Exterior powers as comodules #
The homogeneous exterior powers of a right comodule over a commutative bialgebra are comodules in their own right. The grading splits their inclusions into the exterior algebra, so no flatness assumption on the bialgebra is needed. Mathlib's finite-generation instance makes these finite comodules whenever the original module is finite.
The inclusion and maps induced by comodule morphisms are equivariant. The wedge formula for the point action describes this finite representation inside the scalar extension of the exterior algebra. It is the homogeneous representation used to replace a subspace stabilizer by the stabilizer of its top exterior line.

The construction uses Mathlib's DirectSum.subtype_rTensor_injective and
LinearMap.codRestrictOfInjective, as does the flat-subcomodule construction in
TauCeti.Algebra.Coalgebra.Subcomodule.Induced; the exterior grading replaces flatness here.
The coaction on the nth exterior power, obtained by restricting the multiplicative
coaction on the exterior algebra to its homogeneous degree n.

In the scalar-extended exterior algebra, a point acts on a pure wedge by acting on each generator and multiplying. This describes the point action on the finite-degree comodule, including degree zero and nonreduced value algebras.
