proofs: first Idris2 corpus (order theory) + proof-corpus CI gate (#30)
## What Closes the headline gap `PROOF-NEEDS.md` was written for: git-reticulator had **zero mechanized proofs** for a project whose central noun is *lattice*. This lands the **first** one — and, crucially, the **prover wired into CI** — so "earn the noun or retire it" finally has a foothold. ## Changes - **`verification/proofs/Lattice/Order.idr`** — `%default total`, zero proof escapes, **verified under Idris2 0.8.0**. Proves: - `natOrder` — the partial-order laws are *witnessed* (reflexive + transitive + antisymmetric): **P1a**. - `noTwoCycle` — **antisymmetry ⇒ no 2-cycle**, the order-theoretic heart of why the SCC condensation is a DAG: **P2a essence**. - **`verification/proofs/git-reticulator-proofs.ipkg`** — the corpus package. - **`.github/workflows/proof-corpus.yml`** — Idris2 prover gate: pinned v0.8.0 built from source, proof-escape audit, `idris2 --build`. Mirrors vcl-ut's canonical workflow **plus `libgmp-dev`** — the Idris2 RefC support-lib dep that vcl-ut's recipe omits (discovered the hard way building Idris2 locally; vcl-ut's gate may be silently red on it). `timeout-minutes` + SHA-pinned checkout (Hypatia-clean). - **`PROOF-NEEDS.md`** — updated **honestly**. ## Scope honesty (no overclaiming — the estate bar) This is **abstract** order theory, proved on a generic `PartialOrder`. It is **not yet bound to the actual Rust graph** in `src/lattice/mod.rs` — that connection is the ADR-006 Idris2 ABI seam (next step). The doc says exactly this. ## Verified locally `idris2 --check` and `idris2 --build` both green; proof-escape audit clean. (Rust is untouched, so the cargo CI is unaffected.) Draft — the new `proof-corpus` job builds Idris2 from source (~15 min) and is the authoritative check. https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNCDaWMB8NV6nAPrvmTg4w --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNCDaWMB8NV6nAPrvmTg4w)_
