Both boundary columns are occupied
Abstract
Finite signed contraction on the actual rectangular height grid.
Theorem 1.1 (A boundary walk has an extremum).
Lean statement: D5/S3/Combinatorics/Geometry/MiuraCoreBoundary.boundary_walk_abstract
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Combinatorics/Geometry/MiuraCoreBoundary.boundary_walk_abstract (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.
Two compatible unit-step integer walks joined by unit horizontal differences have a row with all existing neighbours uniformly higher or uniformly lower.
Theorem 1.2 (The first column is occupied).
Lean statement: D5/S3/Combinatorics/Geometry/MiuraCoreBoundary.firstColumn_active

Commentary.
In a unit-edge height function with nonempty rows and at least two columns, the first physical column contains an ambient strict extremum.
Theorem 1.3 (The last column is occupied).
Lean statement: D5/S3/Combinatorics/Geometry/MiuraCoreBoundary.lastColumn_active

Commentary.
The last physical column also contains an ambient strict extremum, with all existing vertical and horizontal neighbours included.
Theorem 1.4 (Both boundary columns are occupied).
Lean statement: D5/S3/Combinatorics/Geometry/MiuraCoreBoundary.boundary_columns_active
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Combinatorics/Geometry/MiuraCoreBoundary.boundary_columns_active (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.
The first and last physical columns are simultaneously occupied in the same height function.
