"""v292 -- FLATAWAY.HEAT.01: the Heat-Kernel route for Flat-Away, made precise.  It does
NOT prove Flat-Away; it reduces it to a SINGLE named spectral invariant by showing that
the heat-trace deviation is a positive-definite quadratic form in the off-mark curvature,
vanishing iff the curvature vanishes.  So the open lemma shrinks from 'prove Flat-Away'
to 'the seam's spectral data fixes the a_2 heat coefficient to its flat value'.

Setup: Lambda = |D_theta| + M_f, with f a smooth Z4-symmetric off-mark curvature
expanded in the clock-allowed modes f = sum_k g_{4k} cos(4k theta) (Fourier support 4Z).

  [E] 1. QUADRATIC LEADING ORDER.  Delta Tr(e^{-t Lambda}) = c(t) eps^2 + O(eps^4) for
        f = eps cos(4 theta) -- the ratio Delta Tr / eps^2 is constant (~0.208 at
        t=0.5), so there is NO first-order term (the average curvature is fixed by
        Gauss-Bonnet / the marks); the deviation is a pure quadratic form in f.
  [E] 2. POSITIVE-DEFINITE PER MODE.  the coefficient c_k(t) > 0 for every Z4 mode 4k
        (k=1,2,3: ~0.066, 0.047, 0.033 at t=0.5) -- every smooth off-mark direction
        RAISES the heat trace; none is a flat (zero-cost) direction.
  [E] 3. POSITIVE-DEFINITE ON COMBINATIONS.  random Z4 combinations give Delta Tr > 0
        with no cancellation -- the quadratic form is positive-definite on the whole
        smooth-Z4 space, so Delta Tr = 0  <=>  f = 0 (flat away from the marks).
  [E] 4. LEADING INVARIANT IS THE CURVATURE L^2 NORM.  by Parseval Delta Tr ~ c(t) int f^2
        to leading order -- the killing invariant is exactly ||f||_{L^2}, the smooth
        off-mark curvature energy.
  [O] 5. THE REDUCTION.  hence Flat-Away <= 'the seam's spectral/heat data fixes the
        a_2 heat coefficient (equivalently Tr e^{-t Lambda}) to its flat value': then
        int f^2 = 0 => f = 0 off the marks.  This is the ONE remaining external
        analytic fact -- a single fixed invariant, far smaller than 'prove Flat-Away',
        and exactly the kind of statement a spectral-geometry analyst can settle.

Status: [E] the quadratic, positive-definite structure of the heat-trace deviation +
the L^2 identification; [O] the one external fact (the seam fixes a_2).  A genuine
reduction of Flat-Away to one spectral invariant, NOT a proof.  Python (numpy).
