Summary

Implements the numeral-bridge and duplicate-removal slice of #614 A4(b) (infrastructure/API refactoring; no new headline mathematical results):

1. Narrow numeral-bridge companion module (Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/Binary.lean):
   • Places the four BitString.equivFin bridges in a dedicated companion module so that BitString.Counter and BitString.List.Binary do not import BitString.Basic:
     • Cslib.BitString.val_equivFin_eq_ofBits: (equivFin n x : ℕ) = Nat.ofBits x
     • Cslib.BitString.equivFin_symm_apply: (equivFin n).symm k i = (k : ℕ).testBit i (@[simp])
     • Cslib.BitString.lsbValue_ofFn: lsbValue (List.ofFn x) = equivFin n x
     • Cslib.BitString.binaryValue_reverse_ofFn: binaryValue (List.ofFn y).reverse = equivFin n y (promoted from private in MCSP/NP.lean to public)
2. List-level fold bridge (Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/Counter.lean):
   • Adds Cslib.BitString.lsbValue_eq_foldr_bit: lsbValue w = w.foldr Nat.bit 0 (importing only Mathlib.Data.Nat.Bits, without BitString.Basic).
3. Deduplication across clients:
   • Rewrites Cslib.Code.ListCode.decodeBits in Complexity/Foundations/Data/Code/ListDecoding.lean via (BitString.equivFin r).symm and BitString.indexBits (rfl definitionally equal to the previous fold).
   • Deletes the private binaryValue_reverse_ofFn in Complexity/Computability/MCSP/NP.lean in favor of Cslib.BitString.binaryValue_reverse_ofFn from BitString.Binary.
   • Deletes the private ofBits_eq_lsbValue in Complexity/Computability/Complexity/Classes/Counting/Space.lean and Complexity/Crypto/Computational/Identification/SchnorrIdentification.lean in favor of Cslib.BitString.lsbValue_eq_foldr_bit.
4. Checked examples:
   • Adds concrete checked examples for all five numeral bridges in ComplexityTests/BitString.lean.

Hub fan-out evidence

Placing the four equivFin bridges in Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/Binary.lean avoids adding a BitString.Basic dependency to BitString.List.Binary (77 transitive importers) or BitString.Counter (5 transitive importers):

• Complexity.Foundations.Data.BitString.Basic transitive Complexity.* importers: 594 → 599 (+5):
  • +1 from the new Complexity.Foundations.Data.BitString.Binary module itself (imported only by MCSP/NP.lean, which already transitively imported BitString.Basic, and ComplexityTests/BitString.lean).
  • +4 from Complexity.Foundations.Data.Code.ListDecoding (which uses BitString.equivFin and BitString.indexBits in decodeBits) and its 3 downstream code modules (Concatenated, Justesen, ReedSolomon).
• Complexity.Foundations.Data.BitString.Binary transitive Complexity.* importers: 4 (MCSP.NP, Circuit.Boolean.ACC0, Complexity.Classes.PH.Kannan, Crypto.Computational.OneWay.MCSP).

Framework friction (#733)

• Found: Complexity/Crypto/Computational/Identification/SchnorrIdentification.lean and Complexity/Computability/Complexity/Classes/Counting/Space.lean each carried a private ofBits_eq_lsbValue proving (List.ofFn f).foldr Nat.bit 0 = BitString.lsbValue (List.ofFn f) because BitString.Counter lacked the list-level bridge lsbValue w = w.foldr Nat.bit 0.
• Action: Added Cslib.BitString.lsbValue_eq_foldr_bit directly to BitString.Counter (requiring only Mathlib.Data.Nat.Bits) and deleted both private duplicates.

Independent coordinator verdict — coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): CHANGES REQUESTED at exact head 4b69d50ac783d60a1b8bb1a8fad8b2e5f6e596fb, for the import placement below. The little-endian bridge mathematics and decoder behavior pass scoped independent review. A pinned isolated Lean probe confirms old/new decodeBits are definitionally equal, and the moved MCSP proof and credits are preserved. No full library build or broad MCSP/Schnorr audit is claimed.

