"""Exact-arithmetic proof checker for the repaired claims R1-R6 of
arXiv:2509.24757 (ICML 2026 #7771).
Every lemma below is an algebraic step in the proof of a repaired claim.
Exact rational arithmetic (fractions.Fraction) is used wherever the statement
is rational; the two power-inequality lemmas over irrational powers use dense
float grids with an explicit margin and are marked GRID. Nothing here touches
the quantum subroutines: those are used black-box and are classified
QUANTUM-DEP in the report (not CPU-testable, hence not CPU-falsifiable).
Stdlib only. Deterministic. SHA-256 fingerprint over printed results.
