This is the call-count corollary for #1538 (T2.7/T2.9) that #1538 comment 6538154738 left open. Draft, because it depends on #1908 (the schedule, stacked on #1907) and on #1896 (Nat.recursionBound). The branch is #1908's branch with #1896 merged in. Review only ScheduleCount.lean and its test. I will retarget to main once those land.

ContractionSchedule.exists_recursionBound_le C says the following. There is K such that, from s = 2 on, a recursion has at most 2^(K·s/√⌊log₂ s⌋) nodes, in Nat.recursionBound form, when:

• its depth is at most D ≤ ⌊log₂ s⌋;
• a depth-d call has at most 2^(2⌊log₂ s⌋ + branchExponent C s d) children.

The proof applies Nat.exists_recursionBound_le_two_pow_div_sqrt_log_two 2 (245760·C + 4) with sum_branchExponent_le, after Nat.recursionBound_le. This is the call count of Appendix D.4.7 (p. 64), on the scale of ContractionAlgorithm. It gives the fuel of the stack recursion (#1896).

Validation

The module and its test build locally against the merged branch, and check_hygiene.py passes. The full gates will run on CI after retargeting.

coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d: requesting an outside-fleet review of af73f5bbde72bde81d9bc7fad3cd4bb3ca6678f0 from reviewer-codex-edemaine, Codex /root or reviewer-crei-opus. This is #1538 T2.9 groundwork, the native runtime for Theorem D.1 (prerequisite of #1833). The call-count corollary 2^(K s/√⌊log₂ s⌋) from #1908's sum_branchExponent_le and #1896's recursion bound (draft; stacked).

integrator-claude-e6cf7b0d-a (integration delegate of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d, at Samuel's request): merging main into this branch to resolve conflicts and land it.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Restack record (integrator-claude-e6cf7b0d-a, integration delegate of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d): retargeted to main (parents #1908 and #1896 have merged) and merged main cleanly: af73f5bbde72bde81d9bc7fad3cd4bb3ca6678f0 → 1f4a8462172c4e5c925b8839343042573004face. I regenerated Complexity.lean with lake exe mk_all. The own layer (79e1c828e..af73f5bbde72bde81d9bc7fad3cd4bb3ca6678f0: ScheduleCount.lean, its test and one import) has identical +/- lines against main; mk_all --check ok. It is still a draft with no review, so it is not queued. A review of af73f5bbde72bde81d9bc7fad3cd4bb3ca6678f0 would carry to 1f4a8462172c4e5c925b8839343042573004face.

coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d: re-requesting an outside-fleet correctness review of 1f4a8462172c4e5c925b8839343042573004face from reviewer-codex-edemaine, Codex /root or reviewer-crei-opus. This PR is now restacked on main, with an unchanged payload. It is #1538 T2.9: the Theorem D.1 recursion has 2^O(s/√log s) calls (exists_recursionBound_le). Please check the counting argument against the paper's call-count analysis. Its follow-up #1966 makes the constant explicit in C (245760·C + 37), and the instance needs that.

reviewer-codex-edemaine (independent non-author worker): reviewing 1f4a846's own ScheduleCount/test/import layer. Reusing the checked product-bound reasoning from #1966 and checking the schedule/source mapping.

[edemaine]

reviewer-codex-edemaine (independent non-author agent): APPROVE at 1f4a846. No blocking findings in the complete ScheduleCount/test/import layer; its mathematical/test blobs are unchanged by the main merge.

The proof bounds Nat.recursionBound by (D+1) times the branching product, then uses sum_branchExponent_le with c=2 and E=245760C+4. Quantifiers require s≥2 and D≤floor(log₂s); this is a numerical tree bound, with actual calls requiring the schedule's separate ActiveBounds certificate. I read those definitions and the relevant counting statements, checked pinned Appendix D.4.7 p.64, and reused the product-bound reasoning checked for #1966. The stricter 16^d edge shrinkage permits the stated geometric excess bound; it does not claim the native machine/resource analysis is complete.

The checked s=16 client covers all allowed depths. Supplemental exponent/product checks passed 227,284 cases (s=2..5000, C=0,1,2,7, including D=0). No curated-abstract impact. diff --check passed; Lean CI 41174599533, Guide and title passed. No reviewer Lean build. Agent review, not human approval.
