The chief-dichotomy branch for the Frattini centralizer #

This file proves the formal branch split used in lem:collapse after the Hall--Witt step. For the normal closure D of [K,Ñ], the subgroup D ⊔ S lies between S and P, hence chief-ness gives D ⊔ S = S or D ⊔ S = P.

The = P branch is already enough to force K ∩ C_Y(R) = K by the ⊆-minimality of K, hence [K,R]=1. The other branch, D ≤ S, is the remaining representation-theoretic contradiction branch.

Chief-ness gives the two branches for normalClosure([K,Ñ]) ⊔ S.

If the Hall-commutator closure maps onto the chief factor, then the Frattini centralizer inside K is all of K.
