Part of #4817 (PIR lane, P2 remainder + P3a).

This PR names the statistical-privacy and bounded-recovery hypotheses that the PIR smooth converse
had written out inline, and removes three pieces of duplicated proof. It is a readability and
infrastructure change: no theorem changes meaning, and there are no new mathematical results.

New module PIR/Statistical.lean

• Scheme.IsStatPrivate P δ: every two indices' queries to each server are δ-close (CloseTo).
• Scheme.IsStatPrivateAt P i₀ δ: each index is compared only with the reference index i₀.
• Scheme.Recovers P ε: run outputs x i with probability at least 1/2 + ε.
• Bridges: IsStatPrivate.isStatPrivateAt, IsPrivate.isStatPrivate_zero, and
  IsCorrect.recovers (ε = 1/2).

Restated statements. In PIR/SmoothConverse.lean, the hypotheses on
toReal_decodeLaw_smoothDecoder_ge, isSmoothDecoder_smoothDecoder(_two), _of_isPrivate,
card_mul_sq_le_card_answer_sub_one_of_statPrivate and _of_isPrivate now use these names. The
defs unfold to exactly the old hypotheses, so each statement is unchanged in meaning. The GKST
decoder theorems keep their original reference-point hypothesis, which is why IsStatPrivateAt
exists: restating them with the pairwise IsStatPrivate would strengthen the hypothesis and so
weaken the theorems. The single-server bound keeps its pairwise hypothesis.

Representative caller. isSmoothDecoder_smoothDecoder_of_isCorrect is now the one-line term
…_of_isPrivate P hpriv i₀ hcorrect.recovers. The two hand-built hclose blocks in the
_of_isPrivate theorems are replaced by hpriv.isStatPrivate_zero.

Deduplication

• BitString.add_single_false_add_add_single_true (new, Foundations/Data/BitString/Single.lean)
  states (t + e_i·0) + (t + e_i·1) = e_i over ι → Bool. It replaces the private
  sum_bool_add_single in PIR/Cube.lean and the hand proofs in query_add_query_twoServer and
  LinearSummation.isCorrect_evenTwoServer.
• In toReal_decodeLaw_smoothDecoder_ge, the failure-probability bound no longer rebuilds total
  variation from an event E with toOuterMeasure and abs_toReal_sub_le. Each term is now the
  positive part (μ q - ν q).toReal, and the bound is closeTo_iff_tsum_tsub_le directly. This
  also drops the PMF.Event and PMF.ToReal imports.

Limitations

• PIR/Block.lean's support decoding (around L309) is an OracleComp.pi bind, not a uniform bind,
  so ProbComp.mem_support_eval_uniform_bind_pure does not apply there; it is unchanged.
• The two isCorrect_iff copies were already deduplicated on main via PMF.map_eq_pure_iff.
• Basic, Block and Collusion (refactor(Crypto/PIR): restrict existence statements to Fin n once and share tuple communication bounds (readability P4) #4966) are not touched.

Manuals. The Operator's Manual PIR smooth-converse paragraph in
manual/programs-crypto-and-probability/protocols-and-privacy.md now names the three notions and
the bridges, and says the decoder theorems assume reference-point closeness. The old text said
"pairwise", which was imprecise for those theorems. The Agent Operator's Manual needs no edit:
this changes no workflow, tooling or policy.

Validation (head c1b7c43, on main fb1b81a): targeted lake build --wfail --iofail of the changed modules and
their importers (Block, CoveringCode), the six PIR test modules and CslibFrontierResults.Entries;
lake lint on the five changed modules; mk_all --check; hygiene; the encoding-readability and
projection-chain ratchets; check_changed_files.py --source-only; and the operator-manual check.

The reviewer should still inspect the rendered PIR paragraph in the "Operator's Manual PDFs" run for this branch.

Review: APPROVE at c1b7c43de081b6a9ed1cba22f8782e1c66b01987, from revb-2 (Jetski session 823e1915-b7be-458e-959e-1b7d8141259d). This is agent review, not human approval. Two holds remain before queueing: the rendered-manual check, once the Operator's Manual PDFs run for this head finishes, and the advisory notices from ci-checks. I'll record both here.

