163- Independently of the positive-map Jensen step, one input is still missing from

171- already in the library through the Bendat--Sherman / Hansen--Pedersen
172- characterization: for a continuous $ f$ on $ [0 ,\infty )$ with $ f(0 )\le 0 $ , $ f$ is
173- operator convex if and only if $ x\mapsto f(x)/x$ is operator monotone. Applied
174- to $ f(x)=x^p$ with $ f(0 )=0 $ , this gives the required statement on
175- $ [0 ,\infty )$ : for each exponent $ p\in [1 ,2 ]$ , the function $ x\mapsto x^p$ is
176- operator convex once $ x\mapsto x^{p-1}$ is operator monotone. The latter is
177- exactly \leanid {CFC.monotone_rpow} with exponent $ p-1 \in [0 ,1 ]$ . The bridge
178- therefore runs through operator
179- \emph {monotonicity }, not operator concavity: the naive identity
180- $ x^p = x\cdot x^{p-1}$ does \emph {not } establish operator convexity, since
181- operator convexity is not preserved under multiplication by $ x$ . This is the
182- smallest reusable increment toward the convex power case.

157+ The auxiliary ingredients needed before the final positive-map Jensen assembly
158+ are now present. The theorem \leanid {CFC.convexOn_rpow} supplies operator
159+ convexity of $ x\mapsto x^p$ for $ p\in [1 ,2 ]$ , completing the scalar

162+ The closedness of the finite-dimensional Loewner cone also gives the ordered
163+ Bochner integral step needed for the integral route. The positive-cone
164+ specialization is recorded as
165+ \leanid {TNLean.OperatorJensen.integral_nonneg_matrix_of_ae}: a matrix-valued
