The marked triple in the next tame Tate branch #

Let an integral short Weierstrass equation have standard cuspidal special fibre, with a₄ ∈ 𝔪² and a₆ ∈ 𝔪² \ 𝔪³. This file proves the pointwise consequence needed by the tame torsion argument: the triple of every local point has canonical nonsingular reduction.

The proof is entirely on the selected Weierstrass equation. It follows the tangent and secant formulas, separates slopes with a pole from integral-unit slopes, and handles equal-abscissa and vertical cases in the group law explicitly. It does not name a Kodaira symbol or construct a regular model, strict transform, component group, or component-cardinality bound.

In the exact depth-two a₆ branch, the triple of every local point belongs to canonical nonsingular reduction.

The exact depth-two a₆ branch supplies the exponent twelve used by the arithmetic specializations: it is four times the checked triple.
