Capability items M4, M5, M6 and the remainder of M7 from the autoresearch roadmap.

M7 — Taylor-model coverage 18 → 23

bessel_j0, bessel_j1, digamma, gamma, lambert_w. None refused.

Bessel needed no Cauchy estimate. Iterating the derivative recurrence and feeding in Bessel's integral gives |Jν⁽ⁿ⁾(x)| ≤ 1 at every order — the same uniform bound sin/cos already use, with no monotonicity assumed anywhere. (The Cauchy route was tried and is a factor √(2πn) worse.) gamma closes on convexity plus |Γ(u+iv)| ≤ Γ(u); digamma on Hurwitz zeta being termwise decreasing; lambert_w on a closed form with each factor bounded by its own proved monotonicity.

Re-verified here: 600 boxes, zero enclosure escapes; converged ranges reproduce the truth exactly (J₀[−10,10] = [−0.402759, 1], Γ[0.5,3] = [0.885603, 2]); off-domain refuses.

A second unsound ball kernel found and fixed. ArbBall::lambert_w0 hulled two f64 evaluations (~1e-16 error) inside a ball of radius 5e-40 at 128 bits — on [1,1] its enclosure did not contain W₀(1). Now a Newton guess certified afterwards in ball arithmetic via monotonicity of w·eʷ. Same family as the bessel_jn hull bug last week: evaluate at points, hull, hope. ArbBall::gamma is new — gamma had no ball arithmetic at all.

M6 — modular evaluation

ModularRecurrence evaluates S(N) mod p^k straight from the recurrence, plus binomial_mod (Lucas / Granville).

Singular indices are the trap — the leading coefficient can vanish mod p, making the step non-invertible exactly where a naive implementation goes silently wrong. A scan pass computes the p-adic valuation at every step before any value exists, the forward pass runs at k + Σv precision, and a step whose numerator isn't divisible refuses (E-HOLO-007) rather than returning a residue it can't justify.

Apéry a(p−1) mod p⁴ modular exact recurrence exact binomial sum (what the harness does)
428 primes 270 ms 4.67 s 50.1 s

Residues re-checked here against exact big-integer arithmetic across every prime/precision/index combination tried. CongruenceSweep.skipped() reports unreachable primes rather than counting them as successes.

M5 — asymptotics from recurrence

Proved and fitted are separated structurally, not in prose. Growth rate, polynomial exponent and roots are functions of the coefficients alone (exact Rational when ρ is rational); the connection constant is extrapolated from terms and appears only under a fitted key with its own convergence and drift. With no terms supplied it returns None rather than a guess.

Root multiplicity comes from exact Yun squarefree decomposition, not clustering — A359643's characteristic polynomial is (t−1)³(27t−283), which a tolerance-based test would have refused. Equal-modulus roots, degenerate leading coefficients, and sequences not following the dominant root are reported, not answered.

Fibonacci control (the one case where C is derivable): ρ = φ, α = 0, C → 1/√5 at 6.0e-14. A359643's full OEIS shape 283^(n+1/2)/(2^(7/2)√(πn)·3^(3n+1/2)) is reproduced.

M4 — q-Zeilberger

Chosen over multivariate telescoping because qfield.rs's tower is generically Q(v), Q(v)[w], Q(v)(w): re-read with x = qⁿ, y = q^k it supplies two of three levels, leaving only the y arithmetic new. Branch (a) would have needed a Q(n)(k,l) tower, an exploding multi-shift ansatz and 2-D boundary analysis with corner terms.

q-Vandermonde verified three ways, including summing the definition in exact Q(q) rather than through the shift quotients — the A279013 lesson applied.

The boundary analysis is not endpoint evaluation, and cannot be. The certificate has a genuine double pole at q^k = q^{n+1} exactly where the summand has a double zero, so G there is a finite non-zero limit of 0·∞; any proof multiplying those values is wrong. The proof bounds the support by Fourier–Motzkin over ℚ and inducts finiteness downwards. A test pins the pole so a future "simplification" back to endpoint evaluation fails loudly.

⚠️ q-supercongruences remain out of reach. This proves identities over Q(q) with q transcendental, and every verdict records that this does not license specialising q to a root of unity — which is exactly what those conjectures are. The literature is closer, not open.

Verification

pytest tests/ 3243 passed / 61 skipped / 0 failed · cargo test --workspace --release 2158 passed / 0 failed · clippy clean (default + cranelift) · RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc clean · fmt, ruff, check_error_codes (208 codes), check_api_freeze (additive) all clean · silent-error gate 0/247.

