Singular homology functor API (specialization layer) #

This file stabilizes a small, formalized local API for Mathlib's singular homology functor, specialized to integer coefficients, so later topological degree work can use it without re-deriving functoriality each time.

It introduces no degree definition and no sphere homology computation; it only repackages the generic CategoryTheory.Functor API (Functor.map_id, Functor.map_comp, congruence) for the integral singular chain / homology functors

defined in HomotopyToChainHomotopy.lean.

Functoriality: the integral singular homology functor preserves identities.

Functoriality: the integral singular homology functor preserves composition.

Congruence: equal TopCat morphisms induce equal maps on integral singular homology.

Functoriality: the integral singular chain complex functor preserves identities.

Functoriality: the integral singular chain complex functor preserves composition.
