contents Let $D_d(m) = \mathrm{Cay}((\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z})^d, {e_0, \ldots, e_{d-1}})$ denote the directed Cayley graph on the positive coordinate basis, equivalently the Cartesian product of $d$ directed cycles of length $m$. The equal side directed Hamilton decomposition problem asks when the arc set of $D_d(m)$ partitions into $d$ directed Hamilton cycles. We prove that such a decomposition exists for every $d \geq 2$ and every odd $m \geq 3$, settling the equal side directed Hamilton decomposition problem at all odd moduli. The proof combines root flat certificate theorem, a prefix count primitivity criterion, and a modular trade lifting theorem with two closure principles: the Cartesian product and the successor step $b \mapsto 2b+1$. Together these propagate the small base dimensions $d \in {2, 3, 5, 7}$ to all $d \geq 2$. The boundary cases $D_7(3)$ and $D_7(5)$, where the prefix-count family saturates its zero symbol budget, are handled by explicit non prefix zero set root flat certificates whose zero set compiler. An accompanying Lean 4 formalization verifies the main theorem and the finite certificate predicates.
