Extension and contraction away from an ideal contained in a subring #
Let S be a subring of a commutative ring R, and let C be an ideal of R contained
in S. Extension and contraction are inverse for ideals coprime to C, and the inclusion
induces isomorphisms of their quotient rings. In particular, extension preserves primality
on this restricted family. Taking C to be the conductor compares ideals and residue rings
of an order with those of its normalization. That an ideal is coprime to C exactly when its
contraction is coprime to the contraction of C holds more generally in any ring.
The argument generalizes the monogenic conductor calculation in Mathlib's
comap_map_eq_map_adjoin_of_coprime_conductor and quotAdjoinEquivQuotMap to arbitrary
subrings. No integrality or finiteness assumption is needed.

Multiplying an element of an extended ideal by an element of an ideal contained in the subring lands in the image of the original ideal.
Contracting an extended ideal recovers it when it is coprime to the contraction of an ambient ideal contained in the subring.
Every residue class modulo an ideal coprime to an ideal contained in the subring has a representative in the subring.
The quotient-ring equivalence sends the residue class of a subring element to the residue class of the same element in the ambient ring.
Extension preserves and reflects primality for ideals coprime to the contraction of an ambient ideal contained in the subring.
