Evaluation and dual point actions #
For a finite-projective right comodule M over a Hopf algebra, this file relates the point
action on its antipode-twisted dual comodule to the original point action. The canonical
A-valued pairing between A ⊗[R] Module.Dual R M and A ⊗[R] M satisfies
⟨g · ξ, z⟩ = ⟨ξ, g⁻¹ · z⟩.
Equivalently, acting by the same point on both inputs preserves evaluation. On pure tensors,
both sides are the inverse point evaluated at the existing matrix coefficient, multiplied by
the two scalar factors. The basis-free proof uses the characteristic equation for
Comodule.dualCoact; it does not identify the scalar extension of the dual with the full dual
of the scalar extension.
The action-level results hold for a possibly noncommutative Hopf algebra over a commutative semiring.

Pairing a scalar-extended functional with a point acting on a pure tensor evaluates the point at the corresponding matrix coefficient.
On pure tensors, acting on the dual leg and then evaluating gives the inverse point applied to the original matrix coefficient, together with the two scalar factors.
The point action on the antipode-twisted dual comodule is adjoint, under canonical scalar-extended evaluation, to the original point action at the inverse point.
Acting by the same point on a finite-projective comodule and its antipode-twisted dual preserves the canonical scalar-extended evaluation pairing.
