diaz-modulus-lean and prove2me-logs: the four exponentials theorem in transcendence degree one is proved

The 1973 construction whose four children began to close in diaz-modulus-lean is finished, and with it the four exponentials theorem in transcendence degree one. The norm child went first: FourExp.norm_to_polynomial_alg is proved (a38d9db) by linear algebra rather than the paper’s conjugates — the value is presented as Π ∈ ℤ[X][Y] reduced modulo the monic Q, P = det M is the determinant of multiplication by Π in the basis 1, Y, …, Y^(d−1), non-vanishing comes from a kernel vector that would contradict the minimality of Q, and smallness from the adjugate identity M·adj M = (det M)I. That made the core, FourExp.construction_core_1973, a Proved node by cascade.

Three small leaves then closed the construction — rank-one parametrization, the growth of the majorants x²√log x and x²/√log x, and the counting inequality (80N⁴/√log N unknowns against 98N⁴/√log N equations) — each accepted on its first submission, and the cascade proved FourExp.auxiliary_construction, FourExp.small_polynomials_of_counterexample, DiazModulus.four_exponentials_trdeg_one and the period-aligned half of the Diaz branch that reduces to it (4118fcc): if x₁, x₂ and y₁, y₂ are ℚ-linearly independent pairs whose four products have algebraic exponentials, the field they generate has transcendence degree at least two — every step, from Siegel’s lemma to the final contradiction, checked by Lean, and the mirror now holds 154 of 154 entries. The journal in prove2me-logs records the same two steps with the nodes and submissions (51e8586, 8a676e5).
