Reason: New lemma: a subsequence of a convergent sequence in a metric space converges to the same limit. The corpus had def:subsequence-2026a and lem:subsequence-index-growth-2026a but never recorded this fact; it is needed for the two-stage extraction in the product of sequentially compact subsets and again in Layer 2.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let (xm)mN(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in XX, and let xXx\in X be such that (xm)mN(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} converges to xx in (X,d)(X,d). Let (nk)kN(n_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} be a strictly increasing sequence in N\mathbb{N}, so that (xnk)kN(x_{n_k})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} is a subsequence of (xm)mN(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}}.

Then (xnk)kN(x_{n_k})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} converges to xx in (X,d)(X,d).
