A nonzero polynomial of degree at most 2*d^3 detects all plane sections that lose the full degree or fail geometric irreducibility.
The universal plane restriction of f has total degree at most the total degree of f in the
two plane coordinates.
Every specialization of the plane parameters of the universal plane restriction of f has
total degree at most the total degree of f.
The bad-plane witness: the universal outer leading coefficient of the plane restriction of
f times the closed-form minor with rows rows and columns cols. The leading-coefficient
factor detects all outer-degree drops.

Nonvanishing certifies full degree and irreducibility over ANY target field of characteristic zero or greater than d. In particular it applies in the algebraic closure when detecting geometrically bad finite-field planes.
A concrete cubic-degree bad-section witness over the original field.
A nonzero integer polynomial in the full parameter space, constructed for every geometrically irreducible integer equation.
