Extend affine finite-symbol sufficiency to degree-d source boxes #297

Description

@PerAlexandersson

Context

Merged theorem RealRooted.BorceaBranden.finiteSymbol_preserves_stability is
the genuine affine Borcea--Branden finite-symbol implication, but its source is
restricted to the multiaffine box MvPolynomial.degreeOfLE sigma C (fun _ => 1).

Issue #240 needs the exact symbol computed by
finiteAlgebraicSymbol_bidiagonalLinearMap, whose source is a one-variable
degree-d box. These theorem shapes do not compose directly.

Primary source: Borcea--Branden, arXiv:0809.0401, Proposition 2.4, equation
(2.2), and Lemma 2.5. Paper-cache id: 84.

Required outline

  1. Polarize each source coordinate of degree kappa i into a block of kappa i
    multiaffine variables, tracking binomial normalization exactly.
  2. Define the lifted linear operator on the multiaffine source box and prove
    diagonal specialization reconstructs the original operator value.
  3. Prove the algebraic symbol of the lifted operator is the corresponding
    source-block polarization of the genuine affine algebraic symbol.
  4. Transfer stability of the original symbol to the lifted multiaffine symbol
    using the checked polarization/Grace--Walsh--Szego API.
  5. Apply checked theorem finiteSymbol_preserves_stability.
  6. Specialize back to obtain the zero-aware stability conclusion for the
    original degree-box operator.

For the first application, it is enough to handle sigma = Fin 1 with degree
bound d; a general coordinatewise-degree theorem is preferable only if it does
not obscure the normalization.

Acceptance criteria

  • Add a checked theorem, not a def-Statement proposition, sorry, axiom, or an
    assumption of the desired preserver conclusion.
  • The conclusion must remain zero-aware.
  • Prove the exact algebraic-symbol/polarization identity, including all
    binomial coefficients and variable renamings.
  • Do not use the refuted homogeneous FiniteSymbolPF.finiteSymbol route.
  • Demonstrate the application to finiteAlgebraicSymbol_bidiagonalLinearMap
    without claiming that the current one-sided Jensen certificate implies
    affine-symbol stability.
  • Run focused and aggregate Lake builds and report the theorem witness names.