Three agents cross-reported gate failures in each other's in-flight files during development; all were resolved by their owners and the final run above is a single clean pass.

Known limits

Elliptic integrals are the only Taylor gap left — ArbBall is backed by MPFR, not Arb, so there's no kernel to call, and EllipticF/E(φ,m)/Pi are arity 2–3 while the Taylor Func arm handles only unary. Multivariate telescoping (M4 branch a) is untouched. The q-search is bounded but has no wall-clock guard, so an awkward summand can run long rather than refuse promptly.

rest of the Taylor-model coverage

Capability items M4, M5, M6 and the remainder of M7 from the autoresearch
roadmap.

M7 — Taylor-model coverage 18 -> 23: bessel_j0, bessel_j1, digamma,
gamma, lambert_w. Bessel needed no Cauchy estimate: iterating the
derivative recurrence and feeding in Bessel's integral gives
|J_v^(n)(x)| <= 1 at every order, the same uniform bound sin/cos use, so
no monotonicity is assumed anywhere. gamma closes on convexity plus
|Gamma(u+iv)| <= Gamma(u); digamma on Hurwitz zeta being termwise
decreasing; lambert_w on a closed form with each factor bounded by its
own proved monotonicity. 600 boxes re-checked here against mpmath, zero
escapes; converged ranges reproduce the true ones exactly.

Found and fixed a second unsound ball kernel while there:
ArbBall::lambert_w0 hulled two f64 evaluations (~1e-16 error) inside a
ball of radius 5e-40 at 128 bits, so on [1,1] its enclosure did not
contain W0(1). Replaced by a Newton guess certified afterwards in ball
arithmetic via monotonicity of w*e^w. Same family as the bessel_jn hull
bug last week. ArbBall::gamma is new — gamma had no ball arithmetic.

M6 — modular evaluation of holonomic sequences. ModularRecurrence
evaluates S(N) mod p^k from the recurrence without going through Z, plus
binomial_mod with Lucas/Granville. The pitfall is singular indices, where
the leading coefficient vanishes mod p and the step is not invertible: a
scan pass computes the p-adic valuation at every step before any value
exists, the forward pass runs at k + sum(v) precision, and a step whose
numerator is not divisible refuses (E-HOLO-007) rather than returning a
residue it cannot justify. Apery a(p-1) mod p^4 over 428 primes: 270ms
against 50.1s for the exact binomial sum the research harness uses.
CongruenceSweep.skipped() reports unreachable primes rather than counting
them as successes.

M5 — asymptotics_from_recurrence. Poincare-Perron characteristic
analysis with proved and fitted parts structurally separated: growth
rate, polynomial exponent and roots are functions of the coefficients
alone and exact when rho is rational; the connection constant is
extrapolated from terms and exposed only under a `fitted` key with its
own convergence and drift. Root multiplicity comes from exact Yun
squarefree decomposition, not clustering — A359643's characteristic
polynomial is (t-1)^3(27t-283), which a tolerance test would have
refused. Equal-modulus roots, degenerate leading coefficients and
sequences not following the dominant root are reported, not answered.
Reproduces A359643's full OEIS shape.

M4 — q-Zeilberger, chosen over multivariate telescoping because
qfield.rs's tower is generically Q(v), Q(v)[w], Q(v)(w), so re-read with
x = q^n, y = q^k it supplies two of three levels and only the y
arithmetic is new. q-Vandermonde verified three ways, including summing
the definition in exact Q(q) rather than through shift quotients.

The boundary analysis there is not endpoint evaluation, and cannot be:
the certificate has a genuine double pole at q^k = q^(n+1) where the
summand has a double zero, so G is a finite non-zero limit of 0*inf. The
proof instead bounds the support by Fourier-Motzkin over Q and inducts
finiteness downwards. A test pins the pole so a future "simplification"
back to endpoint evaluation fails loudly.

q-supercongruences remain out of reach: this proves identities over Q(q)
with q transcendental, and every verdict records that this does not
license specialising q to a root of unity, which is what those
conjectures are about.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 67d14

This PR adds new q-Zeilberger, modular-recurrence, asymptotic, and validated-function behavior, but the current head can still return silently misassociated modular residues and order-dependent exact values, while extreme inputs may overflow or trigger impractical work. These are concrete correctness and availability risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until the affected paths are fixed or explicitly accepted.

List E-HOLO-021 in the refusals column.

