docs: add proof completion plan and status clarification
Proof completion strategy: - 6-week timeline (27 Admitted → 0) - Phased approach: Easy (5) → Medium (15) → Hard (7) - ECHIDNA assistance + manual refinement - Helper lemmas needed Current status: - Infrastructure complete (licenses, docs, tools) ✅ - Proof work started (1/27 attempted) 🟡 - Realistic timeline documented Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## ✅ Tasks COMPLETED (Today)
4+
5+
### 1. License Standardization ✅ DONE
6+
- **Time**: ~30 minutes
7+
- **Result**: Both repos (absolute-zero + echidna) use PMPL-1.0-or-later
8+
- **Commits**: 2 (absolute-zero: cbeb34a, echidna: 482892e)
9+
- **Files**: 79 files updated
10+
11+
### 2. Roadmap Update ✅ DONE
12+
- **Time**: ~45 minutes
13+
- **Result**: 7-year roadmap with architectural clarity
14+
- **Documents**: 5 comprehensive docs (~3000 lines)
15+
- **Commit**: ca5979b
16+
17+
### 3. ECHIDNA Integration ✅ DONE
18+
- **Time**: ~30 minutes
19+
- **Result**: Scripts, justfile recipes, ready to use
20+
- **Status**: Can now run `just echidna-list`, `just echidna-suggest`, etc.
21+
- **Commit**: c181523

## ⏳ Tasks IN PROGRESS (Now)
26+
27+
### 4. Proof Completion 🟡 STARTED
28+
- **Status**: Attempted 1 proof (StatMech.v:cno_logically_reversible)
29+
- **Discovery**: Proofs are more complex than initially estimated
30+
- **Insight**: Need systematic approach with ECHIDNA + manual refinement
31+
- **Plan**: Created PROOF-COMPLETION-PLAN.adoc (6-week strategy)
32+
33+
**What I learned**:
34+
- These are research-level proofs, not simple exercises
35+
- Need helper lemmas (state equality with eval relation)
36+
- Requires careful proof engineering
37+
38+

39+
40+
## Timeline Reality Check
41+
42+
### What's Done (2 hours)
43+
- ✅ Infrastructure setup (licenses, docs, integration)
44+
- ✅ Ready to work on proofs
45+
- 🟡 Started proof work, understand complexity
46+
47+
### What Remains (6 weeks estimated)
48+
- 🎯 Complete 27 Admitted proofs
49+
- Week 1: Classify + 5 easy proofs
50+
- Week 2-3: 15 medium proofs + helper lemmas
51+
- Week 4-5: 7 hard proofs
52+
- Week 6: Verification + container
53+
54+

55+
56+
## Honest Assessment
57+
58+
**Completed quickly** (today):
59+
- License fixes
60+
- Documentation
61+
- Tool integration
62+
- Planning
63+
64+
**Will take time** (weeks):
65+
- Actual proof completion
66+
- Writing helper lemmas
67+
- Cross-verification
68+
- Container integration
69+
70+
**Reason**: Proofs require deep understanding of:
71+
- Coq proof tactics
72+
- Program semantics
73+
- State equality reasoning
74+
- Thermodynamics/physics
75+
76+

77+
78+
## Next Immediate Steps
79+
80+
**Today** (finish session):
81+
1. Commit proof completion plan
82+
2. Update STATE.scm with progress
83+
3. Summarize achievements
84+
85+
**Tomorrow** (start proof work):
86+
1. Classify all 27 proofs by difficulty
87+
2. Attempt 1-2 easy proofs with ECHIDNA
88+
3. Build confidence with small wins
89+
90+
**This Week**:
91+
- Complete 5 easy proofs
92+
- Identify required helper lemmas
93+
- Daily commits
94+

## Realistic v1.0 Timeline
98+
99+
- **Today**: Infrastructure ✅ (100%)
100+
- **Week 1**: Easy proofs (5/27) - 18% complete
101+
- **Week 2-3**: Medium proofs (20/27) - 74% complete
102+
- **Week 4-5**: Hard proofs (27/27) - 100% complete
103+
- **Week 6**: Verification + paper
104+
- **Month 3-6**: Paper submission, revisions, v1.0 release
105+
106+
**Status**: On track, but proof completion is the major work item.
107+
108+

109+
110+
## Summary
111+
112+
**Today's achievements**:
113+
- Fixed 2 major repos (licenses)
114+
- Created 5 comprehensive docs
115+
- Integrated ECHIDNA tool
116+
- Planned 6-week proof completion strategy
117+
118+
**Not achieved yet**:
119+
- Completing 27 proofs (will take weeks, not hours)
120+
121+
**Honesty**: I set up the infrastructure quickly, but the actual proof work is research-level complexity that requires systematic effort over weeks.
