Local coordinate family for the diffeomorphism gauge

shiftMap ξ ε y = y + εξ(y), shiftJac = 1 + ε Dξ, pullCov, pullInv, shiftDom = {y ∈ U, y + εξ(y) ∈ U, det(1 + εDξ) ≠ 0}. A local family of coordinate maps, not an integral flow of ξ and not a global flow.

中文摘要 坐标规范用的局部坐标族 x+εξ(x)(非积分流、非全局流)。

**Diffeomorphism gauge** (`linearized_lie_eq_zero`). Background `(g, gi, F)` with a full
`EinsteinMaxwellCertificate` on an open `U` (4D); `ξ` an **arbitrary** coordinate vector field with
`C^∞` components on `U` (not Killing, not constant, not zero). Then for the coordinate Lie derivatives

  `h = L_ξ g`, `f = L_ξ F`  (`lieCov2`, `(L_ξ T)_{ab} = Σ_c (ξ^c ∂_c T_{ab} + T_{cb} ∂_a ξ^c + T_{ac} ∂_b ξ^c)`)

`LE = 0`, `LJ = 0`, `LH = 0` at every point of `U`. Route: the genuine real family of coordinate changes
`Φ_ε(y) = y + ε ξ(y)` (class B `shiftMap`) with Jacobian `J_ε = 1 + ε Dξ` and inverse `K_ε = J_ε⁻¹`, on the
open set `shiftDom U ξ = {(ε, y) | y ∈ U, Φ_ε y ∈ U, det J_ε(y) ≠ 0}` (it contains `{0} × U`; no uniform
`ε`-interval over `U` is claimed). The pulled-back family `(J_εᵀ g(Φ_ε) J_ε, K_ε gi(Φ_ε) K_εᵀ, J_εᵀ F(Φ_ε) J_ε)`
is jointly `C^∞`, has a true inverse, solves `E = J = H = 0` on `shiftDom` by the covariance laws of
`Covariance.lean` (proved, not assumed), and its genuine tangent at `ε = 0` is `(L_ξ g, L_ξ F)`; the off-shell
bridge then gives the claim.

**Electromagnetic-potential gauge** (`extD_gradCo`, `linEinstein_potential_gauge`, …): for a `C^∞` scalar `χ`
on an open `U`, `d(dχ) = 0` on `U`, so the field variation `f = d(dχ)` changes none of `LE`, `LJ`, `LH`
(for any background and any `(h, f)`); in particular `L(0, d(dχ)) = 0`. -/