Rule 24 states that E-HOLO-024 is permanent, which implies E-HOLO-021 is the bounds-limited case. The refusal table at Line 1203 does not name E-HOLO-021, and rule 13 repeats the same list without it. An agent that reads only the table can record an exhausted q_zeilberger search as "no recurrence exists".

Add E-HOLO-021 (and, for the same reason, E-HOLO-008) to the refusals column.

The repository guideline requires user-facing error codes to be documented: "Every error type must have a stable E-SUBSYSTEM-NNN code; add new error codes to docs/ if user-facing". As per coding guidelines.

43-68: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Monomial construction allocates a dense vector proportional to the exponent.

qq_pow(i) and ratx_x_pow(a) allocate |i| + 1 coefficients. Affine forms accept coefficients up to MAX_COEFF = 1 << 20 (see term.rs Line 59), and q_monomial passes those coefficients straight through. A single in-class term with a large-but-accepted coefficient then allocates about a million Rational values per monomial, repeatedly during the search.

Consider bounding the exponent that reaches these constructors, or returning Unsupported above a smaller cap, so an accepted-but-large linear form cannot dominate memory and time.

Replace the unwrap_or(i64::MAX) overflow sentinel with an explicit error.

f.d.checked_mul(t).unwrap_or(i64::MAX) substitutes a sentinel on overflow. The following Affine::add rejects it because i64::MAX exceeds MAX_COEFF, so the current behavior is an Unsupported error. The safety depends on that indirect relation. Propagate the overflow directly, so a future change to MAX_COEFF cannot turn the sentinel into an accepted coefficient.

Bound the candidate loop before it allocates rationals.

c0 and cd may each be as large as DIVISOR_SEARCH_CAP (1 << 34). A highly composite value in that range has several thousand divisors, so the nested loop can run tens of millions of iterations. Each iteration constructs a Rational and normalizes it, even though most candidates are discarded by the err > 1e-6 * scale test at Line 1118.

Consider marking the large-index checks as slow.

test_the_leading_term_tracks_the_real_terms_at_large_n builds 401 terms of A359643, and each term is a sum of binomial products, so the setup alone is quadratic in the index with large integers. The native call additionally runs the recurrence forward to index 1024 in exact rational arithmetic. Several other tests in this file drive the same 1024-index extension.

If the total runtime is noticeable, add @pytest.mark.slow to the heaviest cases so that the default run stays fast.

growth_rate remains a numeric root-finder result, even though this degree-one case currently returns exactly 4.0. Use round(r.growth_rate, 12) == 4.0 or assert r.growth_rate_exact == 4 instead.

Skip the Hurwitz-zeta call when p < 2.

At p == 1 the guard passes, hurwitz_zeta_ints(&c, 2, prec) runs the full head pass, and the loop for j in 1..1 reads nothing. The result is discarded.

Make SHIFT adaptive; the head pass is the dominant cost and is partly wasted for large a.

SHIFT is always 100, so every call performs 100 ball divisions plus 100 · (s_max − 1) ball multiplications at working precision. digamma and gamma call this once per Taylor-model evaluation, and bound_on_box re-evaluates the model on every subdivision. tests/test_validated_bessel_gamma_lambert.py runs max_subdivisions=4096 on both functions, so at order 8 that is on the order of 10⁷ high-precision operations for one bound.

The head terms only exist to raise A = a + SHIFT. When a is already large, they add nothing: the box (100.0, 101.0) in the containment tests pays the full price to move A from 100 to 200.

Shift only as far as needed:

♻️ Proposed refactor: shift only up to the target `A`
-        /// Exact terms taken before the asymptotic tail.  100 puts `A ≥ 100`,
-        /// where the correction terms fall off by roughly `(2π·100)⁻²` each.
-        const SHIFT: usize = 100;
+        /// Target for `A = a + shift`.  At `A ≥ 100` the correction terms fall
+        /// off by roughly `(2π·100)⁻²` each.  The head is only summed up to
+        /// that target, so a large `a` pays for no exact terms at all.
+        const TARGET: usize = 100;
@@
         let a_lo = lb(a);
         if !strictly_positive(&a_lo) {
             return Err(ValidatedError::DomainViolation {
                 what: "Hurwitz zeta needs a strictly positive second argument".into(),
             });
         }
+        // `a_lo` is a rounded-down lower bound on `a`, so the shift derived
+        // from it is never short of the target.
+        let shift = TARGET.saturating_sub(a_lo.to_f64().floor().max(0.0) as usize);

Then replace the two SHIFT uses with shift (the big construction and the head loop bound), and keep the bernoulli_over_factorial cap check in mind: MAX_TERMS is unchanged, so the Bernoulli table bound still holds.

