Hilbert–Schmidt operators
Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/{HilbertSchmidt,HSAlgebra,HSEstimate}.lean` and the Cauchy–Schwarz estimates of `TraceClass/TraceProduct.lean`, restated against this repo's `H →L[ℂ] H` (the source's `B(H)`) with no bundled subtype involved — the source's own top-level `TraceClass.lean` already used the identical predicate-based `IsTraceClass`/`traceNorm`/`trace` this repo's `Basic.lean` does, so no translation of the underlying convention was needed, only the notation change and reuse of `Basic.lean`'s own (now-public) `hasSum_norm_sq_inner_basis` in place of the source's private per-file copy of the same lemma.
A bounded operator `S` is **Hilbert–Schmidt** when `∑ᵢ ‖S eᵢ‖²` converges for some (equivalently, by the basis-independence theorem below, every) Hilbert basis `{eᵢ}`. This is the reusable analytic layer between plain boundedness and trace-classness: `S⋆S` is trace class whenever `S` is Hilbert–Schmidt, a bounded contraction on either side preserves the predicate, and a product of two Hilbert–Schmidt operators has an absolutely summable diagonal in every basis (the Cauchy–Schwarz step consumed by the polar-decomposition argument in `GeneralProduct.lean`).
