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.
The valuation of the x-coordinate t/w(t) is v(t)⁻².
