Remove template-only ABI files that falsely implied formal verification
Template Idris2 ABI files (Types.idr, Layout.idr, Foreign.idr) contained only RSR template scaffolding with unresolved placeholders and no domain-specific proofs. Removed to prevent false impression of formal verification coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Template ABI Cleanup (2026-03-29)
4+
Template ABI removed -- was creating false impression of formal verification.
5+
The removed files (Types.idr, Layout.idr, Foreign.idr) contained only RSR template
6+
scaffolding with unresolved {{PROJECT}}/{{AUTHOR}} placeholders and no domain-specific proofs.
7+
8+
When this project needs formal ABI verification, create domain-specific Idris2 proofs
9+
following the pattern in repos like `typed-wasm`, `proven`, `echidna`, or `boj-server`.
