Changes of complementary normal coordinates #
In tangent charts, the normal fibre of an immersion is the quotient of the ambient model by the range of its coordinate differential. A complementary parametrization identifies that quotient with a fixed vector space. Changing the ambient chart and the complement gives the operator obtained by inserting the ambient tangent transition between the complementary representative and the new quotient-coordinate operator.
These transitions are invertible on chart overlaps and inherit the differentiability
of the differential, losing one derivative from the original map. Together with
ContinuousLinearMap.quotientRangeCoordinate_comp_cocycle, these are the compatibility
conditions for assembling the smooth normal-bundle atlas. They require neither a metric
nor finite-dimensionality; all choices of charts and complementary parametrizations
are explicit.
Reuse Mathlib's smooth tangent-bundle transitions, the fixed-chart differential
regularity theorem, and ContinuousLinearMap.quotientRangeCoordinate.

Valid complementary coordinates for the differential are related by an invertible operator when both source and target tangent charts contain the evaluation points. The complementary parameter spaces need only be topological modules.
Changes between fixed complementary normal coordinates are C^m on an open overlap
for a C^n map with m + 1 โค n. Smooth and analytic orders are included. Only the new
complement must be valid to establish regularity of the operator formula.
