Section 9 — Canonical matrix SDP witnesses #
This module contains the optimal-witness structures extracted from the canonical matrix SDP. The preceding canonical module proves the block-diagonal algebra, including the dual slack identities and saturation of the slack block. This file records the paper-form optimal pair and the measurement witnesses used by the self-improvement comparison.

SdpStatementWithSlackness.
Matrix-level statement of the strong-duality output for the SDP.
This is the concrete matrix analogue of SdpStatementWithSlackness: it does
not assert that the explicit strict feasible witnesses are optimal. Instead it
records the kind of optimal witness obtained from the paper's
Slater/strong-duality argument. The feasible primal variables in the canonical
SDP remain submeasurements; this statement stores the selected saturated
optimal witness as a complete matrix measurement.
Grounded by: #1230.

Instances For
The dual operator in an optimal matrix SDP witness is positive semidefinite. This follows from dual feasibility, because the averaged point operators are positive.
An optimal matrix SDP witness whose primal total is the identity determines a complete matrix measurement.

Instances For
The stored complementary-slackness equation, expressed through the named matrix-level predicate.
A matrix strong-duality statement gives a complete primal measurement, a
dual operator, dual feasibility, equality of objective values, and the
complementary-slackness equations in the displayed T_g Z = T_g A_g form.
