{ "target_id": "lemma min dist graph", "proof_status": "needs_context", "summary": "No defect was found in the local inference. The packet does not define $X_f$, so the argument holds on two conditions. First, the vertices of $X_f$ lie in $V_{-2}(L)$ and an edge joins $u,w$ only when $(u,w)=-3$ (even $f$) or $(u,w)=-4$ (odd $f$). Second, $R_4(L)$ is generated by reflections in 4-roots. Under these conditions the argument is complete. The product telescopes because each $r_{w_i}$ is an involution. Lemma basic rewrites each factor. The new vectors are 2-roots (resp. 4-roots), so each factor lies in $R_2(L)$ (resp. $R_4(L)$). Normality makes the quotient a group. Connectivity puts every $r_u$ with $u\\in S$ in one coset of an involution, so the image has order at most 2. Lemma basic's printed hypotheses are inconsistent for case (ii), so I re-derived its identities directly. I also checked the implicit primitivity and root conditions. The signature, isotropy and dimension hypotheses are not used. No external result is imported, so the 2013-08-11 cutoff imposes no constraint.

Work on the plane spanned by $u,w$: its Gram determinants are $-5$ and $-12$, so it is nondegenerate, and all four reflections are trivial on its orthogonal complement.
