At separationDepth, the executable upper radius times the degree is at
most one 256th of the Mahler-radius scale.
A simple root lying in the central half of a square at the executable separation depth satisfies the actual Newton--Kantorovich witness. Other roots of the polynomial may have multiplicity.
Global separability is a convenient sufficient condition for the local simple-root premise.
Once the doubled enclosing square has an NK witness, the executable NK-only certifier returns either its guarded speculative candidate or the base atom.
The mixed certifier has the same successful NK prefix as the NK-only certifier. Pellet is not reached when the doubled enclosing square already has an NK witness.
A component root in the central half of its doubled enclosing square
forces the actual .nk certification path at separationDepth. The depth
hypothesis is deliberately on that enclosing square: deriving it from the
component's leaf precision requires the separate gluing-width invariant.
The successful fixed-depth NK certificate continues to cover the designated component root, including through speculative recentring.
The mixed NK-then-Pellet certifier succeeds at the same fixed depth and continues to cover the designated component root.
