Valuation estimates for the integral model of a Weierstrass curve #

This file specializes the formal-group evaluation layer to O = 𝒪_v (the valuation ring of an adic completion) and collects the technical estimates on which the geometric results rest: the valuation-integrality bookkeeping for the coordinates and coefficients of an integral model, the parameter-level vanishing of torsion in the kernel of reduction (points_eq_zero_of_nsmul_*, via the scaled formal logarithm), and the compactness and finite-quotient facts used downstream for the finite-index statements.

An affine point outside the kernel of reduction has integral coordinates: the only poles on a Weierstrass curve with integral coefficients have even order at x.