The remainder bound is unchanged in form, because it is computed from the actual A rather than from a fixed shift.

Gate the wall-clock assertions behind @pytest.mark.slow.

This test times three routes over 237 primes, one of which is a Θ(p²) big-integer loop, and then asserts fixed ratios. Wall-clock ratios on a shared CI runner are not stable, so the two assertions at lines 315-316 can fail without any regression in the kernel. The docstring already concedes the machines are noisy.

The default suite excludes slow-marked tests, so marking this one keeps the measurement available without putting a timing race on every run. Keep assert modular == by_recurrence == by_sum, which is the correctness claim and is deterministic.

As per coding guidelines: "Run pytest tests/ for Python test suite (default excludes @pytest.mark.slow)".

Scale the widening loop with work, or the upper bound can fail to certify at high precision.

unit starts at (|w|+1)·2^(4−work), so after n doublings delta is (|w|+1)·2^(n+4−work). Reaching an O(|w|+1) step therefore needs about work − 4 doublings. With prec = 512 that is 572, above the fixed 400.

The lower search tolerates this because it falls back to −1. The upper search has no fallback: it returns None, and lambert_w0 then refuses an argument that is inside the domain.

The exhausting case is reachable. Near x = −1/e the Newton loop breaks early on den == 0 (den = (1+w)eʷ → 0), so the guess can be far from W₀(x) and the search must widen by many orders of magnitude.

🛠️ Proposed fix: derive the iteration count from the working precision

Distinguish a failed extrapolation from a sequence that does not follow the dominant root.

fit_connection_constant returns None for several different reasons: a zero term or a sign change at a fit index (ratios_at), a log spread above LOG_SPREAD_TOL, or a singular extrapolation matrix (extrapolate). The match arm at Line 660 maps all of them to follows_dominant_root = Some(false) and to a derivation line that states the dominant component is zero. Only the log-spread and sign cases support that statement. A numerical failure of the 3-point solve would then be reported as a mathematical fact about the sequence.

This is the same conflation the comment at Lines 621-625 guards against for the extension path. Consider returning a small reason enum from fit_connection_constant and mapping only the ratio-divergence reason to Some(false).

Guard the f64 conversion of the characteristic coefficients.

Rational::to_f64 saturates to ±inf when the coefficient exceeds the f64 range. Recurrence coefficients are arbitrary-precision rationals, so a coefficient above about 1e308 produces inf entries in as_f64. complex_roots then returns roots whose re, im, and modulus can be NaN. The sort at Line 1001 falls back to Ordering::Equal for NaN, the check roots[0].modulus <= 0.0 at Line 522 is false for NaN, and the pipeline continues to a NaN growth rate instead of refusing.

Reject non-finite conversions, or normalize each squarefree factor by its largest coefficient before converting.

The size cap bounds one term, not the whole extension.

MAX_TERM_BITS is 1 << 22 bits, about 512 KB per term, and the loop retains every term up to index needed (1024 offsets beyond base). A recurrence whose terms sit just below the cap therefore holds roughly 1025 × 512 KB, near 500 MB of numerators plus the same again for denominators. The doc comment at Lines 160-162 states the cap stops a pathological recurrence from running the process out of memory, so the claim and the behaviour differ.

Track a running total of retained bits and stop the extension when it exceeds a fixed budget, or lower MAX_TERM_BITS to a value whose product with the extension length is acceptable.

PyO3 0.21 FromPyObject tuple extraction str sequence implementation

💡 Result:

In PyO3 0.21, extracting sequences of strings—such as Vec<&str>—is not supported directly because of lifetime constraints [1][2]. The FromPyObject trait requires types to either own their data or have a lifetime bound to the input object; however, extracting a collection of borrowed strings is complex because it involves creating multiple short-lived references from the Python object that cannot be easily expressed in a single Rust type [1]. For extracting sequences of strings, the recommended approaches are: 1. Extract as a Vec: This is the simplest and most common solution, as String owns its data and avoids lifetime issues [1][2]. 2. Use PyBackedStr: The PyBackedStr type stores a reference to a Python string without a lifetime attachment. You can extract a sequence as Vec [1][2]. 3. Extract as Bound<'py, PyString>: If you need to keep the data as bound Python objects, you can extract a sequence as Vec<Bound<'_, PyString>> [2]. Regarding tuple extraction, PyO3 0.21 supports extracting Python tuples into Rust tuple structures using the #[derive(FromPyObject)] macro [3][4]. The derive macro assumes the Python input is a tuple of the same length and extracts each field sequentially [3][4]. For manual extraction, you can downcast the object to a PyTuple and access elements by index using get_item, then extract each item individually [5]. Note that PyO3 0.21 introduced significant changes to the FromPyObject trait, including the use of Borrowed and Bound types to better manage Python object lifetimes [1][6][7]. If you are migrating from older versions, ensure you use the new Bound API for extraction [1].

