = iteratedFDeriv ℝ 3 (v s)`.
+
+Both identities hold **unconditionally** (no smoothness hypothesis): the first is the pointwise
+`iteratedFDeriv_two_apply` bridged through `curry2_apply`; the second is the definitional
+`fderiv_iteratedFDeriv` (`fderiv ℝ (iteratedFDeriv ℝ 2 f) = continuousMultilinearCurryLeftEquiv … ∘
+iteratedFDeriv ℝ 3 f`), whose currying equiv is exactly `ContinuousMultilinearMap.curryLeft`. -/
+
+/-- **`hcompat` identity.**  The nested-`fderiv` second derivative `fderiv ℝ (fderiv ℝ f) ξ`, as an
+`E →L[ℝ] E →L[ℝ] E`, is the two-fold curry `curry2` of the multilinear second derivative
+`iteratedFDeriv ℝ 2 f ξ`.  Holds for every `f : E → E` and `ξ` with no smoothness hypothesis:
+`curry2 X a b = X ![a, b]` (`curry2_apply`) and `iteratedFDeriv ℝ 2 f ξ ![a, b] =
+fderiv ℝ (fderiv ℝ f) ξ a b` (`iteratedFDeriv_two_apply`).  This is exactly the `hcompat` input of the

+/-! ## Layer-3 multilinear field-jet extraction (`iteratedFDeriv` joint `ContDiff` from a single
+`ContDiff` hypothesis)
+
+The tower's `C³` flow theorem consumes the second and third derivatives in the multilinear
+`iteratedFDeriv` representation, with joint `(t, x)`-continuity.  We supply their joint smoothness by a
+single recursion: `uncurry (fun s ↦ iteratedFDeriv ℝ (k+1) (w s))` is the currying isometry applied to
+`uncurry (fun s ↦ fderiv ℝ (iteratedFDeriv ℝ k (w s)))` (`iteratedFDeriv_succ_eq_comp_left`), whose
+joint `ContDiff` (one order lower) comes from the codomain-general layer-1 recursion
+`contDiff_uncurry_fderiv_of_contDiff_uncurry'` applied to the `k`-th jet field.  The base case
+`k = 0` is `uncurry w` post-composed with the `Fin 0` currying isometry. -/

+`ContDiff ℝ m` whenever `m + k ≤ n`.  Proved by induction on `k`: the `succ` step rewrites

+# The time-`t` flow map is a homeomorphism (bijectivity / inverse-flow half of the diffeomorphism)
+
+The smooth-dependence tower (`SmoothDependenceCk`) already establishes that for a flow family
+`Φ : E → ℝ → E` of a uniformly `K`-Lipschitz, time-continuous vector field `v` anchored at
+`Φ x t₀ = x`, the time-`t` flow map `x ↦ Φ x t` is **injective** (`injective_flow_apply`) and
+**Lipschitz/continuous** in the initial value (`lipschitzWith_flow_apply`, `continuous_flow_apply`).
+Injectivity is exactly the "diffeomorphism onto its image" half that Item 2's compact-manifold
+gauge-flow constructor needs; the *other* half — that the flow map is a **bijection with a
+continuous inverse** (so the flow at each time is an ambient self-homeomorphism, the topological
+skeleton of the self-diffeomorphism family `SmoothSelfDiffeomorph3Family`) — was still missing.
+
+This module closes that gap, entirely from the existence and uniqueness theory already in
+`SmoothDependenceCk`:
+
+* `surjective_flow_apply` — the flow map is **surjective**: every `w` is `Φ z t` for the initial
+  value `z = γ t₀`, where `γ` is the integral curve through `w` at time `t`
+  (`exists_isIntegralCurve_of_lipschitzWith`), identified with `Φ (γ t₀)` by uniqueness
+  (`eq_of_isIntegralCurve_of_eq_at`).
+* `bijective_flow_apply` — combining with `injective_flow_apply`.
+* `exists_inverse_flow_apply` — the **explicit inverse flow map**: taking a companion flow family
+  `Ψ` anchored at time `t` (from `exists_flow_family`), the map `ψ = fun w ↦ Ψ w t₀` is a two-sided
+  inverse of `x ↦ Φ x t`, and being itself the time-`t₀` map of a flow family it is Lipschitz (with
+  the exponential constant) and hence continuous.  This is the reverse-time flow.
+* `exists_homeomorph_flow_apply` — the packaged statement that the time-`t` flow map underlies a
+  `Homeomorph E E`.
+
+Everything is proved sorry-free from Mathlib and the `SmoothDependenceCk` tower; no PDE or manifold
+content is used.  The state space needs only `[CompleteSpace E]` (for the companion existence).

+## Two-sided (all-time) differentiable dependence
+
+The regularity layers of `SmoothDependenceCk` are all stated in *forward* time (`t₀ ≤ t`).  For the
+flow at a time `t ≥ t₀` to be a **diffeomorphism**, its inverse is a *backward* flow (target time
+`t₀` earlier than the anchor `t`), so backward-time differentiability is needed.  It follows from
+the forward result by the time-reversal trick already used for the Grönwall bounds
+(`isIntegralCurve_comp_neg`): the field `w s x = -(v (-s) x)` is `K`-Lipschitz with `L`-Lipschitz,
+jointly continuous spatial derivative `Dw s x = -(Dv (-s) x)`, and the forward flow of `w` anchored
+at `-t₀`, reflected by `s ↦ -s`, is the backward flow of `v` anchored at `t₀`.
+-/

+/-- **Backward-in-time differentiable dependence on initial data** for a `C^{1,1}` field.  Same
+hypotheses as `exists_flow_differentiable_of_lipschitz_deriv` but for `t ≤ t₀`.  Proved by applying
+the forward theorem to the time-reversed field `w s x = -(v (-s) x)` (with reversed derivative
+`Dw s x = -(Dv (-s) x)`) anchored at `-t₀` and target `-t ≥ -t₀`, then reflecting the resulting flow

+# The frozen (affine) Ricci–DeTurck chart operator's explicit global evolution
+
+The **frozen** geometric Ricci–DeTurck chart operator is *affine*: with the DeTurck coefficient
+`P := ∇W` frozen at the initial data and the principal Ricci source `b` frozen as a fixed
+`ContinuousSectionSpace` value, it acts as
+
+`A τ s = deTurckReactionSectionMap P s + b = L s + b`,
+
+where `L := deTurckReactionSectionMapL … hP : CSS →L[ℝ] CSS` is the bounded-linear reaction
+generator (`GeometricReactionPicardTangent`).  Since the continuous section space `CSS` is a
+**complete** normed `ℝ`-space, the abstract affine autonomous ODE machinery
+(`AutonomousResolventExp`: `affineFundamentalSolution` via the augmentation trick, its
+`HasDerivAt`, initial value, and uniqueness) applies verbatim.
+
+This module performs the **Duhamel assembly** the plan named as NEXT: it imports both frontier
+files and specialises the abstract affine resolvent to `L` and a general frozen source `b`, giving
+the concrete frozen chart operator a genuine, *explicit and global* solution
+`deTurckFrozenAffineEvolution`.  We prove it starts at `σ₀`, solves the exact frozen ODE
+`σ' = deTurckReactionSectionMap P σ + b`, and is the **unique** such global solution — the
+existence-and-uniqueness core the chart-closure `realization`/`encode` fields consume for the
+frozen (autonomous) chart.  A geometric corollary specialises `P`/`b` to the genuine geometric
+data `∇W` / `intrinsicRicciFlowRHSSectionSpace g t`, matching the operator solved by
+`deTurckFrozenGeometric_nonempty_banachEvolutionLocalSolutionIn`.
+
+No parabolic Schauder content is used: the frozen operator is bounded-linear, so its evolution is
+the operator exponential of the augmented generator.

+# Fiber-norm-free readout algebra for the tangent-bundle DeTurck reaction operator
+
+The concrete tangent-bundle DeTurck reaction operator `deTurckReactionSectionMap` (fiber value
+`(u, v) ↦ s (P u) v + s (P v) u`, shape `(s x).comp (P x) + ((s x).comp (P x)).flip`) acts on the
+`BilinearFormBundle` continuous section space at `W := TangentSpace I`.  Its section-space Picard
+coordinate bounds are ultimately controlled by the operator norm of the *model-fibre* trivialization
+readout of its fibre value.
+
+The existing readout estimates in `VectorBundle/RiemannianSection.lean` are phrased via
+`ContinuousLinearMap.bilinearComp`, which demands `[SeminormedAddCommGroup]` on its argument spaces.
+This module reproves the underlying readout algebra **fiber-norm-free**, phrasing the reaction through
+the fibre-norm-free `ContinuousLinearMap.comp`/`ContinuousLinearMap.flip` (exactly what
+`deTurckReactionSectionMap` uses).  The key structural facts are:
+
+* the trivialization readout is additive/subtractive in the fibre value (`readout_add_nf`,
+  `readout_sub_nf`), and
+* it carries a fibre first-slot composition `B.comp Q` to the *model-fibre* composition of `readout B`
+  with the endomorphism coordinate readout `inCoordinates F W F W x₀ x x₀ x Q` (`comp_readout_eq_nf`).
+
+All are proved with only `AddCommGroup`/`Module`/`TopologicalSpace` fibre binders — the binders of the
+`LocalCoordinatePositivity` section hosting `trivializationAt_bilinearFormBundle_apply_eq` — so at the
+tangent bundle they use the canonical derived module and dodge the seminorm-derived-module diamond.

+# Section-space Banach evolution for the frozen-coefficient geometric DeTurck reaction
+
+This module closes the loop between the two halves of the geometric Ricci–DeTurck chart operator's
+`picard` datum that have been built independently:
+
+* the concrete **coordinate `hlip`/`hcenter` bounds** for the affine frozen-coefficient DeTurck
+  reaction operator `A s = bilinearDerivationFieldLinearMap … s + b` on the `BilinearFormBundle`
+  continuous section space (`VectorBundle/RiemannianSection.lean`,
+  `bilinearDerivationFieldLinearMap_add_source_coord_dist_le` / `_add_source_coord_norm_le`), and
+
+* the **section-space Picard bridge** producing a genuine `BanachEvolutionLocalSolutionIn`
+  (`AnalyticPDE/SectionSpacePicard.lean`).
+
+The bridge could not previously be applied to the concrete `BilinearFormBundle` section space because
+of a topology-instance diamond: the bridge derived its fibre topology from a
+`SeminormedAddCommGroup (V x)` (Path A), while the concrete double-`ContinuousLinearMap` fibre
+`BilW x = W x →L[ℝ] W x →L[ℝ] ℝ` carries the (defeq but differently spelled)
+`ContinuousLinearMap.topologicalSpace` (Path B) that `FiberBundle`/`VectorBundle` and every concrete
+coordinate readout lemma use.  The topological-fibre bridge
+`sectionSpace_banachEvolutionLocalSolutionIn_exists_of_forall_coord_centerBound_topFibre` takes the
+fibre topology as an *explicit* instance binder, so it consumes the Path-B coordinate bounds verbatim.
+
+The result `bilinearDerivationFieldLinearMap_add_source_banachEvolutionLocalSolutionIn_exists` is the
+first genuine `BanachEvolutionLocalSolutionIn` produced from the *geometric* reaction operator (not a
+model heat-semigroup): from a uniform bound `Kp` on the frozen endomorphism coefficient `P`'s
+model-fibre readout over a finite compact cover, together with the time-radius compatibility
+`(Mc + K·a)·(T − t₀) ≤ a` (with `K = 2·Kp`, `Mc = 2·Kp·‖σ0‖ + ‖b‖`) and the Picard-ball containment
+`closedBall σ0 a ⊆ locus`, the affine operator `A s = (reaction s) + b` admits a state-constrained
+Banach evolution local solution on the window `[t₀, T]`.

+# Tangent-bundle DeTurck reaction: section-space Picard coordinate bounds and `IsPicardLindelof`
+
+This module assembles the section-space Picard `hlip`/`hcenter` coordinate obligations for the concrete
+**tangent-bundle** DeTurck reaction operator `deTurckReactionSectionMap` (fiber-norm-free, hence
+formable at `W := TangentSpace I`), by connecting its model-fibre readout size bounds
+(`GeometricReactionCoordBounds`) to the `coord` language of the section-space Picard bridge through a
+**fiber-norm-free** coordinate-readout bridge.
+
+The existing coordinate-readout bridge `bilinearFormBundle_coord_eq_trivializationAt_readout` demands
+`[∀ x, SeminormedAddCommGroup (W x)]` (the Π-fibre-seminorm) as an explicit binder, which triggers the
+derived-module-vs-norm-module diamond at `W := TangentSpace I`.  The bridge
+`deTurckReactionSectionMap_coord_eq_readout` below reproves the identity **directly at the tangent
+bundle**, where the section-space seminorm `SeminormedAddCommGroup (BilW x)` is supplied per-`x` by the
+canonical tangent norm (a global instance) rather than a Π-binder, and the identity itself goes through
+the fiber-norm-free `coord_apply` and the `LocalCoordinatePositivity` trivialization lemmas.

+`A τ s = deTurckReactionSectionMap ∇W s + intrinsicRicciFlowRHSSectionSpace g t`, whose
+`IsPicardLindelof` datum is `deTurckFrozenGeometric_exists_isPicardLindelof` and whose uniform Lipschitz
+control is `deTurckReactionSectionMap_add_source_lipschitzOnWith_of_uniform_inCoordinates`, admits a
+Banach evolution local solution — anchored at the metric section `g₀.toSection` of a genuine continuous
+Riemannian metric `g₀`, constrained to the positive-definite locus, forward-unique on the overlap of
+Picard intervals — whose curve additionally stays in the *symmetric* positive-definite locus at every
+time of its interval.  The symmetric containment is obtained WITHOUT the chart's `geometric`
+identification field: it is fed purely by the frozen operator's velocity symmetry
+`deTurckFrozenGeometric_A_mem_symmetricLocus` (`A τ s ∈ symmetricLocus` for every section `s`) through
+the ODE symmetric-carrier invariance
+`exists_unique_in_symmetricPositiveDefiniteLocus_of_symmetricTimeDependentVectorField_isPicardLindelof_lipschitzOn`
+(the coordinatewise antisymmetric defect satisfies the same linear ODE, starts at `0` since `g₀` is
+symmetric, hence stays `0`).  This certifies the frozen geometric Banach solution curve is a genuine
+symmetric-positive-definite metric family — the realization-side consistency datum a `RicciDeTurckChart`
+closure needs for its `sol` to decode into an intrinsic metric evolution — available independently of
+the `geometric`/`realization` parabolic reconciliation. -/

+/-! ### Linearity of the frozen-coefficient DeTurck reaction operator (raw-function level)
+
+The frozen (coefficient-frozen) DeTurck reaction operator `deTurckReactionSectionMap … hP`, whose
+pointwise action `s x u v = s x (P x u) v + s x (P x v) u` is manifestly **linear** in the section `s`,
+is the bounded-linear generator whose autonomous resolvent `exp ((t - t₀) • ·)`
+(`AutonomousResolventExp`) is intended to supply the `SmoothMetricSectionCurveData.contMDiff`
+realization field of the frozen geometric chart.
+
+This section establishes the **raw-function-level linearity** of the underlying map
+`bilinearFormSectionDeTurckReaction` (`bilinearFormSectionDeTurckReaction_add`/`_smul`), proved at the
+canonical `BilinearFormBundle` fibre (fibre-diamond-free), together with the definitional bridge
+`deTurckReactionSectionMap_toFun` from the operator to that raw map.  These are the wall-free ingredients
+of the section-space `map_add'`/`map_smul'` linear packaging; the final packaging as a
+`ContinuousLinearMap` additionally requires transporting these through the `ContinuousSectionSpace`
+add/smul, which meets the `BilinearFormBundle` concreteness whnf wall on the *reaction sections* and is
+the remaining obstruction to the bundled `CSS →L[ℝ] CSS` generator. -/
+
+/-- **The raw (Pi-function-level) DeTurck reaction is additive in the section function.**  Proved at the
+canonical `BilinearFormBundle` fibre `BilW x = TM x →L[ℝ] TM x →L[ℝ] ℝ` (standard `ContinuousLinearMap`
+instances, *not* the transported section-space add), so `ContinuousLinearMap.add_apply` and `Pi.add_apply`
+reduce it to the scalar rearrangement `add_add_add_comm`.  This is the fibre-diamond-free core of the
+section-map additivity: it avoids the `ContinuousSectionSpace` transported-add whnf wall by working on the
+underlying `Π x, BilW x` function. -/

+# The one-dimensional Euclidean heat kernel
+
+This module begins the parabolic-regularity foundation needed for the
+Ricci–DeTurck Schauder estimates (roadmap point 4, uniqueness side).  Mathlib
+v4.29.1 contains no heat-kernel / parabolic-PDE theory, so this is built from the
+Gaussian-integral API.
+
+The 1D heat kernel is
+`heatKernel1D t x = (4 π t)^(-1/2) * exp (-x^2 / (4 t))` for `t > 0`.
+
+This first increment proves the genuinely-checkable analytic facts:
+
+* `heatKernel1D_pos` — strict positivity for `t > 0`;
+* `integral_heatKernel1D` — total mass `∫ x, heatKernel1D t x = 1` for `t > 0`,
+  obtained from `integral_gaussian`.
+
+Later increments will add the heat equation `∂ₜ K = ∂ₓₓ K`, the semigroup
+property, and the Hölder mapping estimates that feed the parabolic Schauder
+theory.

+/-! ### Second-order scalar short-time existence (1D Ricci–DeTurck model)
+
+The decisive step. The naive fixed point fails because `∂ₓₓ` is unbounded on C⁰ —
+the original obstruction. The resolution: take the SECOND DERIVATIVE `w := ∂ₓₓu` as
+the unknown. The Duhamel form becomes `w = β + ∂ₓₓHₜ((a−a₀)·w)` with `β = ∂ₓₓ(baseline)`,
+and the solution map `S(w) = β + ∂ₓₓHₜ((a−a₀)·w)` is a CONTRACTION on `ℝ →ᵇ ℝ`:
+`∂ₓₓHₜ` turns the unbounded operator into a smoothing GAIN (`‖∂ₓₓHₜg‖ ≤ ‖g‖/t`), and
+`(a−a₀)·w` has sup `≤ M·‖w‖`, so `|S(w)−S(w')| ≤ (M/t)·‖w−w'‖ < ‖w−w'‖` when `M < t`.

+/-- **Time-continuity of the Duhamel path.**  For a *continuous*, uniformly sup-norm-bounded
+`BCF`-valued source `q` (`‖q s y‖ ≤ C`), the Duhamel time integral
+`t ↦ ∫_{t₀}^{t} H_{t−s}(q s)(x) ds` is continuous at every `t₁ > t₀`.  This is the *singular*-endpoint
+companion of the propagator time-continuity `continuousAt_heatSemigroupND_shift_time`: the integrand
+`H_{t−s}(q s)(x)` is singular at the diagonal `s = t`, so plain dominated convergence in `s` fails.
+The proof substitutes `u = t − s` (`heatSemigroupND_duhamel_eq_comp_sub`), moving the singularity to
+the fixed heat time `u = 0`, and rewrites the substituted integral over the `t`-dependent domain
+`(0, t − t₀]` as a full-space integral of the indicator `u ↦ 1_{(0, t−t₀]}(u)·H_u(q(t−u))(x)`.  A
+dominated-convergence argument (`continuousAt_of_dominated`) then applies: the integrand is
+a.e.-measurable in `u` (`aestronglyMeasurable_heatSemigroupND_comp_sub`), dominated on a
+`t₁`-neighbourhood by the `t`-independent integrable envelope `1_{(0, t₁−t₀+1]}·C`
+(`abs_heatSemigroupND_le`), and continuous in `t` for a.e. `u`
+(`continuous_heatSemigroupND_comp_sub_time`, the indicator boundary set `{0, t₁−t₀}` being null).
+With the propagator (`continuousAt_heatSemigroupND_shift_time`) and Duhamel time-continuities in hand,
+the per-time contraction `norm_heatMildValueNDbcf_sub_le` upgrades to the path-space contraction that
+makes the mild-solution map a Banach fixed point on `C([t₀, T], (Fin n → ℝ) →ᵇ ℝ)`. -/

+of the homogeneous propagator continuity `continuousAt_heatFlowPathBcf`.

+into `∫_0^{t−t₀} H_u(q(t−u))(x) du`, where the heat time `u` is **decoupled** from `t`.  Splitting at

+/-- **Spatial `C¹` (Lipschitz) data-difference contraction of the model mild solution.**  The
+two-solution companion of `lipschitzWith_heatMildFixedPoint_apply`: for two genuine model mild
+solutions `z, w` (fixed points of `heatMildSelfMap` for the *same* reaction `Q`, but initial data
+`u₀, v₀`), the spatial modulus of their difference at any interior time `t₀ < t ≤ T` is controlled by
+the *initial-data* difference:
+`|(z(t)(x) − w(t)(x)) − (z(t)(x') − w(t)(x'))|
+    ≤ (n·‖u₀ − v₀‖/√(π(t−t₀)) + 2n·(Kstate·‖u₀ − v₀‖/(1 − Kstate(T−t₀)))·√(t−t₀)/√π)·‖x − x'‖`.
+The homogeneous propagator turns the merely-bounded data difference `‖u₀ − v₀‖` into a spatially
+Lipschitz difference at the `t^{-1/2}` smoothing rate, and the Duhamel term contributes the
+`√(t−t₀)` rate on the source difference, whose sup size is bounded by the reaction Lipschitz constant
+times the state-space distance of the two solutions
+`dist z w ≤ ‖u₀ − v₀‖/(1 − Kstate(T−t₀))` (`dist_heatMildFixedPoint_le`).  Since `z(t) = Φ₁(t)` and
+`w(t) = Φ₂(t)` are mild-solution values for the trajectory sources `s ↦ Q(z(projIcc s))`,
+`s ↦ Q(w(projIcc s))` (`heatMildFixedPoint_apply`), this is
+`heatMildValueNDbcf_sub_spatial_lipschitz_bound` applied to the two trajectories: the spatial-`C¹`
+half of the parabolic Schauder *contraction* on differences of genuine mild solutions — the
+difference-modulus estimate a Hölder-norm fixed-point argument for a mild Ricci–DeTurck representative

+# Parabolic `C^{0,1}` membership of the model mild solution
+
+The model heat-kernel theory in `HeatKernel1D.lean` proves, for the genuine mild solution `z`
+(any fixed point of `heatMildSelfMap`), a full parabolic space-time regularity suite away from the
+initial time `t₀`:
+
+* spatial `C¹` (Lipschitz) modulus `lipschitzWith_heatMildFixedPoint_apply`, and
+* time `Hölder-1/2` modulus `heatMildFixedPoint_apply_time_holder_bound`.
+
+The parabolic Hölder framework in `ParabolicHolder.lean` packages both moduli into a single class:
+`ParabolicC0AlphaOn 1` (parabolic-Lipschitz `C^{0,1}`) uses the parabolic distance
+`max (√|Δt|) (dist x x')`, so a spatial-Lipschitz bound and a time-`Hölder-1/2` bound combine
+exactly into the exponent-`1` parabolic Hölder estimate.
+
+This module bridges the two files: on any interior parabolic slab `Icc t_lo T ×ˢ univ` with
+`t₀ < t_lo`, the model mild solution belongs to `ParabolicC0AlphaOn 1`.  This is the canonical
+parabolic Hölder-class membership that the Schauder / smooth-realization side of the Ricci–DeTurck
+chart closure consumes (GAP 2 analytic core: the assembled space-time modulus in parabolic-class
+form).  The uniform constants are obtained by bounding the interior-time coefficients over
+`[t_lo, T]`.

+datum `u₀` and a `CQ`-bounded continuous reaction nonlinearity `Q`), on any interior parabolic slab
+`Icc t_lo T ×ˢ univ` bounded away from the initial time (`t₀ < t_lo ≤ T`), the time-space function

+
+The membership assembles the two interior regularity moduli of the mild solution into the parabolic
+distance `parabolicDistance p q = max (√|Δt|) (dist x x')`:
+
+* the spatial Lipschitz modulus `lipschitzWith_heatMildFixedPoint_apply` controls the `dist x x'`
+  direction with a coefficient uniformly bounded over `[t_lo, T]` by
+  `Ksp_max = n·‖u₀‖/√(π(t_lo−t₀)) + 2n·CQ·√(T−t₀)/√π`;
+* the `Hölder-1/2` time modulus `heatMildFixedPoint_apply_time_holder_bound` controls the `√|Δt|`
+  direction with a coefficient uniformly bounded over `[t_lo, T]` by `Ktm_coef` (the interior-time
+  coefficients bounded by their endpoint values, absorbing the linear `|Δt|` term into `√|Δt|` via
+  `|Δt| ≤ √(T−t_lo)·√|Δt|`).

+# Fractional Gaussian moments and Schauder cancellation
+
+This file begins the genuine Schauder upgrade of the Euclidean tensor heat
+model.  Its two basic ingredients are:
+
+* the exact `t^(r/2)` scaling of every integrable absolute Gaussian moment;
+* the zero-mass identity for each coordinate Hessian of the heat kernel.
+
+Together these turn convolution against a spatially `r`-Hölder datum into an
+integrable `t^(-1+r/2)` Hessian bound, rather than the nonintegrable `t⁻¹`
+bound available for merely bounded data.

+# IsEmpty-manifold Ricci-DeTurck Banach chart, closure data, and point-4 assembly
+
+This leaf module constructs the **first genuine inhabitants** of the two named structures on the
+Ricci-DeTurck chart-closure critical path — the time-dependent geometric Banach chart
+(`TimeDependentGeometricRicciDeTurckBanachChart`) and its closure data
+(`RicciDeTurckChartClosureData`) — on the empty-manifold sub-class, and feeds them through the
+already-proved bridge `intrinsicLocalExistenceUniquenessFamily_of_ricciDeTurckChartClosureData` to a
+genuine `IntrinsicLocalExistenceUniquenessFamily` witness.
+
+On `[IsEmpty M]` the continuous-section space is trivial, so the honest Banach representative of the
+Ricci-DeTurck operator can be taken to be the **constant field** at the initial section; every
+Picard-Lindelöf estimate is then either an equality (`‖·‖ ≤ ‖·‖₊`) or a constant-map bound, and the
+geometric identification, realization, and encoding obligations are all vacuous over the empty base.
+This exercises the whole chart → closure-data → bridge assembly end to end (the general
+positive-dimensional case additionally requires the parabolic Schauder a-priori bound that supplies a
+genuinely Lipschitz Banach representative).

+# Joint Regularity Upgrade via Interpolation
+
+This module proves the key reduction: uniform C² bounds + joint C⁰
+implies joint C¹, via the interpolation lemma.
+
+Given `F : ℝ → E → F'` with:
+- Each `F t` is C² on `ball x₀ R` with `‖D²(F t)‖ ≤ M₂` (uniform in `t`)
+- `(t,x) ↦ F t x` is jointly continuous
+
+Then `(t,x) ↦ D(F t)(x)` is jointly continuous.
+
+## Proof Strategy
+
+Fix `(t₀,x₁)`. For `(t,x)` near `(t₀,x₁)`:
+1. Set `H(y) = F t y - F t₀ y`. Then `‖H‖ ≤ M₀(t)` where `M₀(t) → 0`
+   as `t → t₀` by joint C⁰ (uniform on compact balls via `UniformSmallness`).
+2. `‖D²H(y)‖ ≤ 2M₂` by triangle inequality.
+3. Interpolation applied to `H` at `x`:
+   `‖D(F t)(x) - D(F t₀)(x)‖ = ‖DH(x)‖ ≤ 2M₀(t)/h + h(2M₂)`.
+4. Choose `h = √M₀(t)`: bound `= 2√M₀(t)·(1+M₂) → 0`.
+5. Combine with spatial continuity of `D(F t₀)` at `x₁` (from C² regularity).

+# The Euclidean matrix heat problem with fixed nonzero initial data
+
+This file complements the bounded linear zero-initial Duhamel operator with
+the homogeneous heat evolution of a prescribed matrix of bounded
+`C^{2,α}` data.  Their sum is the affine solution operator.  The construction
+retains a strong closed-time trace in the spatial `C_b` norm, the classical
+coefficientwise heat equation, symmetry, and an explicit Schauder bound.

+# The matrix-valued zero-initial Euclidean heat solution operator
+
+The scalar Duhamel inverse is applied to every matrix coefficient and the
+resulting genuine second jets are assembled into one matrix-valued element of
+the finite-cylinder `C^{2+α,1+α/2}` Banach space.  The construction is a
+bounded linear map, satisfies the coefficientwise heat equation, has a strong
+zero initial trace, and preserves symmetry.

+# Model-manifold raw `C³` gauge-flow existence from field-jet data (roadmap point 4, Item 2)
+
+The compact-manifold gauge-flow constructor of Item 2 consumes its flow data through
+`GaugeReduction/GaugeFlowAssembly.gaugeFlow_of_inverse_flow`, whose reduction target is a pair of
+mutually inverse, spatially-`ContMDiff I I 3` time-slice maps `F`, `G : ℝ → M → M` together with the
+anchoring `F t₀ = id` and the manifold ODE derivative equation
+`HasMFDerivWithinAt 𝓘(ℝ, ℝ) I (fun τ ↦ F τ x) s t ((1).smulRight (X t (F t x)))`.
+
+The Banach → manifold smooth-dependence tower (`AnalyticPDE/SmoothDependenceCk`,
+`AnalyticPDE/FlowDiffeomorphism`, `AnalyticPDE/SmoothDependenceManifold`) supplies **exactly** this
+data for the **model manifold** `M = E` (`𝓘(ℝ, E)`), where a time-dependent vector field
+`X : CovariantDerivative.TimeDependentVectorField 𝓘(ℝ, E) E` is definitionally an ordinary field
+`ℝ → E → E` (`TangentSpace 𝓘(ℝ, E) x = E`).  This module closes the last mile of that connection:
+from the `C^{3,1}` field jet of `v` alone (globally Lipschitz `v`, plus the Fréchet jet `Dv`, `D²v`,
+`D³v` with the standard global Lipschitz/continuity/compatibility bounds), the raw `C³` DeTurck
+gauge-flow structure `Diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn (X := v) s t₀` is **inhabited** for the model manifold
+`E`, on an *arbitrary* time set `s`.
+
+Because Item 2's general-manifold smooth-dependence theorem is proved chart-by-chart with each chart
+*the model space `E`*, this model-manifold gauge-flow existence is the load-bearing chart-level core
+of the general compact-manifold constructor: the remaining work upstream is the chart-patching that
+lives in the heavy `GaugeReduction/ModelGaugeFlowODE.lean` / `Diffeomorph3FlowExistence.lean`, not the
+per-chart flow existence, which is now available here.
+
+No new PDE or analytic content: a pure assembly of the already-proved model-manifold gauge-data
+bundle `exists_flow_contMDiff_three_gaugeData` into the consumer `gaugeFlow_of_inverse_flow`.  Nothing
+here touches the heavy gauge files.
+
+* `exists_diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn_of_field_jet` — the model-manifold (`M = E`) instance of Item 2's
+  raw `C³` gauge-flow existence target, from field-jet data alone.

