Milestone M2 of #893: a small modulus exists. This PR is independent of #914/#917; its base is main.

Foundations/NumberTheory/AKS/SmallR.lean proves:

• exists_lt_orderOf: for n ≥ 2 and c = ⌈log₂ n⌉ (Nat.clog 2 n), some 2 ≤ r ≤ 4c⁵ has orderOf (n : ZMod r) > c².
• exists_lt_orderOf_logb: the same in logarithmic form, r ≤ 128 log₂⁵ n and ord_r(n) > log₂² n. This is exactly the hypothesis that prime_of_passes (feat(NumberTheory/AKS): correctness of the AKS primality tests (#893) #917) needs.
• centralBinom_dvd_of_forall_dvd: C(2m, m) divides every common multiple of 1, …, 2m, because each exact prime power of C(2m, m) is at most 2m.

Faithfulness. This is AKS Lemma 4.3 up to the constant. The paper proves r ≤ max(3, ⌈log₂⁵ n⌉) using Nair's lcm(1..m) ≥ 2^m. Here the weaker C(2m, m) ≥ 4^m/(2m+1) gives 128 log₂⁵ n. Track M2 asks for r = O(log⁵ n), which this satisfies. Proving Nair's bound and the exact constant would be a separate follow-up if wanted.

Proof.

• Let s be the least number not dividing X = n^K·∏_{i ≤ c²}(n^i − 1) with K = ⌊log₂(4c⁵)⌋. It exists because C(4c⁵, 2c⁵) > X; the exponent arithmetic is in naturals.
• s is coprime to n. Otherwise, for a prime p dividing both, s = p^v·s' with p^v ∣ n^K (since p^v ≤ 4c⁵) and s' ∣ X by minimality.
• Then the order of n modulo s exceeds c², or else s ∣ n^o − 1 ∣ X.
• This argues coprimality directly. The published proof instead passes from s to s/gcd(s, n).

Scope and remaining work on #893.

• M4, the polynomial-time algorithm, remains and needs Samuel's decision on the time model.
• The ROADMAP.md line for PRIMES ∈ P is introduced in feat(NumberTheory/AKS): the AKS identity and the easy direction of correctness (#893) #914 and updated in feat(NumberTheory/AKS): correctness of the AKS primality tests (#893) #917; I'll add this result there once these land, to avoid conflicting edits.
• The AKS2004 bibliography entry duplicates the one in feat(NumberTheory/AKS): the AKS identity and the easy direction of correctness (#893) #914. Whichever lands second will drop it on rebase.

Citation. "Lemma 4.3" is from my memory of the Annals version and needs checking against the paper.

Abstracts. No impact.

Validation at 43248d38:

• scripts/check.sh: all six strict gates pass.
• scripts/check_hygiene.py passes.
• ComplexityTests/AKSSmallR.lean instantiates both theorems (n = 1000, n = 7), checks C(6,3) ∣ 60, and includes axiom guards.

One-time rebase needed (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023): #916 merged, and the test library is now built from a Lake glob, so ComplexityTests.lean no longer exists. Rebase onto main, resolve the conflict by deleting the file (git rm ComplexityTests.lean), and drop this PR's hunk for it. New test files under ComplexityTests/ are picked up automatically, with no import list to edit. If references.bib also conflicts, keep both entries. Then run the gates and push.

worker-jetski-17d3679e: post-#916 rebase done. Rebased onto main and dropped ComplexityTests.lean. The duplicate AKS2004 bibliography entry is gone, because #914 landed it. New head is 44343953. All six gates pass locally, as does check_hygiene.py --check-simp.

AKS Lemma 4.3 up to the constant, as the body and module doc say plainly. exists_lt_orderOf gives 2 ≤ r ≤ 4c⁵ with ord_r(n) > c², where c = ⌈log₂ n⌉. exists_lt_orderOf_logb gives r ≤ 128 log₂⁵ n and ord_r(n) > log₂² n, which is exactly prime_of_passes's hypothesis in #917. I checked the proof.

• centralBinom_dvd_of_forall_dvd holds because each exact prime power of C(2m, m) is ≤ 2m (Nat.pow_factorization_choose_le).
• If every s ≤ 4c⁵ divided X = n^K ∏_{i ≤ c²}(n^i − 1), then 2^{4c⁵} ≤ (4c⁵+1)·X ≤ 2^{3+5c}·2^{c(2+5c)+c⁵}, contradicting exponent_lt.
• The least non-divisor s is coprime to n: p^v ≤ M gives v ≤ K, so p^v ∣ n^K, and s/p^v ∣ X by minimality.
• ord_s(n) ≤ c² would give s ∣ n^o − 1 ∣ X.
• The logarithmic form uses log₂ n ≤ c ≤ 2 log₂ n for n ≥ 2.

The direct coprimality argument, in place of the paper's s / gcd(s, n) step, is a correct simplification and is stated in the module doc. Hosted ci-checks passed (run 40153452545), and the PR merges cleanly with main.

Nonblocking. The two theorem examples in ComplexityTests/AKSSmallR.lean only instantiate n. A decided witness (an explicit r with orderOf checked by decide, as #917's test does for 31 mod 29) would test something concrete. centralBinom_dvd_of_forall_dvd is a general fact and a Foundations candidate.

Restack (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023, validated coordinator fix). This PR left the merge queue because it conflicted with PRs that merged ahead of it. I rebased it onto main. The only conflict was the generated Complexity.lean, regenerated with mk_all. Apart from ROADMAP.md and the generated files, the PR's own diff is byte-identical to the reviewed one, and mk_all --check passes.
