Helper completeness: input consistency and the SDP bridge #
This file contains the part of the helper-completeness argument which relates
input consistency, SDP dual feasibility, and complementary slackness. These
lemmas correspond to the lower-bound calculation at the end of the completeness
proof in references/ldt-paper/self_improvement.tex, lines 406--414.

The incoming consistency of the original polynomial measurement gives the matching-mass lower bound used in the helper-stage completeness proof.
This is the last step of the proof of
references/ldt-paper/self_improvement.tex, lines 407--414: after evaluating
the original input measurement G at a random point, ConsRel ... nu says the
off-diagonal mass is at most nu, hence the diagonal matching mass is at least
1 - nu. The blueprint mirror is

Reindex the averaged input-consistency overlap as the SDP overlap
Σ_g ⟨ψ, A_g ⊗ G_g⟩.
This is the algebraic content of references/ldt-paper/self_improvement.tex,
lines 410--411: the pointwise match mass
E_u Σ_a ⟨ψ, A^u_a ⊗ G_[g(u)=a] ψ⟩ is the same expression as
Σ_g ⟨ψ, (E_u A^u_{g(u)}) ⊗ G_g ψ⟩, after reindexing by the value of g at
u. The blueprint mirror is

Dual feasibility upper-bounds the SDP overlap by the dual mass
⟨ψ, Z ⊗ I ψ⟩.
This formalizes references/ldt-paper/self_improvement.tex, lines 408--410:
since G is a submeasurement, Z ⊗ I dominates Z ⊗ G, and since the SDP
dual is feasible, each Z dominates the averaged point operator
E_u A^u_{g(u)}.
The input-consistency lower bound, after the SDP reindexing and dual feasibility steps, gives the lower bound on the dual mass used in helper completeness.

without asserting the later Cauchy--Schwarz comparison from Hhat to Z or any
of the projective final-fields transport handled by PR #1071.
Complementary slackness converts the averaged-point sum to the dual mass.
This is the exact algebraic replacement used at the end of
references/ldt-paper/self_improvement.tex, lines 397--403: after the
Cauchy--Schwarz moves have produced
Σ_h ⟨ψ, T_h · (E_u A^u_{h(u)}) ⊗ I ψ⟩, complementary slackness replaces
T_h · (E_u A^u_{h(u)}) by T_h · Z, and the primal completeness
Σ_h T_h = I reduces the sum to ⟨ψ, Z ⊗ I ψ⟩.
