Lemma 3.1

Persistent-stack update

Lemma 3.1 (Persistent-stack update). Suppose the old scaffold is strictly backward and satisfies CleanEmpty\mathsf{CleanEmpty}. After appending the node specified by the table, the decoded stack at v+v^+ is exactly the result of the selected stack operation. The new scaffold is strictly backward and again satisfies CleanEmpty\mathsf{CleanEmpty}.
