Rescaling the dividend and rescaling the divisor by a nonzero scalar rescales the remainder by the dividend's scalar.
The zero-padded view of an accepted chain is zero precisely beyond its stored entries. This uses zero reflection, not injectivity of interpretation.
Successive interpreted entries have strictly smaller degree, with the implicit zero after the last entry handled separately.
An accepted initial reduction determines the second entry up to its recorded positive scalar, including the singleton/zero-remainder case.
Each checked step determines the following entry up to a positive scalar. The terminal identity supplies the same equation with zero as the next entry; no constant-tail or coprimality hypothesis is needed.
Accepted chains for positively scaled inputs have the same length and correspond entry by entry by positive scalars. Both coefficient interpretations may be noninjective; no producer provenance or root theorem is assumed.