site:docs.rs/pyo3/0.21.2/src/pyo3/conversions/ std tuple FromPyObject extract sequence tuple

💡 Result:

In PyO3 0.21.2, fixed-size Rust tuple extraction is implemented in:

src/types/tuple.rs, inside the tuple_conversion! macro.

Key behavior:

impl<'py, T0, T1> FromPyObject<'py> for (T0, T1)
where
    T0: FromPyObject<'py>,
    T1: FromPyObject<'py>,
{
    fn extract_bound(obj: &Bound<'py, PyAny>) -> PyResult<Self> {
        let t = obj.downcast::<PyTuple>()?;

        if t.len() == 2 {
            Ok((
                t.get_borrowed_item(0)?.extract::<T0>()?,
                t.get_borrowed_item(1)?.extract::<T1>()?,
            ))
        } else {
            Err(wrong_tuple_length(t, 2))
        }
    }
}

Thus, (T0, T1) requires an actual Python tuple of exactly length 2; it does not extract arbitrary sequences. Length mismatch produces PyValueError. (docs.rs)

For arbitrary Python sequences, use Vec<T> extraction, implemented via extract_sequence. (docs.rs)

Reject string sequence terms.

The tuple extraction accepts only actual Python tuples, so a string does not become a numerator/denominator pair. However, big_integer_from_py parses a string's text, so terms=["12"] is accepted as the integer 12, although terms must be Python integers or rational pairs. Mirror the existing PyString/PyBytes guard before tuple extraction.

evaluate returns residues in sorted order but documents the values_mod contract.

values_mod keeps the back-map from sorted_unique_with_index and returns residues in the caller's order. evaluate discards the back-map and hands back ModularEvaluation directly, so its residues() follow sorted, de-duplicated order. PyModularEvaluation exposes no index list, so the caller cannot recover the mapping.

The docstring says "Like :meth:values_mod", and values_mod promises "the residues come back in the order they were asked for". A caller that reads evaluate([13, 5], 13, 3).residues() positionally gets [S(5), S(13)] with no signal. The core type documents this exact hazard at alkahest-core/src/holonomic/modular.rs lines 458-462.

Expose the evaluated indices and state the ordering.

The A(199) at p = 5 figures are wrong in two places. Reaching A(199) takes steps n = 0 … 197, so (n+2) runs over 2 … 199, which contains 39 multiples of 5, and the total loss is 3·v_5(199!) = 3·(39+7+1) = 141 digits. The cost per crossing is not uniform: it is six digits at 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 175, and nine digits at 125. docs/mdbook/src/supercongruences.md and the kernel's own refusal message already report 39 steps, 141 digits and a working modulus of 5^142.

Keep q-holonomic error metadata consistent across the public documentation and registry. First, the documented code range omits E-HOLO-020 through E-HOLO-024, so q-Zeilberger refusals are not mapped in the exception documentation. Second, those same codes are registered with class: "HolonomicError" even though they implement QHolonomicError.

Module-level importorskip skips the whole file, including the tests written for the no-mpmath tier.

pytest.importorskip raises Skipped during collection. At module scope it skips every test in the file, so with mpmath absent the Decimal tests, the domain-refusal tests and the verified_sign / verified_no_roots / verified_integral tests do not run. The module docstring states the Decimal table exists so "a regression is catchable in the CI tier that has no mpmath", so this defeats the stated design.

Gate only the sweeps:

+_needs_mpmath = pytest.mark.skipif(mpmath is None, reason="mpmath is not installed")

Then add @_needs_mpmath to test_dense_samples_stay_inside_the_enclosure and test_randomised_box_sweep.

As per path instructions, pytest tests/ is the Python suite entry point, so this skip applies to the whole default run on that tier.

`cargo semver-checks` failed: `enum_variant_added` on an exhaustive
public enum. M6 added ModulusUnsupported, PAdicallyUndetermined and
WorkLimitExceeded to `HolonomicError`, which has no `#[non_exhaustive]`,
so a downstream `match` without a wildcard stops compiling — a major
break, and this release is 3.9.0.

