  "summary": "The proof has two steps: (a) the telescoping identity $r_{w_1}r_{w_m}=\\prod_i r_{w_i}r_{w_{i+1}}$, valid because each $r_{w_i}$ is an involution; (b) rewriting each factor via Lemma basic as a product of two reflections in vectors of norm 2 ($f$ even) or norm 4 ($f$ odd), which lie in $R_2(L)$ resp. $R_4(L)$. Conditional on Lemma basic (a premise, whose elementary arithmetic I checked directly) and on $X_f$ being the graph on $V_{-2}(L)$ whose edges join $u,w$ with $(u,w)=-3$ when $f$ is even and $(u,w)=-4$ when $f$ is odd, the inference is valid. The unwritten final step is elementary and I completed it: for $u,u'$ in one component, $r_ur_{u'}\\in R_k(L)$ with $R_k(L)$ normal, so all $r_u$ ($u\\in S$) share one coset $\\bar r$, $\\bar r^2=1$, and the image of $\\langle r_u\\mid u\\in S\\rangle$ is $\\{1,\\bar r\\}$. I also verified that norm-2 vectors (resp. norm-4 vectors when $f/2$ is integral) are automatically primitive $k$-roots, so the reflections are integral and generate the asserted subgroups. The packet omits the definition of $X_f$ and of $R_4(L)$; confirming the adjacency rule of $X_f$ matches Lemma basic's hypotheses is the sole remaining obligation (a mapping limitation, not a manuscript defect). No external results are imported in this step, so the 2013-08-11 cutoff is not engaged. Minor: the statement of Lemma basic has an inconsistent outer hypothesis.",

They are 4-roots: $v/2\\in L^*$ because $f(x,y)/2$ is integral for all $x,y\\in L$ in the odd case; primitivity holds since $v=dx$, $d\\ge2$ forces $d=2$, $(x,x)=1$, excluded because $(x,x)\\in2\\mathbb Z$.
