ABI Layer 4: prove the FFI result-code seam is injective + faithful (#44)
## Summary Layer 4 (seal the ABI↔FFI seam): proves the FFI result-code encoding (`resultToInt`) is a **sound, lossless wire encoding** — decoder `intToResult` with `resultRoundTrip : intToResult (resultToInt r) = Just r`, from which `resultToIntInjective` is derived. Distinct ABI outcomes never collide on the C wire. Complements the structural `abi-ffi-gate.py`. New module `*.ABI.FfiSeam` (imports `Types`). Positive + non-vacuity controls. ## Testing Idris2 0.7.0 `--build` → exit 0, zero warnings. Adversarial rejection confirmed. `build/` removed. No `believe_me`/`postulate`/`sorry`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01A6PSzJWpRxtzGDjUCEh7Mx --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01A6PSzJWpRxtzGDjUCEh7Mx)_ --------- Signed-off-by: Jonathan D.A.

||| Layer 4: Seals the ABI<->FFI seam for ephapaxiser.
5+
|||
6+
||| The structural gate (scripts/abi-ffi-gate.py) checks that the Idris and Zig
7+
||| `Result` enums agree by name+value. This module supplies the PROOF-SIDE
8+
||| guarantee that the encoding `resultToInt : Result -> Bits32` is SOUND:
9+
|||
10+
||| (a) it is injective — distinct ABI outcomes never collide on the wire;
11+
||| (b) it round-trips — a decoder `intToResult` faithfully recovers the
12+
||| original `Result` from the C integer, so the encoding is lossless.
13+
|||
14+
||| Injectivity is then DERIVED from the round-trip (the cleanest route), and a
15+
||| direct case-analysis injectivity proof is also given as cross-validation.
16+
|||
17+
||| Plus positive controls (concrete decodes = Refl) and a non-vacuity /
18+
||| negative control (two distinct codes have provably distinct ints).

||| Decode a C integer back into a `Result`. Built with boolean `==` on