The q-Zeilberger work in this same PR had already solved the identical
problem the right way: a separate `QHolonomicError`. Modular evaluation
now follows that precedent with `modular::ModularError`, carrying the
same three variants plus an `InvalidInput` forwarded from
`HolonomicError` so the modular entry points have one error type.
`HolonomicError` is back to its original four variants.

Marking the enum `#[non_exhaustive]` instead would also have been a
major break, so it was not an option at 3.9.0.

**The Python surface is deliberately unchanged**: `ModularError` raises
the same `HolonomicError` class with the same E-HOLO-006/007/008 codes,
via a `holonomic_modular_error_to_py` sibling converter (named around the
existing `modular_error_to_py`, which belongs to the unrelated
`alkahest.modular` CRT module). Verified: a composite modulus still
raises HolonomicError with code E-HOLO-006. Docs, `exceptions.py` and the
error registry needed no change.

Tier 1a failed on `assert t_modular * 2 < t_recurrence` at 1.8x. The
correctness assertion in the same test — modular == exact recurrence ==
exact binomial sum — passed; only the ratio did.

Against the exact *recurrence* the margin is inherently narrow: both
routes take the same number of steps and differ only in machine-word
versus bignum arithmetic, so the ratio tracks machine speed rather than
anything about the code. Against the exact *binomial sum* — which is what
the research harness actually does, and the claim the feature is for —
the margin is 13.6x on the runner and 36-185x locally, so the 5x gate
there is kept and is the one that would catch a regression.

Third wall-clock assertion this cycle to fail for the machine rather than
the code, after test_budget.py and the Franel timing bound. A ratio
between two implementations of the same algorithm is the least robust
form; a ratio against a different algorithm has real headroom.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`diff_impl` built `PrimitiveRegistry::default_registry()` *inside* the
recursive walk, so every `Func` node reconstructed all 41 primitives —
and `default_registry` additionally probes each one's capability bundle,
work this path never reads: it only calls `diff_forward` and treats
`None` as an unknown function.

Now a `OnceLock` built with `dispatch_registry`, the same pattern
`ball::registry` uses since PR #302. CodSpeed reported a ~14% regression
on `test_series_sin_order12` (which differentiates) after `gamma` gained
a ball kernel and made that probe more expensive; this removes the probe
and the per-node construction from the path either way.

Honest caveat: I could not reproduce the regression reliably on this
box — medians ranged 0.234-0.313 ms on both sides, so the local signal
is inside run-to-run variance. This change stands on its own merits
rather than on a measured fix.

Do not classify unrelated errors as InvalidInput.

Line 128 maps NotProperHypergeometric, SearchExhausted, and CertificateVerificationFailed to E-HOLO-004. This changes the error code and remediation for direct ModularError::from calls or implicit ? conversions.

Remove this lossy From implementation. If a call site must translate an error, map it to a semantically correct modular error at that call site. Also change the line 102 link to HolonomicError::InvalidInput.

Provide remediation for modular input errors.

ModularError::InvalidInput reports malformed recurrences, invalid initial values, and invalid target lists. The current remediation instead describes q-Zeilberger symbols and bounds. Replace it with actions that apply to modular recurrence inputs.

Found the mechanism behind CodSpeed's ~14% regression on
`test_series_sin_order12`, which I could not reproduce from wall-clock
alone: `PrimitiveRegistry::default_registry()` construction went from
~400us on main to ~767us on this branch. `probe_caps` calls each
primitive's `numeric_ball` at *registration*, and once `gamma`,
`bessel_j0/j1` and `lambert_w` had real kernels those probes became
arbitrary-precision MPFR evaluations rather than cheap Option checks.
`default_registry()` is reached from `diff` and `series`.

`NUMERIC_BALL` is now resolved when the bit is read, memoised per
primitive, exactly as `TAYLOR_MODEL` has been since PR #302. Registry
construction is 211us — half of main's, because the ball probe is off
the registration path entirely rather than merely cheaper. The series
benchmark's first call goes 4.07ms -> 1.19ms against main's 3.90ms;
steady state is unchanged.

Capabilities are identical: 23 taylor_model, 25 numeric_ball, ball-only
{floor, ceil}. Same probe points as before, so `atanh` keeps the bit its
(-1, 1) domain would cost it at the 1.0 probe.

Third regression from this one mechanism. Both expensive capability bits
are now lazy, which should close the class rather than the instance.
