Opposite stable categories #
When relative projectives and injectives coincide, the projective stable category of the opposite exact category is additively equivalent to the opposite projective stable category. In particular this applies to every Frobenius exact category. The comparison sends an opposite object to the opposite of its stable class, and does the same on morphisms.
Projectives in the opposite are injectives in the original category. Equality of projectives
and injectives identifies the two ideals that must be killed. The quotient comparison then
comes from MorphismIdeal.opQuotientFunctor, rather than a second construction of
opposite ideal quotients. Enough projectives or injectives are not needed for this additive
comparison.
This file constructs the equivalence and its compatibility with the quotient functors. It does not assert compatibility with the shifts or distinguished triangles.

If relative projectives and injectives coincide, the projective stable ideal of the opposite exact structure is the opposite projective stable ideal.
The comparison from the stable category of the opposite to the opposite stable category. It is the lift of the opposite quotient functor.

The opposite stable comparison has the expected object formula.
The opposite stable comparison sends the class of a map to the opposite class of its unopposite. The transports identify the objects using the object formula.
The comparison commutes with taking stable classes and opposites.
When relative projectives and injectives coincide, the projective stable category of the
opposite is additively equivalent to the opposite projective stable category. No choice of
suspension presentations enters this comparison. For a Frobenius structure, take
hPI := hE.projective_iff_injective.

The forward direction of the opposite stable equivalence is the comparison functor.
The inverse comparison carries the opposite stable class of an object back to the stable class of its opposite, naturally in objects of the original opposite category.
