Every pointer stored by the actual sparse search is already a root.
The final native representatives identify both ends of every emitted generator edge, including admissions that did not reduce the orbit count.
The actual representatives are invariant under every word in the actual emitted generator list.
Two vertices have the same native output representative exactly when a colour-preserving automorphism carries one to the other.
The stored representative is the least vertex in the full native automorphism orbit, not merely the representative of a discovered subgroup.
The stored orbit count is exactly the number of least representatives
of the full automorphism orbits. It is the actual orbjoin count, with no
postprocessing search or replacement computation.
