An ordinary-extension specialization of the degree-index argument #
Suppose a zeta series has the indexed denominator
(1 - T^d) (1 - q^d T^d).
After extending the constants by degree d, the formal identity is
Z_extended(T^d) = Z(T)^d.
If the extended zeta series has the ordinary denominator over the enlarged constant field, clearing denominators gives
P_extended(T^d) D(T)^(d - 1) = P(T)^d.
For d > 1, evaluation at T = 1 forces P(1) = 0. Thus the single,
explicit noncancellation hypothesis P(1) ≠ 0 forces d = 1. This file
contains only that formal algebra. Its ordinary-rationality premise for the
extended zeta series is deliberately stronger than indexed rationality and is
not used to close the geometric F. K. Schmidt argument. The noncircular
indexed-to-indexed theorem is in FormalZetaDegreeIndexOneIndexed.

The formal constant-extension identity
Z_extended(T^d) = Z(T)^d.
This is kept as an explicit proposition because proving it for the geometric closed-place zeta series is a separate part of the constant-extension argument.

Substituting T^d into a polynomial power series agrees with polynomial
composition by T^d.
Substituting T^d into the ordinary denominator over the degree-d
constant extension produces the indexed denominator over the original
constant field.
Clearing the base and constant-extension denominators leaves exactly
d - 1 copies of the indexed denominator.
No noncancellation hypothesis is used here.
If d > 1, the cleared identity forces the original indexed numerator
to vanish at T = 1. This is the formal pole-order mismatch.
Pure polynomial form of the F. K. Schmidt conclusion: numerator
noncancellation at T = 1 rules out every positive index greater than one.
Conditional ordinary-extension specialization of the degree-index theorem.
This algebraic implication is retained as a convenience lemma. The geometric
development does not use its strong ordinary-rationality premise for the
degree-d constant extension; it uses the indexed-to-indexed replacement
instead.