The three predicates match the hypotheses they replace exactly. IsStatPrivateAt P i₀ δ is the old ∀ s i, CloseTo (… i) (… i₀) (ofReal δ), IsStatPrivate the old pairwise form, and Recovers the old hrec. So each restated theorem keeps its meaning. Keeping the reference-point form for the GKST decoder theorems is right: restating them with the pairwise hypothesis would weaken them. The single-server bound keeps its pairwise hypothesis. The unchanged test examples in PIRSmoothConverse.lean (L274–297), which still pass the old inline hypotheses, confirm the restated statements apply as before. The @[expose] section is needed: clients apply hpriv s i directly, so the def bodies must unfold across modules.

Other points I checked:

• Proof simplification. Each hterm_eq term is now the ENNReal positive part (μ q - ν q).toReal, so the failure bound follows from closeTo_iff_tsum_tsub_le. That replaces the event E, toOuterMeasure and abs_toReal_sub_le derivation, which is the right reuse of the shared TV characterization. The two hand-built hclose blocks and the isCorrect arithmetic are now isStatPrivate_zero and IsCorrect.recovers.
• Shared identity. BitString.add_single_false_add_add_single_true replaces three copies: Cube's private sum_bool_add_single and the hand proofs in query_add_query_twoServer and isCorrect_evenTwoServer. I grepped for further copies. The remaining BooleanRing.add_self steps in LinearSummation.add_single_mem/mem_support_add are different cancellations, so they don't belong here.
• Placement. The small topic module (Single.lean, importing only Pi.Basic and BooleanRing) is better than adding to BitString/Basic. PIR/Statistical.lean sits above PIR.Basic and is imported only by SmoothConverse.
• Duplicates. There is no existing PIR statistical-privacy notion. SecretSharing's StatisticallyPrivate is about share distributions, a different object. The Is… names match PIR's IsPrivate/IsTPrivate/IsCorrect.
• Mechanical checks. No added line exceeds 100 characters, it merges cleanly with main fb1b81a95, and there are no unresolved threads.

Manuals. The new protocols-and-privacy text names the three notions and their bridges, and now correctly says the decoder theorems assume reference-point closeness. The old "pairwise" was imprecise there. The Agent Operator's Manual needs no edit, since no workflow or tooling changes.

Rendered: I inspected pp. 507–508 of cslib-frontier-operators-manual.pdf from Operator's Manual PDFs run 43383594916: OK. The manifest's source_revision is c1b7c43de, with a clean checkout. The rewritten smooth-converse bullet renders as prose with inline code: the PIR/Statistical.lean link, the three notions and their bridges, then the decoder sentence. It has no raw markdown and nothing past the book's usual line end. Long names break at ./_, as elsewhere. The Agent Operator's Manual needs no edit.

That clears the rendered hold, from revb-2 (Jetski session 823e1915-b7be-458e-959e-1b7d8141259d; agent review). The advisory notices from ci-checks are still to be read before I queue.

Advisory notices for c1b7c43 (ci-checks run 43383594891 green, guide green). From revb-2 (Jetski session 823e1915-b7be-458e-959e-1b7d8141259d); this is agent review, not human approval.

• Repeated proof blocks: none in the 65 proofs examined. Parallel definitions: none among 3. Duplicate statements: none among 14.
• PR-description names:
  • hpriv.isStatPrivate_zero is dot notation for Scheme.IsPrivate.isStatPrivate_zero.
  • LinearSummation.isCorrect_evenTwoServer names the module plus PIR.isCorrect_evenTwoServer.
  • sum_bool_add_single is removed by this PR.
  • CslibFrontierResults.Entries is a module.
  • No action needed.

All holds are clear: my approval (issuecomment-6846645536), the rendered record (issuecomment-6846752463), CLEAN, 0 unresolved threads, no review requests. The head also merges cleanly with main e4f3912 and with the queue simulated in order. Queueing c1b7c43.
