Introducing edges in an active characteristic spine #
This file gives the top-edge interface used by the LR-core proof. It exposes
the parent handle and retained production which introduced a displayed active
child, while hiding the auxiliary decomposition witnesses of ActiveSpine.
A concrete retained production is the final edge of an active derivation spine. The indices record both the visible child prehandle and its parent prehandle.

Direct constructor for an introducing edge.
Applying a nonbase rule whose last symbol is child adds an introducing
edge with unchanged terminal suffix.
The introducing-edge witness itself reconstructs the visible child spine.
The semantic top-edge property needed by the nonbase LR-core cases: one visible active child and one symbol of following input determine its parent handle and the production which introduced it.

Once top-edge uniqueness is available, all nonbase handle comparisons reduce uniformly to cancellation of their final characteristic-list marker.
