Categorical indecomposability from a local endomorphism ring #
In a preadditive category with binary biproducts, a local endomorphism ring
forces categorical indecomposability. This is a bounded adaptation of the
generic lemma in the donor's

Categorical indecomposability is invariant under isomorphism.
Passing to the opposite category preserves and reflects categorical indecomposability.
A fully faithful additive functor reflects indecomposability from the image of an object.
An additive equivalence preserves and reflects indecomposability.
A nontrivial local endomorphism ring rules out a nontrivial binary biproduct decomposition.
Localness transports across a ring equivalence without a commutativity hypothesis.
