## Why
An honest inventory of the Lean suite (`jtv_proofs/`) found that,
although it is `sorry`/`admit`/`axiom`-free and `lake build`-green,
**eight theorems were laundering unproven claims through a `True`
statement** — they compiled while asserting nothing. Two of them
(`string_not_executable`, `confluence`) were even labelled `verified` in
`PROOF-CAPABILITY-MATRIX.adoc`. The `no-sorry` invariant is honest about
the *kernel* but said nothing about *vacuity*.
This PR closes that gap: every believeme becomes a real statement with a
real, compiled proof, and the matrix gains a **NO-VACUITY invariant**
plus an honest **Int-only semantic-scope** note.
## The eight, before → after
| Theorem | Now proves (real) |
|---|---|
| `string_not_executable` | Data is inert: `∃ n : Int, evalDataExpr e σ
= n` (value, never a `ControlStmt`) |
| `no_vulnerable_constructs` | structural induction `e.isInert = true`
over the actual `DataExpr` constructors (adds `DataExpr.isInert`) |
| `no_reverse_joinpoints` | `∀ fl ∈ s.flows, fl = dataToControl` — every
flow is Data→Control (stronger than "no controlToData") |
| `data_evaluation_secure` | `∃ n : Int, evalDataExpr e σ = n`
(terminates in a value) |
| `dataExpr_no_control` | `∃ n : Int, evalDataExpr e σ = n` (eval lands
in `Int`, disjoint from `ControlStmt`) |
| `confluence` | determinism ⇒ confluence |
| `control_data_noninterference` | `free_vars_sufficient` corollary —
Control affects Data only via assigned state variables |
| `rev_composition` | the Safe reversal round-trip `execBackward
(addAssign x e) (execForward … σ) x = σ x` for `x ∉ e.freeVars`
(subtraction = the *generated* inverse, never a primitive) |
These rest on theorems that were already genuinely proved
(`dataExpr_totality`, `free_vars_sufficient`, `rev_forward_backward`,
`ControlStmt.flows`), so the new content is sound, not aspirational.
## Honesty recorded in the matrix
- **NO-VACUITY invariant** (`grep ':\s*True\s*:='` ⇒ 0) alongside the
existing no-`sorry` one.
- **Semantic scope**: `evalDataExpr` is `Int`-only; the seven number
systems are *typed* (`JtvType` + typing rules) but their evaluation is
`stated-unproven`, and `type_preservation` is mechanised only for `τ =
int`. (Orthogonal to v2 — Echo is representation-agnostic.)
## Verification
`cd jtv_proofs && lake build` green from a clean tree (all 10 targets,
cold); `grep -rEc 'sorry|admit|axiom'` ⇒ 0; `grep -rE ':\s*True\s*:='` ⇒
0.
## Context
Follow-up to #26 (merged). The injection-impossibility story is
unchanged and now better-supported: it rests on the genuinely-real
`no_control_to_data_flow` + the disjoint `DataExpr`/`ControlStmt` types
+ data-inertness — not on the vacuous theorems, which never carried it.
Next planned step remains **(c)**, the token/residue neutral-reversal
bridge.

== Scope of the semantic model (honest)
53
+
54
+
The denotational/operational model (`evalDataExpr`) is over **`Int`** only. The
55
+
seven number systems are present in `JtvTypes` as the `JtvType` enum plus typing
56
+
rules (`addRational` / `addComplex` / `addSymbolic` / …), but their *evaluation*
57
+
is not modelled, and `type_preservation` is mechanised **only for `τ = int`**.
58
+
So: addition-only Data totality/determinism/algebra and the Echo/reversibility
59
+
layer are proved over the integer model; rational/float/complex/hex/binary/
60
+
symbolic semantics are `stated-unproven` at the value level. (This is orthogonal
61
+
to v2 — Echo is representation-agnostic.)