+`v : ℝ → E → E`.  From its `C^{3,1}` jet — `v` globally `K`-Lipschitz and time-continuous, with the
+everywhere Fréchet derivatives `Dv`, `D²v` (in both continuous-linear `D2vc` and multilinear `D2vm`
+guises), `D³v` (`D3vm`/`D3v`), all globally Lipschitz / jointly continuous, and the standard

+structure `Diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn (X := v) s t₀` is inhabited on an arbitrary time set `s`.
+
+The flow data is the model-manifold gauge-data bundle `exists_flow_contMDiff_three_gaugeData`: the
+forward flow map `F t = (x ↦ Φ x t)` and its per-time smooth inverse `G t` supply the mutually
+inverse `ContMDiff I I 3` time slices, `Φ · t₀ = id` the anchoring, and the manifold integral-curve

+## Compact-support jet bounds for the bump-globalised gauge field (Item 2 GAP 1)
+
+The compact-manifold lift feeds `exists_diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn_of_contDiff` a field
+`v : ℝ → E → E` obtained by bump-cutting the chart pushforward field to a globally-`C^{3,1}`,
+compactly-supported representative.  Its hypotheses demand *uniform-in-time* Lipschitz bounds on the
+spatial-derivative fields `Dⁱ (v s)`.  These reduce to the following two purely model-space facts
+about a jointly-`ContDiff`, compactly-supported two-variable function `F = uncurry v`:
+
+* the `n`-th iterated derivative of a time slice `y ↦ F (s, y)` is dominated in norm by the full
+  `n`-th iterated derivative of `F` at `(s, y)` (`norm_iteratedFDeriv_prodMk_left_le`); and
+* consequently the slice iterated derivatives are **uniformly bounded** in `(s, y)` whenever `F` has
+  compact support (`exists_bound_iteratedFDeriv_prodMk_left`).
+
+Both are the reusable analytic core supplying the uniform jet bounds of the globalised field; no
+gauge-flow content.

+
+/-- **Norm slice bound for iterated derivatives of a two-variable function.**  The `n`-th iterated
+Fréchet derivative of the `s`-slice `y ↦ F (s, y)` of `F : ℝ × E → G` is bounded in norm by the full
+`n`-th iterated derivative of `F` at `(s, y)`.
+
+The slice factors as `(fun p ↦ F (p + (s, 0))) ∘ inr` with `inr : E →L[ℝ] ℝ × E` the norm-`≤ 1`
+inclusion `y ↦ (0, y)`; iterated differentiation of that composition
+(`ContinuousLinearMap.iteratedFDeriv_comp_right`) precomposes the full iterated derivative with `inr`
+in every slot, and the constant shift moves the base point from `inr x` to `(s, x)`
+(`iteratedFDeriv_comp_add_right`).  Taking norms with `‖inr‖ ≤ 1` gives the bound. -/

+(`Φ 0 = id`), the step-(v) agreement `extChartAt I p (Φ t₀ x) = (G.maps3 t₀) (extChartAt I p x)` holds at

+(GAP-1 step (v) capstone assembly).**  This is the FINAL step-(v) assembly: from the two field-jet

+product-tangent smoothness `hXraw` feeding the raw manifold flow, and the *local* `C^N` (`N ≥ 4`)
+tangent-bundle smoothness `hXchart` on the chart source feeding the model comparison flow), a cutoff
+`χ` that is `≡ 1` near a compact window `Kwin`, and the two field-analytic residuals — the chart
+pushforward field's Lipschitz control on the state tube `state₀` (`hlip`) and the initial-data
+placement (`hplace_state`, `hplace_win`) — it produces the raw manifold gauge flow `Φ` and an honest
+open time window `Set.Ioo a b ∋ 0` on which every time slice `Φ t` is `ContMDiffOn I I 3` on the patch
+`U`.
+
+The proof wires together the two field-to-faces bundles committed for GAP 1:
+`exists_timeDependent_flow_compact_extChartAt_source_and_mem` (raw side: `Φ`, `hγ`, `hγ_src`, `hγ_mem`

+`isCompact_extChartAt_image`); it intersects their two time windows (`max`/`min` endpoints), takes the
+common anchor `0` — at which `heq` holds for free (`extChartAt_flow_eq_maps3_at_zero`) — and feeds all
+six orbit-control faces into `contMDiffOn_flowSlice_of_cutoff_orbit_control` with `sTime = Set.univ`
+(so `hnhds` is `Filter.univ_mem`) and constant `state τ = state₀`.  Only the field-analytic residuals
+`hlip` / `hplace_*` and the two field jets remain as hypotheses — exactly the GAP-1 step-(v) residual
+the plan isolates before the finite-cover globalisation. -/

+/-- **Per-patch slice-`C³` for a GIVEN global compact flow (the finite-cover globalisation enabler).**
+The `Φ`-input variant of `contMDiffOn_flowSlice_perPatch_of_field_jets`: rather than *constructing* the
+raw manifold flow from the field jet, it takes the global compact time-dependent flow `Φ` — the output
+of `exists_timeDependent_flow_compact_continuousAt` (anchored `Φ 0 = id`, orbit ODE on `Ioo (-ε) ε`,
+joint continuity at every anchor `(0, x)`) — as a HYPOTHESIS, and produces the per-patch slice-`C³`
+window for THAT same `Φ`.
+
+This decoupling is exactly what the finite-cover globalisation needs: one global flow `Φ` is constructed
+once (from the DeTurck gauge field jet), and this lemma is applied on each chart patch of a finite cover
+to lift the model `C³` tower to `ContMDiffOn I I 3 (Φ t)` on each patch — all for the *same* `Φ`, whose
+per-patch windows then intersect (finite cover ⇒ neighbourhood of `0`) and glue to a global
+`ContMDiff I I 3 (Φ t)`.  The proof feeds the raw-manifold confinement
+`exists_Ioo_forall_forall_extChartAt_source_and_mem_of_continuousAt` (from `Φ`'s joint continuity), the
+model-side face producer `exists_diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn_Ioo_cutoff_eqOne_and_state_mem`, and the
+orbit ODE (`.mono`-restricted from the `Ioo (-ε) ε` window) into
+`contMDiffOn_flowSlice_of_cutoff_orbit_control`, intersecting the three time windows explicitly.  No
+`[CompactSpace M]` is required here — compactness enters only in the global flow existence and the

+/-- **Window-restricted Lipschitz variant of `contMDiffOn_flowSlice_perPatch_of_flow`.**  Identical to
+`contMDiffOn_flowSlice_perPatch_of_flow` except the field-Lipschitz control `hlip` is required only on a
+fixed bounded time window `Set.Icc c d` (with `0 ∈ Set.Ioo c d`) rather than for *all* `τ : ℝ`.  Because
+the per-patch capstone only ever uses the Lipschitz bound on the (bounded) time window it internally
+builds, this weaker hypothesis suffices — and it is exactly the shape produced by
+`GaugeFlowAssembly.exists_lipschitzOnWith_forall_mem_Icc_chartPushforwardField`, which delivers a
+Lipschitz bound for `chartPushforwardField` only on a compact time interval `Set.Icc a b`, not for all
+time.  The proof simply intersects the internally-built slice-`C³` window with `Set.Ioo c d`, so every
+`τ` fed to `hlip` lies in `Set.Icc c d`.  This removes the artificial `∀ τ : ℝ` impedance mismatch that
+blocked feeding the bounded-time field-Lipschitz lemma into the step-(v) globalisation. -/

+/-- **Global forward-slice `C³` producer from per-patch diffeomorph comparison data (for a given flow).**
+The forward-slice (`Φ t`) analogue of
+`exists_Ioo_forall_contMDiff_symm_of_comparison_finite_cover_of_flow`: composes the windowed forward
+per-patch producer `contMDiffOn_flowSlice_perPatch_of_flow_comparison` on each patch `i` of a finite open
+cover with the forward finite-cover gluer `exists_Ioo_forall_contMDiff_of_finite_cover` (which glues the
+per-patch `ContMDiffOn (Φ t) (U i)` to global `ContMDiff I I 3 (Φ t)` via
+`contMDiff_of_locally_contMDiffOn`).  Unlike the backward producer it needs NO reference-window
+topological data (no continuity/surjectivity/left-inverse of `Φ t`).  Delivers the forward conjunct
+`∃ c d, 0 ∈ Set.Ioo c d ∧ ∀ t ∈ Set.Ioo c d, ContMDiff I I 3 (Φ t)` of the `hslicesC3` hypothesis, from
+the SAME per-patch diffeomorph comparison supply the backward producer consumes. -/

+/-- **Paired global slice-`C³` producer with the inverse-slice continuity BOOTSTRAPPED from the forward
+slice.**  Same as `exists_flowSlicesC3Pair_of_comparison_finite_cover_of_flow` but it does NOT take the
+per-slice continuity `hΦcont : ∀ t ∈ …, Continuous (Φ t)` as a hypothesis — it DERIVES it from the forward
+producer's output (`ContMDiff I I 3 (Φ t) ⟹ Continuous (Φ t)` via `ContMDiff.continuous`).  Concretely:
+the forward global producer supplies a window `Set.Ioo c₁ d₁ ∋ 0` on which every `Φ t` is `C³`; the
+reference window handed to the backward producer is shrunk to
+`Set.Ioo (max lo c₁) (min hi d₁) ⊆ Set.Ioo lo hi ∩ Set.Ioo c₁ d₁`, on which the surjectivity/left-inverse
+data restrict from `Set.Ioo lo hi` and the continuity is read off from the forward `C³`.
+
+The upshot: the ONLY topological inputs are the slice surjectivity `hΦsurj` and left inverse `hGleft` —
+exactly the `hright` (⟹ surjective) and `hleft` faces the `hslicesC3` hypothesis of
+`GaugeFlowAssembly.exists_pos_diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn_of_compact_of_flowAsymSubwindowSlicesC3` supplies
+for an arbitrary flow pair `(Φ, G)`.  So discharging that `hslicesC3` from this producer needs only the
+per-patch diffeomorph comparison packages — no separately-argued per-slice continuity. -/

+# The parabolic `C^{0,α}` Banach space
+
+`Parabolic/FunctionSpace.lean` exhibits the parabolic `C^{0,α}` functions on a time-space set `s` as a
+**complete seminormed real vector space** (a semi-Banach space): the submodule
+`parabolicC0AlphaSubmodule X E α s` carries the bundled seminormed structure
+`parabolicC0AlphaSubmodule.seminormedAddCommGroup`, the completeness fact
+`parabolicC0AlphaSubmodule.completeSpace`, and the scalar structure
+`parabolicC0AlphaSubmodule.normedSpace`.  Those are supplied as `def`s rather than global instances
+because the underlying function-space subtype already carries the *pointwise product* topology; the
+seminorm topology has to live on a dedicated carrier that displaces it.
+
+This module supplies that carrier and the resulting **genuine Banach space**.
+
+* `ParabolicC0AlphaSpace X E α s` — a type synonym for the parabolic `C^{0,α}` submodule whose
+  *canonical* `SeminormedAddCommGroup` / `NormedSpace ℝ` / `CompleteSpace` instances are the parabolic
+  Hölder ones (not the ambient pointwise ones).  This is the semi-Banach space as a first-class type.
+* `ParabolicC0AlphaBanach X E α s := SeparationQuotient (ParabolicC0AlphaSpace X E α s)` — the honest
+  **separated** parabolic `C^{0,α}` normed space: functions modulo agreement on `s` (`‖·‖ = 0 ↔ · = 0`).
+  Mathlib's separation-quotient machinery upgrades the complete seminormed structure to a genuine
+  `NormedAddCommGroup` + `CompleteSpace` + `NormedSpace ℝ` — i.e. a **Banach space**.
+* `ParabolicC0AlphaBanach.mk` — the quotient projection, with the norm readout
+  `‖mk u‖ = parabolicC0AlphaNorm α u s`.
+
+Everything is proved sorry-free; axioms `propext`/`Classical.choice`/`Quot.sound` only.  This closes
+the "only point separation remains for the genuine Banach instance" gap for the parabolic Hölder
+function space (the `C^0`-level function-space realisation the Ricci–DeTurck Banach chart consumes).

+/-! ### Precomposition (change-of-variables) norm bounds
+
+The operator underlying gluing across overlapping charts, the DeTurck gauge-diffeomorphism action,
+and parabolic Schauder scaling is precomposition `u ↦ u ∘ φ` by a map `φ : ℝ × Y → ℝ × X` of the
+space-time base.  The three lemmas below control the parabolic `C^{0,α}` norm of `u ∘ φ` when `φ`
+maps `t` into `s` and expands parabolic distance by at most a factor `L`.  They are the norm-level
+core the bounded precomposition operator `precompL` is built on (generalising `restrictL`, which is
+the special case `φ = ` inclusion, `L = 1`). -/
+
+/-- **Precomposition does not increase the parabolic sup norm.**  If `φ` maps `t` into `s`, then the
+sup norm of `u ∘ φ` on `t` is at most the sup norm of `u` on `s`. -/

+/-! ### Well-posedness of the quasilinear Ricci–DeTurck solution

+Ricci–DeTurck fixed-point equation `A u + N u + f = u` (bounded-linear principal-plus-lower-order
+part `A`, nonlinear `k`-Lipschitz remainder `N`, frozen data `f`) whenever the combined contraction
+constant is subunital, `‖A‖ + k < 1`.  The following lemmas are the **well-posedness data** the
+Ricci–DeTurck chart-closure consumes: the continuous (Lipschitz) dependence of the solution on the
+frozen data `f`, its a-priori norm bound, its stability under a uniform perturbation of the
+nonlinearity, and the bundled solution operator `f ↦ u(f)` as a genuine Lipschitz map. -/

+Ricci–DeTurck equation `A u + N u + f = u` (linear part `A`, `k`-Lipschitz nonlinearity `N`,
+contraction constant `‖A‖ + k < 1`), two solutions `u₁`, `u₂` corresponding to frozen data `f₁`,
+`f₂` obey `‖u₁ - u₂‖ ≤ ‖f₁ - f₂‖ / (1 - (‖A‖ + k))`.  So the Ricci–DeTurck solution depends
+Lipschitz-continuously on the inhomogeneous data — the well-posedness estimate underlying the
+chart's continuous dependence on the (frozen) initial data.  Generalises the affine
+`norm_affineSolveL_apply_sub_le` (`N = 0`) to the genuine quasilinear right-hand side. -/

+/-! ### Banach fixed point on a closed ball, and the quadratic Ricci–DeTurck short-time existence
+
+The `affinePlusLipschitz` solver above needs a *globally* Lipschitz nonlinearity.  The genuine
+Ricci–DeTurck nonlinearity is *quadratic* (`u ↦ mulBilinL L u u`), only **locally** Lipschitz.  The
+following localise the Banach fixed-point theorem to a closed ball (a complete metric subspace of the
+parabolic Banach space) and apply it to the quadratic right-hand side, giving the honest short-time /
+small-ball existence for the quadratic nonlinearity. -/
+
+/-- **Banach fixed point on a closed ball.**  A self-map `g` of a closed ball `closedBall c r`
+(`0 ≤ r`) that is `LipschitzOnWith K` on the ball with `K < 1` has a fixed point in the ball.  The
+closed ball is complete (closed in the complete parabolic Banach space), so the
+contraction-on-a-complete-subset Banach fixed-point theorem (`ContractingWith.exists_fixedPoint'`)
+applies.  This is the abstract short-time small-ball existence: whenever a nonlinear parabolic
+Ricci–DeTurck right-hand side preserves and contracts a small ball around the initial data, it has a
+(chart) solution in that ball. -/

+# The parabolic `C^{2+α,1+α/2}` Banach space on a finite cylinder
+
+For the Cauchy problem the relevant norm is taken on `(t₀,T] × X`, while
+the classical time derivative is required on the open time interval
+`(t₀,T)`.  Spatial derivatives remain genuine full Fréchet derivatives at
+every time in `(t₀,T]`.  This file constructs the resulting space as a
+closed derivative graph inside four parabolic `C^{0,α}` Banach spaces.
+
+The distinction between the normed cylinder and its time interior is
+essential: it gives a complete carrier without postulating a derivative at
+the initial time, exactly matching the classical parabolic initial-value
+problem.

+# Short-time lower-order interpolation on finite cylinders
+
+A genuine finite-cylinder `C^{2+α,1+α/2}` jet has more regularity than is
+visible in either lower-order component alone. Its value is parabolically
+Lipschitz from the first spatial and time derivatives, and its spatial
+derivative is parabolically Lipschitz from the Hessian and time derivative
+by a finite-difference argument.
+
+For a zero-initial jet, the canonical endpoint trace makes the sup norm of
+the spatial derivative small. Interpolating that small sup bound with the
+uniform Lipschitz bound gives a genuinely small full `C^{0,α}` norm.

+# Initial traces on finite parabolic cylinders
+
+A parabolic `C^{0,α}` class on `(t₀,T] × X` has a canonical bounded-continuous
+trace at the missing initial face.  This file packages that trace as a bounded
+linear map and, by projection to the value component, defines the initial trace
+of a genuine finite-cylinder `C^{2+α,1+α/2}` jet.
+
+The trace is obtained from the endpoint completion constructed in
+`FiniteSourceExtension`; no boundary value is chosen independently of the
+positive-time function.

+# Lower-order operators on finite parabolic cylinders
+
+This file packages the analytic form of the error produced by spatial
+cutoffs and changes of bundle frame.  Such an error contains no second
+spatial derivative of the unknown: it is a `C^{0,α}` coefficient acting on
+the first spatial derivative, plus a `C^{0,α}` coefficient acting on the
+value.
+
+The resulting map is a genuine bounded linear operator from the finite
+`C^{2+α,1+α/2}` jet space to the finite-cylinder source space.  Its
+estimate is deliberately stated in terms of the norms of the value and
+first-derivative projections.  Consequently the zero-initial short-time
+interpolation estimates make the whole lower-order operator small.

+# Extension of finite-cylinder parabolic Hölder data
+
+A source on `(t₀,T] × X` has a unique uniform limit at `t₀` in the
+bounded-continuous spatial norm.  We extend to `[t₀,T]`, clamp in time, and
+obtain a bounded global `C^{0,α}` source.  The construction is linear, is a
+right inverse to restriction, and has operator norm at most three.
+
+This removes the global-source convenience hypothesis from the Euclidean
+Duhamel inverse: every genuine finite-cylinder datum has a controlled global
+extension.

+# The global parabolic `C^{2+α,1+α/2}` Banach space
+
+The higher parabolic predicates record genuine derivative witnesses, but an
+operator-theoretic Schauder argument also needs a complete normed carrier.
+This file constructs that carrier on the full coordinate space.
+
+An element is a quadruple `(u, Dₓu, Dₓ²u, ∂ₜu)` in four already-complete
+parabolic `C^{0,α}` Banach spaces, subject to the three genuine derivative
+relations.  The derivative graph is closed: convergence in the `C^{0,α}`
+norm implies uniform convergence, so the standard uniform-limit theorem for
+derivatives passes all three relations to the limit.  The resulting closed
+submodule is therefore a genuine Banach space.
+
+This construction makes no regularity assumption disappear into a typeclass:
+the spatial first derivative, spatial second derivative, and time derivative
+are all exposed by bounded coordinate projections, and their defining
+calculus identities are theorems about every element of the space.

+# Fixed-coefficient linear second-order parabolic operators
+
+This file packages the coordinate operator produced by a connection
+Laplacian in a local bundle frame.  Its coefficients act on the spatial
+Hessian, spatial gradient, and value of a genuine `ParabolicSecondJet`:
+
+`L u = A(D²u) + B(Du) + C(u)`.
+
+The main estimates prove directly that `L` maps parabolic
+`C^{2+α,1+α/2}` control to `C^{0,α}` control and that the fixed
+coefficient operator is Lipschitz on differences.  The latter is the exact
+input for the frozen-coefficient Duhamel contraction used in a manifold
+parametrix.

+This module connects the geometric local-frame Gram determinant facts to the
+finite matrix-valued parabolic `C^{0,α}` closure API.  It stays on the analytic
+PDE side of the import graph so the core Levi-Civita geometry layer does not

+For a spatial coefficient `F`, center `c`, scale `r`, and fixed normalized
+cutoff `χ`, the centered field
+
+`y ↦ χ y • (F (c + r • y) - F c)`
+
+has parabolic `C^{0,α}` norm of order `|r|`.  Compact support is used
+quantitatively through a support radius.  This is what makes freezing a
+principal coefficient on the all-space finite cylinder legitimate: affine

+# Two-sided parabolic parametrices
+
+This file isolates the functional-analytic step in the manifold Schauder
+construction.  If `P : U → F` has an approximate inverse `Q : F → U`, and
+both defects
+
+`1 - P Q : F → F` and `1 - Q P : U → U`
+
+have norm strictly below one, their Neumann series correct `Q` to the unique
+bounded inverse of `P`.  The resulting solution operator carries an explicit
+Schauder bound.
+
+The statement is deliberately between two different Banach spaces: in the
+geometric application `U` is the higher parabolic tensor space (including the
+initial trace) and `F` is the forcing/initial-data space.  No assumptions are
+not hidden here: the two small-error inequalities are precisely what the
+finite atlas, cutoffs, frozen Euclidean heat operators, and commutator bounds
+must establish.

+# Lower-order coefficients produced by a scalar cutoff
+
+This file isolates the elementary operator algebra behind a second-order
+cutoff commutator.  If `u` is multiplied by a scalar `χ`, the second spatial
+jet contains the original jet multiplied by `χ`, two gradient cross terms,
+and a Hessian-times-value term.  Consequently every second-order linear
+operator loses its principal part in the commutator and leaves a canonical
+first-plus-zeroth-order operator.

+/-! ### Schauder scaling estimates

+`parabolicDistance_dilation` gives ready-to-use estimates: precomposition with the dilation
+preserves the parabolic Hölder / `C^{0,α}` classes, scaling the Hölder constant by `|r| ^ α`. -/

+change of variables `p ↦ c + (r ^ 2 * p.1, r • p.2)`, which normalizes a parabolic ball about an
+arbitrary center `c` to the origin.  By `parabolicDistance_add_left` the translation is an
+isometry for the parabolic distance, so the centered dilation still expands parabolic distance by
+exactly `|r|`; the Schauder scaling estimates therefore carry over verbatim, with the same
+`|r| ^ α` Hölder-constant factor.  This is the change of variables underlying the interior
+Schauder estimate, where the estimate on a ball about an interior point is reduced to the

+`parabolicDistance a q < ρ` is only preserved by the affine chart when the dilation factor is
+*strictly* positive, the open-domain lemmas require `r ≠ 0` (the closed-domain ones held for all
+`r`, since a nonnegative factor preserves `≤`).  With `r ≠ 0` the affine chart is a bijection of

+
+With the open-domain change of variables in place, the affine Schauder normalization and
+de-normalization `C^{0,α}`/Hölder estimates are available on the open parabolic ball and cylinder
+shapes, exactly paralleling the closed-domain estimates.  Normalization uses the forward chart to
+transport `C^{0,α}` control on an open ball (cylinder) about the target center `c` to the rescaled
+open ball (cylinder) about the source center `a`; de-normalization uses the inverse chart to run in
+the reverse direction.  All the open-domain estimates require `r ≠ 0`, inherited from the
+open-domain `Set.MapsTo` lemmas. -/

+`closure`, `interior`, and `frontier`.  Combined with the exact image identities for the parabolic
+ball and cylinder shapes, this transports the *topological* boundary data of those shapes between
+the source and target scales, as needed when a Schauder rescaling argument must move the closure of
+an open cylinder, the interior of a closed cylinder, or their frontiers, rather than only the shapes
+themselves.  This is the topological counterpart, at the level of `closure`/`interior`/`frontier`,
+of the `affineChart_image_*` set-equality lemmas above. -/

+## Reverse assembly of parabolic Hölder control from separate space and time control
+
+The `space_slice` and `time_slice_half_exponent` readouts extract, from a parabolic `α`-Hölder
+estimate, spatial `α`-Hölder control (uniform in time) and temporal `α/2`-Hölder control (uniform
+in space).  The following primitives run the *converse* direction: on a set that contains the mixed
+corner `(τ, x)` of any two of its points `(t, x)` and `(τ, y)` (a "corner-closed" set, e.g. a
+parabolic ball or cylinder, which is a product of a time interval and a spatial ball), separate
+spatial and temporal Hölder control reassemble into full parabolic Hölder control with the summed
+constant.  This is the standard way parabolic Schauder estimates are obtained: control the space and
+time regularity separately and then combine.
+-/
+

+
+Realizing the parabolic `C^{0,α}` control predicates as genuine `ℝ`-valued functionals is the
+first packaging step toward the parabolic Hölder *Banach space* (completeness of which is the
+inheritance step recorded above).  We take the seminorm/`sup`-norm to be the least admissible
+constant, `sInf` of the (closed, upward) set of valid constants.  The defining set is bounded below
+by `0` and, when the function lies in the class, nonempty; the infimum is then *achieved* (it is
+itself a valid constant), so these functionals are honest least Hölder/sup constants rather than
+mere lower bounds.

+/-! ### Short-time smallness from initial vanishing
+
+The parabolic `C^{0,α}` norm of a function that vanishes at the initial time is small on a thin
+time-slab.  Because the parabolic distance from `(t, x)` to `(t₀, x)` is `√|t - t₀|`, a Hölder
+estimate against the (zero) initial value bounds `‖u (t, x)‖` by `[u]_α · (√T)^α = [u]_α · T^{α/2}`
+on the slab `|t - t₀| ≤ T`.  This is the analytic mechanism turning a seminorm (Schauder) a-priori
+bound into a genuine short-time contraction of the Ricci–DeTurck fixed point: the difference of two
+solutions vanishes at the initial time, so its full norm is controlled by its Hölder seminorm times
+a factor `→ 0` (sup part) / `→ 1` (full norm) as the slab thickness `T → 0`. -/

+`‖u (t, x)‖ ≤ C · (√T)^α`.  The mechanism by which a function that is zero at the initial time is
+uniformly small on a thin time-slab. -/

+/-! ### Space/time decomposition of parabolic Hölder regularity
+
+The parabolic distance is `max (√|Δt|) (dist_x)`, so a parabolic `α`-Hölder estimate restricts, at a
+fixed time, to a spatial `α`-Hölder estimate and, at a fixed space point, to a temporal `α/2`-Hölder
+estimate.  Conversely, separate spatial-`α` and temporal-`α/2` control reassemble into parabolic
+`α`-Hölder control on a set closed under mixing time/space coordinates (a parabolic cylinder).  These
+projections and the reconstruction are the structural characterisation of parabolic Hölder spaces
+that the Schauder theory rests on. -/

+/-- **Spatial projection of parabolic Hölder control.**  At a fixed time `t`, a parabolic `α`-Hölder
+function is spatially `α`-Hölder with the same constant: `‖u (t, x) - u (t, y)‖ ≤ C · dist x y ^ α`. -/

+# Parabolic Hölder AM–GM (Young) interpolation (roadmap point 4, Item 3)
+
+`AnalyticPDE/ParabolicHolder.lean` proves the multiplicative interpolation inequality
+`parabolicHolderWith_interpolation`:
+
+  `[u]_{α θ} ≤ (2 · sup)^{1 − θ} · [u]_α^θ`.
+
+This module refines that multiplicative bound into the **additive (Young / weighted arithmetic–
+geometric mean) form** that parabolic Schauder estimates use to *absorb lower-order terms*.  Applying
+the weighted AM–GM inequality `p₁^{w₁} · p₂^{w₂} ≤ w₁ p₁ + w₂ p₂` (with weights `w₁ = 1 − θ`,
+`w₂ = θ`) to the two interpolation factors turns the product into a convex combination:
+
+  `[u]_{α θ} ≤ (1 − θ) · (2 · sup) + θ · [u]_α`,
+
+and — genuinely load-bearing for the fixed point — with a free scaling parameter `κ > 0`, the
+*absorbing* form
+
+  `[u]_{α θ} ≤ (1 − θ) · κ^{−θ/(1−θ)} · (2 · sup) + θ κ · [u]_α`,
+
+whose coefficient `θ κ` on the top seminorm `[u]_α` can be made arbitrarily small at the cost of a
+large multiple of the sup norm — exactly the mechanism that lets an intermediate parabolic Hölder
+seminorm be swallowed by a small fraction of the leading seminorm plus a controlled `C^0` remainder.
+
+This is a leaf module (nothing in the project imports it yet): the only heavy dependency is
+`Mathlib.Analysis.MeanInequalities`, kept out of the widely-imported `ParabolicHolder` file so that
+adding it does not trigger a rebuild of the downstream parabolic function-space tower.
+
+* `parabolicHolderWith_interpolation_add` / `_le` — the additive and uniform (`≤ 2·sup + [u]_α`)
+  interpolation constants at the `ParabolicHolderWith` level.
+* `parabolicHolderSeminorm_interpolation_add_le` — the additive interpolation at the seminorm-
+  functional level.
+* `parabolicHolderWith_interpolation_absorb` / `parabolicHolderSeminorm_interpolation_absorb_le` —
+  the `κ`-scaled *absorbing* form and its seminorm functional.
+
+All proofs are pure norm/rpow/AM–GM algebra; no Schauder or heat-kernel content.  Axiom-clean
+(`propext` / `Classical.choice` / `Quot.sound`).

+# Pointwise scalar evaluation of tangent bilinear-form section curves
+
+For the tangent-bundle bilinear-form continuous section space
+`CSS := ContinuousSectionSpace … (fun i ↦ trivializationAt BilF BilW (x0 i)) Kc …` (the space the
+concrete geometric Ricci–DeTurck chart operator and its frozen affine evolution act on), the *scalar
+pointwise evaluation* `s ↦ s x u v` — evaluate the section at `x`, then feed the resulting fibrewise
+bilinear form the two tangent vectors `u v : TangentSpace I x` — is a **continuous linear functional**
+`CSS →L[ℝ] ℝ`.
+
+It is built **diamond-free**, on the hom-fibre-topology (Path B) track that `s` itself carries:
+
+* the finite-dimensional **model coordinate readout** `coordReadoutContinuousLinearMap … : CSS →L[ℝ] BilF`
+  (whose codomain carries the clean model-fibre norm on `E →L[ℝ] E →L[ℝ] ℝ`), followed by
+* the trivialization's fibrewise **linear** inverse `Trivialization.symmₗ` (which needs only `IsLinear`
+  and the fibre module structure — *no* fibre `NormedAddCommGroup` — supplied here by
+  `trivializationAt_bilinearFormBundle_isLinear`), whose coordinate identity is discharged by the
+  hom-fibre `coord_apply_tangent` (not the seminormed-track `coord_apply`, which resolves the fibre
+  topology to `PseudoMetricSpace…` and triggers the transported-instance diamond), followed by
+* the fibrewise bilinear evaluation `bilinearFormEvalₗ`.
+
+Because `BilF` is finite-dimensional, the composed bare `ℝ`-linear map is automatically continuous
+(`LinearMap.toContinuousLinearMap`).
+
+The payoff is `hasDerivAt_scalarEval_of_hasDerivAt`: a `HasDerivAt` of a `CSS`-valued curve pushes
+through the scalar evaluation to a genuine scalar `HasDerivAt (fun τ ↦ f τ x u v) (f' x u v) t` — the
+scalar section-curve `HasDerivAt` datum the smooth-realization endpoint time-derivative obligations
+(`hasTimeDerivativeAt_of_sectionCurve_hasDerivAt`) consume, including at the interval endpoints where
+the interior Banach ODE does not by itself supply a full `HasDerivAt`.

