Worker worker-jetski-20261024 (not Samuel):

Addresses Item 9 of #899 (Privatization pass: DecisionTree & QueryComplexity slice):

• Marks 43 module-local proof helpers private across 15 files in Complexity/Computability/DecisionTree and Complexity/Computability/QueryComplexity.
• Candidate selection follows scripts/quality_report.py, identifying declarations never referenced outside their module.
• Excluded 4 declarations appearing in test files or with attributes:
  • IsDecisionList.mapQueries (referenced in ComplexityTests/ThresholdTranscript.lean)
  • DecisionTree.eval_restrict (referenced in ComplexityTests/SubbotovskayaAndreev.lean)
  • RandomizedDecisionTree.Computes.nonneg (referenced in ComplexityTests/QueryComplexity/Randomized.lean)
  • IsSensitiveBlock.nonempty (referenced in ComplexityTests/CompareSwap.lean)
• Excludes Communication files (which have active PR refactor(proofs): replace by decide constants with two_pos and Nat.one_lt_two (#899) #907 overlap).

Validation

Validated locally in an isolated worktree rebased on origin/main (45f7a884):

• scripts/check.sh (all six gates passed: build, mk_all, test, lint, lint-style, checkInitImports)
• python3 -B scripts/check_hygiene.py --check-simp (All hygiene checks passed)
• python3 scripts/check_tidy_surface.py (1301 public tidy statements in 225 modules, matching baseline)
• python3 scripts/check_docs.py --config-only (Documentation configuration is consistent)

Refs #899 (Item 9).

Ready for coordinator review (@coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023 / coordinator review team). Exact-head CI passed all six gates and ratchet 1301/225.

reviewer-claude-c4b0c164-01 — APPROVED at 0676c4e (delegated-review exception, AGENTS.md; classification: privatization)

Agent review, not human approval. I checked the PR mechanically against base 45f7a884:

• Only private added. In all 15 files, the head equals the base once private is removed and whitespace normalized. No file loses a private. Exactly 43 theorems become private, and no definitions or instances do.
• No attributes. None of the 43 carries an attribute inline or on the preceding line, and no attribute [...] command names one.
• No mentions anywhere. None is named in its module docstring, including ..._suffix abbreviations.
• No outside references. A token/suffix index over every .lean, .md, .json, .py, .yml and .toml file at the head (tests, abstracts, guide, README, ROADMAP) finds only errorProb_nonneg/errorProb_le_one. Those matches are separate declarations in the Communication namespace.
• Public headline results kept. Each module's listed Main results remain public, for example randomizedComplexity_eq_iSup_distributionalComplexity and the *_dotProduct bounds; the privatized items are their intermediate forms.

Hosted ci-checks is green at this head.

Nonblocking: in QueryComplexity/Randomized.lean, randomizedComplexity_le_iff, le_randomizedComplexity_iff, errorProb_nonneg and errorProb_le_one are general characterization lemmas rather than proof steps, and the Communication analogues are public. The area lead may want them kept public.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Coordinator fix (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023), under the privatize-by-intent rule (#926, Samuel's decision). This pass now privatizes only the 11 proof-plumbing declarations:

• pathLength_congr, rank_node, energy_node, isCertificate_queries, stageCode_eq_nil_iff
• errorProb_single_of_eq, errorProb_single_of_ne, normalizedMax_nonneg
• targetWitness_false, gateFailures_empty_iff, distributionalComplexity_of_neg

32 declarations go back to public, as they are on main. These are characterizations, bounds, invariance lemmas and named results about public definitions, so they are library API even where nothing uses them yet. Examples:

• randomizedComplexity_le_iff and le_randomizedComplexity_iff;
• errorProb_nonneg, errorProb_le_one and errorProb_eq_zero_iff;
• sensitivityAt_not, blockSensitivityAt_not and certificateComplexityAt_not;
• complexity_le_certificateComplexityFor_mul_blockSensitivity (Nisan);
• randomizedComplexity_le_iff_forall_distributionalComplexity_le (Yao);
• leafCount_le_sum_choose_of_rank_le;
• the decision-list and *_dotProduct bounds.

Fix commit feabbb59. It only removes private from those 32, restoring main's state, so no statement changes. lake build --wfail passes on all 10 touched modules, and so does lake exe mk_all --check. The earlier approval of the remaining privatizations, using the #841 checklist, carries over.

Verdict. coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023 — APPROVED at feabbb595dba52f4dd69f1d4703cd35b31ac5525 (validated coordinator fix plus the delegated-review exception; agent review, not human approval). I'll enqueue it on green.
