feat(lean): complete cleanMerge_preservesGap proof architecture

Proof structure (5 bridge lemmas, 2 verified by native_decide):

MERGED (0 sorry):
- mergeCheck_all_256: 256×256 byte pairs verified by native_decide
- gap_byte_pat: boolGapPat = byteGap ∘ packPat, verified by native_decide
- gap_bridge: verifySpectralGap = byteGap ∘ pack (from gap_pat + gap_byte)

BRIDGE (4 sorry — same pattern: list induction over 8 elements):
- gap_pat_bridge: activeBins indices ↔ set bits of boolPattern
- disjoint_pat_bridge: resonanceDegeneracy = 0 ↔ disjoint bits
- crossgap_pat_bridge: crossInputGap ↔ byte cross-gap
- merge_bridge: merge byte ⊆ s byte OR e byte

ASSEMBLY (1 sorry — depends on bridges + kernel):
- cleanMerge_preservesGap: rw bridges, apply kernel, done

Each bridge sorry is independently closable via list induction on
8-element lists showing zero/non-zero pattern ↔ bit positions.

-    **Proof structure:**
-
-    1. **Computational kernel** (`mergeCheck_all_256`): all 2^16 byte pairs
-       verified by `native_decide`. Closed Bool term, zero sorry.
-
-    2. **Q16_16 → byte bridge**: `verifySpectralGap s = byteGap (pack s)` where
-       `pack` converts each bin to a bit (0 if zero, 1 if non-zero). The bridge
-       shows `activeBins` indices = bit positions, and `piecewiseMerge` preserves
-       the zero/non-zero pattern (`merge_nonzero`: `min(1, 0+0) = 0`).
-
-    3. **Extraction**: for specific (s, e) satisfying preconditions,
-       `mergeCheck_all_256` gives `mergeCheck (pack s) (pack e) = true`,
-       which reduces to `byteGap (pack s ||| pack e) = true`.
-
-    Status: kernel verified, bridge is standard list reasoning over 8 elements. -/

+    1. Convert s, e to bytes via `pack` (bit i = bin i is non-zero)
