Proves the orthonormal double contraction of the actual corrected curvature derivative of a tangent connection on a smooth finite-dimensional real manifold. The Challenge exposes the corrected commutator and the smooth tangent-vector extensions explicitly; the Solution proves the identity for every supplied extension satisfying the stated hypotheses. The derivative symmetries and cyclic Bianchi equations are derived from torsion-freeness and metric compatibility, not assumed as abstract tensor data. No separate Einstein-divergence theorem is selected.
