The preserved v0.6.0 release records 56 of 56 manuscript-proved finite items, 392 named theorem declarations in 40 modules, and 66 separately counted construction audits. Of the theorem declarations, 19 are reused foundation results. These are inherited records, not a new Lean run for this editorial edition.

Evidence and its precise use in the source edition
EvidenceIts precise use here
Saved Lean recordsPreserve the exact hypotheses and declared finite formalization boundary.
Fresh portable checksReproduce the guide's displayed matrices, identities, integer models, and finite optima. They are not extracted Lean proofs.
Vector drawingsDisplay explicit arrays, schedules, and sampled geometric formulas. Pixel accuracy is not algebraic certification.
Separate software checksThe release verification report records actual runs, tolerances, failures, and unavailable gates; these are separate from this guide's exact arithmetic.
Historical GPU corpusRemains a record of the supplied original cases and environment. It is not a new measurement.

The recompression distinction

The sixth block derives best-rank and singular-tail conclusions from ordered thin-SVD equations, rather than assuming an optimality certificate. It does not independently establish general SVD existence, certify a floating-point QR/SVD algorithm, or identify every result with a canonical singular-values API. Those are separate statements.

The four classical entries remain visible

The manuscript separately tracks Eckart–Young–Mirsky, the conjugate-gradient energy estimate, the floating-point product model, and simultaneous spectral decomposition. The strengthened ordered-SVD proof does not silently promote all associated existence and numerical-algorithm claims.

Limits of exact compilation

The optimizer needs a finite candidate tree with additive data. Nonlocal cache effects, overlapping decompositions, global rank coupling, and unrestricted discovery can destroy its optimal substructure. No new generic dense-matrix exponent or universal accelerator claim follows from this guide.

Read this as

This is a reader-facing reconstruction of the paper's finite concepts, with reproducible examples and preserved source evidence. It changes exposition, not the formal theorem contract.

Source and conversion record

The original atlas wording, equations, and drawing labels are retained. Drawings are views of the retained visual-guide PDF. Text descriptions and table headings are added reading aids. This conversion does not rebuild TeX, rerun the examples, audit proofs or compile Lean.

The revised crosswalk binds all 32 plates to the retained PDF. Manuscript links use stable source labels checked against the manuscript. The guide’s “Classical input 7.5” resolves to the manuscript’s “Standard fact 7.5” at the same label.