+# Section-space Picard–Lindelöf constructor (route (ii))
+
+The `picard` field of a `TimeDependentGeometricRicciDeTurckBanachChart` asks for
+`IsPicardLindelof A` for the time-dependent Banach representative `A` on the
+`ContinuousSectionSpace`.  Roadmap point 4 route (ii) supplies this through the
+Banach-space Picard–Lindelöf foundation
+`RicciFlow.AnalyticPDE.isPicardLindelof_of_bounded_lipschitz_timeDependent_Icc`, whose
+hypotheses are boundedness, uniform Lipschitzness and time-continuity of `A`.
+
+This module assembles the three coordinate→section handoffs proved in `ContinuousSection.lean`
+(`norm_le_of_forall_coord_norm_le`, `lipschitzWith_of_forall_coord_dist_le`,
+`continuousOn_of_forall_coord_continuousOn`) with that foundation into a single constructor
+`isPicardLindelof_continuousSectionSpace_of_forall_coord`: from *coordinatewise* (local
+trivialization readout) boundedness, Lipschitz and continuity data it produces
+`IsPicardLindelof A` in exactly the interval/anchor/constant shape consumed by the chart's
+`picard` field.  This is the section-space `picard`-field constructor for the mild/regularised
+Ricci–DeTurck chart.

+The cleanest honest form of the chart's `picard` field: its only analytic inputs are stated purely
+at the *section-space (finite-cover Banach norm)* level, with no reference to the compact coordinate
+readouts.  On a reference window `Icc t₀ T₀`, from
+* `hlip` — for each `t ∈ Icc t₀ T₀` the time-slice operator `A t` is `K`-`LipschitzOnWith` on the
+  section-space ball `closedBall x0 a`, and
+* `hcont` — for each section `s ∈ closedBall x0 a` the time-curve `t ↦ A t s` is `ContinuousOn`
+  `(Icc t₀ T₀)` in the section-space norm,
+
+a forward Picard endpoint `T ∈ (t₀, T₀]` and centre size `Mc` are produced for which `A` is
+`IsPicardLindelof` with radius `a`, Lipschitz `K`, and bound `Mc + K·a`.  The coordinatewise
+hypotheses of `exists_forwardTime_isPicardLindelof_continuousSectionSpace_of_forall_coord_continuousOn`
+are discharged from these section-space ones by the `1`-Lipschitz coordinate readout:
+`coord_dist_le_dist` turns the ball-local `LipschitzOnWith` estimate into the pointwise coordinate
+`hlip`, and `continuousOn_coord_of_continuousOn` turns section-space time-continuity into the

+/-- **Section-space Picard–Lindelöf endpoint chooser for a bounded-linear generator family with a
+continuous source** — the honest *mild-operator* interface for the chart's `picard` field.
+
+If the time-dependent operator has the affine "generator + source" shape `A t s = L t s + b t`,
+where `L t : CSS →L[ℝ] CSS` is a *bounded* linear operator on the continuous-section Banach space
+with a uniform operator-norm bound `‖L t‖ ≤ K` on `[t₀, T₀]`, the family is *strongly continuous* in
+time (`t ↦ L t s` continuous on `[t₀, T₀]` for each `s`), and the source `b` is continuous on
+`[t₀, T₀]`, then a forward endpoint `T > t₀` can be chosen so that
+
+`IsPicardLindelof A ⟨t₀,_⟩ x0 a 0 (Mc + K·a) K`
+
+holds — the chart's exact `picard` shape, with Lipschitz constant `K`.
+
+This is precisely the structure a *regularised* (mild) geometric Ricci–DeTurck operator has: a bounded
+generator on the section space plus a `g₀`-dependent inhomogeneity.  It therefore reduces the chart's
+`picard` field to *exhibiting the bounded linear generator family `L`, its operator-norm bound, its
+strong continuity, and the continuous source `b`* — no bundle-distortion or coordinate bookkeeping
+survives, because `A t` is affine and the Lipschitz constant is read directly off the operator norm.
+
+The `LipschitzOnWith` hypothesis of
+`exists_forwardTime_isPicardLindelof_continuousSectionSpace_of_lipschitzOnWith_continuousOn` is
+discharged by the affine identity `dist (L t s + b t) (L t s' + b t) = dist (L t s) (L t s') =
+‖L t (s − s')‖ ≤ ‖L t‖ · ‖s − s'‖ ≤ K · dist s s'`; the time-continuity hypothesis is the strong

+`L := Mc + K·a` (the bound) and `Kpic := K` (the Lipschitz constant).
+
+The mild (regularised) generator data are: `L t : CSS →L[ℝ] CSS` a bounded linear operator with
+uniform operator-norm bound `‖L t‖ ≤ K` on `[t₀, T]`, strong time continuity of `L`, a continuous
+source `b`, a coordinate centre bound `‖(L t x0 + b t)ᵢ x‖ ≤ Mc` on the window, and the time-radius
+compatibility `(Mc + K·a)·(T − t₀) ≤ a`.  The affine identity discharges the section-norm
+`LipschitzOnWith K` hypothesis (`dist (L t s + b t) (L t s' + b t) = ‖L t (s − s')‖ ≤ ‖L t‖·‖s − s'‖ ≤
+K·dist s s'`); strong continuity of `L` plus continuity of `b` discharge the time-continuity; the
+remaining centre bound and compatibility are supplied at the level the chart provides. -/

+/-! ### Topological-fibre section-space Picard bridges (Path-B compatible)
+
+The centre-bound section-space Picard bridges above carry a fibre
+`[∀ x, SeminormedAddCommGroup (V x)]`, whose *induced* fibre topology (Path A) is baked into their
+`ContinuousSectionSpace` type — while the concrete `BilinearFormBundle` continuous section space (with
+fibre `V x = W x →L[ℝ] W x →L[ℝ] ℝ`) carries the *defeq-but-differently-spelled*
+`ContinuousLinearMap.topologicalSpace` (Path B), the topology `FiberBundle`/`VectorBundle` and the
+concrete coordinate readout lemmas use.  Since none of the bridge machinery ever touches a fibre norm
+(all estimates are at the Banach `F`-norm / coordinate level), the two lemmas below restate the
+centre-bound bridge with the fibre topology taken as an *explicit* `[∀ x, TopologicalSpace (V x)]`
+binder (plus the bare `AddCommGroup`/`Module` structure the vector bundle provides), routing the
+time-continuity / centre-norm handoffs through the topological-fibre helpers
+`continuousOn_of_forall_coord_continuousOn_topFibre` / `norm_le_of_forall_coord_norm_le_topFibre`.
+This lets the section-space Picard bridge apply verbatim to the concrete `BilinearFormBundle`
+continuous section space (Path B), so the geometric Ricci–De Turck reaction operator's already-proved
+coordinate `hlip`/`hcenter` bounds are consumed directly. -/
+
+/-- **Topological-fibre version of `isPicardLindelof_continuousSectionSpace_of_forall_coord_centerBound`.**
+Identical statement and proof, with the fibre topology taken as an explicit
+`[∀ x, TopologicalSpace (V x)]` binder (instead of derived from a `SeminormedAddCommGroup (V x)`), so
+the section space is built with the caller's fibre topology.  The time-continuity and centre-norm
+handoffs go through the topological-fibre helpers. -/

+# Preferred-cover smooth approximation closure for Ricci-DeTurck metric carriers
+
+This thin module specializes the smooth-SPD closure criterion from `SmoothRealization`: on preferred
+bilinear-form trivializations, it is enough to produce spatially smooth fiberwise approximants and a
+uniform bound on the underlying inverse tangent trivializations.  The finite-cover Banach-norm
+estimate is supplied by `RiemannianSectionSmoothApprox`.

+# Smooth dependence of ODE flows on initial data — Lipschitz (`C^{0,1}`) base layer
+
+This module begins the missing upstream theory needed by roadmap point 4,
+Items 1 and 2: *dependence of the flow of a vector field on the initial
+condition*.  Mathlib v4.29.1 provides Grönwall trajectory estimates and
+local existence of integral curves, but the flow's dependence on the initial
+point — the `C^k` regularity that the compact-manifold gauge flow ultimately
+consumes — is not available.
+
+This file proves the base (`C^0` / Lipschitz, i.e. `C^{0,1}`) layer of that
+tower for *global* integral curves of a uniformly (in time) Lipschitz vector
+field on a real Banach space:
+
+* `isIntegralCurve_comp_neg`  — the time-reversed curve is an integral curve of
+  the time-reversed field (an isometry-Lipschitz field with the same constant);
+* `dist_le_of_isIntegralCurve_of_le` — the **forward** exponential dependence
+  bound, packaging Mathlib's `dist_le_of_trajectories_ODE` in `IsIntegralCurve`
+  form;
+* `dist_le_of_isIntegralCurve` — the **two-sided** bound
+  `dist (f t) (g t) ≤ dist (f t₀) (g t₀) · exp (K · |t - t₀|)`, obtained from the
+  forward bound applied to the time-reversed curves (Mathlib only supplies the
+  forward, `t ≥ t₀`, half);
+* `dist_le_of_isIntegralCurve_of_abs_le` — a uniform Lipschitz-in-initial-data
+  bound valid on a symmetric compact time interval;
+* `eq_of_isIntegralCurve_of_eq` — the resulting global uniqueness of an integral
+  curve through a given point.
+
+Everything here is proved from Mathlib's Banach-level ODE results; no PDE or
+manifold content is used.  Higher (`C^1`, …, `C^k`) dependence is deferred to
+subsequent layers.

+## Stability under perturbation of the vector field

+Continuous dependence of an integral curve on the *field* it solves: if two curves solve
+uniformly `ε`-close fields (one of them uniformly `K`-Lipschitz), their separation is

+`E →L[ℝ] E`, namely `W ↦ (A t).comp W`, is `K`-Lipschitz in `W`.  Uniqueness and

+### The linearisation-remainder Grönwall bound (the analytic core of `C¹` dependence)
+
+The decisive estimate underlying *differentiable* dependence on initial data.  Let `f`, `g`
+be two integral curves of a (possibly nonlinear) field `v`, and let `w` solve the vector
+variational ODE `w'(s) = A(s) (w(s))` — the linearisation of `v` along the pair, with
+`‖A s‖ ≤ K` — matching the *initial* separation exactly, `w t₀ = g t₀ - f t₀`.  If the
+pointwise **linearisation defect** `‖v s (g s) - v s (f s) - A s (g s - f s)‖` is uniformly
+`≤ δ`, then the linear prediction `w` tracks the true flow separation `g - f` to within
+`gronwallBound 0 K δ |t - t₀|`.
+
+The proof recognises the remainder `r := g - f - w` as an integral curve of the variational
+field `variationalFieldVec A` **perturbed** by the (`δ`-bounded, `u`-independent) defect, and
+compares it — via the two-sided perturbation Grönwall bound
+`dist_le_of_isIntegralCurve_perturb` — to the zero solution, with which it shares its initial
+value `r t₀ = 0`.  When `v` is `C¹` with `A s = D_x v (s, f s)` the defect is
+`o(‖g s - f s‖) = o(‖g t₀ - f t₀‖)`, so `δ → 0` faster than the initial separation and this
+bound upgrades to Fréchet differentiability of the flow with derivative the fundamental
+solution `D_x Φ_t` — the `C¹` layer of the dependence tower.  Nothing about `v` beyond the two
+integral curves and the defect bound is used (in particular `v` need not be Lipschitz). -/

+defect at each time `s` by `C · exp (K |s - t₀|) · ‖z - x₀‖`, where `C` is the oscillation of the

+bound is `(vanishing modulus) · ‖z - x₀‖`, which is `o(‖z - x₀‖)`.  This upgrades the conditional

+
+The most directly usable entry point: when the field's spatial derivative is *Lipschitz* on the
+trajectory chords (uniformly in `s`), i.e. `‖Dv s ξ - A s‖ ≤ L · ‖ξ - Φ x₀ s‖`, the linear modulus
+`ω r = L · r⁺` (nonnegative, monotone, vanishing at `0⁺`) feeds
+`hasFDerivAt_flow_of_uniform_deriv_modulus` directly.  This covers every smooth (`C^∞`) field — in
+particular the intended Ricci-flow application, whose right-hand sides are smooth — so it is the
+practical `C¹`-dependence theorem: no abstract modulus of continuity to supply, only a Lipschitz
+constant for the derivative. -/

+### Local (`∀ᶠ z in 𝓝 x₀`) refinements of the `C¹` dependence tower
+
+Fréchet differentiability of `x ↦ Φ x t` at the base point `x₀` is a **local** property, so the
+defect / oscillation / derivative-existence hypotheses of the theorems above need only hold for
+initial conditions `z` in a *neighbourhood* of `x₀`, not for every `z : E`.  The following variants
+weaken the global `∀ z` hypotheses to `∀ᶠ z in 𝓝 x₀` (the nonnegativity of the modulus and the
+structural flow-family hypotheses stay global, being harmless / non-analytic).
+
+This is the honest form consumed by a genuine smooth field: its spatial derivative `D_x v` is only
+*locally* Lipschitz, so the global Lipschitz-derivative bound of `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv`
+generally fails, whereas its local counterpart `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv_eventually`
+holds on the neighbourhood of `x₀` where the local Lipschitz estimate is available. -/

+`HasFDerivAt` is determined by the behaviour of `z ↦ Φ z t` near `x₀`, the big-O numerator estimate

+The practical payoff of the localisation.  A genuine smooth field has a spatial derivative that is
+only **locally** Lipschitz, so the global bound `‖Dv s ξ - A s‖ ≤ L · ‖ξ - Φ x₀ s‖` of
+`hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv` need not hold for *all* `z`.  It does hold, however, for `z`
+ranging over a neighbourhood of `x₀` (where the chord `[Φ x₀ s, Φ z s]` stays inside the region on
+which the local Lipschitz estimate is valid).  These `_eventually` forms are exactly what such a
+field supplies, giving unconditional `C¹` dependence of the flow on initial data for every smooth
+field. -/

+/-- **`C¹` dependence from a spatial derivative Lipschitz on a ball around the anchor trajectory.**
+The most directly consumable entry point for a smooth field on a chart: `v s` has a global spatial
+derivative `Dv s` (`HasFDerivAt (v s) (Dv s ξ) ξ`), and on the fixed radius-`r` ball around each
+anchor point `Φ x₀ s` (`s ∈ Ico t₀ t`) the derivative oscillation is `L`-Lipschitz in the distance
+to the anchor, `‖Dv s ξ - A s‖ ≤ L · ‖ξ - Φ x₀ s‖`.  Then `x ↦ Φ x t` is Fréchet differentiable at
+`x₀` with derivative the resolvent.  A genuine `C^∞` field supplies exactly this — its derivative is
+*locally* Lipschitz on balls — even when it is not *globally* Lipschitz-derivative.  The proof shows
+that for `‖z - x₀‖ < r / exp (K (t - t₀))` every trajectory chord `[Φ x₀ s, Φ z s]` stays inside the
+`r`-ball (flow separation `‖Φ z s - Φ x₀ s‖ ≤ exp (K (t - t₀)) ‖z - x₀‖`), so the ball estimate
+supplies the *eventual* Lipschitz-derivative hypothesis of

+### Continuous dependence of the resolvent on the coefficient field
+
+The fundamental solution `D_x Φ_t` depends continuously — indeed Lipschitz-ly — on the coefficient
+field `A`.  If two uniformly-`K`-bounded coefficients `A`, `A'` are uniformly `ε`-close,
+`‖A s - A' s‖ ≤ ε`, then on a forward compact time interval `[t₀, T]` their resolvents differ in
+operator norm by at most `ε · exp (K (T - t₀)) · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t - t₀)`.  The linearised
+perturbation `‖(A s - A' s) u‖ ≤ ε ‖u‖` is *not uniform* in `u`, so this is not a corollary of the
+uniform-field-perturbation bound `dist_flow_perturb_le`; instead it uses the a-priori trajectory
+growth `‖Φ₂ u₀ s‖ ≤ exp (K (T - t₀)) ‖u₀‖` (`norm_flow_variationalFieldVec_le`) to turn the
+per-point linearisation defect into a *uniform* one on the compact interval, then feeds Mathlib's
+approximate-trajectory Grönwall estimate `dist_le_of_approx_trajectories_ODE`.  This is the
+operator-level continuous dependence of the linearised flow / resolvent on its coefficient — an
+input to the `C²` regularity of the flow in initial data (where `A` itself varies with the base
+point) and to the continuous dependence of the DeTurck flow on the metric. -/

+/-- **Nonnegativity of the unit Grönwall bound.**  `0 ≤ gronwallBound 0 K 1 x` for `0 ≤ K` and
+`0 ≤ x`: on the diagonal `δ = 0`, `ε = 1`, the bound is `x` (if `K = 0`) or `(exp (K x) - 1)/K ≥ 0`
+(if `K > 0`). -/

+### Linearity and uniqueness of the first variation
+
+The second-order variational estimates above (`norm_fundamentalSolution_sub_sub_variation_le`,
+`norm_fundamentalSolution_variation_le`) take the *first variation* `V` — a solution of the
+inhomogeneous operator ODE `V' = A ∘ V + F` anchored at `V t₀ = 0` — as a hypothesis.  Here `F` is
+the coefficient-perturbation forcing `(A₁ - A₂) ∘ W₂`, *linear* in the perturbation `A₁ - A₂`.  The
+lemmas below establish that the map `F ↦ V` (equivalently `perturbation ↦ V`) is a genuine
+**linear** and **single-valued** assignment: the inhomogeneous variational ODE is linear, so its
+solution set is closed under addition and scalar multiplication (superposition), and Grönwall
+uniqueness pins the anchored solution down.  This is exactly the linearity-in-perturbation that
+upgrades the Gateaux estimate `W₁ - W₂ = V + O(ε²)` toward an honest *bounded linear* Gateaux/Fréchet
+derivative of the resolvent `A ↦ D_x Φ_t` in its coefficient field — the algebraic backbone of the
+base-point `C^k` bootstrap. -/

+`V₁' = A ∘ V₁ + F₁` and `V₂` solves `V₂' = A ∘ V₂ + F₂` (the first-variation ODEs with forcings
+`F₁`, `F₂`), then their sum solves the ODE with the summed forcing,
+`(V₁ + V₂)' = A ∘ (V₁ + V₂) + (F₁ + F₂)`.  Linearity of the operator ODE: add the two `HasDerivAt`
+statements and regroup via bilinearity of composition (`comp_add`). -/

+### Existence of the first variation via the augmented homogeneous flow
+
+The linearity/uniqueness/bound lemmas above take the first variation `V` — a solution of the
+*inhomogeneous* operator ODE `V' = A ∘ V + F` anchored at `V t₀ = 0` — as a hypothesis.  Here we
+reduce the *existence* of such a `V` to the existence of a genuine **homogeneous** linear flow, by
+the classical homogenisation of an affine ODE.
+
+On the augmented Banach space `(E →L[ℝ] E) × ℝ` consider the *linear* (homogeneous) field
+`ℳ(s)(V, c) = (A s ∘ V + c • F s, 0)`.  An integral curve `z = (V, c)` of `ℳ` through `(0, 1)` has a
+constant scalar coordinate `c ≡ 1` (its derivative is `0`), so the operator coordinate `V` satisfies
+`V' = A ∘ V + 1 • F = A ∘ V + F` with `V t₀ = 0`: it *is* the first variation.  Thus the inhomogeneous
+first variation is a component of a homogeneous resolvent — the operator-ODE shadow of Duhamel's
+principle — and its existence follows from the very same flow-existence input this file consumes for
+`variationalFieldVec`.  No new analysis is required beyond homogeneous flow existence. -/
+
+/-- The **augmented (homogenised) variational field** on `(E →L[ℝ] E) × ℝ` associated to an operator
+path `A` and a forcing path `F`: `(V, c) ↦ (A s ∘ V + c • F s, 0)`.  It is linear (homogeneous) in
+`(V, c)`; an integral curve through `(0, 1)` carries the first variation of the inhomogeneous
+variational ODE `V' = A ∘ V + F` in its operator coordinate. -/
+def augmentedVariationalField (A F : ℝ → (E →L[ℝ] E)) :
+    ℝ → ((E →L[ℝ] E) × ℝ) → ((E →L[ℝ] E) × ℝ) :=
+  fun s p => ((A s).comp p.1 + p.2 • F s, 0)
+
+/-- **The augmented variational field is uniformly Lipschitz.**  Under uniform bounds `‖A s‖ ≤ K` and
+`‖F s‖ ≤ M`, the linear augmented field `(V, c) ↦ (A s ∘ V + c • F s, 0)` on `(E →L[ℝ] E) × ℝ` is
+`(K + M)`-Lipschitz in `(V, c)`, with the constant independent of `s`.  (Sup-norm on the product,
+submultiplicativity of `A s ∘ ·`, and `‖c • F s‖ ≤ ‖c‖ · M`; the two component gaps are each bounded
+by the product-norm gap.)  This places the augmented homogeneous flow squarely in the uniformly
+Lipschitz regime handled by the `C⁰`/`C¹` dependence theory above — so the flow-existence input
+required by `hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation_of_augmented` is of exactly the same well-posed kind consumed
+throughout this file for `variationalFieldVec`. -/

+### Gluing integral curves across a junction (the continuation primitive)
+
+Mathlib v4.29.1 supplies *local* existence of integral curves (Picard–Lindelöf on a compact
+interval) but no way to **glue** integral curves that meet at a common time into a single curve valid
+on the union.  The two lemmas here provide that missing continuation primitive.
+
+The payoff is `isIntegralCurve_of_isIntegralCurveOn_Iic_Ici`: a curve which is an integral curve on
+the left half-line `Iic b` and on the right half-line `Ici b` is a **global** integral curve.  This
+is exactly the shape (`IsIntegralCurve` — a genuine two-sided derivative at *every* time) consumed by
+every flow-existence hypothesis in this file (`hΦ : ∀ x, IsIntegralCurve (Φ x) …`, and the augmented
+homogeneous flow `∀ s, HasDerivAt z …` of `hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation_of_augmented`).  Thus a global
+integral curve can be assembled from a forward local solution on `[b, ∞)` and a backward local
+solution on `(-∞, b]` glued at the anchor `b` — reducing global existence to one-sided existence.
+
+`isIntegralCurve_glue_Iic_Ici` is the constructive companion: it *builds* the glued curve
+`fun t => if t ≤ b then γ₁ t else γ₂ t` from two one-sided integral curves that agree at the junction
+`γ₁ b = γ₂ b`, and shows it is a global integral curve.  Only Mathlib's Banach-level within-set
+derivative calculus is used — no PDE or manifold content. -/
+
+/-- **Half-line gluing to a global integral curve.**  If `γ` is an integral curve of `v` on the left
+half-line `Iic b` *and* on the right half-line `Ici b`, then it is a *global* integral curve of `v`.
+At a time `t < b` the set `Iic b` is a neighbourhood of `t`, so the within-`Iic b` derivative upgrades
+to a two-sided `HasDerivAt`; symmetrically for `t > b` using `Ici b`; and at the junction `t = b` the
+two one-sided within-set derivatives combine via `HasDerivWithinAt.union` over `Iic b ∪ Ici b = univ`
+into the two-sided derivative.  This is the continuation primitive that turns one-sided existence into

+### Local existence of integral curves (Picard–Lindelöf, uniform step)
+
+The continuation stack above (`isIntegralCurveOn_Icc_union`, `isIntegralCurveOn_Icc_chain`,
+`isIntegralCurve_of_forall_Icc_Ici_Iic`) reduces *global* existence of an integral curve to
+*compact-interval* `IsIntegralCurveOn` data, and the augmented-flow reduction
+(`hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation_of_augmented`) reduces existence of the first variation to existence of
+a global integral curve of the Lipschitz field `augmentedVariationalField A F`.  The one remaining
+input is *local* existence — which is exactly what Mathlib v4.29.1 supplies, via Picard–Lindelöf
+(`IsPicardLindelof.exists_eq_forall_mem_Icc_hasDerivWithinAt₀`) on a complete Banach space.
+
+For a field that is **uniformly (in time) `K`-Lipschitz in state**, the local solution can be produced
+on a time interval of a *uniform* half-length `lipschitzFlowStep K`, independent of the anchor
+`(t₀, x₀)`.  The mechanism: on a closed ball of radius `a` the field is bounded by `K·a + C₀` (with
+`C₀` a time-sup of `‖v · x₀‖`), so Picard–Lindelöf yields a solution of length `a/(K·a + C₀) → 1/K`
+as `a → ∞`; choosing `a` large (depending on `C₀`) makes the length reach the fixed target
+`lipschitzFlowStep K`.  This uniform lower bound on the step is what allows the local solutions to be
+*chained* (via `isIntegralCurveOn_Icc_chain`) across an arbitrarily long compact interval — the
+crucial property a merely-local existence statement would lack. -/
+
+/-- The **uniform local-existence half-step** for a uniformly `K`-Lipschitz vector field: the
+anchor-independent time radius `min 1 (1 / (2 (K + 1)))` on which a local integral curve is guaranteed
+to exist (`exists_isIntegralCurveOn_Icc_of_lipschitzWith`).  It lies in `(0, 1]` and satisfies
+`K · lipschitzFlowStep K ≤ 1/2`, the inequality that makes the Picard–Lindelöf interval-length
+constraint solvable with a fixed step. -/

+(`∀ t, LipschitzWith K (v t)`) and continuous in time at every fixed state (`∀ x, Continuous (v · x)`),
+and for any anchor `(t₀, x₀)`, there is an integral curve `γ` of `v` through `x₀` on the symmetric
+closed interval of the *uniform* half-length `lipschitzFlowStep K` — a radius depending only on `K`,
+**not** on the anchor `(t₀, x₀)`.
+
+This is the local-existence input the continuation stack (`isIntegralCurveOn_Icc_chain`,
+`isIntegralCurve_of_forall_Icc_Ici_Iic`) and the augmented-flow reduction
+(`hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation_of_augmented`) consume — the one piece Mathlib supplies directly, here
+packaged from `IsPicardLindelof.exists_eq_forall_mem_Icc_hasDerivWithinAt₀`.  The uniform lower bound
+on the step is essential: it lets the finitely many local solutions be chained across an arbitrarily
+long compact interval.
+
+Construction: on the closed ball `closedBall x₀ a` the field is bounded by `L = K·a + C₀` where
+`C₀ = sup_{[t₀-h, t₀+h]} ‖v · x₀‖` (finite by compactness), so `IsPicardLindelof` holds on the
+interval as soon as `L·h ≤ a`.  Taking `a = 2·h·(C₀+1) + 1` with `h = lipschitzFlowStep K` (whence
+`K·h ≤ 1/2`) makes `L·h ≤ a/2 + (a-1)/2 = a - 1/2 ≤ a`. -/

+Proof: an induction shows `∃ γ, γ t₀ = x₀ ∧ IsIntegralCurveOn γ v (Icc t₀ (t₀ + n · step))` for every
+`n : ℕ` (base = local existence restricted to `{t₀}`; step = extend the length-`n` solution by one

+junction where the two curves agree by construction).  Choosing `n` with `t₀ + n·step ≥ T`
+(Archimedean, `step > 0`) and restricting gives the claim.  (No hypothesis `t₀ ≤ T` is needed: for

+### Existence of the flow family (and the variational flow family)
+
+The global existence theorem `exists_isIntegralCurve_of_lipschitzWith` produces, for *one* initial
+value, a global integral curve.  Choosing such a curve for *every* initial value assembles a **flow
+family** `Φ : E → ℝ → E` with `Φ z t₀ = z` and `IsIntegralCurve (Φ z) v` for all `z` — exactly the
+`(hΦ, h0)` datum that the entire conditional dependence tower
+(`hasFDerivAt_flow_of_defect_isLittleO`, `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv`, …) takes as a
+hypothesis.  Specialising to the vector variational field `variationalFieldVec A` (`K`-Lipschitz and,
+for a continuous coefficient `A`, time-continuous) yields the **variational flow family** `Φ'` — the
+`(hΦ', h0')` datum, from which the resolvent `fundamentalSolution hA hΦ' h0'` is built.  These two
+existence lemmas discharge the flow-family hypotheses of the tower from field-level data alone. -/
+
+/-- **Existence of the flow family.**  For a uniformly `K`-Lipschitz (`∀ t, LipschitzWith K (v t)`),

+integral curve of `v` for every initial value `z`.  Assembled by `choose`-ing an integral curve
+through each `(t₀, z)` out of the global existence theorem `exists_isIntegralCurve_of_lipschitzWith`.

+### Unconditional differentiable dependence on initial data for a `C^{1,1}` field
+
+Assembling the flow-family existence with the `C^{1,1}` conditional theorem
+`hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv` gives a fully **unconditional** differentiable-dependence
+statement from *field-level* data only: a uniformly `K`-Lipschitz, time-continuous field whose spatial
+Fréchet derivative `Dv` exists everywhere, is jointly continuous, and is (uniformly in time)
+`L`-Lipschitz in space.  No flow family, no coefficient path, no resolvent need be supplied — they are
+all constructed internally.  This is the Banach-level smooth-dependence-on-initial-data result that
+Items 1 and 2 consume: the spatial derivative `x₀ ↦ D_x Φ_t` of the base flow exists and is the
+resolvent. -/
+
+/-- **Unconditional `C¹` dependence of the flow on initial data (`C^{1,1}` field).**  Let `v` be a
+uniformly `K`-Lipschitz (`∀ τ, LipschitzWith K (v τ)`), time-continuous (`∀ x, Continuous (v · x)`)
+field on a complete Banach space, whose spatial Fréchet derivative `Dv s x` exists at every `(s, x)`
+(`hderiv`), is jointly continuous (`hDvc`), and is `L`-Lipschitz in the spatial variable uniformly in
+time (`hDvlip`).  Then for every base point `x₀` and forward time `t ≥ t₀` there exist a flow family
+`Φ` of `v` (anchored `Φ z t₀ = z`) and a bounded operator `D` (the resolvent
+`fundamentalSolution … t = D_x Φ_t`) such that the flow map `z ↦ Φ z t` is **Fréchet differentiable**
+at `x₀` with derivative `D`.

+### Coefficient regularity for the base-point `C²` bootstrap
+
+The `C¹` bootstrap (`hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv`, …) produces the resolvent
+`R s = D_x Φ_s` as the Fréchet derivative of the flow in its initial value.  The next layer — the
+base-point `C²`/`C^k` bootstrap — differentiates `x₀ ↦ R(x₀) s = fundamentalSolution … s` once more,
+via the second-order variational estimates `norm_fundamentalSolution_sub_sub_variation_le` /
+`norm_fundamentalSolution_variation_le`.  Its coefficient is the linearisation of the field along the
+reference trajectory, `A(x₀) s = Dv s (Φ x₀ s)`, so the `C²` step consumes two facts about how this
+coefficient depends on the base point `x₀`:
+
+* its **Fréchet derivative** — the chain rule `∂/∂x₀ [Dv s (Φ x₀ s)] = D²v s (Φ x₀ s) ∘ D_x Φ_s`,
+  requiring the field's *second* spatial derivative `D²v` and the already-established flow derivative
+  `D_x Φ` (`hasFDerivAt_derivField_apply_flow`);
+* its **size** — a Lipschitz-in-`x₀` bound making the coefficient perturbation
+  `‖A(x₀+h) s - A(x₀) s‖ = O(‖h‖)`, *uniformly* on the compact time tube, the `ε`-datum
+  (`hAA'`/`hε`) of the second-order variational estimates
+  (`lipschitzWith_derivField_apply_flow`, `..._of_abs_le`, `norm_derivField_apply_flow_sub_le`).

