  44/-- **KEY THEOREM**: GR deflection is exactly twice the Newtonian value.
  45    The factor of 2 arises because both temporal AND spatial metric
  46    components contribute equally to photon deflection. -/

  52/-- **DEFLECTION ANGLE THEOREM**:
  53    For a photon passing mass M at impact parameter b:
  54    θ = 4GM/(c²b) (in SI), or equivalently θ = 2r_s/b (natural units).

  56    Derivation: null geodesic u'' + u = (3/2)r_s u² in Schwarzschild.
  57    Zeroth order: u₀ = sinφ/b.
  58    First order correction integrates to total bending 2r_s/b. -/
