agda(EchoDecidable): axis-8 decidability-respecting echo (first artifact)
First artifact for axis 8 of taxonomy.md (decidability / type-theoretic feasibility): EchoDec f y := Dec (Echo f y). Pairs the dependent-sum echo with a constructive decision procedure. Lightest of the four refinement candidates listed in §8 — fully inside --safe --without-K. Heavier refinements (cost-indexed, graded modality, witness-search abstract machine) project onto this layer by forgetting cost data. Six headline lemmas: * echo-dec-intro — a witness gives `yes`. * echo-dec-pull — yes/no decision becomes Echo ⊎ ¬ Echo. * echo-dec-respect-≡ — decidability transports along ≡. * echo-dec-fin — Fin-domain + Dec ≡ on B ⇒ EchoDec via stdlib's any?. * echo-dec-compose-iso — composition via the accumulation iso (Echo-comp-iso-from / -to from Echo.agda) using map′ on Decidable. * echo-dec-compose-fin — Fin-domain corollary, fully constructive. All headlines pinned in Smoke.agda. Module registered in All.agda so the verified suite covers it (no orphan modules per CLAUDE.md rule). Companion remark: this module commits to no algorithm-cost interpretation. `Dec (Echo f y)` says only that *some* constructive decider exists, not that it runs in any particular time. Complexity promotion sits in heavier refinements; this module is the type-theoretic floor on which they will stack. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

-- Axis-8 (taxonomy.md §8) first artifact: decidability-respecting echo.
4+
--
5+
-- The dependent-sum `Echo f y = Σ A (λ x → f x ≡ y)` expresses
6+
-- *information-theoretic* echo accessibility: a witness exists in
7+
-- the metatheory. The decidability-respecting refinement
8+
--
9+
-- EchoDec f y := Dec (Echo f y)
10+
--
11+
-- pairs the echo with a *constructive decision procedure* — exactly
12+
-- what axis 8 names at the type-theoretic feasibility level. No
13+
-- complexity bounds, no cost monad: the witness is reachable by a
14+
-- constructive procedure when the answer is yes, and the negative
15+
-- case is a constructive refutation.
16+
--
17+
-- Of the four refinement candidates listed in `taxonomy.md` §8, this
18+
-- is the lightest one that lives entirely inside `--safe --without-K`
19+
-- Agda. The heavier refinements (cost-indexed, graded modality,
20+
-- witness-search abstract machine) project onto this layer by
21+
-- forgetting cost data; this module is the bottom of that lattice.
22+
--
23+
-- Headline lemmas (pinned in `Smoke.agda`):
24+
--
25+
-- * echo-dec-intro -- a witness gives `yes`
26+
-- * echo-dec-pull -- yes/no decision becomes a sum
27+
-- * echo-dec-respect-≡ -- decidability transports along ≡
28+
-- * echo-dec-fin -- finite domain + Dec ≡ on B ⇒ EchoDec
29+
-- * echo-dec-compose-iso -- composition via the accumulation iso
30+
-- * echo-dec-compose-fin -- corollary: Fin-domain composition
31+
--
32+
-- Together these say that decidability of an echo composes whenever
33+
-- the intermediate type admits a search procedure, and that the gap
34+
-- between the existence of a witness and the existence of a decider
35+
-- is exactly the gap axis 8 separates.