+`norm_flow_sub_fundamentalSolution_le_uniform` (the interval bound
+`norm_flow_sub_fundamentalSolution_le_Icc` upgraded to a single Grönwall factor over `[t₀, T]`), these
+are the coefficient-side inputs of the base-point `C²` bootstrap.  Everything below is proved from

+### Existence of the first variation for a *time-unbounded* (locally bounded) forcing
+
+The base-point `C²` bootstrap needs the true / linearised first variations `Vz`, `Vlin` whose
+forcings — `(A_z − A₀) ∘ W₀`, `(D²v(Φ x₀ s) ∘ W₀ · h) ∘ W₀` — are only *continuous*, growing like
+`exp (K |s − t₀|)` in `s` and hence never globally norm-bounded.  The globally-bounded existence
+`exists_hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation` (whose homogenised `augmentedVariationalField` folds `F` into the
+state via a scalar coordinate, forcing `‖F s‖ ≤ M`) therefore does not apply.
+
+The key observation is that the **direct** inhomogeneous variation field
+`inhomogVariationalField A F s W = (A s) ∘ W + F s` is *uniformly* `K`-Lipschitz *in the state* `W`
+whenever `A` is globally `K`-bounded — the forcing `F s` cancels in the state-difference
+`g s W₁ − g s W₂ = (A s) ∘ (W₁ − W₂)`, so its (possibly unbounded) size never enters the Lipschitz
+constant.  Global existence of `V` with `V t₀ = 0`, `V' = A ∘ V + F` therefore follows *directly*
+from the uniform-Lipschitz global existence `exists_isIntegralCurve_of_lipschitzWith` — no augmented
+scalar coordinate, no truncation, no global bound on `F`. -/
+
+/-- The **direct inhomogeneous variation field** `W ↦ (A t) ∘ W + F t` on `E →L[ℝ] E`, whose integral
+curves solve the inhomogeneous variational ODE `V' = A ∘ V + F`.  (Compare `variationalField`, the
+homogeneous `F = 0` case.) -/

+
+/-- **The direct inhomogeneous variation field is `K`-Lipschitz in the state**, with `K` the operator
+bound of `A` alone — *independently of the size of the forcing* `F`.  The forcing is a state-constant
+translation, so it cancels in the state-difference `(A t) ∘ W₁ + F t − ((A t) ∘ W₂ + F t) =
+(A t) ∘ (W₁ − W₂)`; submultiplicativity then gives `≤ ‖A t‖ ‖W₁ − W₂‖ ≤ K ‖W₁ − W₂‖`.  This is what
+lets a *time-unbounded* (but continuous) forcing still feed the uniform-Lipschitz global existence. -/

+jointly continuous and `L`-Lipschitz in space, and whose *second* spatial derivative `D2v` exists
+everywhere, is jointly continuous and `M`-Lipschitz, there is a flow family `Φ` of `v` (anchored) such

+### Continuous differentiability of the flow in the initial data (`C¹` in the strong Mathlib sense)
+
+The unconditional differentiable-dependence result `exists_flow_differentiable_of_lipschitz_deriv`
+only produces a *differentiable* flow map; the honest `C¹` regularity consumed by the compact-manifold
+gauge flow of Item 2 (a *diffeomorphism* family, whose derivatives must vary continuously) is
+`ContDiff ℝ 1` — differentiability **plus norm-continuity of the derivative**.  The missing piece is
+that the resolvent map `z ↦ D_x Φ_t = fderiv ℝ (fun w => Φ w t) z` depends continuously on the base
+point `z`.  This is supplied by the operator-norm continuous dependence of the resolvent on its
+coefficient (`norm_fundamentalSolution_sub_le_of_forall_le_Icc`) composed with the Lipschitz-in-base
+control of the linearised coefficient along the reference trajectory
+(`norm_derivField_apply_flow_sub_le`): the coefficient `A(z) s = Dv s (Φ z s)` moves by at most
+`L · exp (K (t − t₀)) · ‖z − z₀‖` on the tube `[t₀, t]`, hence the resolvent moves by at most
+`L · exp (K (t − t₀))² · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀) · ‖z − z₀‖`.  The resolvent map is therefore
+(globally) Lipschitz in the base point, in particular continuous.  This upgrades the `C¹`-in-initial
+-data dependence from *differentiable* to *continuously differentiable* — the `ContDiff ℝ 1` interface
+that Items 1 and 2 actually consume. -/
+
+/-- **The flow map is `C¹`-with-continuous-derivative in the initial data (`C^{1,1}` field): the
+resolvent varies continuously with the base point.**  Strengthening
+`exists_flow_differentiable_of_lipschitz_deriv`: under the same field-level hypotheses (uniformly
+`K`-Lipschitz, time-continuous `v` with everywhere-defined, jointly continuous, spatially
+`L`-Lipschitz derivative `Dv`) there is one flow family `Φ` of `v` (anchored `Φ z t₀ = z`) whose
+forward time-`t` slice `z ↦ Φ z t` is `Differentiable ℝ` **and** whose derivative map
+`z ↦ fderiv ℝ (fun w => Φ w t) z` — the resolvent `D_x Φ_t` — is `Continuous`.
+
+Proof: build `Φ` once; the `C¹` bootstrap `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv` identifies the resolvent
+map with `fderiv ℝ (fun w => Φ w t)`, so it remains to show `z ↦ fundamentalSolution (A(z)) t` is
+continuous.  Two base points `z`, `z₀` have coefficients `A(z) s = Dv s (Φ z s)` differing by at most
+`ε = L · exp (K (t − t₀)) · ‖z − z₀‖` on `[t₀, t]` (`norm_derivField_apply_flow_sub_le`), so the
+resolvent gap is `≤ ε · exp (K (t − t₀)) · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀)`
+(`norm_fundamentalSolution_sub_le_of_forall_le_Icc`); this is a fixed multiple of `‖z − z₀‖`, i.e. the
+resolvent map is Lipschitz, hence continuous. -/

+### Continuous dependence of the inhomogeneous variation on its coefficient and forcing
+
+The base-point `C²` bootstrap packages the second fundamental solution `D₂(x₀)` as the time-`t` value
+of the *linearised first variation* `Vlin` — the anchored solution of an inhomogeneous linear ODE
+`V' = A(x₀) ∘ V + F(x₀)` whose coefficient `A(x₀) s = Dv s (Φ x₀ s)` and chain-rule forcing
+`F(x₀) s = (D²v(Φ x₀ s) ∘ W(x₀,s) · h) ∘ W(x₀,s)` both depend on the base point `x₀`.  Establishing
+that `x₀ ↦ D₂(x₀)` is *continuous* — the missing ingredient for the honest `ContDiff ℝ 2` regularity of
+the flow in the initial data — therefore reduces to the continuous (in fact Lipschitz) dependence of
+the inhomogeneous variation's time-`t` value on the pair `(A, F)`.  The following primitive isolates
+that dependence, allowing the two coefficient fields to differ (unlike the same-coefficient
+subtraction `hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation_sub`): the difference `V₁ - V₂` solves the inhomogeneous ODE
+with coefficient `A₁` and the *residual* forcing `(A₁ - A₂) ∘ V₂ + (F₁ - F₂)`, whose size is
+controlled by the coefficient gap `α`, the second-solution bound `N`, and the forcing gap `β`. -/
+
+/-- **Lipschitz dependence of the inhomogeneous variation on the coefficient and forcing.**  Let `V₁`,
+`V₂` be the anchored solutions (`V t₀ = 0`) of the inhomogeneous variational ODEs
+`V₁' = A₁ ∘ V₁ + F₁` and `V₂' = A₂ ∘ V₂ + F₂`, with `A₁` norm-bounded by `K`.  If, on the compact tube
+`[t₀, T]`, the coefficients differ by at most `α` (`‖A₁ s − A₂ s‖ ≤ α`), the second solution is bounded
+by `N` (`‖V₂ s‖ ≤ N`), and the forcings differ by at most `β` (`‖F₁ s − F₂ s‖ ≤ β`), then
+`‖V₁ t − V₂ t‖ ≤ (α · N + β) · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀)` for every `t ∈ [t₀, T]`.
+
+Proof: the difference `R = V₁ − V₂` solves the inhomogeneous ODE with coefficient `A₁` and residual
+forcing `G = (A₁ − A₂) ∘ V₂ + (F₁ − F₂)` (rearranging `A₁ ∘ V₁ + F₁ − (A₂ ∘ V₂ + F₂)` via
+`comp_sub`/`sub_comp`), anchored `R t₀ = 0`.  On `[t₀, T]` the forcing satisfies
+`‖G s‖ ≤ ‖A₁ s − A₂ s‖ · ‖V₂ s‖ + ‖F₁ s − F₂ s‖ ≤ α · N + β` (submultiplicativity of the operator
+norm), and the general a-priori bound `norm_inhomogVariation_le` closes it.  Taking `α, β → 0` this is
+the continuity of `(A, F) ↦ V(t)`; specialised to the trajectory-linearised coefficient and chain-rule
+forcing it drives the continuity of the second fundamental solution `x₀ ↦ D₂(x₀)`. -/

+in initial data" milestone in Mathlib's `ContDiff` vocabulary: from a uniformly `K`-Lipschitz,
+time-continuous field `v` with everywhere-defined, jointly continuous, spatially `L`-Lipschitz first
+derivative `Dv` and everywhere-defined, jointly continuous, `M`-Lipschitz second derivative `D²v`,
+there is one flow family `Φ` of `v` (anchored `Φ z t₀ = z`) whose forward time-`t` slice
+`z ↦ Φ z t` is `ContDiff ℝ 2` — twice continuously (Fréchet) differentiable in the initial value.
+
+Proof: build `Φ` and the per-`z` variational families `Ψ z`.  The `C¹` bootstrap identifies the
+resolvent map with `fderiv ℝ (fun w => Φ w t)`, and the base-point `C²` bootstrap
+(`exists_hasFDerivAt_fundamentalSolution_baseCurve`, replicated with the packaged operator `D₂ z` of
+`exists_continuousLinearMap_linearisedVariation`) identifies its derivative with `D₂ z`, so
+`fderiv ℝ (fderiv ℝ (fun w => Φ w t)) = D₂`.  Continuity of the second fundamental solution
+`z ↦ D₂ z` — the new ingredient — is the Lipschitz bound `‖D₂ z − D₂ z₀‖ ≤ C · ‖z − z₀‖`: for a unit
+direction `h`, `D₂ z h − D₂ z₀ h = Vlin^{z,h} t − Vlin^{z₀,h} t` (operator characterisation), and the
+two linearised variations solve inhomogeneous ODEs whose coefficient gap
+(`norm_derivField_apply_flow_sub_le`) and chain-rule forcing gap
+(`norm_chainRuleForcing_sub_le`, fed the `D²v`-gap `norm_secondDerivField_apply_flow_sub_le` and the
+resolvent gap `norm_fundamentalSolution_baseCurve_sub_le`) are `O(‖z − z₀‖)`, so
+`norm_inhomogVariation_sub_le_of_gap` gives `‖Vlin^{z,h} t − Vlin^{z₀,h} t‖ ≤ C · ‖z − z₀‖ · ‖h‖`.
+Packaged as `ContDiff ℝ 2` via `contDiff_one_iff_fderiv` and `contDiff_succ_iff_fderiv`.  The

+  `W₂ s = ∂/∂x₀ (fundamentalSolution) s` in the base direction (supplied here as any continuous curve;
+  its concrete construction as a second fundamental solution is a separate piece); and

+/-- **The packaged bilinear third-variation operator `D₃`** — the full `(k, h)`-bilinear operator
+`D₃ : E →L[ℝ] (E →L[ℝ] (E →L[ℝ] E))`, whose value `D₃ k h` is the time-`t` third variation for base
+direction `k` and inner direction `h`.
+
+This upgrades `exists_continuousLinearMap_thirdVariation` (which packages only the inner
+`h ↦ D₃(k, h)` for a *fixed* base direction `k`) to a bounded operator in *both* directions.  The inner
+`h`-linearity gives, for each `k`, the operator `D₃(k) : E →L[ℝ] (E →L[ℝ] E)`
+(`exists_continuousLinearMap_thirdVariation_norm_le`, fed the `‖k‖`-scaled curve bound `‖W₂ k s‖ ≤ N₂·‖k‖`
+so its operator norm is `≤ (2·C'·N₂·exp(K(T−t₀)) + C''·exp(3K(T−t₀)))·gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t−t₀)·‖k‖`,
+i.e. genuinely `O(‖k‖)`).  The outer `k`-linearity is the new content: `k ↦ D₃(k)` is additive and
+homogeneous by `thirdVariation_baseDir_add_eq`/`_smul_eq` (through the value characterisation
+`D₃(k) h = V^{k,h} t` and ODE uniqueness), and bounded by the `‖k‖`-scaled norm estimate, so
+`LinearMap.mkContinuous` yields the bilinear operator.  The value is independent of the chosen solution
+by `inhomogVariation_unique`.
+
+This is the fully-packaged `D₃` — bilinear in `(k, h)` — that the base-point `C³` Taylor remainder
+`‖(D₂(z) − D₂(x₀)) − D₃(z − x₀)‖ ≤ C‖z − x₀‖²` (with `k = z − x₀`) will compare against, en route to the
+spatial `C³` regularity of the flow's resolvent (`ContDiff ℝ 3`). -/

+/-- **Second-order (Taylor) remainder scaffold: reduction to a forcing gap.**  The generic Grönwall
+scaffold for the base-point `C³` Taylor remainder — the `D₃`-analogue of the shape of
+`norm_fundamentalSolution_sub_sub_linearVariation_le_sq`, phrased at the level of *inhomogeneous
+variations* so that the concrete `D₂`/`D₃` instantiation is deferred.
+
+Given three anchored inhomogeneous variations sharing the reference coefficient `A₀` for the *second*
+and *third*, and a possibly-different coefficient `A₁` for the *first*:
+* `V₁` solves `V' = A₁ ∘ V + F₁`, `V t₀ = 0` (the linearised first variation at the *perturbed* base
+  point — coefficient `A₁ = Dv(Φ z)`, forcing `F₁`);
+* `V₀` solves `V' = A₀ ∘ V + F₀`, `V t₀ = 0` (the linearised first variation at the *reference* base
+  point — coefficient `A₀ = Dv(Φ x₀)`, forcing `F₀`);
+* `V₃` solves `V' = A₀ ∘ V + F₃`, `V t₀ = 0` (the *third* variation — same reference coefficient `A₀`,
+  the packaged `D₃` forcing `F₃`),
+
+the difference `(V₁ − V₀) − V₃` obeys `‖(V₁ t − V₀ t) − V₃ t‖ ≤ β · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀)`, where
+`β` bounds the **forcing gap** `((A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁ + (F₁ − F₀)) − F₃` on the tube `[t₀, T]`.
+
+Proof: the exact difference `W = (V₁ − V₀) − V₃` solves the `A₀`-coefficient inhomogeneous ODE
+`W' = A₀ ∘ W + (((A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁ + (F₁ − F₀)) − F₃)`, `W t₀ = 0` — obtained from `(hV₁.sub hV₀).sub hV₃`
+by the algebraic rearrangement `A₁ ∘ V₁ = A₀ ∘ V₁ + (A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁` (`comp_sub`/`sub_comp`, `abel`) — so
+the a-priori bound `norm_inhomogVariation_le` (coefficient `A₀` is `K`-bounded) fed the forcing gap `β`
+gives the estimate.  The remaining second-order content — that the forcing gap is genuinely
+`O(‖z − x₀‖² · ‖h‖)`, i.e. that the packaged `D₃` forcing `F₃` is the correct linearisation of
+`(A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁ + (F₁ − F₀)` in `z − x₀` — is isolated into the single hypothesis `hβ`, exactly the
+`β`-gap that the built forcing-gap toolkit (`norm_bilinearCompForcing_sub_le`,
+`norm_thirdDerivCurryLeft_apply_flow_sub_le`, …) is designed to supply. -/

+/-- **Second-order remainder of the coefficient-times-variation forcing term
+`(A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁`.**  In the base-point second-order Taylor analysis of the `C³` layer, the difference
+curve `V₁ − V₀` of the two linearised first variations picks up the extra forcing
+`Ψ = (A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁ + (F₁ − F₀)` (relative to the reference `A₀`-coefficient ODE), and the leading
+(linear-in-`z − x₀`) part of the first summand is `(D²v(Φ x₀ s)[W_x (z − x₀)]) ∘ V₀`
+(`W_x = D_x Φ_s^{A(x₀)}` the resolvent, `V₀ = Vx` the second fundamental solution curve in direction
+`h`).  This lemma is the design-independent quadratic Taylor bound isolating that linear part: for
+`s ∈ [t₀, T]`,
+`‖(Dv(Φ z s) − Dv(Φ x₀ s)) ∘ Vz s − ((D²v(Φ x₀ s) ∘ W_x s)(z − x₀)) ∘ Vx s‖ ≤ C · ‖z − x₀‖² · ‖h‖`.
+
+Proof: telescope `P ∘ Vz − Q ∘ Vx = P ∘ (Vz − Vx) + (P − Q) ∘ Vx` (`comp_sub`/`sub_comp`) with
+`P = Dv(Φ z) − Dv(Φ x₀)`, `Q = (D²v(Φ x₀) ∘ W_x)(z − x₀)`, so `P − Q` is exactly the field-Taylor
+defect of `norm_derivField_sub_sub_comp_fundamentalSolution_le_sq` (`‖P − Q‖ = O(‖z − x₀‖²)`); bound
+the cross term by the coefficient gap `‖P‖ ≤ L·exp·‖z − x₀‖` (`norm_derivField_apply_flow_sub_le`) times
+the curve gap `‖Vz − Vx‖ = O(‖z − x₀‖·‖h‖)` (`norm_linearisedFirstVariation_baseCurve_sub_le`), and the
+defect term by `‖P − Q‖·‖Vx‖` with `‖Vx‖ = O(‖h‖)` (`norm_linearisedFirstVariation_le`), both `t`-window
+factors pushed to the endpoint by `gronwallBound_mono`.  This is one of the design-independent `O(‖z −
+x₀‖²·‖h‖)` remainder pieces of the `hβ` forcing gap of `norm_inhomogVariation_sub_sub_le_of_forcingGap`

+/-- **Base-point Lipschitz continuity of the chain-rule (second-variation) forcing along the flow.**
+The linearised first-variation ODE at base point `z` carries the chain-rule forcing
+`F(z) s = ((D²v(Φ z s) ∘ W_z) h) ∘ W_z` (`W_z = D_x Φ_s^{A(z)} = fundamentalSolution hAz hΦ₁ h1`).
+This lemma is the standalone, clean-constant form of the forcing-gap datum computed inline inside
+`norm_linearisedFirstVariation_baseCurve_sub_le`: the whole forcing moves by `O(‖z − x₀‖ · ‖h‖)` when
+the base point moves from `x₀` to `z`, uniformly on `[t₀, T]`,
+`‖F(z) s − F(x₀) s‖ ≤ exp(K(T−t₀))³ · (M + 2·L·C'·gronwallBound 0 K 1 (T−t₀)) · ‖z − x₀‖ · ‖h‖`.
+
+Proof: `norm_chainRuleForcing_sub_le` (the joint `P, W` perturbation of `((P ∘ W) h) ∘ W`) fed the flow
+bounds `‖D²v(Φ z s)‖ ≤ C'`, the resolvent bound `‖W‖ ≤ exp(K(T−t₀))` (`norm_fundamentalSolution_le`),
+the `D²v`-gap `dp` (`norm_secondDerivField_apply_flow_sub_le`) and resolvent base-gap `dw`
+(`norm_fundamentalSolution_baseCurve_sub_le`), whose raw output `(dp·w² + 2·C'·w·dw)·‖h‖` collapses to
+the stated `exp³·(M + 2LC'g)` constant by `ring` (all factors are `exp(K(T−t₀))`).  This is the `β`

+build the canonical linearised first variations `Vz`, `Vx`
+(`exists_hasDerivAt_firstVariation_linearised_dir` at `z`, `x₀`), identify `D₂z h = Vz t`,
+`D₂x h = Vx t` (the value characterisations `hD₂z`, `hD₂x`), and bound `‖Vz t − Vx t‖ ≤ … · ‖h‖` by
+`norm_linearisedFirstVariation_baseCurve_sub_le` (constant rearranged by `ring`).  This packages the
+`C²` continuity of the second fundamental solution as an honest operator-norm Lipschitz bound — the
+`z ↦ D₂(z)` regularity datum that the `C³` layer differentiates. -/

+/-- **Existence of the second-order (third) variation with the coefficient-variation leading term** —
+the *design-corrected* `D₃`-solution existence, resolving the plan's open forcing-gap design question.
+
+The packaged forcing of `exists_hasDerivAt_secondVariation_linearised_dir_of_thirdDeriv` is
+`F_A + F_B + F_C`.  Differentiating the second-variation ODE `V' = A₀ ∘ V + ((D²v ∘ W) h) ∘ W` in the
+base point (direction `k`) produces, *in addition*, the **coefficient-variation leading term**
+`(D²v[W k]) ∘ V₀`.  Indeed `∂_k(A₀ ∘ V₀) = (∂_k A₀) ∘ V₀ + A₀ ∘ (∂_k V₀)`: the second summand is the
+homogeneous `A₀ ∘ V` of the new unknown, while the first is `∂_k A₀ = D²v[W k]` (the chain rule
+`∂_k[Dv(·, Φ(x₀, ·))] = D²v[∂_k Φ] = D²v[W k]`) composed with the reference `h`-direction second
+fundamental solution curve `V₀`.  This term is *not* among `F_A`, `F_B`, `F_C` (which arise only from
+differentiating the *forcing* `((D²v ∘ W) h) ∘ W`), and it is exactly the operator isolated by
+`norm_coeffVariation_sub_secondDerivComp_le_sq` as the first-order-in-`k` part of `(A₁ − A₀) ∘ V₁`
+(with `k = z − x₀`, `V₀ = Vx`).  Including it in `F₃` is precisely what makes the second-order Taylor
+remainder `‖(D₂(z) − D₂(x₀)) − D₃(z − x₀)‖` genuinely `O(‖z − x₀‖²)`; no `D²v`-symmetry hypothesis is
+required — the plan's open forcing-gap design question resolves in favour of the extra summand.
+
+Given the reference base point `x₀`, resolvent `W = fundamentalSolution hA hΦ' h0'`, continuous second
+fundamental solution curve `W₂` in direction `k`, and continuous `h`-direction second fundamental
+solution curve `V₀`, the corrected third-variation ODE
+`V' = A₀ ∘ V + (F_A + F_B + ((D²v[W k]) ∘ V₀ + F_C))`, `V t₀ = 0` has a global solution `V`.  Proof:
+specialise `exists_hasDerivAt_secondVariation_linearised_dir` with the abstract `F₃` slot instantiated
+to the sum of the coefficient-variation term (continuity by `clm_comp`/`clm_apply`, mirroring the `F_B`
+continuity) and the third-derivative term `F_C` (`continuous_thirdDerivForcing`). -/

+Because that leading term carries the reference `h`-direction second fundamental solution curve `V₀`,
+additivity in `h` requires `V₀` to be additive as well: for the two directions `h₁`, `h₂` with second
+fundamental solution curves `V0₁`, `V0₂` (and the *same* base-direction curve `W₂` in `k`, which is
+independent of `h`), the corrected third variation `V₁₂` for the pair `(h₁ + h₂, V0₁ + V0₂)` equals

+`hasDerivAt_inhomogVariation_add` and Grönwall uniqueness `inhomogVariation_unique` then identify

+/-- **Second-order (quadratic-remainder) Taylor engine for the bilinear composition forcing.**
+The `C³`-layer analogue of the first-order (Lipschitz) perturbation bound
+`norm_bilinearCompForcing_sub_le`: it identifies the **three linear-variation terms** of the
+composition forcing `G(P, A, B) := ((P ∘ A) h) ∘ B` (trilinear in `(P, A, B)`) with a remainder
+controlled *quadratically* by the factor Taylor remainders and first-order gaps.
+
+For base operands `P₀ : E →L (E →L E)`, `A₀, B₀ : E →L E` (sizes `p, a, b`), perturbed operands
+`P₁, A₁, B₁` (first-order gaps `‖P₁ − P₀‖ ≤ δp`, `‖A₁ − A₀‖ ≤ δa`, `‖B₁ − B₀‖ ≤ δb`) and *candidate
+linearisations* `dP, dA, dB` with factor Taylor remainders `‖P₁ − P₀ − dP‖ ≤ εp`,
+`‖A₁ − A₀ − dA‖ ≤ εa`, `‖B₁ − B₀ − dB‖ ≤ εb`,
+`‖(G(P₁,A₁,B₁) − G(P₀,A₀,B₀)) − (G(dP,A₀,B₀) + G(P₀,dA,B₀) + G(P₀,A₀,dB))‖`
+`  ≤ (εp·a·b + p·εa·b + p·a·εb + δp·δa·b + δp·a·δb + p·δa·δb + δp·δa·δb) · ‖h‖`.
+
+Proof: the exact trilinear (multilinear) expansion identity
+`(G(P₁,A₁,B₁) − G(P₀,A₀,B₀)) − (G(dP,A₀,B₀)+G(P₀,dA,B₀)+G(P₀,A₀,dB))`

+(pure `comp`/apply bilinearity, closed by `simp only [comp_sub, sub_comp, sub_apply]; abel`), followed
+by the triangle inequality and the a-priori size bound `norm_bilinearCompForcing_le`
+(`‖G(P,A,B)‖ ≤ ‖P‖·‖A‖·‖B‖·‖h‖`) on each of the seven summands: the three "linear-remainder" terms are
+`O(ε)` and the four cross terms are quadratic/cubic in the first-order gaps `δ`.
+
+In the `C³` bootstrap this is the engine that identifies the two asymmetric composition forcing terms
+`F_A = ((D²v ∘ W₂) h) ∘ W`, `F_B = ((D²v ∘ W) h) ∘ W₂` (with `P₀ = D²v(Φ x₀)`, `A₀ = B₀ = W = D_x Φ`,
+`dA = dB = W₂` the second fundamental solution curve) as the linear-in-`(z − x₀)` part of the
+second-variation forcing gap `F(z) − F(x₀)` (`F(z) = ((D²v(Φ z) ∘ W_z) h) ∘ W_z`), with the required
+`O(‖z − x₀‖²·‖h‖)` remainder — the analytic content of the plan's remaining `(F₁ − F₀)` second-order
+forcing remainder toward `ContDiff ℝ 3`. -/

+representation isometry `curry2`, the multilinear central `C³` Taylor bound becomes a bound on the
+*composition-form* second-derivative gap `curry2 (D²v(Φ z s)) − curry2 (D²v(Φ x₀ s))` and its
+linearisation `curry2 (D³v(Φ x₀ s)(W_x (z − x₀)))` — exactly the shape the trilinear forcing engine
+`norm_bilinearCompForcing_sub_sub_le_sq` consumes as its candidate operator `dP` and quadratic
+remainder `εp = cp · ‖k‖²`:
+`‖(curry2 (D²v(Φ z s)) − curry2 (D²v(Φ x₀ s))) − curry2 (D³v(Φ x₀ s)(W_x (z − x₀)))‖ ≤ Cquad · ‖z − x₀‖²`,
+`Cquad = M · e + N · (L · e · g)`, `e = exp (2 K (T − t₀))`, `g = gronwallBound 0 K 1 (T − t₀)`.
+
+By `curry2_apply`, `curry2 (D²v(·)) : E →L (E →L E)` is the composition form `a b ↦ D²v(·)[a, b]` of the
+field's second derivative, and the candidate `dP = curry2 (D³v(Φ x₀ s)(W_x k))` evaluates to
+`a b ↦ D³v(Φ x₀ s)[W_x k, a, b]` — so `((dP ∘ W) h) ∘ W` is the once-and-twice contracted third
+derivative, i.e. the third-derivative forcing term `F_C`.  Proof: `curry2` is linear (`curry2_sub`), so
+the three-term combination collapses to `curry2 (D²v(Φ z s) − D²v(Φ x₀ s) − D³v(Φ x₀ s)(W_x k))`, whose
+norm is `≤` the multilinear residual norm (`norm_curry2_le`), bounded by the multilinear central `C³`

+/-- **Operator-level `C³` second-order Taylor remainder for the second fundamental solution.**  The
+`D₃`-analogue of the `C²` operator estimate `norm_secondFundamentalSolution_op_sub_le`, and the
+operator-norm packaging of the curve-level Taylor remainder: for the packaged base-point second
+derivatives `D₂z, D₂x : E →L (E →L E)` (each characterised, à la `exists_continuousLinearMap_linearisedVariation`,
+by `D₂· h =` the time-`t` value of the linearised first variation in direction `h`) and the packaged
+design-corrected third variation `D₃ : E →L (E →L (E →L E))` (`D₃ (z − x₀) h =` the time-`t` value of the
+third variation with base direction `z − x₀`), the second-order Taylor remainder is genuinely quadratic:
+`‖(D₂z − D₂x) − D₃ (z − x₀)‖ ≤ C · ‖z − x₀‖²`.
+
+Proof: `ContinuousLinearMap.opNorm_le_bound` reduces to a per-direction bound; for each `h` the three
+canonical curves are built (`exists_hasDerivAt_firstVariation_linearised_dir` for the two second

+the curve values via the characterisations, and the *direction-uniform* curve bound
+`norm_secondFundamentalSolution_sub_sub_thirdVariation_le_sq_uniform` (whose constant is chosen before
+`h`) closes it.  This is exactly the numerator `hasFDerivAt_of_eventually_norm_sub_sub_le_sq` consumes
+(with `k = z − x₀`) to prove `HasFDerivAt (fun z => D₂ z) D₃ x₀` — the second fundamental solution's

+/-- **The characterisation bridge: the packaged third-variation operator discharges the `hD₃` slot of
+the operator numerator.**  Given the canonical linearised-first-variation family `Vfam` and the packaged
+bilinear third-variation operator `D₃` produced by `exists_thirdVariationOperator_of_field` (its
+`Fin 3`-multilinear characterisation `hD₃bilinear`), together with the curry-left compatibility
+`D3vm s (Φ x₀ s) = (D3v s (Φ x₀ s)).curryLeft` between the field's third derivative in its
+`E →L (E[×2] →L E)` (`D3vm`) and `E[×3] →L E` (`D3v`) representations, the operator `D₃` satisfies the
+`hD₃` hypothesis slot required by `norm_secondFundamentalSolution_op_sub_thirdVariation_le_sq_uniformC`
+for the increment direction `z − x₀`.
+
+Proof.  The numerator's slot fixes an inner direction `h`, a base curve `V₀` (an arbitrary linearised
+first variation of direction `h`) and a curve `V` solving the design-corrected third-variation ODE with
+the numerator's base curve `W₂` (a linearised first variation of direction `z − x₀`).  Grönwall
+uniqueness (`inhomogVariation_unique`, coefficient `Dv (Φ x₀ ·)`, same anchor `0` at `t₀`) pins the
+two auxiliary curves to the canonical family: `W₂ = Vfam (z − x₀)` and `V₀ = Vfam h` pointwise.
+Rewriting the third-variation forcing by these two identities and the curry-left compatibility turns it
+term-for-term into the `Fin 3`-multilinear bilinear forcing of `hD₃bilinear` (base direction `k = z − x₀`,
+inner `h`), whose four summands are exactly `((D²v ∘ Vfam k) h) ∘ W₀`, `((D²v ∘ W₀) h) ∘ Vfam k`,
+`((D²v ∘ W₀) k) ∘ Vfam h` and `(curryFin1 (D³v.curryLeft (W₀ k)).curryLeft (W₀ h)) ∘ W₀`.  Then
+`hD₃bilinear (z − x₀) h V` closes the slot with `D₃ (z − x₀) h = V t`.
+
+This is the missing link between the constructive packaged operator and the neighbourhood-uniform
+operator-level `C³` Taylor remainder — the last purely-algebraic step before the everywhere
+`HasFDerivAt (fun z => D₂ z) D₃ x₀` assembly of the resolvent's spatial `ContDiff ℝ 3`. -/

