Original question and givens
Use original low-to-high coefficients=[17, 34, 51, 68] for f(t)=sum coefficients[k]*t^k and derivative order=1≥0. f^(0)=f and each further order differentiates the preceding function. The declared degree bound is coefficient-list length minus1; trailing zeros would make it an upper bound rather than a minimal degree. Give (declared_degree_bound, order, nonnegative_order, order_convention, polynomial_chain_certificate).

S001 · implies
Before
source operation=higher-order-qualification;original snapshot and mathematics retained
After
explicit ordered source output fields=[declared_degree_bound, order, nonnegative_order, order_convention, polynomial_chain_certificate]
Conditions: none
Retain the historical interface marker while listing source fields without JavaScript.Tags and No retain their claim scope;source-protocol ordering is not a mathematical proof.

Before
ORIGINAL low-to-high coefficients=[17, 34, 51, 68];declared order=1
After
declared degree BOUND=3=ORIGINAL length-1;initialize derivative order0 with the UNTRIMMED original list
Conditions: none
Length minus1 is the declared bound;do not trim trailing zeros.Order0 is the original function.The monomial rule and finite sums justify each polynomial derivative,not an infinite extrapolation for arbitrary functions.

S006 · implies
Before
previous derivative order=0;actual low-to-high list=[17, 34, 51, 68];drop ONLY its constant term
After
ALL [old_power,old_coefficient,multiplier,new_coefficient] rows=[[1, 34, 1, 34], [2, 51, 2, 102], [3, 68, 3, 204]];next raw list=[34, 102, 204];all intermediate products SAFE
Conditions: none
At each level multiply the original coefficient by its old power k and place it at k−1 in low-to-high order.Once exhausted,the raw list stays empty and is normalized to[0] only at the end.The English source requires every intermediate product SAFE,not merely the final value.

S007 · implies
Before
ORIGINAL coefficients=[17, 34, 51, 68];order=1;declared degree bound=3
After
final derivative coefficients=[34, 102, 204];for each original power k>=order multiplier=k*(k-1)*...*(k-order+1);lower powers vanish
Conditions: none
Repeated differentiation gives the falling factorial in original coefficient order;orders above the declared bound vanish.This gives no analyticity claim for arbitrary differentiable functions and does not turn a trailing-zero bound into the minimal degree.
