docs(claude): record Lane 3 head-Ω Slice 2 session arc
Adds a session arc entry for the Slice 2 landing (PR #130, commit bf9ee6e on main) per the rung-consolidation policy. Documents: * what landed (ω-rank-pow-succ + fin-branch dominance + atomic-rank factoring through head-Ω); * the ω-branch obstruction (originally-proposed shape denotes the same ordinal as ω-rank-pow ω); * the two follow-on paths (Slice 2-omega + Slice 2-bplus); * the priority-ordered plan for the next session (option (b) head-Ω inversion first, then Slice 2-omega, then Slice 2-bplus). Notes the PR #130 admin-merge-before-CI-green for honest provenance. https://claude.ai/code/session_013nLEeKZXpvHnrDZMgRm19S

*Where we started today (commit `65806f4` on `main`, post-#129):* the
199+
PR #129 decoration-bridge scaffold landed under R5; Lane 3's head-Ω
200+
domination route had Slice 1 (`HeadOmega.agda`) but no Slice 2 work.
201+
The `<ᵇ-+1` joint-bplus case remained open with `head-Ω` defined but
202+
not yet consumed by any rank-mono primitive.
203+
204+
*Where we ended today (commit `bf9ee6e` on `main`, post-#130):* Slice 2
205+
lands the abstraction (`ω-rank-pow-succ` + the fin-branch strict
206+
dominance) plus an honest obstruction note on the ω branch:
207+
208+
1. *`Ordinal.Buchholz.RankPow.agda` additions.*
209+
* `ω-rank-pow-succ : OmegaIndex → Ord` — the per-marker "next
210+
ω-power up" target. Fin branch is `ω^(suc(suc n))`; ω branch
211+
reuses the original CLAUDE.md proposal `olim (λ n →
212+
ω^(suc(suc n)))` so the abstraction is in place for follow-on
213+
slices to inspect and (if needed) override.
214+
* `ω-rank-pow-succ-fin` — definitional sanity at the fin branch.
215+
* `ω-rank-pow-<-succ-fin` — per-marker strict dominance at fin
216+
via `ω^-strict-mono-suc (suc n)`.
217+
* `rank-pow-bOmega-via-head-Ω`, `rank-pow-bpsi-via-head-Ω`
218+
atomic-rank `refl`-shape primitives factoring `rank-pow` through
219+
`head-Ω` for the two non-bplus, non-bzero `BT` constructors.
220+
221+
2. *`Ordinal.Buchholz.Smoke.agda` pinning.* Five headlines pinned
222+
under their own `using` block with a header comment, per CLAUDE.md
223+
Working rules.
224+
225+
*Obstruction note.* The originally-proposed CLAUDE.md shape
226+
`ω-rank-pow-succ ω = olim (λ n → ω^(suc(suc n)))` represents the
227+
**same** ordinal as `ω-rank-pow ω = olim (λ n → ω^(suc n))` — both
228+
are `sup{ω^(n+1) : n ∈ ℕ} = ω^ω`, with different ℕ-indexings of the
229+
same tail. Strict dominance at the ω branch therefore cannot hold
230+
under that shape. Inline `RankPow.agda` comments document two
231+
follow-on slices:
232+
233+
* *Slice 2-omega.* Replace the ω branch with a genuinely
234+
strictly-larger ordinal. Candidate: `ω^(ω+1)` encoded as
235+
`olim (λ n → (ω-rank-pow ω) ·ℕ n)`. Three cross-checks
236+
documented inline before committing (closure under ordinal
237+
addition; the consumer's actual additive-principal need; sanity-
238+
check of the indexing's leading `oz ⊕` which is NOT definitionally
239+
`ω-rank-pow ω` under Brouwer's right-recursing `_⊕_`).
240+
* *Slice 2-bplus.* Prove the full
241+
`rank-pow-dominated-by-head-Ω : (t : BT) → NonBzero t → WfCNF t →
242+
rank-pow t <′ ω-rank-pow-succ (head-Ω t)` by structural recursion
243+
on WfCNF. The bplus case needs a `rank-pow-mono-≤ᵇ` companion for
244+
the original `_<ᵇ_` (the WfCNF tail bound is `_≤ᵇ_`, not `_≤ᵇ⁰_`).
245+
Marked `TODO(slice-2-bplus)` inline. Option (b) — head-Ω inversion
246+
that does not transitively depend on rank-mono — is preferred
247+
because it keeps `rank-pow-dominated-by-head-Ω` independent of
248+
the companion so signature changes don't silently propagate.
249+
250+
Build invariant held: `proofs/agda/All.agda` + `proofs/agda/Smoke.agda`
251+
+ `Ordinal/Buchholz/Smoke.agda` all exit 0 under `--safe --without-K`,
252+
zero postulates, no funext. `scripts/kernel-guard.sh` PASS.
253+
254+
PR #130 was admin-merged before CI green at user direction; CI was
255+
still all-12-queued at merge time. No CI failures have surfaced
256+
since (treat any later red as authoritative if it does).
257+
258+
*Plan for the next Claude.* Continue option (A) per
259+
`RankPow.agda`'s preamble, in priority order:
260+
261+
1. *Option (b) head-Ω inversion lemma* — `bOmega ν <ᵇ x → ν <Ω
262+
head-Ω x` and the ψ-analogue `bpsi ν α <ᵇ x → ν ≤Ω head-Ω x`.
263+
Independent of Slice 2-omega's ω-branch question; smallest useful
264+
next step. Lands in a new module under `Ordinal/Buchholz/` (e.g.
265+
`HeadOmegaInversion.agda`) so the existing `HeadOmega.agda` stays
266+
pure definitions + sanity lemmas.
267+
2. *Slice 2-omega* — replace the ω branch of `ω-rank-pow-succ` with
268+
the documented `ω^(ω+1)` candidate after running the three
269+
cross-checks listed in `RankPow.agda`'s Slice 2-omega comment.
270+
Brouwer ordinal arithmetic; non-trivial.
271+
3. *Slice 2-bplus* — prove the full domination lemma. Composes
272+
(1) + (2).
273+
274+
DO NOT reopen: the closed 11/13 Buchholz constructors; the
275+
W1/W2/W3 walkthroughs; the R-2026-05-18 narrowings; the closed
276+
fin-branch dominance just landed.