+/-- **Abstract base-point telescoping gap for the fully-contracted third-derivative forcing term.**
+The pure operator-norm skeleton of the base-point Lipschitz gap of the fourth (third-derivative)
+forcing term of the third-variation ODE.  For two third derivatives `T₁, T₂ : E [×3]→L[ℝ] E`, two
+pairs of contraction directions `a₁, a₂` and `b₁, b₂`, and two outer resolvents `C₁, C₂ : E →L[ℝ] E`,
+the fully-contracted forcing operators
+`(continuousMultilinearCurryFin1 ((Tᵢ.curryLeft aᵢ).curryLeft bᵢ)).comp Cᵢ` differ by at most
+`(p·na·nb)·dc + (p·na·db + (p·da + dp·na)·nb)·nc`, given the size bounds `‖T₁‖ ≤ p`, `‖aᵢ‖ ≤ na`,
+`‖bᵢ‖ ≤ nb`, `‖C₂‖ ≤ nc` and the gaps `‖T₁ − T₂‖ ≤ dp`, `‖a₁ − a₂‖ ≤ da`, `‖b₁ − b₂‖ ≤ db`,
+`‖C₁ − C₂‖ ≤ dc`.
+
+Proof: telescope the outer composition
+`(CF Mz).comp C₁ − (CF Mx).comp C₂ = (CF Mz).comp (C₁ − C₂) + (CF Mz − CF Mx).comp C₂`
+(`comp_sub`/`sub_comp`), bound each summand by `opNorm_comp_le`, and fold the
+`continuousMultilinearCurryFin1` isometry (`norm_map`, `map_sub`) to replace `‖CF Mz‖` by `‖Mz‖` and
+`‖CF Mz − CF Mx‖` by `‖Mz − Mx‖`.  The size `‖Mz‖ ≤ p·na·nb` and the double-contraction gap
+`‖Mz − Mx‖ ≤ (p·na)·db + (p·da + dp·na)·nb` both come from the bilinear evaluation gap
+`norm_clm_apply_sub_le` and the `curryLeft` isometry `ContinuousMultilinearMap.curryLeft_norm`.  This
+is the `curryFin1`-composed analogue of `norm_bilinearCompForcing_sub_le` — the perturbation primitive
+for the one third-variation forcing term not of the `((P ∘ A) h) ∘ B` shape. -/

+/-- **Base-point Lipschitz gap of the third-variation curve.**  The `C³`-continuity curve gap and the
+direct one-order-up analogue of `norm_linearisedFirstVariation_baseCurve_sub_le`: for two base points
+`z`, `x₀` with resolvents `W_z`, `W_x`, linearised first-variation curves `Uzk = Vfam^z k`,
+`Uxk = Vfam^x k` (direction `k`) and `Uzh = Vfam^z h`, `Uxh = Vfam^x h` (direction `h`), and the
+third-variation curves `Vz`, `Vx` solving the design-corrected third-variation ODE (coefficient
+`Dv(Φ · s)`, four-term forcing) at `z`, `x₀`, the whole curve difference is `O(‖z − x₀‖·‖k‖·‖h‖)`
+uniformly on `[t₀, T]`:
+`‖Vz t − Vx t‖ ≤ Cλ · ‖z − x₀‖ · ‖k‖ · ‖h‖ · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀)`
+with `Cλ = L·exp⁴·g·(3C'²g + C'') + 3·exp⁴·g·(2M₂C' + 4LC'²g) + exp⁴·(3C''Lg + M₃)`,
+`exp = exp(K(T−t₀))`, `g = gronwallBound 0 K 1 (T−t₀)`.
+
+Proof: `norm_inhomogVariation_sub_le_of_gap` fed the coefficient gap `α = L·exp·‖z − x₀‖`
+(`norm_derivField_apply_flow_sub_le`), the second-curve size `N = ‖Vx s‖`-bound
+(`norm_thirdVariation_coeff_le` with the `Vfam^x` sizes `‖Uxk‖ ≤ C'exp²‖k‖g`, `‖Uxh‖ ≤ C'exp²‖h‖g` from
+`norm_linearisedFirstVariation_le`), and the four-term forcing gap `β`
+(`norm_thirdVariationForcing_baseCurve_sub_le`); the `(α·N + β)·gronwall` constant collapses to `Cλ` by
+`ring`.  This is the size datum that `ContinuousLinearMap.opNorm_le_bound` (twice, over `k` then `h`)
+turns into the Lipschitz continuity `‖D₃fam z − D₃fam x₀‖ ≤ Cλ·gronwall·‖z − x₀‖` of the third
+fundamental solution — the sole remaining ingredient of the resolvent's spatial `ContDiff ℝ 3`. -/

+/-- **Per-direction operator-norm base-point gap of the packaged third fundamental solution `D₃`.**
+The `C³` analogue of the `hkey` operator-difference bound buried in
+`exists_flow_contDiff_two_of_lipschitz_secondDeriv` (there for the *second* fundamental solution
+`D₂`), extracted as a standalone reusable lemma — the operator-level companion of the third-variation
+curve base gap `norm_thirdVariation_baseCurve_sub_le`.
+
+For two base points `z, x₀`, the packaged design-corrected third-variation operators `D₃z, D₃x`
+(each characterised bilinearly through its canonical linearised-first-variation family `Vfamz`,
+`Vfamx` by `hD₃z`, `hD₃x`, i.e. the `hD₃bilinear` slot of `exists_thirdVariationOperator_of_field`)
+obey the per-direction (in the outer base direction `k`) base-point Lipschitz bound
+
+`‖D₃z k − D₃x k‖ ≤ Cλ · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀) · ‖z − x₀‖ · ‖k‖`,
+
+with the *same* neighbourhood-uniform constant `Cλ` as `norm_thirdVariation_baseCurve_sub_le`
+(the `L·exp⁴·g·(3C'²g + C'') + 3·exp⁴·g·(2M₂C' + 4LC'²g) + exp⁴·(3C''Lg + M₃)` tower).
+
+The bound is stated per outer direction `k` (with the *double* continuous-linear-map norm
+`‖D₃z k − D₃x k‖`, `D₃z k : E →L (E →L E)`) rather than on the full triple operator `‖D₃z − D₃x‖`
+because the `Norm`/`NormedSpace` instance on `E →L E →L E →L E` does not synthesize in Mathlib
+v4.29.1 (the endomorphism-ring/module diamond blocks `NormedSpace ℝ (E →L E →L E)`); the
+per-`k` form carries exactly the same continuity content one norm level below.
+
+Proof: `ContinuousLinearMap.opNorm_le_bound` (over the inner direction `h`) reduces the double-operator
+gap to the scalar time-`t` value gap `‖D₃z k h − D₃x k h‖`.  For each `h`,
+`exists_hasDerivAt_secondVariation_linearised_dir_of_thirdDeriv_coeff` (fed the two canonical family
+curves `Vfamz k`, `Vfamz h` / `Vfamx k`, `Vfamx h`) builds the two third-variation curves `Vz`, `Vx`;
+the bilinear characterisations `hD₃z`, `hD₃x` identify `D₃z k h = Vz t`, `D₃x k h = Vx t`; and
+`norm_thirdVariation_baseCurve_sub_le` bounds `‖Vz t − Vx t‖`.  This is the operator-continuity datum
+feeding `Continuous D₃fam` toward the resolvent's spatial `ContDiff ℝ 3`. -/

+/-- **Per-direction Lipschitz continuity of the packaged third fundamental solution family.**  For
+the packaged design-corrected third-variation operator family `D₃fam : E → (E →L E →L E →L E)` (with
+its canonical linearised-first-variation family `Vfamfam` and bilinear characterisation `hD₃famchar`,
+as produced base-point-by-base-point by `exists_thirdVariationOperator_of_field`), the map
+`z ↦ D₃fam z k` — for each fixed outer direction `k`, valued in the *double* continuous-linear-map
+space `E →L E →L E` — is Lipschitz with constant `Cλ · gronwallBound 0 K 1 (t − t₀) · ‖k‖`.
+
+This is the genuine continuity content of the third fundamental solution that survives the Mathlib
+v4.29.1 obstruction on the triple operator norm (`Norm`/`NormedSpace ℝ (E →L E →L E)` do not
+synthesize — the endomorphism-ring/module diamond): although `Continuous D₃fam` cannot be phrased
+through the triple operator norm, its per-direction slices `z ↦ D₃fam z k` land in the well-normed
+double space and are honestly Lipschitz — i.e. `D₃fam` is continuous in the strong operator topology,
+direction by direction.
+
+Proof: `LipschitzWith.of_dist_le_mul`; the base-point gap
+`norm_thirdFundamentalSolution_apply_baseCurve_sub_le` (fed `Vfamfam z`, `Vfamfam x₀` and the two
+bilinear characterisations) supplies exactly `‖D₃fam z k − D₃fam x₀ k‖ ≤ Cλ·g·‖z − x₀‖·‖k‖`, and a
+`ring` reassociation matches the Lipschitz constant `Cλ·g·‖k‖`. -/

+
+The proof assembles three now-available pieces for a **single shared** flow family `Φ`:

+# `C¹` dependence of the flow on initial data from a *merely continuous* spatial derivative
+
+This module closes the "general (non-Lipschitz) modulus" step flagged as remaining in the
+`C¹` layer of the smooth-dependence tower (`SmoothDependenceCk`).  The practical
+`C¹`-dependence entry point proved there, `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_lipschitz_deriv_eventually`,
+requires the field's spatial derivative `Dv` to be *Lipschitz* on the trajectory chords.  A
+genuine `C^1` field only supplies a *jointly continuous* derivative — no Lipschitz constant.
+
+Here we remove the Lipschitz hypothesis for a **finite-dimensional** state space (the manifold
+model space), extracting a monotone modulus of continuity `ω → 0` from the joint continuity of
+`Dv` via Heine–Cantor uniform continuity on the compact trajectory tube.  The self-contained
+analytic core is `exists_monotone_modulus_of_continuousOn_tube`: a continuous function that
+vanishes along the anchor of a compact tube admits a monotone, `0⁺`-vanishing modulus dominating
+it on the tube.  Feeding it to `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_uniform_deriv_modulus_eventually` yields the
+unconditional `C¹` flow-dependence theorem `hasFDerivAt_flow_of_continuous_deriv` for any field
+with a globally-defined, jointly continuous spatial derivative.
+
+Everything is proved sorry-free from Mathlib and the `SmoothDependenceCk` tower; no PDE or
+manifold content is used.

+/-- **Monotone modulus of continuity on a compact tube.**  Let `E` be a proper (e.g. finite
+dimensional) normed space, `T ⊆ ℝ` compact, and `f : ℝ → E → ℝ` a function whose uncurrying is
+continuous, nonnegative, and vanishes at the origin over `T` (`f s 0 = 0` for `s ∈ T`).  Then
+there is a modulus `ω : ℝ → ℝ` which is nonnegative, monotone, tends to `0` as its argument
+tends to `0⁺`, and dominates `f` on the radius-`R` tube: `f s w ≤ ω ‖w‖` whenever `s ∈ T` and
+`‖w‖ ≤ R`.
+
+The witness is `ω r = ⨆` (sup) of `f` over the sub-tube of radius `min r R`; boundedness comes
+from compactness, monotonicity from the nested tubes, and the `0⁺` limit from Heine–Cantor
+uniform continuity of `f` on the full compact tube. -/

+# Manifold-level (`ContMDiff` / `HasMFDerivAt`) smooth dependence of the ODE flow on initial data
+
+The Banach smooth-dependence towers `SmoothDependenceCk` and `FlowDiffeomorphism` establish, for a
+flow family `Φ : E → ℝ → E` of a `C^{3,1}` time-dependent vector field `v` on a real Banach space
+`E`, that the time-`t` flow map `x ↦ Φ x t` is a **`C³` diffeomorphism** of the state space (bijective,
+two-sided-regular, both directions `ContDiff ℝ 3`).  Those results are stated entirely in the
+*Fréchet* (`ContDiff` / `HasFDerivAt` / `IsIntegralCurve`) vocabulary of `Mathlib.Analysis`.
+
+Item 2's compact-manifold gauge-flow constructor, however, consumes this data in the *manifold*
+(`ContMDiff` / `HasMFDerivAt`) vocabulary of `Mathlib.Geometry.Manifold` — cf.
+`GaugeReduction/GaugeFlowAssembly.lean`, whose reduction target `gaugeFlow_of_inverse_flow` needs
+mutually inverse `ContMDiff I I 3` time-slice maps together with the manifold ODE derivative equation
+`HasMFDerivAt (fun τ ↦ F τ x) t ((1).smulRight (X t (F t x)))`.
+
+This module supplies the missing **Fréchet → manifold bridge** for the model manifold `𝓘(ℝ, E)`
+(the state space `E` equipped with its canonical trivial model-with-corners).  Everything is a
+transport of the already-proved Banach tower through the standard Mathlib identifications
+`contMDiff_iff_contDiff`, `hasMFDerivAt_iff_hasFDerivAt`, `hasDerivAt_iff_hasFDerivAt`; no new PDE or
+analytic content is introduced, and nothing here touches the heavy gauge files.  Because the
+general-manifold smooth-dependence theorem is proved chart-by-chart and each chart *is* the model
+space `E`, this model-manifold layer is the load-bearing chart-level core.
+
+* `hasMFDerivAt_of_isIntegralCurve` — the manifold ODE derivative form of an integral curve:
+  from `IsIntegralCurve γ v`, for every `t`,
+  `HasMFDerivAt 𝓘(ℝ, ℝ) 𝓘(ℝ, E) γ t ((1 : ℝ →L[ℝ] ℝ).smulRight (v t (γ t)))`
+  (exactly the `hderiv` shape the gauge-flow assembly consumes).
+* `contMDiff_three_flow_apply_of_lipschitz_thirdDeriv` — the manifold form of the spatial `C³`
+  regularity of the flow map: `ContMDiff 𝓘(ℝ, E) 𝓘(ℝ, E) 3 (fun z ↦ Φ z t)`, for every `t`.
+* `exists_flow_contMDiff_three` — field-data-only manifold smooth-dependence existence: a flow family
+  `Φ` (anchored at `t₀`, integral curve of `v`) whose time-`t` map is `ContMDiff 𝓘(ℝ, E) 𝓘(ℝ, E) 3`.
+* `exists_flow_contMDiff_three_diffeomorph` — the manifold `C³` **self-diffeomorphism family**: for
+  every `t` the time-`t` map has a two-sided inverse `ψ`, and both `x ↦ Φ x t` and `ψ` are
+  `ContMDiff 𝓘(ℝ, E) 𝓘(ℝ, E) 3`.  This is the model-manifold instance of the diffeomorphism data the
+  compact-manifold gauge flow of Item 2 consumes.
+* `exists_flow_contMDiff_three_gaugeData` — the full bundle: anchoring, the manifold ODE derivative
+  equation, and the per-time `C³` self-diffeomorphism data, packaged in the exact shapes
+  `gaugeFlow_of_inverse_flow` needs (for the model manifold `𝓘(ℝ, E)`).
+
+Everything is proved sorry-free; axioms `propext`/`Classical.choice`/`Quot.sound` only.

+/-- **Banach-chart assembly from bounded/Lipschitz field data.**
+A time-dependent Banach representative `A` of the Ricci-DeTurck operator that, on the closed
+`‖·‖`-ball of radius `a` about the initial metric `g₀`, is uniformly `Kpic`-Lipschitz in the state,
+is bounded by `L`, is continuous in time, obeys the one-sided Picard-Lindelöf interval-length
+constraint `L·(T − t₀) ≤ a`, is `Kstate`-Lipschitz on the positive-definite locus, and agrees
+pointwise with the intrinsic Ricci-DeTurck right-hand side of some geometric background, assembles
+into a `TimeDependentGeometricRicciDeTurckBanachChart`.
+
+The Picard-Lindelöf datum (`picard`) is discharged *here* from the bounded/Lipschitz/time-continuous
+field data by the standard one-sided interval-length computation
+`L · max (T − t₀) (t₀ − t₀) = L · (T − t₀) ≤ a − 0`.  This isolates exactly the analytic inputs a
+*bounded* (mild / regularised) chart operator must supply on a ball about the initial metric: the raw
+second-order Ricci-DeTurck operator is unbounded on the `C⁰` section space, so it cannot inhabit
+`IsPicardLindelof` directly — a bounded representative is what makes the Banach Cauchy-Lipschitz
+requirement honest.  This is the `chart`-side constructor consumed by
+`intrinsicLocalExistenceUniquenessFamily_of_ricciDeTurckChartClosureData`. -/

+positive-radius ambient interval closure data selects the standard metric-cone shrink, and the
+existing terminal-fit compatibility for reverse encodings then produces the genuine symmetric-carrier
+closure datum together with the chosen-background, intrinsic, and ordinary theorem packages.

+This module records the exact scalar calculation for a flat one-dimensional
+background. It is deliberately independent of the intrinsic DeTurck API:
+`m`, `d`, and `h` stand for the coordinate metric entry and its first and
+second spatial jets. The result exhibits the nonlinear reaction term that is

+# Atlas coordinate coefficients for the tensor-heat cutoff commutator
+
+For each member of the finite tensor-heat atlas, this file constructs the
+actual first- and zeroth-order coefficient fields of the partition cutoff
+commutator.  It proves that they are `C¹` on the full chart/frame overlap and
+then extends them to globally bounded Lipschitz fields without changing them
+near the compact partition piece.

+# Neumann correction of the geometric tensor-heat atlas
+
+This file isolates the final forcing-space correction in the finite-atlas
+construction. A commutator lift represents the genuine geometric cutoff
+residual back in the finite product of coordinate Holder spaces. Once that
+lift has norm below one, its Neumann inverse produces an exact solution of
+the actual connection heat equation.
+
+The existence and short-time bound for the lift are kept separate: this
+module proves the exact algebraic and geometric consequence of that concrete
+atlas estimate without replacing the connection Laplacian by a coordinate
+surrogate.

+# Buffered cutoffs for the finite tensor-heat atlas
+
+Each member of the subordinate partition has compact topological support
+strictly inside its radius-adapted chart patch.  This file chooses a second
+smooth cutoff which is identically one on a neighborhood of that compact
+piece and remains supported in the patch.  Multiplying the uncut local
+solution by the buffered cutoff gives a globally `C²` tensor field without
+changing the actual partition-of-unity summand.

+# Initial data in the finite tensor-heat atlas
+
+This file upgrades the zero-trace local inverse to the affine Cauchy solver
+needed for arbitrary initial data.  An initial tensor is represented by its

+# Local uniqueness on shortened tensor-heat atlas cylinders
+
+The atlas is chosen with a strict one-third frozen post-error margin.  On a
+shorter terminal interval we reuse the genuine frozen inverse by the same
+extension--solution--restriction construction as the local atlas inverse.
+The short post-error is the long post-error sandwiched between restriction
+and extension, hence still has norm strictly below one.  Genuine Euclidean
+heat uniqueness therefore propagates to every local operator of the
+restricted atlas.

+# The geometric residual of the finite tensor-heat atlas
+
+This file computes the actual connection-heat residual of every partitioned
+local inverse.  The identity is global in space: on the support of a
+partition function the stored normalized coordinate equation supplies the
+source, while off that support the source term vanishes.  The only remaining
+term is the genuine connection-Laplacian cutoff commutator.

+# Restricting a tensor-heat parametrix atlas in normalized time
+
+The geometric atlas and all of its spatial coefficient data are independent
+of the terminal time.  This file restricts a fixed atlas from `(t₀,T]` to
+any shorter normalized cylinder `(t₀,S]`, reusing the original local
+inverses by extension and restriction.  The resulting object is again an
+honest `FiniteTensorHeatParametrixAtlas`, so the already verified cutoff and
+geometric-residual theory applies without new analytic hypotheses.

+
+The spatial extensions and transition fields are fixed once on a parent
+atlas.  Only their time domains and the local inverses are restricted.  This
+keeps every geometric multiplier uniformly fixed while the lower-order
+zero-trace factor tends to zero with the cylinder thickness.

+# Quantitative short-time tensor-heat commutator contraction
+
+This file bounds the concrete geometric commutator lift by two fixed finite
+atlas constants times the zero-trace gradient and value interpolation
+factors.  Both factors tend to zero with the cylinder thickness, producing
+an actual time-restricted atlas whose commutator lift has norm below one.

+A common physical terminal time does not correspond to the same normalized
+terminal time in charts of different radii.  This file records the correct
+chart-dependent normalized cylinders and reconstructs their local solutions
+on one common physical interval.  No long-cylinder solution is evaluated

+# Uniform short-time restriction of the tensor-heat atlas inverse
+
+The local atlas inverse is constructed once on `(t₀,T]`.  This file shows
+that it can be reused on every shorter cylinder `(t₀,S]`: extend the short
+forcing by the canonical clamped extension, apply the original inverse, and
+restrict the resulting genuine second jet back to `S`.
+
+The resulting inverse remains an exact zero-trace right inverse for the
+restricted coordinate operator.  Its norm is bounded by three times the
+original inverse norm, independently of `S`.  This removes the circularity
+that would arise from rebuilding the local inverse after choosing a thin
+time horizon.

+short-cylinder higher jets.  Composing the higher commutator with the

+This file passes from the ambient covariant-two-tensor well-posedness theorem
+to the advertised symmetric system.  Slot transposition and symmetrization are
+performed on the actual atlas higher jets.  Their reconstructed geometric
+fields are shown to be the genuine fiberwise transpose and symmetrization,
+and the latter commutes with the intrinsic connection Laplacian.

+# The connection Laplacian as a coordinate second-order operator
+
+This module is the exact geometry-to-analysis bridge for the tensor heat
+equation.  In one fixed manifold chart and one genuine tangent-bundle
+trivialization, it assembles the coefficients of the actual connection
+Laplacian into bounded linear maps
+
+`A : D²u ↦ u`, `B : Du ↦ u`, and `C : u ↦ u`.
+
+The main identity is derived from the intrinsic connection Laplacian.  The
+principal coefficient is the inverse Gram matrix of the Riemannian metric;
+the lower-order coefficients contain the derivatives of the moving tangent
+frame and all induced connection coefficients.  No coordinate PDE is
+postulated.

+# Quantitative coordinate perturbation of frozen tensor heat
+
+This file identifies the finite-cylinder coordinate operator
+
+`∂ₜ - A D² - B D - C`
+
+with the genuine frozen tensor-heat operator plus three explicit errors.  The
+errors are estimated *after* the frozen inverse.  This distinction retains
+the small-time gains of the value and gradient components and the spatial
+oscillation gain of the Hessian component, rather than bounding everything
+by the full Schauder norm of the inverse.

+# Ellipticity and the frozen operator for tensor heat flow
+
+This file proves that the principal coefficient obtained from the *actual*
+connection Laplacian is strongly elliptic.  The proof is geometric rather
+than axiomatic: the local tangent frame has a positive-definite Riemannian
+Gram matrix, its inverse is positive definite, and the frame pulled into a
+manifold chart is still a basis of the model space.
+
+The final section freezes this coefficient at a chart point and packages
+`∂ₜ - AₓD²` as a bounded operator between the finite-cylinder parabolic
+Banach spaces.  Its evaluation theorem is the bridge needed by the frozen
+parametrix construction.

+This module upgrades the coordinatewise integral estimates in `HeatKernel1D` to
+actual second spatial derivatives of the `n`-dimensional heat semigroup.  It is
+the analytic local model for the connection heat equation on symmetric
+two-tensors: in a parallel frame the rough Laplacian acts componentwise.
+
+The results here are deliberately stated first for scalar components.  Later in

+# A finite radius-adapted tensor-heat atlas
+
+This module freezes all choices made by the local tensor-heat construction:
+the radius at every possible center, the localized coefficient data and its
+zero-trace inverse, and the finite smooth partition selected by compactness.
+
+For a nonempty closed manifold, the finitely many selected radii have a
+strictly positive minimum.  Parabolic scaling therefore gives one strictly
+positive physical time interval common to every reconstructed local field.
+The final construction in this file is the genuine finite tensor sum on that
+common interval; it is not merely a family of unrelated coordinate solutions.

+# Exact local equations for the finite tensor-heat atlas
+
+This file starts the equation-level verification of the finite atlas.  It
+records the pointwise consequence of each stored coordinate right inverse and
+checks that the index convention used by geometric reconstruction recovers
+the pair-indexed coordinate solution without a transpose.

+# Classical tensor heat fields on a finite forward interval
+
+The global-in-time `ClassicalTensorHeatField` is intentionally too strong for
+a parabolic Cauchy problem constructed on one finite cylinder.  This module
+records exactly the available geometric regularity: genuine
+connection-Laplacian domain membership for every positive-time slice and an
+actual time derivative only in the open time interval.
+
+The initial value is expressed separately by `HasInitialTrace`, as convergence
+from `(t₀,T]`.  Thus no arbitrary value of a totalized coordinate
+representative at the missing initial face can masquerade as initial data.

+# Finite-cylinder tensor-heat reconstruction on manifold patches
+
+This file connects the finite-cylinder coordinate Banach solution to genuine
+covariant two-tensors.  A normalized coordinate slice is proved `C²` on its
+radius-adapted manifold patch.  Multiplication by a subordinate smooth cutoff
+then produces a global tensor section in the actual connection-Laplacian
+domain.
+
+Time rescaling and the finite parametrix sum are kept separate: the results
+here concern one normalized positive-time slice and make no false claim of
+regularity at the missing initial face.

+# Finite sums of classical tensor-heat fields
+
+The local-to-global parametrix is a finite partition-of-unity sum.  This file
+establishes the exact algebraic bridge on the genuine geometric domain:
+finite sums preserve the stored spatial and temporal differentiability, the
+actual connection heat operator distributes over the sum, initial traces add,
+and symmetry is preserved.

+# A genuine inverse for the frozen tensor-heat operator
+
+At a point of a Riemannian chart, the inverse-metric principal contraction
+is the trace in an orthonormal tangent basis.  Pulling that basis through the
+inverse chart derivative therefore conjugates the actual frozen operator to
+the standard coefficientwise Euclidean heat operator.  This file proves the
+normalization identity and packages the resulting bounded zero-initial

+# Geometric regularity of the tensor heat coefficients
+
+This file derives the `C¹` regularity required by the local parabolic
+construction from the actual Riemannian inverse metric, moving tangent frame,
+and induced connections on covariant two- and three-tensors.  In particular,
+the assembled principal, first-order, and zeroth-order coefficient fields are
+not independent analytic hypotheses.

+# Canonical zero trace of the corrected local tensor-heat solver
+
+The corrected local parametrix was already accompanied by an explicit
+closed-time value path.  Uniqueness of the endpoint completion identifies
+that path with the canonical bounded initial trace of the higher parabolic
+Banach element.  Consequently the Neumann-corrected local right inverse lands
+in the closed zero-trace subspace.

+# Local inversion by perturbing the frozen tensor-heat operator
+
+This file performs the functional-analytic correction needed after freezing
+the genuine tensor-heat operator at a chart point.  The exact finite-cylinder
+frozen inverse is used as a right parametrix for any nearby bounded operator.
+If the resulting perturbation has norm below one, a Neumann series produces
+an exact bounded right inverse, together with its quantitative Schauder
+estimate.
+
+The hypothesis is intentionally the single concrete estimate which remains
+for the geometric localization argument: the variable-coefficient operator,
+including lower-order connection terms and cutoff commutators, must be close
+to its frozen principal part after composition with the frozen inverse.

+# Local reconstruction of covariant two-tensors
+
+This file gives the algebraic synthesis map used by the manifold tensor-heat
+parametrix. A finite matrix of coefficients is first made into a continuous
+bilinear form on the model space and then pulled back through the genuine
+tangent-bundle trivialization. On the trivialization domain, evaluating the
+reconstructed tensor on the actual local frame recovers the original matrix
+entry exactly.
+
+The reconstruction is totalized by zero outside the trivialization domain.
+Later a partition-of-unity function whose topological support lies inside that
+domain erases this arbitrary branch before differentiability is used.

+# Local tensor-heat inversion after cutoff and parabolic rescaling
+
+This file closes the quantitative localization step in the tensor-heat
+parametrix.  A normalized cutoff freezes the principal coefficient away from
+the chart core, while parabolic rescaling gives weights `|r|`, `|r|`, and
+`r²` to the principal oscillation, first-order term, and zeroth-order term.
+Consequently the coordinate error tends to zero with the chart radius, so a
+genuine local right inverse exists for every sufficiently small nonzero
+radius.

+# Calibrated local frames and first-order parallel extensions
+
+This module records two small but useful bridges for pointwise tensor
+calculations.  A compatible local trivialization can be calibrated so that
+its standard local frame takes any prescribed tangent-fibre basis at the
+center.  Separately, the existing first-order extension construction gives a
+family with those prescribed values and vanishing covariant derivative at the
+center.
+
+The second construction is deliberately only a first-jet assertion here.  It
+does not claim that the resulting global sections form a local frame on a
+neighbourhood; that open-invertibility step is kept separate.

+# Intrinsic DeTurck geometry for Ricci flow
+
+This internal file adds the geometric DeTurck data attached to the intrinsic
+Ricci-flow boundary from `LocalExistence.lean`.
+
+It defines:
+
+- the trace endomorphism / one-form / vector field built from the difference
+  between the chosen Levi-Civita family and a background connection family,
+- the corresponding intrinsic DeTurck correction to the metric equation,
+- the gauge-fixed Ricci-DeTurck right-hand side and its reduction to intrinsic
+  Ricci flow when the background family is Levi-Civita.
+
+These lemmas are proof-bearing preparatory infrastructure only. They do not
+complete roadmap point 4 by themselves.

