Verify that $M \otimes^L_{(A,A^+)_\blacksquare} (A,A)_\blacksquare \in D(\text{Cond}(B))$ lies in $D(B,\widetilde{B^+[T]})_{\blacksquare}$
I am struggling with verifying a proof in Scholze's notes on condensed mathematics.
Let $(B,B^+)$ be a discrete Huber pair and let $(A,A^+) = (\mathbb{Z}[T],\mathbb{Z})$ and $(A,A) = (\mathbb{Z}[T],\...
