Let P be given by finitely many real linear inequalities a_i(z)<=b_i and let G be linear. A feasible anchor x is tight exactly on a selected finite row set J. For every selected row, suppose nonnegative original-row coefficients and an image linear functional give the exact primal-dual identities certifying maximum slack zero on the fibre Gz=Gx. Then construct an image linear functional exposing exactly G(H), where H is the original equality face on J. This is an actual extreme subset and the smallest extreme subset of GP containing Gx. For every image submodule W, every difference Gz-Gx for z in H lies in W exactly when G sends every vector in the selected-row kernel into W. The exposing objective, minimality and all-submodule direction equivalence are conclusions. No image exposer, compactness, bounded preimage, source vertex or source edge is assumed. The finite strict anchor and exact dual identities are checkable data; discovery of these witnesses and the generic image-edge algorithm are separate executable/mathematical components, not silently Lean-extracted. No bound on the number of image edges or general Polynomial Hirsch conclusion is asserted.

Source
Classical finite polyhedral duality and minimal-face geometry, proved directly from original-row identities and finite strict slacks. The support-extreme helper reuses accepted PR #246 with bound-variable/namespace renaming. The actual minimum finite radius uses the same method as accepted #245. This continuation constructs the image exposing normal by summing fibre-row duals, proves minimality by feasible backward perturbations, and binds the full face direction tests to the selected-row kernel. No historical novelty or strongly polynomial runtime claim.