+# Continuity of the covariant derivative of the intrinsic DeTurck vector field
+
+The intrinsic Ricci–DeTurck reaction term is built from the *symmetrized covariant derivative* of the
+intrinsic DeTurck vector field, `intrinsicDeTurckCorrection g background t x u v = (g t).inner x (∇W u) v
++ (g t).inner x u (∇W v)`, where `∇W = (chosenLeviCivitaFamily g t) (intrinsicDeTurckVectorField g
+background t)`.  Seeing this as a `ContinuousSectionSpace` value (the geometric operator `A` of the
+Ricci–DeTurck chart) requires that `∇W` be a *continuous* `Hom(TM, TM)`-section for a merely-`C¹`
+DeTurck vector field.
+
+This module supplies exactly that regularity by consuming the fiber-norm-free tangent-bundle level
+downgrade `CovariantDerivative.TangentFrame.contMDiffCovariantDerivativeOn_zero_of_contMDiffCovariantDerivative_one`
+(a `C¹` covariant derivative on the tangent bundle sends a `C¹` section to a *continuous*
+`Hom(TM, TM)`-section).  Because that downgrade carries **no** `Π` fiber-norm hypothesis, applying it to
+`chosenLeviCivitaFamily g t` — whose `C¹` covariant-derivative class comes from
+`someContMDiffLeviCivitaConnection_contMDiff` — does **not** re-trigger the transported-instance norm
+diamond on `NormedAddCommGroup (TangentSpace I x)` (Riemannian vs. flat-`E`).
+
+* `chosenLeviCivitaFamily_contMDiffCovariantDerivativeOn_zero` — the canonical smooth Levi-Civita slice
+  is a `C⁰` covariant derivative on every open set.
+* `intrinsicDeTurckVectorField_covariantDerivative_contMDiffOn_zero` /
+  `intrinsicDeTurckVectorField_covariantDerivative_contMDiff_zero` — for a `C¹` background connection
+  slice, `∇W` is a continuous `Hom(TM, TM)`-section (locally, resp. globally).

+# Assembling the intrinsic DeTurck reaction operator on the section space
+
+The intrinsic Ricci–DeTurck reaction term is the two-sided derivation
+`intrinsicDeTurckCorrection g background t x u v = (g t).inner x (∇W u) v + (g t).inner x u (∇W v)`,
+where `∇W = (chosenLeviCivitaFamily g t) (intrinsicDeTurckVectorField g background t)` is the
+covariant derivative of the intrinsic DeTurck vector field.  The frozen-coefficient section-space
+representative of this operator is the bounded operator
+`ContinuousSectionSpace.bilinearDerivationField` (built in `VectorBundle/RiemannianSection.lean`),
+whose fiberwise action on a section `s` is `x ↦ s(P·, ·) + s(·, P·)` for a continuous
+tangent-endomorphism section `P` (its defining identity is `bilinearDerivationField_apply_apply`).
+
+This module supplies the **assembly identity** connecting the two at the fiber-value level: with the
+frozen coefficient `P := ∇W`, the fiberwise two-sided derivation of any `ContinuousSectionSpace`
+element `sMetric` that agrees pointwise with the metric `(g t).inner` reproduces exactly the geometric
+`intrinsicDeTurckCorrectionSection`.  Composed with `bilinearDerivationField_apply_apply` this is the
+DeTurck half of the chart operator `A`'s `geometric` identification field: the abstract bounded
+reaction operator and the concrete geometric DeTurck term coincide on the metric section.
+
+The result is stated at the fiber-value level (the two-sided derivation applied to `sMetric`) rather
+than through a formed `bilinearDerivationField` instance, because instantiating that operator at the
+tangent bundle `W := TangentSpace I` triggers an instance diamond: the operator-norm size datum
+`‖P x‖` needs `Norm (TangentSpace I x →L[ℝ] TangentSpace I x)`, which is only reachable through the
+definitional equality `TangentSpace I x = E`, and it must moreover be mutually consistent with the
+`FiberBundle`/`VectorBundle` tangent structure that the same operator demands.  The fiber-value form
+here is exactly what such a formed operator evaluates to, so it is directly consumable by the chart
+assembly once that instance datum is supplied at the construction site.

+# Torsion symmetry of the explicit Levi-Civita correction
+
+The explicit correction of a background affine connection has precisely the
+antisymmetric part needed to cancel the background torsion.  In particular,
+it is symmetric in its two tangent inputs when the background is torsion-free.
+This is a pointwise algebraic fact; it makes no curvature, cancellation, or
+regularity assertion.

+# Coordinate Picard–Lindelöf estimates for the DeTurck gauge field
+
+This module proves the seven component estimates required by
+`ModelGaugeFlowODE.isPicardLindelof_variationalVectorField_of_component_closedBall_continuity`
+for the coordinate expression of the intrinsic DeTurck gauge field:
+
+* `hf_lip`, `hDf_lip` : spatial Lipschitz bounds on a closed coordinate ball,
+* `hf_bound`, `hD_bound` : uniform norm bounds on that ball,
+* `hA_bound` : operator-norm bound on the initial variational ball,
+* `hf_cont`, `hDf_cont` : continuity in time at fixed space points,
+* `hmul` : the Picard interval-size inequality, for an explicit choice of
+  `tmin`, `tmax`, `r`.
+
+## Definitions
+
+For a metric family `g`, a background connection family `background`, and a base
+point `p₀`, `deTurckGaugeCoordinateField g background p₀ : ℝ → E → E` is the
+chart representative of the gauge field in `extChartAt I p₀`, and
+`deTurckGaugeCoordinateDerivative` is its spatial derivative `fderiv ℝ`.
+
+CONVENTION: `intrinsicDeTurckGaugeField` is the *negated* DeTurck vector field;
+the definitions below preserve this negation (the chart differential is linear).
+
+## Proved vs. assumed
+
+The main theorem `deTurckGaugeCoordinatePicardEstimates` proves all seven
+estimates (plus `hmul`) from an explicit regularity package:
+
+* `hreg` : the coordinate field is `C²` in space, uniformly for `t` in a
+  reference time interval;
+* `hjoint` : joint time–space continuity of the field and its derivative;
+* `hjoint2` : joint time–space continuity of the second derivative.
+
+The passage from this package to the seven estimates is proved here with no
+`sorry`, using standard Mathlib lemmas (mean value theorem on convex sets,
+compactness bounds).  The regularity package itself is **not** proved in the
+repository — see "Missing regularity" below — and is therefore taken as an
+explicit hypothesis, stated precisely.
+
+## Missing regularity (exact statement)
+
+The following is NOT established anywhere in the repository.  Let
+`f := deTurckGaugeCoordinateField (I := I) (M := M) g background p₀`,
+`y₀ := extChartAt I p₀ p₀`.  The missing input is:
+
+> For every `t₀ : ℝ` and `a : ℝ≥0` with `0 < (a : ℝ)`:
+> 1. `∀ t ∈ Icc (t₀ - 1) (t₀ + 1), ContDiffOn ℝ 2 (f t) (ball y₀ ((a : ℝ) + 1))`;
+> 2. `ContinuousOn (fun p : ℝ × E => (f p.1 p.2, fderiv ℝ (f p.1) p.2))
+>      (Icc (t₀ - 1) (t₀ + 1) ×ˢ closedBall y₀ (a : ℝ))`;
+> 3. `ContinuousOn (fun p : ℝ × E => fderiv ℝ (fderiv ℝ (f p.1)) p.2)
+>      (Icc (t₀ - 1) (t₀ + 1) ×ˢ closedBall y₀ (a : ℝ))`.
+
+What the repository *does* contain: at fixed time `t`, the (raised, unnegated)
+DeTurck vector field section is `C¹` on a patch —
+`intrinsicDeTurckVectorField_contMDiffOn_of_contMDiffOn_intrinsicDeTurckOneForm`
+gives `ContMDiffOn I (I.prod 𝓘(ℝ, E)) 1` — and negation preserves this for the
+gauge field.  What is missing: (a) the upgrade from `C¹` to `C²` (needed for the
+Lipschitz bound on the derivative, `hDf_lip`), even in fixed-time form; and
+(b) *any* time regularity — `MetricFamily` and `ConnectionFamily` carry no
+time-continuity assumptions, so joint time–space continuity of the coordinate
+field (needed for `hf_cont`, `hDf_cont`, and the uniform-in-time bounds
+`hf_bound`, `hD_bound`) is entirely absent.

+From `C²`-in-space regularity (uniform in time) plus joint time–space continuity

+Picard–Lindelöf component estimates follow on a suitably small time interval
+around `t₀`.  The proof is pure analysis: the mean value theorem on the convex
+compact ball `closedBall y₀ a`, plus uniform bounds from compactness of the
+reference space-time product. -/

+/-! ## Sharp joint-regularity gap and the conditional variational chain
+
+### What the records prove vs. what the variational theory needs
+
+The Banach fixed-point theory (`ContinuousSectionSpace` with the sup norm)
+gives `C⁰` joint control of the metric. `MetricFamily` gives `C²` spatial
+regularity at each fixed time, so the DeTurck coordinate field
+`f := deTurckGaugeCoordinateField g background p₀` is `C¹` in space at each
+fixed time.
+
+The variational ODE theory needs joint time–space continuity of `f` and of
+its spatial derivative `Df`. This is parabolic regularity for the
+Ricci–DeTurck equation. It is **not** proved from the current records.
+
+The definition below states this gap precisely, as a `Prop` about the
+coordinate field. The theorems after it prove the *complete* conditional
+chain:
+
+> joint regularity  ⟹  variational local flow  ⟹  spatial derivative
+> identification  ⟹  `ChosenIntrinsicDeTurckDiffeomorph3GaugeFlowVariationalData`.
+
+This isolates the milestone to a single sharp analytic estimate. It does
+*not* close the milestone: the regularity hypothesis is an explicit open
+goal, not a derived fact. See `DeTurckCoordinatePicardEstimates` for the
+stronger `C²` package and its documentation of the same gap.
+-/
+
+/-- Minimal joint regularity for the DeTurck coordinate field.
+
+`field_jointContinuous`: the coordinate field `(t, y) ↦ f t y` is jointly
+continuous. `deriv_jointContinuous`: its spatial derivative
+`(t, y) ↦ fderiv ℝ (f t) y` is jointly continuous.
+
+Together with the `C¹`-in-space regularity from `MetricFamily` (fixed-time
+`C²` metrics give a `C¹` DeTurck field), this is exactly what the linear
+variational ODE route needs: a jointly continuous field that is locally
+Lipschitz in space, with jointly continuous spatial derivative. No `C²`
+assumption is made here — the modulus-of-continuity extraction criterion
+(`flow_timeSlice_hasFDerivAt_of_Df_sub_bound_...`) needs only uniform
+continuity of `Df` on compact tubes, not Lipschitz `Df`.
+
+This is the precise analytic gap: parabolic regularity for Ricci–DeTurck.
+It is stated, not proved. -/

+# Point-4 Milestone 4.1: gauge-pulled metric time derivative
+
+Proves the workstream-A milestone for Point 4: for the **actual** DeTurck gauge
+family, the time derivative of the gauge-pulled metric is the gauge-corrected
+velocity,
+
+  `d/dt (Φₜ^* gₜ) = Φₜ^* (∂ₜ gₜ + Lie_{Xₜ} gₜ)`,
+
+in the repository's bundled tensor vocabulary.
+
+## Proof architecture
+
+The tensor statement follows from the scalar `PullbackMetricInnerDerivativeOn`
+via the existing bridge `hasTimeDerivativeOn_of_pullbackMetricInnerDerivativeData`.
+The scalar identity, for fixed `(t, x, u, v)` with
+`F(τ) = (g τ).inner ((Φ τ) x) ((Φ τ).pushforwardTangent x u)
+((Φ τ).pushforwardTangent x v)`, decomposes as:
+
+- **M1a** (metric velocity): the solution's `HasTimeDerivativeOn` of `g`
+  (`intrinsicDeTurckSolution_hasTimeDerivativeOn`) gives the time-derivative
+  at frozen spatial arguments.
+- **M1b** (base-point motion): the gauge ODE
+  (`SatisfiesGaugeFlowOn.hasMFDerivWithinAt`) plus metric compatibility
+  (`chosenLeviCivitaFamily_extDerivFun_inner_extend_eq`).
+- **M1c** (pushforward motion): the variational equation — the derivative of
+  the pushforward equals the Lie-bracket correction.  This is the single
+  remaining analytic core; see `deturckPushforward_hasDerivAt` below.
+- **M1d** (bilinear assembly): direct application of the existing bilinear
+  chain rule `hasDerivAt_bilinearForm_apply_apply`.
+- **M3** (tensor packaging): the existing bridge
+  `hasTimeDerivativeOn_of_pullbackMetricInnerDerivativeData`.

+/-- **M1c (variational equation).** Variational equation for the DeTurck
+gauge flow: in coordinates, the pushforward's time derivative is the
+Lie-bracket correction composed with the pushforward.
+
+Precisely, for the coordinate tangent map
+`A(τ) = pullbackMetricTangentCoordinateMap`, there is a continuous linear map
+`D` (the Lie-bracket term from `lieCorrection_of_tangentVectorOfCoordinate_Df_eq_mlieBracket`)
+with `HasDerivAt A (D.comp (A t)) t`.
+
+**Analytic input (`hvar`):** The DeTurck gauge field in coordinates admits a
+Picard–Lindelöf variational flow (`ModelGaugeFlowODE.VariationalLocalFlowSolution`)
+whose tangent map identifies with the coordinate pushforward.  This packages
+the C¹ regularity (with locally Lipschitz derivative) of the DeTurck field in
+coordinates, which is the analytic core needed for the variational equation.
+The merged C²/C³ regularity PRs (#28–#37) provide the underlying smoothness
+from which this variational solution is constructed (via
+`VariationalLocalFlowSolution.ofProductPicardLindelof` + ODE uniqueness
+identification with the actual gauge flow).
+
+Given the variational solution `α`, the proof applies
+`α.tangent_hasDerivWithinAt` (the variational equation
+`d/dt tangent = Df(t, flow) ∘ tangent`) and upgrades from `HasDerivWithinAt`
+to `HasDerivAt` at interior times.

+/-- Interior compact-readout correction route for a selected raw intrinsic
+DeTurck gauge-flow witness whose selected solution time set is a closed
+Picard interval.
+
+This variant is shaped for compact constructors: the source cover is supplied
+on the closed `Icc`, the selected readout only on the open interior `Ioo`, and
+the local Picard/gluing data remain indexed by the selected closed time set.
+The proof restricts the selected raw flow to the open interior before invoking
+the raw local Picard correction route. -/

+Concrete spatial-`C¹` packaging of the project's variational ODE flow
+(roadmap point 4, Item 2).
+
+The Banach-model flow in `ModelGaugeFlowODE` supplies, on a Picard cylinder, the two
+ingredients needed for the base case of the smooth-dependence bootstrap:
+
+* the per-point spatial Fréchet derivative of each fixed-time slice
+  `y ↦ flow (y, t)` (the `ofProduct_flow_timeSlice_hasFDerivAt_*` family), whose
+  derivative is the variational tangent map `tangent x t`;
+* joint continuity of the base-flow/tangent pair on the initial-data ball
+  (`ofProduct_flow_tangent_continuousOn_initialBall_time`).
+
+This module wires those through the abstract open-set packaging lemma
+`PoincareCurvature.VariationalSmoothness.contDiffOn_one_of_hasFDerivAt_continuousOn_isOpen`
+to obtain the concrete statement `ContDiffOn ℝ 1 (fun y => flow (y, t)) (ball x₀ r)` —
+the spatial-`C¹` base case that the `C¹ → C³` recursion lifts. -/

+/-! ### Prolongation chaining: the project's variational machinery runs one level up
+
+To climb from `C¹` to `C³` the tower must instantiate the project's variational
+Picard-Lindelöf construction at successively prolonged vector fields. The next two
+lemmas confirm this chaining typechecks: the *level-1* augmented field is literally
+`variationalVectorField F0 DF0` for the level-0 augmented field `F0` and its spatial
+derivative `DF0`, so the project's generic Lipschitz/norm packaging applies verbatim
+on the augmented model space `W = V × (V →L[ℝ] V)`. This reduces the level-2 Picard
+hypotheses to: `F0` Lipschitz/bounded (already supplied by the project at level 1) plus
+the single genuinely-new estimate — a Lipschitz/operator-norm bound on the prolongation
+derivative `DF0` (which needs `D²f` controlled, i.e. spatial `C^{2,1}` on the field). -/
+
+/-- **Level-1 augmented Lipschitz chaining.** The doubly-prolonged field
+`variationalVectorField F0 DF0` is `(max KF (KDF·BA + BDF))`-Lipschitz on the augmented

+/-! ### The keystone reduction: spatial `C³` collapses every prolongation estimate
+
+The level-2 Picard construction reduced (above) to one genuinely-new ingredient:
+Lipschitz/operator-norm control of the prolongation derivative, i.e. of `fderiv f` and
+`fderiv (fderiv f)`. The next lemma shows this ingredient is *free* once the gauge field
+is spatially `C³`: on any closed ball — convex and (in finite dimension) compact —
+`ContDiffOn.exists_lipschitzOnWith` turns `C^k` regularity into a Lipschitz constant.
+So a single hypothesis `ContDiff ℝ 3 f` supplies all three Lipschitz estimates the
+two-rung tower needs, with no separate second-derivative analysis. -/

+
+For a time-independent spatially-`C³` field `g`, the keystone Lipschitz package plus the

+`VariationalLocalFlowSolution`: the base flow `x ↦ Φ_t x` together with its tangent map

+level of the bootstrap: the level-1 augmented field `(g, fderiv g)` is `C²` when `g` is
+`C³`, so these same lemmas apply to it. -/

+/-! #### Uniqueness transfer: raw flow ↔ `ofProduct` flow
+
+The recursion's underlying flow is the raw `toStatePreserving hf0` flow (needed
+state-preserving for the `HasFDerivAt` extraction), but its smoothness is only available on a
+*reconstructible* `ofProduct` flow. The project's flow uniqueness identifies the two — both
+are continuous local flows of the same field, same anchor, same initial point, both staying
+in a Lipschitz state — so `ContDiffOn` transfers from the `ofProduct` flow to the raw flow.
+The Lipschitz-state hypothesis is discharged from the keystone by the next lemma. -/

+The keystone gives `g` and `fderiv g` Lipschitz; the project's
+`lipschitzOnWith_variationalVectorField_closedBall_at` assembles the variational field's
+Lipschitz constant (with the tangent-factor bound `BA = 1 + a` and `‖fderiv g‖ ≤ BD` from
+compactness). This discharges the uniqueness bridge's `hf_lip` hypothesis. -/

+`hf1`/`hball1` (as the up-level's level-0 data) and `hf2`/`hball2` (as the up-level's level-1

+/-! ### Prolongation level: the augmented flow is spatially `C¹` by instantiation
+
+The flow-derivative extraction `stateFlow_*_two` is generic in the model space, so it
+applies verbatim at the *augmented* space `V × (V →L[ℝ] V)`. The level-1 augmented field
+`(g, fderiv g)` is `C²` whenever `g` is `C³`, so the augmented (product) flow `Ψ0` that
+the bootstrap tower consumes is itself spatially `C¹` — with no new lemma, only an
+instantiation. This is the concrete confirmation that the tower's higher-level inputs are
+reachable. -/

+Gauge-flow assembly toward the compact-manifold C³ gauge-flow existence
+(roadmap point 4, Item 2).
+
+This module re-exposes the project's raw `C³` gauge-flow adapter
+`Diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn.nonempty_of_inverse_hasMFDerivWithinAt` in a clean form,
+isolating the exact data needed to inhabit `Diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn`:
+
+* mutually inverse, spatially-`C³` time-slice maps `F`, `G : ℝ → M → M`
+  (`G t` is the spatial inverse of the diffeomorphism `F t`, NOT a backward
+  time-flow — confirmed by the adapter's per-slice `LeftInverse`/`RightInverse`
+  hypotheses);
+* anchoring `F t₀ = id`;
+* the forward family `τ ↦ F τ x` solving the gauge ODE
+  (`HasMFDerivWithinAt … ((1).smulRight (X t (F t x)))`).
+
+The `hderiv` field is exactly the manifold time-derivative that the autonomization
+bridge in `ManifoldFlowExistence.lean`
+(`isTimeDependentIntegralCurve_of_autonomous`) produces from an integral curve of
+`(1, X)` on `ℝ × M`. The mutual-inverse data follows from the flow group law
+(`flow_inverse_package`). The single genuinely-remaining analytic obligation is the
+**spatial `C³` regularity of the flow map** `x ↦ F t x` (smooth dependence of the
+ODE flow on the initial condition, `hF`/`hG`) — the project's `ModelGaugeFlowODE.lean`
+already proves spatial `C¹` (Fréchet) differentiability, so this is a `C¹ → C³`
+bootstrap, not a from-scratch development.

+The compact-manifold time-dependent flow

+Extending both families by the identity outside the window closes that `∀ t`-gap: the extended

+and — since the extension agrees with `Φ` on the window — solve the *same* gauge ODE on

+a *sub-window*.**
+
+The sub-window relaxation of `exists_pos_diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn_of_compact_of_flowSlicesC3`.  The
+compact-manifold time-dependent flow (`ManifoldFlow.exists_timeDependent_flow_compact_inverse`)
+produces the anchored mutually-inverse slice maps `Φ`, `G` solving the gauge ODE on some window
+`Ioo (-ε) ε`; but every confinement-based slice-`C³` route anchors its model comparison flow at `0`
+and confines the orbit over the whole span `[0, t]`, so it only delivers `ContMDiff I I 3 (Φ t)` /
+`ContMDiff I I 3 (G t)` on a possibly *smaller* symmetric sub-window `Ioo (-δ) δ` (the uniform
+chart-exit time over the finite cover) rather than on the full inverse-supplier lifespan
+`Ioo (-ε) ε`.  This theorem accepts exactly that: `hslicesC3` is asked only to produce **some**
+`0 < δ ≤ ε` on whose window the slices are spatially `C³`.  Since the final gauge-flow datum is
+returned as `∃ ε > 0`, a symmetric sub-window suffices — the mutual-inverse / anchoring / ODE data
+restrict from `Ioo (-ε) ε` to `Ioo (-δ) δ` (the ODE via `HasMFDerivWithinAt.mono`), and
+`exists_diffeomorph3GaugeFlowOn_of_windowed_inverse_flow` is applied at the sub-window `δ`.  This
+removes the window obstruction that blocked the full-window `_of_compact_of_flowSlicesC3` from
+consuming the confinement routes' sub-window output. -/

+Manifold integral-curve existence scaffolding toward the compact-manifold
+gauge-flow construction (roadmap point 4, Item 2).
+
+This module assembles the mathlib integral-curve API into the exact shapes the
+gauge-flow construction consumes:
+
+* `exists_local_integralCurve_Ioo` — per-point local existence of an integral
+  curve on an open interval `Ioo (-ε) ε`, in the precise shape the globalization
+  lemma wants;
+* `exists_perpoint_integralCurve_time` — the per-point existence time on a
+  compact boundaryless manifold (each point gets its own `εₓ`);
+* `exists_global_integralCurve_of_uniform` — globalization: a *uniform* existence
+  time immediately yields a global integral curve through every point.
+
+The remaining gap to a *uniform* existence time (a single `ε` for all start
+points) is the manifold "flow box" — continuous dependence of integral curves on
+the initial point. Mathlib v4.29.1 provides this only at the Banach-space level
+(`PicardLindelof`), not lifted to the manifold `IsMIntegralCurveOn` API; supplying
+that neighborhood-uniform local existence lemma is the precise next increment.

+/-! ### Time-dependent integral curves via autonomization
+
+A *time-dependent* field `X : ℝ → (x : M) → TangentSpace I x` is integrated by
+autonomizing: on the product manifold `ℝ × M`, the *autonomous* field
+`(s, x) ↦ (1, X s x)` has integral curves whose first coordinate tracks the time
+parameter, so projecting to `M` yields a time-dependent integral curve. The product
+tangent space splits definitionally,
+`TangentSpace (𝓘(ℝ,ℝ).prod I) (s, x) = ℝ × TangentSpace I x`, so the two fiber
+components are handled independently. -/

+/-! ### Uniform time-dependent local flow on a compact manifold
+
+The DeTurck gauge field is *time-dependent*. Integrating it uniformly over all
+start points requires autonomizing to the product `ℝ × M`, which is *never*
+compact, so `exists_uniform_integralCurve_time` (whole space compact) does not
+apply. What *is* compact is the **initial-time slice** `{0} × M`; a uniform lifespan
+over that slice suffices, because every start point `x` enters the autonomization
+as `(0, x)`. This subsection supplies the compact-*slice* uniform-time reduction and
+assembles the compact-manifold time-dependent local flow existence the gauge-flow
+construction consumes. -/
+
+/-- **Uniform existence time over a compact subset from the flow box.** The
+neighborhood-uniform flow box yields, over any *compact subset* `S` of a (possibly
+noncompact) manifold, a single `ε > 0` working for every start point in `S`, by
+extracting a finite subcover of `S` and taking the minimum lifespan. This is the
+compact-*slice* refinement of `exists_uniform_time_of_nhds_uniform` (which needs the
+whole space compact); applied to the compact initial-time slice `{0} × M` of the
+noncompact autonomization space `ℝ × M`, it integrates a *time-dependent* field with
+a single uniform lifespan. -/

+/-! ### Backward reachability and bijectivity of the compact-manifold flow
+
+The forward flow `Φ` has injective time-slices (`timeDependent_flow_injective`), but
+surjectivity of `x ↦ Φ t x` on a compact manifold is *not* automatic from injectivity
+and continuity (invariance of domain would be needed); it requires a genuine backward
+flow — an integral curve of `X` run from time `t` *back* to time `0`. Such curves need
+the time-dependent existence *anchored at an arbitrary time* `t₀`, which the uniform
+lifespan over the compact **time-slab** `Icc (-r) r ×ˢ univ` supplies (a single `δ`
+covering every start time in `[-r, r]`). Reconciling that slab lifespan with the forward
+lifespan closes surjectivity, hence bijectivity, of every time-slice — the
+diffeomorphism-onto-image datum (its `G t` inverse half) Item 2's gauge flow consumes. -/
+
+/-- **Uniform time-dependent integral-curve existence anchored at any time in a slab.**
+For a jointly-`C¹` time-dependent field `X` on a compact boundaryless complete manifold
+and any `r > 0`, there is a single `δ > 0` such that *every* start time `t₀ ∈ [-r, r]`
+and *every* point `y` admit a time-dependent integral curve `γ` of `X` on the common
+window `Ioo (t₀ - δ) (t₀ + δ)` with `γ t₀ = y`. Proved by taking the uniform lifespan of
+the autonomization `(1, X)` over the compact time-slab `Icc (-r) r ×ˢ univ ⊆ ℝ × M`
+(via `exists_uniform_time_of_nhds_uniform_on_compact`) and time-shifting the autonomous
+curve anchored at `(t₀, y)` by `σ ↦ σ - t₀` (its first coordinate then tracks the
+parameter by `autonomous_fst_eq_add`, so it descends to a time-dependent curve). This is
+the anchored-anywhere existence the backward flow — and hence surjectivity — consumes. -/

+# Model-space ODE bridge for raw gauge-flow existence
+
+This module isolates the Banach-model Picard-Lindelöf component needed for
+positive-dimensional DeTurck gauge-flow existence.  It does not yet construct a
+global `C³` manifold diffeomorphism flow, but it records the hard local
+time-dependent ODE theorem in a point-4-friendly package that can be used after
+passing to charts.

+
+/-- A local model-space flow for a time-dependent vector field on a Banach model.
+
+The radius is measured in initial data, and the time interval is the closed
+Picard-Lindelöf interval.  This is the chart-level object that must eventually
+be glued and upgraded to the `C³` manifold diffeomorphism flow used by point 4.

+Smoothness building blocks for the variational/flow-regularity bootstrap toward
+smooth dependence of ODE flows on the initial condition (roadmap point 4, Item 2).
+
+The flow `Φ` of a `C^{n}` field `f` has spatial Jacobian `DΦ` solving the
+*variational equation*, whose vector field is `w(z) = (f z.1, (Df z.1).comp z.2)`
+on the augmented space `V × (V →L[ℝ] V)`. Since `Df = fderiv f` is `C^{n-1}`, the
+variational field is `C^{n-1}`; applying the first-order smooth-dependence result to
+it raises the flow's regularity by one. Iterating bootstraps `C¹ → C³`.
+
+These lemmas supply the smoothness facts that drive that recursion:
+
+* `contDiff_clm_comp` — the composition of two `C^n` operator-valued maps is `C^n`;
+* `contDiff_variationalField` — the variational field inherits `C^n` from `f` and `Df`;
+* `contDiff_fderiv_of_contDiff_succ` — the regularity drop `f ∈ C^{n+1} ⟹ fderiv f ∈ C^n`.

+/-! ### The smooth-dependence bootstrap engine
+
+These lemmas assemble into the recursion that proves the ODE flow map is spatially
+`C^k`. The structure: the base flow paired with its Jacobian is the flow of the
+augmented variational field on `V × (V →L V)`; if that augmented flow is `C^n`, its
+second-component projection (the Jacobian) is `C^n`, and a flow that is differentiable
+everywhere with a `C^n` Jacobian is `C^{n+1}`. Recursing from the `C¹` base case
+(the variational equation, supplied by the project's variational layer) bootstraps to
+any finite order. -/
+
+/-- **C¹ packaging.** A map that is Fréchet-differentiable everywhere with a
+*continuous* derivative is `C¹`. This is precisely the bridge from the project's

+statement the induction can consume. -/

+# Gauge transport primitives for Ricci flow
+
+This internal file starts the missing gauge-transport side of roadmap point 4.
+It defines pullback of tangent-bundle bilinear tensor fields along bundled `C^1`
+self-maps, upgrades this slicewise to time-dependent tensor families, and
+specializes the construction to the metric tensor of an evolving Riemannian
+metric family.
+
+These transport lemmas are still preparatory infrastructure only: they do not
+complete roadmap point 4 by themselves, but they supply the first proof-bearing
+objects needed for a later Ricci-DeTurck-to-Ricci-flow gauge reduction.

+# Curvature variation from connection variation
+
+The time-dependent geometry API is intentionally slicewise: it does not silently identify a
+time derivative with a derivative of the spatial connection coefficients.  This file isolates
+the precise connection-variation rule needed to differentiate curvature.  Given that rule for
+the connection acting on time-dependent sections, the time derivative of the actual curvature
+tensor follows directly from its commutator definition.
+
+The metric-to-Levi-Civita-connection variation is a separate geometric step; it is not assumed
+or claimed here.

+# Deriving the moving connection rule from mixed Koszul data
+
+The curvature commutator applies the time-dependent connection to a section
+which itself varies with time.  This file combines the mixed-regularity
+derivative of the actual Koszul expression with the fixed-field cyclic
+variation formula.  The result derives that moving-section connection
+derivative; it does not assume a connection-variation predicate or a
+curvature-evolution equation.
+
+The bracket derivatives and mixed scalar regularity are stated explicitly
+here.  A later specialization can discharge them from joint spacetime
+regularity of the metric and moving section.

+# Geometric Hamilton--Ivey curvature evolution
+
+This module is the first non-conditional bridge from a Ricci-flow metric
+variation to the curvature-operator equation used by the Hamilton--Ivey
+argument.  The finite-dimensional contraction is kept as a named theorem so
+that the signs and numerical coefficients are independently auditable.
+
+The mixed space--time regularity needed to construct a connection variation
+is not implied by the slicewise Ricci-flow predicate.  The geometric
+interface below therefore asks for that regularity explicitly, while the
+curvature evolution itself is derived from the connection variation and the
+curvature contractions.