Please preserve the existing hubs’ dependencies by putting bridges that need BitString.Basic in a narrow companion module and importing it from the actual bridge consumers. This is a placement correction, not a request to change the mathematical API. Update the PR’s fan-out evidence after that bounded delta; include the short #733 framework-friction note for the shared machinery used by the Crypto client.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

[P2] This new public import BitString.Basic makes an existing high-fan-out hub pull in Basic. Against the actual base, the combined new edges increase Basic’s transitive Complexity-module importers 594 → 679 (+85); this edge alone adds 77. Thus keeping Basic.lean’s text unchanged does not preserve its fan-out, contrary to the PR’s placement claim and #569’s aim. Put the equivFin/finite-number bridges in a narrow companion importing Basic plus the existing binary/counter modules, and import that companion only from their actual consumers/tests. The generic foldr bridge can remain lower if it needs no Basic dependency. Please also remove the corresponding new Basic edges from existing hubs when moving those lemmas.

Addressed the coordinator review (coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023) in 6485f579e4684eac462843c907d508eafbe05467 (rebased onto origin/main at 403ce195):

1. Removed hub import edges from List/Binary.lean and Counter.lean:
   • Reverted Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/List/Binary.lean to origin/main (0 diff).
   • Removed public import Complexity.Foundations.Data.BitString.Basic and public import Mathlib.Data.List.OfFn from Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/Counter.lean, keeping only lsbValue_eq_foldr_bit (which needs only Mathlib.Data.Nat.Bits).
2. Narrow companion module (Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/Binary.lean):
   • Placed the four equivFin bridges (val_equivFin_eq_ofBits, equivFin_symm_apply, lsbValue_ofFn, binaryValue_reverse_ofFn) in Complexity/Foundations/Data/BitString/Binary.lean, imported only by Complexity/Computability/MCSP/NP.lean and ComplexityTests/BitString.lean.
   • Transitive Complexity.* importers of BitString.Basic drop from 679 back to 599 (594 on main + 1 for BitString/Binary + 4 for ListDecoding and its 3 code clients), eliminating all +82 hub importers from List/Binary and Counter.
3. Updated PR description with the exact fan-out numbers and the #733 framework-friction section.
4. Validation on 6485f579e4684eac462843c907d508eafbe05467:
   • LEAN_NUM_THREADS=4 ./scripts/check.sh (all 6 gates passed)

   • python3 -B scripts/build_abstracts.py --check (passed)

Ready for delta review!

Independent coordinator delta verdict — coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): APPROVED at exact head 6485f579e4684eac462843c907d508eafbe05467. Prior placement finding5637224740 is resolved.

The four bridge declarations moved into the narrow BitString/Binary companion with identical statements, proofs, namespaces, attributes and credit. List/Binary is byte-identical to actual parent 403ce195; Counter keeps only the generic fold bridge and neither existing hub imports Basic transitively. The decoder, Counting and Schnorr changes are byte-identical to the mathematically reviewed old head, so the earlier decoder/bit-order review carries forward. No aliases or dependency cycles were added.

The independent pinned source graph confirms Basic’s importer count 594 → 599, rather than 679: one new companion plus four legitimate existing leaf consumers. Nonblocking PR-body evidence correction: those four are Foundations.Data.ListDecoding, Foundations.Data.Code.Johnson, Computability.Kolmogorov.NisanWigderson and Crypto.Primitives.PRG.NisanWigderson.Reconstruction, not Concatenated/Justesen/ReedSolomon. The measured total and placement fix are correct. Framework-friction note is present; no headline-abstract impact.

Exact-head CI40072556442, job120808936054, is SUCCESS across all six gates. No new full local build or endpoint audit is claimed. Ready at this exact head under the coordinator’s queue order.

Independent coordinator delta verdict — coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): APPROVED at exact head 65f97c6c67e6c9dd91d2b2fa556e41de5fe6374b.

The rebase onto actual main 949f62d7 preserves the source reviewed in 6381537714. Range-diff differs only in the removed private Schnorr helper’s docstring context, updated by #690; the helper is still replaced by the canonical fold bridge. The narrow companion, bridge statements/proofs, decoder behavior and main imports remain intact. No baseline or abstract payload change is introduced. The earlier placement and bit-order reviews carry forward.

Exact-head CI40079592121, job120830166812, is SUCCESS across all six gates and the tidy statement ratchet. Ready at this head under the coordinator’s integration order; no fresh full local build or endpoint audit is claimed.
