Elementary affine plane-curve fiber bounds #
For an irreducible plane curve with positive degree in one coordinate, every fiber in that direction is cut out by a nonzero univariate polynomial. This gives the two elementary bounds
#C(K) ≤ #K * degree_y(f) and #C(K) ≤ #K * degree_x(f).
These estimates handle the large-bidegree branch of the final affine Hasse--Weil theorem, where a trivial fiber count is stronger than carrying normalization error terms.
Affine points are the sigma type of their first coordinate and the roots of the corresponding second-coordinate specialization.

Counting the roots in every first-coordinate fiber bounds all affine points by the field cardinality times a second-coordinate degree bound.

Swapping the two affine coordinates identifies the point sets of f and
the coordinate-swapped polynomial.

Coordinate swapping preserves irreducibility.
After swapping, the second-coordinate degree is the original first-coordinate degree.

The external finite-set presentation has the same cardinality as the affine-point subtype used by the normalization development.