+# Intrinsic Ricci-flow connection variation from joint metric regularity
+
+The slicewise `IsRicciFlowOn` predicate supplies the actual metric velocity, but
+it does not by itself commute a time derivative with a spatial derivative.  The
+generic Koszul variation API therefore exposes those commutations explicitly.
+This file specializes that API to Ricci flow and proves the specialization
+without retaining three opaque `HasDerivAt` premises: joint spacetime
+regularity of the actual metric pairings supplies them through the mixed
+derivative theorem, and the velocity is identified with the genuine intrinsic
+Ricci tensor by the Ricci-flow equation.
+
+The result is deliberately a fixed-field theorem.  The stronger moving-section
+rule needed to differentiate the nested curvature commutator is a separate
+layer; this file closes the scalar-to-vector Levi--Civita variation step that
+feeds that layer.

+
+The conclusion is the genuine derivative of the chosen Levi--Civita family on
+fixed smooth fields.  The three time/space commutations are derived from the
+joint spacetime metric pairings and the spatial regularity of the corresponding
+intrinsic Ricci pairings.  No connection-variation tensor and no curvature
+evolution equation is assumed here.

+/-! The preceding fixed-field bridge can be used directly at the older
+intrinsic-variation interface.  This wrapper removes the three raw mixed
+`HasDerivAt` premises from that interface: they are obtained from the actual
+joint metric pairings and the spatial regularity of the intrinsic Ricci
+pairings.  The connection-variation hypothesis remains explicit because the
+moving-section curvature commutator needs the stronger time-dependent rule. -/

+/-! The elementary fields of the three-dimensional Ricci-trace contraction
+package are filled from the actual slice curvature and Ricci Hessian.  The
+Hessian commutator and the trace of the differentiated curvature commutator
+are derived from actual-Ricci regularity and the moving connection variation.
+The constructor chooses the genuine Ricci-complement eigenbasis for its
+contractions, and derives the algebraic reaction components there. -/

+# A higher-regularity bridge for Hamilton--Ivey slice traces
+
+The intrinsic trace calculation asks for differentiability of several actual
+Ricci-derived fields.  This file records a reusable bridge from `C²`
+regularity of the genuine Ricci two-tensor, together with the slice metric and
+connection regularity, to that derived record.  The remaining geometric step
+is to derive this `C²` regularity of Ricci from higher regularity of the
+Levi-Civita connection.

+# Intrinsic static fields for the Hamilton--Ivey trace calculation
+
+This file starts removing the coordinate/contraction certificate from the
+geometric evolution interface.  The fields below are the actual curvature,
+Ricci, scalar-curvature, and covariant-Hessian fields of a time slice.  The
+three-dimensional curvature decomposition, Ricci symmetry, scalar trace, and
+last-slot Hessian symmetry are proved from the Levi--Civita connection itself.
+
+The remaining differential contractions are intentionally not hidden here:
+they require the corresponding spatial regularity and Bianchi/commutator
+bridges, which are the next layer of the intrinsic evolution proof.

+/-! Pair the actual Ricci connection variation with the metric and
+differentiate its cyclic-Ricci formula.  This derives the component formula
+for the genuine curvature velocity; the only additional inputs are
+differentiability of the actual connection-variation field and the

+# Intrinsic time variation for the Hamilton--Ivey support
+
+The parabolic Hamilton--Ivey layer is phrased using an arbitrary smooth
+Levi--Civita representative `cov`, because that is the connection family used
+by the curvature spectrum.  The metric-variation layer, on the other hand,
+packages the Ricci time derivative intrinsically as a bilinear tensor.  This
+file is the transport bridge between the two APIs: it derives the scalar and
+contact Ricci derivatives for the chosen representative from one genuine
+intrinsic Ricci derivative.
+
+No coordinate matrix or symmetrized readout is introduced here.  The only
+auxiliary object is the canonical smooth Levi--Civita family used by the
+intrinsic API, and all occurrences of it are eliminated by the proved
+Levi--Civita invariance lemmas.

+# Mixed time--space regularity for Lie brackets
+
+This file proves the Euclidean, vector-valued mixed derivative bridge needed for the
+Hamilton--Ivey moving-section Koszul formula.  The scalar theorem
+`PoincareCurvature.hasDerivAt_fderiv_space_of_joint_contDiffAt` is the underlying local mixed
+partial result; the vector-valued version below follows the same chart-level argument, using
+symmetry of the second Fréchet derivative.
+
+The manifold chart transport from a jointly `C²` totalized tangent section to these Euclidean
+lemmas is intentionally kept separate, so that no derivative of a manifold Lie bracket is
+postulated here.

+The input regularity is the actual bilinear-form section `(t, x) ↦ (g t).inner x`
+over spacetime.  This is stronger than slicewise `C²` regularity of `g` and is not
+inferred from the slicewise Ricci-flow predicate.  The conclusion follows by applying

+# Mixed time--space regularity for intrinsic derivatives
+
+The slicewise Ricci-flow API differentiates metric components in time at fixed spatial points.
+This file supplies the missing local bridge when the actual scalar field on spacetime is `C²`.
+The proof goes through an extended manifold chart, uses equality of mixed Euclidean derivatives,
+and transfers the result back to `mvfderiv`; it does not postulate a connection derivative.

+# Parabolic Hamilton--Ivey invariant region for geometric curvature
+
+This file joins three previously separate ingredients:
+
+* the actual ordered curvature spectrum of a three-dimensional Riemannian
+  metric;
+* the Hamilton--Ivey pointwise reaction coercivity calculation; and
+* the intrinsic compact-manifold scalar parabolic maximum principle.
+
+The resulting theorem is stated directly for the eigenvalues of the genuine
+curvature endomorphism.  Its remaining analytic input is the parabolic
+inequality for the Hamilton--Ivey defect; this is the precise output required
+from curvature evolution and the tensor/eigenvalue support argument.

+/-! ### The support-form Hamilton--Ivey maximum principle
+
+The ordered eigenvalue fields need not be differentiable when eigenvalues
+cross.  The next theorem therefore uses the exact Rayleigh-supported defect
+at each hypothetical bad contact.  Its contact certificate records the three
+geometric ingredients that the support construction must provide (upper
+support, negativity, and the scalar-minus-support sign), together with the
+actual supported-defect time derivative, spatial regularity, and parabolic
+inequality.  No derivative or Laplacian of the nonsmooth ordered defect is
+assumed globally.
+-/
+
+/-- Hamilton--Ivey pinching from the exact spacetime Rayleigh support.  This is
+the invariant-region theorem in the form needed for a tensor maximum principle;
+the remaining evolution task is to derive the contact certificate from the

+# Scalar-curvature lower barrier for Hamilton--Ivey
+
+This file specializes the compact parabolic Riccati maximum principle to the
+actual scalar curvature of a three-dimensional metric family.  Assuming the
+genuine scalar evolution equation
+
+`partial_t R = Delta R + 2 |Ric|^2`,
+
+the intrinsic estimate `R^2 <= 3 |Ric|^2` supplies the required reaction
+inequality and yields the sharp compact lower barrier
+
+`R(t) >= -3 K / (1 + 2 K t)`.
+
+Thus the maximum-principle layer no longer assumes a scalar supersolution as
+an unrelated function; the remaining input is precisely the geometric scalar
+evolution identity which the curvature-variation layer must prove.

+# Spacetime support for the least curvature eigenvalue
+
+At a spacetime contact point, choose the genuine unit least eigenvector and
+extend it smoothly in space while keeping that extension fixed in time.  Its
+Rayleigh quotient is a spacetime upper support for the least curvature
+eigenvalue wherever the evolving metric keeps the extension nonzero.
+
+Joint continuity of the evolving metric square is an explicit analytic
+premise; the spectral support and the contact equality are proved here.

+# Time variation of the least-curvature support
+
+The contact vector field used in the Hamilton--Ivey support construction is
+fixed in time.  Consequently, along an actual Ricci flow its metric square
+has the exact derivative `-2 Ric(V,V)`.  This file also rewrites the Rayleigh
+support itself as `R - 2 Ric(V,V) / |V|^2`, directly from the genuine
+Ricci-complement curvature endomorphism.

+# Spatial Laplacian of the Hamilton--Ivey support
+
+At a contact point the Rayleigh support is a quotient `a / d`, where `a` is
+the curvature quadratic form and `d` is the evolving metric square of the
+contact vector field.  On the open set where `d ≠ 0`, the identity
+
+`support * d = a`
+
+is exact.  Since `d = 1` and `dd = 0` at the contact point, the scalar
+Laplacian product rule gives
+
+`Δ support = Δa - ν Δd`.
+
+This file proves that cancellation without assuming it as a PDE premise.
+The remaining bridge is to identify the right-hand side with the connection
+Laplacian of the curvature tensor on the contact eigenvector.

+# A fixed Levi-Civita background for initial-value data
+
+For a compact manifold and a `C²` initial metric, the static Levi-Civita
+construction supplies a `C¹` covariant derivative.  This module records that
+construction in a form that can be used directly as a fixed Ricci--DeTurck
+background: its constant connection family has the slice regularity required
+by the DeTurck vector-field regularity lemmas.
+
+The result is deliberately only `C¹` for the connection.  A `C²` metric does
+not justify asserting higher connection regularity here.

+# Torsion-free fixed backgrounds for Ricci--DeTurck flow
+
+The fixed background attached to initial-value data is Levi-Civita for the
+initial metric.  This small bridge exposes the torsion-free part of that fact
+both for the underlying connection and for its constant time-dependent
+connection family.  The latter is the form used by the background-covariant
+Ricci--DeTurck decomposition.

+# Ricci-flow local existence and uniqueness boundary
+
+This file packages the theorem-level interface for roadmap point 4 on top of the
+time-dependent geometry layer from `TimeDependent.lean`.
+
+We define:
+
+- metric-valued time derivatives for evolving Riemannian metrics
+- Ricci-flow solutions and initial-value problems
+- local solutions on compact manifolds
+- a bundled local existence/uniqueness theorem package
+
+The analytic proof of local existence is not developed internally here. Instead,
+this file records the precise solution and theorem boundary that later Ricci-flow
+developments should target.
+
+Under the repository's proof-only standard, this file is preparatory
+infrastructure only: it does **not** count as completing roadmap point 4 until
+local existence and uniqueness are actually proved in Lean with no proof holes
+or placeholder constants.

+# Metric rescaling infrastructure for Ricci flow (toward Einstein homothetic solutions)
+
+For an Einstein initial metric `g₀` with `Ric(g₀) = λ • g₀`, the homothetic family
+`g(t) = (1 - 2λ (t - t₀)) • g₀` solves Ricci flow `∂ₜ g = -2 Ric(g)`.  Realizing this
+as a Lean `IntrinsicLocalSolution` requires a positive scalar multiple of a smooth
+Riemannian metric and scale-invariance of the intrinsic Ricci tensor.
+
+This module proves the genuine, placeholder-free, reusable infrastructure:
+
+* `RicciFlow.smulMetric` — the positive scalar multiple `c • g` of a smooth
+  Riemannian metric, with all bundle/metric fields (`symm`, `pos`, `isVonNBounded`,
+  `contMDiff`) discharged;
+* `RicciFlow.smulMetric_inner_apply` — its fibrewise inner product `= c * g.inner`.
+
+The companion `EinsteinAux.lean` proves scalar-linearity of the scalar exterior
+derivative (`extDerivFun_const_smul_apply`), the remaining calculus input.
+
+Note: assembling these into the full homothetic local-existence theorem additionally
+needs scale-invariance of metric compatibility, whose proof in this repository's
+`inner ℝ`-based `IsMetricCompatibleTangent` definition currently triggers a Lean
+kernel-defeq blowup (converting `inner ℝ` to the metric field under the `mvfderiv`
+binder in the heavy tangent-bundle instance context).  That step is left as future
+work.  Nothing here uses proof placeholders or unchecked assumptions; this
+strictly enlarges the proven metric-rescaling toolkit and does not by itself
+close point 4 (which requires the Hamilton–DeTurck parabolic theorem for
+arbitrary initial metrics).

+# `IsEmpty M` family conversions for chosen-DeTurck and arbitrary-DeTurck packages
+
+This thin extension module fills a small gap in `DeTurck.lean`. The
+`_of_subsingleton_tangent` theorem-family conversions
+(`Family.toIntrinsicDeTurck_of_subsingleton_tangent` etc.) cover the case where
+every tangent fiber is a subsingleton, but they require that hypothesis as a
+typeclass instance. For empty manifolds (`[IsEmpty M]`) the corresponding
+hypothesis holds vacuously but is not registered as an instance, so the
+existing conversions are not directly applicable.
+
+This module supplies the explicit `_of_isEmpty` analogs by introducing the
+needed `letI` locally and dispatching to the subsingleton-tangent version.
+The mathematical content is unchanged; this is purely an API completion.

+# Rank-one and model-space subsingleton chosen-background Ricci-DeTurck local existence/uniqueness
+
+This thin extension module keeps the rank-one and model-space subsingleton chosen-background
+Ricci-DeTurck consequences out of the core DeTurck file. The mathematical input is
+`intrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness_of_finrank_le_one` from `LocalExistence.lean` together with
+the existing conversion `IntrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness.toChosenIntrinsicDeTurck`. This
+mirrors the patterns already in `DeTurck.lean` for the subsingleton-tangent and empty-manifold
+cases (`chosenIntrinsicDeTurckLocalExistenceUniqueness_of_subsingleton_tangent` and
+`_of_isEmpty`).
+
+The arbitrary-background `IntrinsicDeTurckLocalExistenceUniqueness` package is **not** provided
+in the rank-one case, because in finrank one the background connection on `TM` is not forced to
+equal the chosen Levi-Civita connection of the evolving metric. The subsingleton-tangent case is
+genuinely special — its arbitrary-background package follows from connection-uniqueness on
+zero-dimensional fibers — and that lemma does not generalize to rank-one.
+
+The model-space subsingleton variants (`[Subsingleton E]`) propagate via the registered instance
+`instSubsingletonTangentSpaceOfSubsingletonModel` from `LocalExistence.lean`, so they are
+straightforward synonyms of the existing `_of_subsingleton_tangent` constructors.

+# Ricci-vanishing local-existence–uniqueness closure
+
+This thin extension module abstracts the rank-one closure
+`intrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness_of_finrank_le_one` from `LocalExistence.lean` into a
+dimension-free **Ricci-vanishing closure skeleton**.
+
+The rank-one closure works because on tangent fibers of real dimension at most one the intrinsic
+Ricci tensor of *every* metric vanishes identically, which simultaneously supplies the stationary
+existence witness and — through `intrinsicLocalSolution_unique_metric_of_ricciTensor_zero` — the
+metric-uniqueness half of the point-4 package.  The mechanism only ever uses the Ricci-vanishing
+*fact*, never the dimension hypothesis, so it factors through a single reusable constructor:
+
+* `intrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness_of_forall_intrinsicRicciTensor_eq_zero` takes an existence
+  witness together with the hypothesis that every intrinsic local solution has identically
+  vanishing intrinsic Ricci tensor on its interval, and returns the full
+  `IntrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness` package.
+
+Two instances are recorded:
+
+* the **positive-dimensional Ricci-flat** instance keeps existence unconditional
+  (`intrinsicLocalSolution_nonempty_of_isRicciFlat`) and isolates the single residual geometric
+  input — that Ricci-flow solutions preserve Ricci-flatness — as the explicit Ricci-vanishing
+  hypothesis;
+* the **rank-one** instance recovers the known closure through the skeleton, discharging the
+  Ricci-vanishing hypothesis for free from `intrinsicRicciTensor_eq_zero_of_finrank_le_one` and
+  hence composing, unconditionally, to a genuine point-4 existence–uniqueness witness.

+# Ricci-flat closure in the DeTurck / gauge-reduced point-4 vocabulary
+
+This thin extension module projects the positive-dimensional Ricci-flat closure of
+`RicciFlatClosure.lean` into the Levi-Civita-background and gauge-reduced Ricci-DeTurck theorem
+packages — the forms in which roadmap point 4 is stated — exactly mirroring
+`RankOneGaugeReduced.lean` for the rank-one case.
+
+For Ricci-flat initial data existence is unconditional (the stationary Ricci-flat solution), so the
+entire remaining content of each package is the Ricci-vanishing hypothesis `hRic`, i.e. that every
+intrinsic local solution stays Ricci-flat on its interval (the single residual geometric input,
+Ricci-flatness preservation).  These conversions dispatch through
+`IntrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness.toLeviCivitaBackgroundIntrinsicDeTurck` and
+`IntrinsicLocalExistenceUniqueness.toGaugeReduced_viaIdentityGauge`.

+# Time variation of the inverse metric
+
+This file connects the finite inverse-matrix derivative to the actual metric
+tensor of a time-dependent Riemannian metric.  In a genuine tangent-bundle
+local frame it proves
+
+`\partial_t g^{-1} = -g^{-1} (\partial_t g) g^{-1}`,
+
+and, for an intrinsic Ricci flow, the geometric specialization
+
+`\partial_t g^{ij} = 2 Ric^{ij}`.
+
+The inverse regularity and nonsingularity are derived from the metric
+components and positive definiteness; neither is assumed independently.

+# Ricci--DeTurck gauge-reduction capstone
+
+The frozen affine evolution is useful analytic infrastructure, but it is not
+the geometric result that motivates the Ricci-flow formalization.  This module
+exposes the research-facing gauge-reduction theorem: once a gauge-reduced
+Ricci--DeTurck solution has the anchored `C^3` pullback and its verified
+time-derivative data, the transformed metric is an intrinsic Ricci flow with
+the same initial metric.  Its velocity is simultaneously the intrinsic
+`-2 Ric` tensor and the trace of the conjugated pulled-back background Ricci
+endomorphism.
+
+The last equality is the coordinate-free curvature transport statement behind
+the DeTurck trick, rather than a routine autonomous ODE consequence.

+# Compact scalar parabolic Riccati barrier
+
+This file proves the spacetime maximum-principle step used in the scalar
+curvature lower bound.  On a compact boundaryless manifold, an intrinsic
+supersolution
+
+`partial_t f >= Delta f + (2 / n) f^2`
+
+with initial lower bound `f(0) >= -n C` satisfies the sharp barrier
+
+`f(t) >= -n C / (1 + 2 C t)`.
+
+The proof minimizes the rescaled quantity
+`(1 + 2 C t) f + n C` on a compact spacetime slab.  At a hypothetical
+negative minimum, the intrinsic Laplace--Beltrami operator is nonnegative
+and the backward time derivative is nonpositive, while the reaction term
+forces that derivative to be strictly positive.

+/-! ### Upper-support maximum principle
+
+The ordered least curvature eigenvalue is not, in general, differentiable when
+eigenvalues cross.  The tensor maximum principle therefore works with a
+smooth upper support selected at a hypothetical bad contact.  The following
+variant isolates exactly that mechanism: the quantity being protected only
+needs spacetime continuity, while each negative contact supplies its own
+spatially twice differentiable upper support and a genuine time derivative.
+The support PDE is an explicit input, so this theorem does not silently
+replace the curvature-evolution step by differentiability of a nonsmooth
+eigenvalue field.
+-/
+
+/-- Compact-manifold invariant-region principle with a smooth upper support at
+every hypothetical negative contact.  This is the maximum-principle interface
+used by tensor/eigenvalue arguments: no global time derivative of `f` is
+required. -/

+# Pre-cancellation background assembly for the standard Ricci--DeTurck operator
+
+This file combines the two exact background expansions that precede the
+principal-part cancellation.  It does **not** assert parabolicity or hide a
+remainder in a new definition.  The curvature contribution is the explicit
+orthonormal-frame Ricci connection-change sum, and the gauge contribution is
+the background derivative of the standard DeTurck vector plus the explicit
+Levi-Civita correction.
+
+The convention for `explicitLeviCivitaCorrection x z X` is inherited from
+`CovariantDerivative.difference`: `z` is the differentiated vector and `X`
+is the connection direction.  The derivative arguments of
+`covariantDerivativeOneForm` are `(derivative direction, differentiated
+vector, one-form direction)`.

+file derives its fixed-time continuity as a bilinear-form-bundle section from
+the actual `C¹` regularity of the background connection.  It does not assert a

+# Torsion-free local expansion of the differentiated standard DeTurck field
+
+This file substitutes the torsion-free Koszul formula for the explicit
+Levi-Civita correction into the local derivative formula for the standard
+DeTurck field.  The result retains both the derivative of the correction
+component and the inverse-Gram derivative term.  It makes no derivative
+commutation, cancellation, principal-symbol, or reaction-term assertion.

+
+At a point in the local frame domain, the correction component in each of the

+# Continuity criteria for vector-bundle sections
+
+This file adds repo-local `C^0` analogues of mathlib's local-frame smoothness
+criteria for sections of finite-rank vector bundles.
+
+The main point is that on an open trivializing set, continuity of a section is
+equivalent to continuity of its local-frame coefficient functions. This is the
+first bridge from continuous bundle sections to compact-space `ContinuousMap`
+techniques, which are needed for later function-space work toward point 4.

+whose induced fibre topology (Path A) is then baked into the `ContinuousSectionSpace` type of those
+lemmas.  Neither lemma actually uses the fibre norm — the seminormed structure is present only to
+*supply the fibre topology* the section space needs.  For a fibre that carries a *different-spelled*
+(yet defeq) topology — e.g. the `ContinuousLinearMap.topologicalSpace` (Path B) on a
+`BilinearFormBundle` fibre `V x = W x →L[𝕜] W x →L[𝕜] ℝ`, which is what `FiberBundle`/`VectorBundle`
+and the concrete coordinate readout lemmas use — the Path-A-baked statements do not unify at
+application time (the section-space Picard bridge then cannot consume Path-B coordinate bounds).
+
+The two lemmas below are the identical facts stated with the fibre topology taken as an *explicit*
+`[∀ x, TopologicalSpace (V x)]` instance binder (plus the bare `AddCommGroup`/`Module` structure the
+vector-bundle already provides), so the section-space topology is synthesised in the caller's context
+rather than derived from a seminormed structure.  This lets the section-space Picard bridge apply to
+the concrete `BilinearFormBundle` continuous section space (Path B) verbatim.  The proofs are copied
+from the seminormed originals unchanged — every step is Banach-`F`-norm level and never touches a
+fibre norm.

+# The connection Laplacian on covariant two-tensors
+
+This file defines the geometric operator required by the tensor heat equation.
+For a covariant two-tensor `h`, the first covariant derivative is
+
+`(∇_X h)(Y,Z) = X(h(Y,Z)) - h(∇_XY,Z) - h(Y,∇_XZ)`.
+
+The covariant Hessian differentiates this `(0,3)`-tensor in all three tensor
+slots.  The connection Laplacian is its trace in the first two slots against
+an orthonormal basis of the tangent fibre.  The sign convention therefore
+agrees with the positive-coordinate expression `∑_i ∂_i²` used by the
+Euclidean heat kernel in `TensorHeatEuclidean`.
+
+The primary operator is constructed by applying the induced hom-bundle
+connection three times and tracing the genuine covariant Hessian.  The
+expanded along-fields formulas later in the file are retained as useful
+evaluation lemmas, not as the definition of the operator.

+# Leibniz and cutoff-commutator identities for the connection Laplacian
+
+This file proves the geometric product calculation used by a localized
+parametrix for the tensor heat equation.  If `g` is a scalar cutoff and `h` a
+covariant two-tensor, the first induced connection satisfies the genuine
+Leibniz rule
+
+`∇(g h) = g ∇h + dg ⊗ h`.
+
+Differentiating once more and tracing gives
+
+`Δ(g h) = g Δh + [Δ, g]h`,
+
+where the commutator is defined below as the trace of the two explicitly
+lower-order terms `dg ⊗ ∇h` and `∇(dg ⊗ h)`.  Thus the identity does not hide
+the localization error in a hypothesis or in an abstract operator.

+# Linearity of the connection Laplacian on its genuine second-order domain
+
+The raw `CovariantDerivative` API is linear only at points where the section
+being differentiated is differentiable. Consequently the connection
+Laplacian is not definitionally a linear map on all set-theoretic sections.
+This file records the precise geometric domain on which it is linear: a
+covariant two-tensor and its first covariant derivative must both be
+manifold-differentiable.
+
+This is the operator-theoretic bridge needed before constructing the tensor
+heat semigroup. No linearity or differential identity is hidden in a
+hypothesis: the pointwise additivity and homogeneity below are derived twice
+from the covariant-derivative laws and then passed through the intrinsic metric
+trace defining `connectionLaplacian`.

+# Local-frame formula for the connection Laplacian
+
+The intrinsic definition of `connectionLaplacian` contracts the covariant
+Hessian with the canonical inverse-metric tensor.  This file proves that in
+an arbitrary (not necessarily orthonormal) local tangent frame the same
+contraction is the familiar double sum against the inverse Gram matrix.
+
+Unlike a coordinate-model hypothesis, the coefficients in the final theorem
+are the inverse of the actual Riemannian Gram matrix of the local frame.

+# Freezing a metric trace in a local frame
+
+This file isolates the algebra used when a quasilinear metric trace is frozen
+at a fixed background metric.  The result is expressed in a genuine local
+tangent frame: the difference between the two traces is exactly the
+difference of their inverse Gram matrices contracted with the same covariant
+Hessian.  Thus the principal second-order operator can be frozen without
+hiding any second derivatives in the resulting coefficient difference.

+# Contracted second Bianchi identity
+
+This file packages the covariant derivative of the curvature tensor at a point and contracts the
+second Bianchi identity twice.  The derivative is written using the same corrected raw
+commutator as `Bianchi.lean`; the correction terms are the covariant derivatives of all three
+curvature arguments, so this is not an assumption of the contracted identity.
+
+This file currently proves the cyclic identity for that corrected derivative.  The contraction
+and the identification of the resulting traces with geometric Ricci and Einstein divergence
+require additional results; they are not established in this file.

+# Contraction of the actual connection curvature derivative
+
+This bridge uses the corrected curvature derivative of a connection. The cyclic second Bianchi
+equation follows from torsion-freeness. The proof derives both derivative skew symmetries and
+pair interchange from the connection and its metric compatibility. It then performs the double
+contraction. Identifying the resulting sums separately with differentials of the Ricci/scalar
+fields, or with the divergence of an Einstein tensor field, is outside this file's scope.

+# Curvature of an induced hom-bundle connection
+
+This file records the curvature product rule for an induced connection on a
+hom bundle.  The statement is deliberately pointwise and keeps the
+differentiability hypotheses explicit: it is the static geometric bridge
+used later when a time-dependent curvature calculation is reduced to
+covariant derivatives of tensor fields.

+# The metric-raised Ricci endomorphism
+
+This file packages the Ricci tensor as a genuine tangent-bundle endomorphism by
+raising its second covariant index with the Riemannian metric. Its trace is
+proved to be the scalar curvature already defined from the curvature tensor.
+For a torsion-free metric-compatible connection, the endomorphism is symmetric,
+so it is the appropriate intrinsic input to finite-dimensional spectral
+arguments.

+/-! ## Differentiating the Ricci trace

+The tangent bundle carries both its model-space norm and the norm induced by
+the Riemannian metric.  They induce the same finite-dimensional topology but
+are not definitionally equal in Lean.  The next two definitions keep the
+model-space choice internal, so the mathematical statement does not expose an
+implementation-dependent norm instance. -/

+# Tensorial curvature
+
+This file packages the raw curvature commutator into a fibrewise multilinear map
+by evaluating it on canonical smooth extensions of fibre vectors.
+
+The smooth extensions are built from `extend` sections multiplied by a fixed
+smooth bump function chosen inside the base set of `trivializationAt`. This
+keeps the construction linear in the fibre input while ensuring the sections are
+globally smooth enough for repeated covariant differentiation.

+# The three-dimensional curvature decomposition
+
+This file proves the algebraic identity which writes a Riemann curvature
+four-tensor in dimension three in terms of its Ricci contraction and scalar
+curvature.  The geometric wrapper below uses the actual curvature commutator
+and the actual Ricci trace; no curvature component is introduced by
+definition.

+# Three-dimensional Ricci norm and curvature-reaction algebra
+
+For a metric-compatible torsion-free connection in tangent dimension three,
+the Ricci tensor is diagonal in the eigenbasis of the genuine
+Ricci-complement curvature operator.  Parseval's identity and trace
+invariance then give the exact identity
+
+`2 |Ric|² = λ² + μ² + ν² + λ μ + λ ν + μ ν`.
+
+This is the algebraic bridge that turns the intrinsic scalar-curvature
+variation into the scalar reaction used by Hamilton--Ivey.  No coordinate
+presentation or symmetrized readout is used.

+# Fiber-norm-free tangent-bundle frame covariant-derivative regularity
+
+The frame–covariant-derivative regularity chain in `Existence.lean` (culminating in the level
+downgrade `CovariantDerivative.contMDiffCovariantDerivativeOn_zero_of_contMDiffCovariantDerivative_one`)
+is stated in that file's variable context, which carries the auto-included — but genuinely *unused*
+(the compiler reports them) — fiber-norm hypotheses `[∀ x, NormedAddCommGroup (V x)]` /
+`[∀ x, NormedSpace ℝ (V x)]`.
+
+To apply that chain to the geometric Ricci–DeTurck operator we need it at the **tangent bundle**
+`V = TangentSpace I`.  There the *pointwise* `NormedAddCommGroup (TangentSpace I x)` is resolvable by
+the bundle machinery through the synonym `TangentSpace I x = E`, but the *Π-instance*
+`∀ x, NormedAddCommGroup (TangentSpace I x)` (which the `Existence` versions require, because their
+building block `Bundle.Trivialization.frameCovariantDerivative` carries it in its signature) is **not**
+synthesizable from the synonym.  Supplying it by hand (`RiemannianBundle`/`letI`) then yields a
+defeq-but-not-syntactic diamond against the synonym norm used by the hom-bundle machinery.
+
+This module re-establishes the frame covariant-derivative regularity **directly at the tangent
+bundle**, with *no* Π fiber-norm hypothesis: it introduces a fiber-norm-free tangent-bundle copy
+`frameCovariantDerivativeTangent` of `Bundle.Trivialization.frameCovariantDerivative`, and transcribes
+the `smulRight`-product and frame regularity lemmas (specialized to `F = E`, `V = TangentSpace I`).
+Every fiber-norm the proofs need is *pointwise* and resolves through the synonym uniformly, so no
+diamond arises.  These are the fiber-norm-free building blocks the geometric-operator regularity (the
+covariant derivative of a `C¹` vector field is a continuous `Hom(TM, TM)`-section) is assembled from.

+# Trace and induced endomorphism connections
+
+This file proves the local-frame trace formula needed to show that fibrewise
+trace commutes with the connection induced on the endomorphism bundle.  That
+compatibility is the abstract mechanism behind both curvature-to-Ricci and
+Ricci-to-scalar differentiation.

+# First-order parallel extensions
+
+This module constructs a genuine local first jet for a vector-bundle section.
+Centered manifold coordinates provide scalar coordinate functions with a
+prescribed differential.  Multiplying those functions by smooth bundle
+extensions realizes an arbitrary covariant derivative at the center.
+
+Subtracting the first jet of an initial smooth extension therefore produces a
+section with any prescribed value and vanishing covariant derivative at the
+center.  This is the intrinsic contact-vector extension needed in tensor
+maximum-principle arguments.

+# Hessian commutators and the Ricci--DeTurck second-order core
+
+This module isolates the pointwise tensor calculation used by the
+Ricci--DeTurck principal-part cancellation.  It does not introduce a
+remainder term or assert a nonlinear parabolic equation.
+
+The first result is the standard first-slot Hessian commutator for an
+arbitrary covariant two-tensor.  The second result is the cleared-denominator
+algebraic cancellation which combines the two Ricci connection-change
+derivative slots with the two derivatives of the DeTurck trace.

