"""v1 -- The mu4 glue theorem: E8 = (D5 + A3) + mu4-glue.
Backs the claim "Glue theorem (proved)" in
introduction.tex (architecture, before/after, plausibility tables)
tfpt_1_architecture_e8.tex (Part II: the D5(+)A3+mu4 construction)
tfpt_3_e8_audit_bootstrap.tex (the load-bearing derived results).
It checks, from the Cartan matrices alone, that D5 and A3 share the
discriminant group Z4, that their discriminant-form norms 5/4 and 3/4 sum to
the E8 root norm 2, and that the glued rank-8 even lattice has 240 roots and
dimension 248.
It then provides an EXPLICIT lattice certificate (reviewer point A5): it
constructs all 240 E8 roots, verifies they all have norm^2 = 2, builds the
Bourbaki simple-root Z-basis, and certifies the lattice is EVEN (integer Gram,
even diagonal) and UNIMODULAR (det of the simple-root Gram = 1), with every
root integral over the basis -- i.e. the constructed overlattice IS the even
unimodular E8 lattice, not merely a matching of the arithmetic tail.
