Final sign-invariant CAD lifting by McCallum projection #
Lift an analytic CAD adapted to the ambient orders of a McCallum projection to a sign-invariant CAD for the original family. The projection of the new CAD is exactly the supplied base CAD, and every lifted cell is an analytic submanifold. Basis members nullified on a base cell are omitted from its root stack and have sign zero throughout its cylinder.
Unlike an intermediate order-invariant lift, this final sign-invariant lift needs no
well-orientedness assumption at the top level. The lower CAD must still be order-invariant
for the projection; mere sign-invariance of that projection does not suffice
(TauCeti.exists_signInvariant_mcCallumProjection_stackCells_not_signInvariant).

Final sign-invariant CAD lifting. An analytic base CAD that is order-invariant for McCallum's projection of a squarefree basis lifts to a sign-invariant CAD for the original family, with analytic cells and exactly the given base projections. Nullified basis members are allowed at this final level, including over positive-dimensional cells.