+# Evaluation of induced hom-bundle connections

+The induced connection on `Hom(V₁,V₂)` satisfies the genuine product rule
+
+`(∇φ)(X)(σ) = ∇⁲_X (φσ) - φ(∇¹_X σ)`
+
+for arbitrary differentiable sections.  The primitive induced-connection

+# Covariant derivatives on trivial and hom bundles
+
+This file constructs the two induced connections needed for covariant tensor
+calculus without assuming an external tensor-connection API.
+
+* `trivialCovariantDerivative` is ordinary differentiation on a trivial real
+  vector bundle.
+* `inducedHomCovariantDerivative` is the connection on `Hom(V₁,V₂)` induced by
+  connections on `V₁` and `V₂`.
+
+The definition of a Mathlib `CovariantDerivative` must return a continuous
+linear map even for a completely arbitrary (possibly nondifferentiable)
+section.  Accordingly the hom connection uses its geometric formula when the
+hom section is differentiable at the point and returns zero otherwise.  The
+covariant-derivative laws only constrain differentiable sections, and the
+exported computation theorem removes this implementation branch there.

+# Regularity of induced hom-bundle connections
+
+This file proves the regularity fact used by the intrinsic Hamilton--Ivey
+operator: a C1 connection on each input bundle induces a C1 connection
+on the hom bundle.  The proof is local and uses the actual induced-connection
+product rule on local frames.
+
+The real-line base case is proved from the manifold derivative-section theorem
+and is used to build the regularity of the induced cotangent connection.

+# Levi-Civita connections
+
+This file introduces torsion-free and Levi-Civita predicates for affine connections on the tangent
+bundle of a Riemannian manifold, proves uniqueness, and constructs Levi-Civita connections from an
+arbitrary affine connection by the standard correction formula.
+
+The main result is the expected uniqueness statement at the current mathlib boundary:
+if two affine connections are both torsion-free and metric-compatible, then their difference
+one-form vanishes.

+# Metric-compatible covariant derivatives
+
+This file introduces the basic compatibility condition between a covariant derivative and a
+Riemannian metric on a vector bundle.
+
+The condition is stated pointwise: for differentiable sections `σ` and `τ`, the derivative of
+their fibrewise inner product along a tangent vector `u` is the sum of the two expected connection
+terms.
+
+We also record the corresponding skew-adjointness property for the difference of two
+metric-compatible covariant derivatives.

+# The metric defect as a covariant derivative of the metric tensor
+
+This file records the pointwise convention bridge needed when a background
+connection differentiates a Riemannian metric.  The repository writes the
+metric defect with arguments `(v, w, u)`, whereas the induced covariant
+derivative of a covariant two-tensor is written with arguments `(u, v, w)`.
+
+Thus the theorem below says exactly that
+`cov.metricDefect x v w u = (∇_u g)(v, w)`.

+# The scalar Laplace--Beltrami operator
+
+This file constructs the scalar Hessian and Laplace--Beltrami operator from
+the same induced-connection machinery used by the connection Laplacian on
+covariant two-tensors.  For a scalar function `f`, its differential is the
+section `df` of the cotangent bundle obtained from ordinary manifold
+differentiation.  The Hessian is the covariant derivative `∇(df)`, and the
+Laplacian is its metric trace.
+
+The construction is intrinsic: the contraction uses the basis-independent
+canonical covariant metric tensor.  The orthonormal-basis formula below is a
+proved evaluation theorem rather than the definition of the operator.

+# Intrinsic divergence of covariant tensors
+
+This file defines the divergence of covectors and covariant two-tensors by
+contracting their genuine induced covariant derivatives with the canonical
+inverse metric tensor.  It also defines the double divergence of a covariant
+two-tensor.  The definitions are basis independent; orthonormal-basis formulas
+are proved as evaluation lemmas.

+These operators are the geometric contractions required by the scalar
+curvature first-variation formula and the contracted second Bianchi identity.

+# Time-dependent geometric structures
+
+This file packages roadmap point 3 as actual Lean formalization:
+one-parameter families of sections, covariant derivatives, and smooth
+Riemannian metrics, together with slicewise Levi-Civita constructions and
+pointwise-in-time lifts of the static curvature operations.
+
+The time variable is still treated explicitly as an `ℝ`-indexed family rather
+than through a heavy time-differentiability theory. Spatial regularity is
+tracked slice by slice, which is enough to talk coherently about the geometric
+objects at time `t` that later Ricci-flow developments use.

+# Higher regularity of affine torsion
+
+This file records the regularity needed to turn a `C²` affine tangent
+connection into a `C²` torsion-free one.  The correction is one half of the
+torsion tensor itself and is algebraically metric-free; the bundled
+regularity theorems are stated in the smooth Riemannian tangent-bundle context
+used by the tensor-heat layer.

+# Metric trace commutes with the connection Laplacian
+
+For a metric-compatible connection, contraction with the metric is parallel.
+This file proves the resulting trace--Laplacian identity for a genuine
+covariant two-tensor.  The pointwise differentiability hypotheses are kept
+explicit because the connection-Laplacian operators are defined on arbitrary
+sections, including sections which may not be twice differentiable.

+# Finite compact covers subordinate to bundle trivializations

+On a compact Hausdorff base, the preferred trivialization at each point gives
+an open cover.  Compactness extracts a finite subcover, and the finite compact
+shrinking lemma replaces it by compact pieces subordinate to the same
+trivializations.  This file packages that construction in the exact shape
+used by the repository's Banach space of continuous bundle sections.

+# Fiberwise composition of smooth hom-bundle sections
+
+Mathlib's `Mathlib.Geometry.Manifold.VectorBundle.Hom` provides `ContMDiff.clm_bundle_apply`
+(applying a smooth family of linear maps to a smooth section) and `clm_bundle_apply₂`, but no lemma
+composing two smooth hom-bundle sections into a smooth hom-bundle section.
+
+This module supplies exactly that: given `C^n` sections
+`ϕ : ∀ x, E₂ x →L[𝕜] E₃ x` and `ψ : ∀ x, E₁ x →L[𝕜] E₂ x` of the hom bundles, the fiberwise
+composition `x ↦ (ϕ x).comp (ψ x)` is a `C^n` section of `Hom(E₁, E₃)`.
+
+The proof reduces `ContMDiff*_hom_bundle` to the `inCoordinates` representation and uses the fact
+that, on the base set of the middle trivialization, the coordinate readout of a composition is the
+composition of the coordinate readouts (the middle `symmL ∘ continuousLinearMapAt = id`
+cancellation), reducing to the ordinary normed-space `ContMDiff*.clm_comp`.
+
+* `inCoordinates_comp_eq` — the coordinate-readout factorization on the middle base set.
+* `ContMDiffWithinAt.clm_bundle_comp` / `ContMDiffAt.clm_bundle_comp` / `ContMDiffOn.clm_bundle_comp`
+  / `ContMDiff.clm_bundle_comp` — the composition of two smooth hom-bundle sections is smooth.

+# Riemannian metrics as bilinear-form sections
+
+This file packages continuous and `C^n` Riemannian metrics as honest sections of
+the hom bundle with fiber `F →L[ℝ] F →L[ℝ] ℝ`. This is the section-space side of
+the metric data that later point-4 work needs: metrics can be fed directly into
+continuous-section machinery instead of only being handled through ad hoc
+structures.
+
+It also adds extensionality lemmas for continuous and smooth Riemannian metrics,
+so later arguments can reduce metric equality to pointwise equality of the
+fiberwise bilinear forms.

+/-- **Fiberwise bilinear conjugation preserves continuity of a `BilinearFormBundle` section.**
+Given a continuous section `s` of the bilinear-form bundle `BilW` and a continuous section `P` of the
+tangent endomorphism bundle `Hom(W, W)`, the pointwise conjugate `x ↦ (s x).bilinearComp (P x) (P x)`
+— the bilinear form `(u, v) ↦ s x (P x u) (P x v)` — is again a continuous `BilinearFormBundle`
+section.
+
+This is the reaction-operator continuity input built **directly on sections via a tangent-bundle
+endomorphism** `P`, avoiding the triple-nested hom bundle `Hom(BilW, BilW)` (whose `TotalSpace`
+instances do not synthesize).  Proof: reduce to continuity of the trivialization readout via
+`FiberBundle.continuousAt_totalSpace`; on the trivializing base set the readout of the conjugate
+equals `(readout s).bilinearComp (readout P) (readout P)`, where `readout s` is the bilinear-form
+readout of `s` and `readout P = inCoordinates F W F W x₀ x x₀ x (P x)` is the endomorphism readout of
+`P` (both continuous, from the two section-continuity hypotheses), and `f ↦ b.bilinearComp f f`
+is continuous through `ContinuousAt.clm_comp` / `ContinuousAt.clm_flip`
+(`bilinearComp = ((·.comp ·).flip.comp ·).flip`).  The coordinate identity uses

+/-- **The coordinate Lipschitz bound for the frozen-coefficient DeTurck-correction reaction.**  The
+model-fibre readout of the two-sided DeTurck-correction derivation is Lipschitz in the fibre value
+with constant `2 · ‖inCoordinates … (P x)‖`: the difference of the readouts of the derivation at two
+states `s x`, `s' x` (with a *common* frozen endomorphism `P`) is bounded by `2 · ‖inCoordinates …
+(P x)‖` times the difference of the readouts of the two states.
+
+This is **exactly the fibre content of the section-space Picard `hlip` obligation** for the
+frozen-coefficient reaction operator: the bridge's Lipschitz hypothesis reads
+`dist (coord (A t s) i x) (coord (A t s') i x) ≤ K · dist s s'`, and since the continuous-section
+coordinate `coord σ i x` is definitionally the trivialization readout
+`(trivializationAt BilF BilW (x0 i) (TotalSpace.mk' BilF x (σ x))).2` (`coordContinuousMap_apply`)
+and `dist` in the model fibre is `‖· - ·‖`, this lemma supplies the pointwise constant `2 · ‖readout
+P‖` for the DeTurck reaction `A t s = (u, v) ↦ s x (P x u) v + s x u (P x v)`.  Everything stays in
+the clean model fibre `BilF = F →L[ℝ] F →L[ℝ] ℝ` / `F →L[ℝ] F`, so it **elaborates at the tangent
+bundle** `W := TangentSpace I`.  Proof: combine the two state readouts into the readout of their
+fibrewise difference (`trivializationAt_bilinearFormBundle_readout_sub`), use the additivity of the
+derivation in the fibre value (`bilinearComp` is linear in its first slot), and apply the derivation
+size bound `norm_trivializationAt_bilinearFormBundle_deTurckDerivation_readout_le` to the difference
+section. -/

+# Section smoothing for vector bundles
+
+This file adds a proof-bearing section-smoothing layer under the repo namespace:
+
+* local-to-global gluing of smooth vector-bundle sections valued in fiberwise
+  convex sets;
+* smooth approximation of continuous sections of the trivial bundle, including a
+  version fixed on a closed smooth locus;
+* smooth approximation on open subsets and, from that, local smoothing inside a
+  chosen bundle trivialization;
+* a global smoothing theorem for continuous bundle sections whose values are
+  constrained to an open fiberwise convex subset of the total space;
+* an intrinsic fiberwise-`ε` approximation theorem for continuous sections of
+  smooth Riemannian vector bundles.

+The key pattern is: if `f` is `C^n` on an open set `s` and the topological support `tsupport f`
+is contained in `s`, then `f` is globally `C^n` (it is `0` in a neighborhood of every point
+outside `s`).

+# `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.H1`
+
+An upstream-friendly **definition** of a Euclidean `H¹`-type energy space built from `L²`.
+
+At the current Mathlib pin, we do not have a ready-made Sobolev-space development for domains or
+manifolds. For the Laplace–Beltrami compact-resolvent discharge, we mainly need:
+
+1. a Hilbert space `H¹` equipped with a continuous embedding into `L²`;
+2. a continuous “gradient” map `H¹ → L²(E)`; and later
+3. a compactness theorem for the inclusion on bounded domains / compact manifolds (Rellich).
+
+This file defines `H¹` as the closed submodule of `L² × L²(E)` generated by `C¹`-functions with
+compact support and their gradients (expressed using the Riesz representation `toDual`).
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.C1c`:
+  the `ℝ`-submodule of `C¹` compactly supported functions `E → ℝ`.
+- `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.h1`:
+  the (closed) `H¹` submodule of `L²(E) × L²(E,E)`.
+- `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.h1ToL2`:
+  the continuous embedding `H¹ → L²`.
+- `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.h1ToL2Grad`:
+  the continuous gradient map `H¹ → L²(E)`.
+
+No analytic “Sobolev theorems” are proved here; those are tracked separately (Rellich / elliptic
+regularity beads).

+# `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.H2`
+
+An upstream-friendly **definition** of a Euclidean `H²`-type space built from `L²`.
+
+This is a “graph-closure” Sobolev-style construction analogous to `Euclidean.H1`: we take `C²`
+compactly supported functions, map them to their `L²` classes together with their gradient and
+Hessian, and define `H²` as the topological closure of the range inside an ambient `L²` product.
+
+No Rellich/elliptic regularity theorems are proved here; this file is purely definitional/API.

+# `L²` compactness criterion: approximation-by-translation bounds (Euclidean)
+
+This file will prove the key inequality used in the Fréchet–Kolmogorov approach: smoothing by a
+probability kernel controls the `L²` error by the translation modulus.
+
+## Main results (planned)
+
+The principal statement will control `‖smoothL2 ψ u - extendByZeroL2 u‖₂` by an average (or sup) of
+`‖translateL2 t (extendByZeroL2 u) - extendByZeroL2 u‖₂` over `t` in the support of `ψ`.

+# `L²` compactness criterion: Arzelà–Ascoli for the smoothing operator (Euclidean)
+
+This file proves the Arzelà–Ascoli step for the compact smoothing operator used in the
+Fréchet–Kolmogorov / Riesz–Kolmogorov approach to Euclidean Rellich–Kondrachov.
+
+## Main result
+
+- `smoothBCF_image_closedBall_isCompact`:
+  For a compact set `K` and a continuous compactly supported kernel `ψ`, the family
+  `{ smoothFun ψ u | ‖u‖ ≤ R }` restricted to the compact set `K + tsupport ψ`
+  has compact closure in `BoundedContinuousFunction`.

+# `L²` compactness criterion: compact smoothing operator (Euclidean)
+
+This file proves the compactness of the fixed-kernel smoothing operator used in the
+Fréchet–Kolmogorov / Riesz–Kolmogorov approach to Euclidean Rellich–Kondrachov.
+
+## Main results
+
+- `Kψ`: the compact set `K + tsupport ψ` controlling supports of smoothed functions.
+- `smoothBCF`: `smoothFun` packaged as a `BoundedContinuousFunction` on `Kψ`.
+- `uniformContinuous_ψ`: `UniformContinuous ψ` from `Continuous ψ` + `HasCompactSupport ψ`.
+
+The Arzelà–Ascoli compactness statement for `smoothBCF` lives in
+`RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.L2Compactness.ArzelaAscoli`.
+
+This is tracked under Beads `lean-103.5.2.26.5.3.2.2.1`.

+# `L²` compactness criterion: Fréchet–Kolmogorov (Euclidean, compact support case)
+
+This file packages the final “precompactness via smoothing” step behind the Euclidean `L²`
+compactness criterion used by the Rellich–Kondrachov stack:
+
+- the **smoothing operator** `smoothL2 ψ` has compact image on `Metric.closedBall 0 R`;
+- the **approximation inequality** bounds `‖smoothL2 ψ u - extendByZeroL2 u‖` by a translation
+  error.
+
+We state the criterion at the level needed by the project: families of `L²` functions with common
+compact support (modeled as `Lp ℝ 2 (volume.restrict K)` and embedded into `L²(volume)` via
+`extendByZeroL2`).
+
+## Main results
+
+- `norm_smoothL2_sub_extendByZeroL2_le_of_integral_translateL2_sub_extendByZeroL2_le`:
+  if the translation error averaged against `kernelMeasure ψ` is ≤ `η²`, then smoothing approximates
+  `extendByZeroL2` within `η`.
+- `totallyBounded_extendByZeroL2_image_of_forall_exists_translationIntegral_small`:
+  if a bounded family admits, at every scale `ε`, a kernel `ψ` for which the above translation error
+  is uniformly small, then the embedded family is totally bounded in `L²(volume)`.
+- `isCompact_closure_extendByZeroL2_image_of_forall_exists_translationIntegral_small`:
+  the corresponding compact-closure statement.

+# `L²` compactness criterion: existence of small-support probability kernels (Euclidean)
+
+This file provides a “kernel factory” for the Euclidean Fréchet–Kolmogorov / Riesz–Kolmogorov
+criterion: for any radius `δ > 0`, produce a continuous compactly supported function `ψ : E → ℝ`
+such that:
+
+- `ψ ≥ 0`,
+- `tsupport ψ ⊆ Metric.ball 0 δ`,
+- `∫ ψ = 1` (so `kernelMeasure ψ` is a probability measure).
+
+The construction uses mathlib’s `exists_smooth_tsupport_subset` bump-function lemma and normalizes
+by its (positive) integral.

+# `L²` compactness criterion: bounding the translation-integral by a translation modulus
+
+This file provides a small but crucial bridge lemma used to connect a uniform translation modulus
+on `L²(volume)` with the `kernelMeasure` translation-integral bound appearing in the
+approximation-identity estimate.
+
+The core observation is that if `ψ` is supported in a neighborhood where the translation modulus is
+≤ `η`, then the averaged squared translation error against the probability measure
+`kernelMeasure ψ` is ≤ `η²`.

+
+Euclidean Rellich–Kondrachov compactness for fixed compact support (Lebesgue `volume`).
+
+This file discharges the “Euclidean heart” needed by the manifold Rellich glue:
+for a fixed compact set `K ⊆ E`, the inclusion `H¹ → L²` is compact when restricted to the closed
+subspace of `H¹` whose `L²` component is supported in `K` (a.e.).
+
+The proof uses:
+
+1. the Euclidean `H¹` translation estimate
+   `‖τ_a u - u‖₂ ≤ ‖a‖ · ‖∇u‖₂` (`TranslationEstimateH1`);
+2. the Fréchet–Kolmogorov / smoothing-based `L²` compactness criterion
+   (`L2CompactnessCriterion`).
+
+## Main definitions / results

+# `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.SupportedH1`
+
+Supported Euclidean `H¹` subspaces for a general measure.
+
+This file defines the `H¹` subspace of functions whose `L²` component is (a.e.) supported in a
+measurable set `K`, modeled as membership in the closed range of the extension-by-zero map
+`Lp (μ.restrict K) →ₗᵢ Lp μ`.
+
+These definitions match the volume-specialized `h1On` construction used by
+`RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.Rellich`, but are stated for an
+arbitrary measure `μ`. Compactness results are proven elsewhere.

+# `RellichKondrachov.Analysis.FunctionalSpaces.Sobolev.Euclidean.Translation`
+
+Translation utilities for the Euclidean Sobolev model spaces.
+
+This file is intentionally “pre-Rellich”: it provides the algebraic/measure-theoretic translation
+operators and their interaction with the `C¹_c` graph embedding used to define `H¹`.
+
+## Main results
+
+- `translateC1c`: translation as a linear endomorphism of `C¹_c`.
+- `translateL2`: translation as a linear isometry of `L²` (under an invariant measure).
+- `translateL2_toL2` / `translateL2_toL2Grad`: translation commutes with `toL2` / `toL2Grad`.
+- `grad_translate`: the Euclidean gradient commutes with translation.

+Pointwise translation estimates for `C¹_c` functions on Euclidean spaces.
+
+This file provides the key analytic inequality used later in the Euclidean Rellich step:
+translation differences are controlled by the `L²`-gradient.
+
+At this stage we only prove *pointwise* inequalities along the segment `t ↦ x + t • a`.
+The measure-theoretic lifting to `L²` is tracked separately under `lean-103.5.2.26.5.3.2.3`.

+Local Lipschitz control for Riemannian charts.
+
+This file extracts a reusable lemma showing that, around any point `x : M`, the inverse extended
+chart `(extChartAt I x).symm` is Lipschitz on a small ball in chart coordinates (with respect to the
+Riemannian `edist` on `M`).

+`mfderivWithin` is a continuous linear map between tangent spaces. For the model
+space `E` (viewed as a manifold), we locally activate the
+`NormedAddCommGroup`/`NormedSpace` structures on its tangent
+spaces so that operator-norm estimates are available.
+
+This matches the approach used in Mathlib’s Riemannian manifold development: these instances should
+not be global because they need not coincide definitionally with Riemannian structures.

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Riemannian.VolumeMeasure`
+
+Define a canonical “volume” measure on a smooth Riemannian manifold as the Hausdorff measure at
+the manifold dimension, and record a finiteness-on-compacts / compact-manifold finiteness goal.
+
+At the current Mathlib pin, a differential-form based construction of the Riemannian volume form
+is not available. The Hausdorff-measure route provides a fully-defined measure compatible with
+Riemannian isometries and suitable for building `L²(M)` once finiteness properties are in place.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Riemannian.riemannianVolumeMeasure`:
+  Hausdorff measure `μH[dim]` on `M`, using the emetric structure induced by the Riemannian metric.

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.ChartData`
+
+Chart/partition-of-unity data for defining Sobolev spaces on compact manifolds.
+
+For the Laplace–Beltrami compact-resolvent discharge (`lean-103.5.2.26`), we ultimately need
+Sobolev spaces `H¹`, `H²` on a compact smooth manifold `M` together with continuous maps to `L²`
+and to suitable “derivative” targets.
+
+At the current Mathlib pin, the most robust starting point is to make the analytic definitions
+relative to *explicit finite chart data* and a *smooth partition of unity* subordinate to those
+charts; later work can address atlas-independence.
+
+This file provides:
+
+* `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.FiniteChartData`: a finite family of chart centers
+  together with a subordinate `SmoothPartitionOfUnity`.
+* `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.exists_finiteChartData_chartAt`: on a compact smooth
+  manifold, there exists such data subordinate to `chartAt` sources.

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.H1`
+
+Define a scalar `H¹` space on a compact manifold relative to finite chart data.
+
+Given `d : FiniteChartData` and a finite measure `μ` on `M`, we:
+
+- define the submodule `C1` of `C¹` scalar functions `M → ℝ` (in the manifold sense);
+- define the per-chart graph map obtained by localizing into Euclidean `C1c` and then applying the
+  Euclidean `H¹` graph `C1c →ₗ L² × L²(E)`;
+- define `h1` as the topological closure of the range of the product-of-charts graph map.

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.H2`
+
+Define a scalar `H²` space on a compact manifold relative to finite chart data.
+
+Given `d : FiniteChartData` and a finite measure `μ` on `M`, we define a manifold `H²` space as the
+topological closure of the range of a chartwise graph map into
+
+`L²(E, μᵢ) × (L²(E, μᵢ;E) × L²(E, μᵢ; E →L E))`
+
+where `μᵢ` is the pushforward chart measure (`chartMeasure`) and the graph map is obtained by:
+
+1. localizing a `C²` function `f : M → ℝ` to a chart (extend-by-zero outside the chart target);
+2. viewing it as an element of Euclidean `C²_c`;
+3. applying the Euclidean `H²` graph map.

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.Localization`
+
+Chart-based localization of scalar functions on a compact manifold.
+
+Given finite vendorGeometryManifoldSobolevLocalization_chart data `d : FiniteChartData` (a finite family of vendorGeometryManifoldSobolevLocalization_chart centers with a smooth
+partition of unity subordinate to those charts), we define a localization operation
+
+`localize d f i : E → ℝ`
+
+on the model space `E`, obtained by pulling back `ρ_i • f` along the extended vendorGeometryManifoldSobolevLocalization_chart
+`(extChartAt I (d.center i)).symm` and extending by `0` outside the vendorGeometryManifoldSobolevLocalization_chart target.
+
+For compact manifolds, the resulting function has compact support and is `C^1` (hence belongs to
+the Euclidean `C1c` submodule used in the Euclidean Sobolev baseline).

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.LocalizationH2`
+
+Chart-based localization of scalar functions on a compact manifold, at `C²` regularity.
+
+This extends `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.Localization` by showing that if
+`f : M → ℝ` is `C²` in the manifold sense, then its vendorGeometryManifoldSobolevLocalizationH2_chart localization belongs to Euclidean
+`C²_c` (hence can be fed into the Euclidean `H²` baseline graph construction).

+# `RellichKondrachov.Geometry.Manifold.Sobolev.RellichKondrachov`
+
+Infrastructure for proving Rellich–Kondrachov compact embeddings on compact manifolds.
+
+This file is intentionally small: it packages the *operator-theoretic glue* showing that the
+manifold embedding `H¹ → L²` (defined as a finite sum of chart contributions in
+`Sobolev.EmbeddingL2`) is compact once each chart contribution is compact.
+
+The analytic heart of Rellich (compactness on Euclidean chart domains) is tracked separately.

+### A volume-side chart target map defined on the ambient `H¹` target
+
+For the closure argument showing membership in Euclidean `H¹(volume)`, it is convenient to have a
+continuous linear map defined on the *ambient* chart `H¹` target
+`L²(μchart) × L²(μchart;E)`, rather than only on the `extendByZero` range.
+
+We implement this by restricting to `K`, applying the restricted `L²` change-of-measure equivalence,
+and extending by zero back to `L²(volume)`.

+### Closure argument: chartwise volume image lies in Euclidean `H¹(volume)` and `h1On`
+
+We use the graph compatibility lemma above to show that the volume-side projection map sends the
+defining dense range of `FiniteChartData.h1` into the Euclidean graph range on `volume`, and thus
+extends to a map `H¹(M) → H¹(volume)` (and further into `h1On K`).
+
+This sets up the application of Euclidean Rellich compactness on `volume` in later steps.

+up to a scalar multiple (`ν ≤ c • μ` with `c ≠ ∞`), then any `L^p(μ)` function is also in `L^p(ν)`,
+and the identity map induces a bounded linear operator `Lp E p μ →L[ℝ] Lp E p ν`.
+
+If the measures are mutually comparable (`ν ≤ c₁ • μ` and `μ ≤ c₂ • ν`), we get a continuous linear
+equivalence between `Lp` spaces, and compactness of operators can be transported across it.

+# `RellichKondrachov.MeasureTheory.Function.LpSpace.ExtendByZeroRangeEquiv`
+
+Transport `Lp` **extend-by-zero ranges** across comparable measures on a measurable set.
+
+For a measurable set `s`, the extend-by-zero map
+`Lp E p (μ.restrict s) →ₗᵢ[ℝ] Lp E p μ` is a linear isometry. Hence its range is canonically
+isomorphic to `Lp E p (μ.restrict s)`. If two measures `μ, ν` are mutually comparable on `s`,
+`Lp.changeMeasureEquiv` provides an equivalence between the restricted `Lp` spaces, and therefore
+an equivalence between the corresponding extend-by-zero ranges.
+
+This is used in the manifold Rellich glue to transport compactness on `volume` to chart measures on
+fixed compact supports.

+# `RellichKondrachov.MeasureTheory.Function.LpSpace.Restrict`
+
+`L^p` extension-by-zero maps for restricted measures.
+
+Mathlib provides the equivalence
+
+`MemLp (s.indicator f) p μ ↔ MemLp f p (μ.restrict s)`
+
+(`MeasureTheory.memLp_indicator_iff_restrict`). This file packages the corresponding map on `Lp`
+spaces:
+
+`Lp E p (μ.restrict s) →ₗᵢ[ℝ] Lp E p μ`,
+
+given by extension-by-zero (via `Set.indicator`).

+# Sharp scalar comparison and lifespan for positive Einstein Ricci flow
+
+The Challenge states every geometric object explicitly using Mathlib only.
+Curvature is the corrected connection commutator, Ricci and scalar curvature are
+orthonormal contractions, and the Ricci-flow equation is a componentwise time
+derivative. The conclusion includes the exact reciprocal Type-I-rate scalar profile and
+one-sided scalar blow-up at extinction. No evolution equation, maximum
+principle, singularity profile, or lifespan bound is an input hypothesis.

+# Schur's constancy theorem for actual Levi-Civita Ricci curvature
+
+The local trace identification is discharged by
+`CovariantDerivative.ricciDerivative_eq_trace_schurFrame`. Double-contracted
+Bianchi comes from the imported connection-derived library theorem. The final
+`exists_const_of_einstein` theorem assumes actual Levi-Civita curvature, the
+Einstein equation, smoothness, connectedness, and dimension at least three.
+It has no trace bridge or frame hypothesis.
+
+The explicitly named `_of_trace_bridge` lemmas retain the intermediate assembly
+boundary for reuse; the final theorem supplies a proved bridge.

+# The three-dimensional Einstein curvature identity
+
+The first part proves independent pointwise algebra. The convention is
+`R i j k l = ⟪R(eᵢ,eⱼ)eₖ,eₗ⟫`, so Ricci contracts the first and fourth slots.
+The Einstein factor is twice the sectional curvature. In dimension three, skewness
+in the first pair and pair symmetry suffice; first Bianchi is not needed for this implication.
+
+The geometric wrappers use actual Levi-Civita curvature and Ricci from Contractions,
+deriving pair symmetry from metric compatibility and first Bianchi. They prove that
+an Einstein point in dimension three has sectional curvature equal to half its
+Einstein factor. Global constancy of that factor is a separate Schur theorem.

+# Short-time heat well-posedness for symmetric covariant two-tensors
+
+The statement exposes the geometric equation independently of the proof
+development.  The rough Laplacian is the orthonormal trace of the second
+covariant derivative, expanded using Mathlib's manifold derivative and the
+given tangent connection.  The conclusion constructs finite-atlas coefficient
+spaces and their geometric readouts.  For every represented symmetric spatial
+datum and symmetric parabolic source, there is a unique coefficient witness
+whose readout has the asserted initial trace, is fiberwise symmetric, solves
+the actual tensor heat equation, and satisfies a global finite-atlas Schauder
+estimate.
+
+This is deliberately a theorem for the constructed finite-atlas Holder data
+class.  It does not assert that every bare intrinsic section has such a
+coefficient representation, and uniqueness is of the atlas coefficient
+witness in the constructed classical class.

+  - title: Riemannian curvature and geometric analysis toward Ricci flow
+    summary: 'Preserves the proof-bearing geometry packages: curvature and Levi–Civita connections,
+      Bianchi identities, Hamilton–Ivey reaction estimates, Bonnet–Myers, Schur rigidity, almost-Schur,
+      Lichnerowicz–Obata, scalar comparison, and symmetric tensor heat infrastructure. The upstream
+      Poincaré roadmap remains incomplete and this project does not claim the Poincaré conjecture.'

+    main_declarations:
+    - HamiltonIveyReaction.hamiltonIvey_reaction_coercive
+    - HamiltonIveyReaction.hamiltonIvey_ode_pinching
+    main_results:
+    - declaration: HamiltonIveyReaction.hamiltonIvey_reaction_coercive
+      informal: The Hamilton–Ivey reaction term obeys the coercivity estimate at a negative minimum
+        of the pinching quantity.
+    - declaration: HamiltonIveyReaction.hamiltonIvey_ode_pinching
+      informal: The eigenvalue reaction ODE preserves the Hamilton–Ivey pinching inequality under the
+        stated initial bounds.
