  LonelyRunner.lean — Lonely Runner → Betti-0 Scar Topology

  Formalizes the Lonely Runner Conjecture as a topological scar-persistence
  claim: for k runners on S¹ with speeds {v_i}, the zeroth Betti number
  β₀(M_t) of the uncovered set M_t satisfies β₀(M_t) > 0 for some t.

  Rising-edge predicate: marks the first vertex (in cyclic order) of a new
  connected component of the scarred set on S¹. A vertex is a component-start
  iff that vertex itself is scarred AND its cyclic predecessor is non-scarred
  (a 0→1 transition in cyclic order).

  This is the discretisation of the cyclic rising-edge counting argument used
  in the Lonely Runner sieve approach (arXiv:2511.22427, Lemma 7): each
  connected component of M_t ⊆ S¹ contributes exactly one rising edge,
  except in the all-true boundary case (M_t = S¹, i.e. full coverage failure),
  which has zero rising edges but exactly one component.

  Count connected components (β₀) in a circular Boolean array on S¹.
  A component is a maximal contiguous block of true values, with
  wrap-around from the last element to the first.

  Implementation (resolves the previous `TODO(lean-port)`): uses
  `Finset.filter` with a `DecidablePred` (the rising-edge predicate
  `isRisingEdge`). Each connected component contributes exactly one rising
  edge; the all-true boundary case is handled explicitly (zero rising edges
  but one component, since M_t = S¹ fully uncovered); the all-false case
  (M_t = ∅) contributes zero components.

  Callers `beta0` (on `ScarComplex`) and `scarBeta0` (on the simplicial
  complex) both forward to this definition and now get the correct count,
  superseding the previous placeholder (`0`).

  This is the structural equivalence: the loneliness field is non-zero
  precisely at points that no runner covers.

  The Lonely Runner hypothesis chain aligns with the NK-Hodge-FAMM
  hypothesis chain in NKHodgeFAMM.lean:

  | Lonely Runner | NK-Hodge-FAMM | Status |
  |---|---|--------|
  | Runner speeds {v_i} | Velocity field u | ∂_t θ_i = v_i |
  | δ = 1/(k+1) | FAMM scar threshold | Minimum admissible distance |
  | Coverage density Φ | Photon field Φ | Φ = Σ 𝟙_{B(v_i t, δ)} |
  | Loneliness field μ = 1 - Φ | Scar density μ | μ(t,θ) ∈ {0,1} |
  | Uncovered set M_t | Scar support | supp(μ) = M_t |
  | β₀(M_t) > 0 | β₂ > 0 (enclosed void) | After S¹ → M³ thickening |
  | M_t = ∅ (blowup) | β₀ = 0 (complete coverage) | Forbidden by distinct speeds |

  This module proves the structural equivalence
  `scarSupport_eq_scarRegion` and provides computational witnesses
  for small-k cases.
