Proof honesty: de-vacuate 8 True-typed believeme theorems (#27)
## 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. https://claude.ai/code/session_01BJmfoz1ZS1Pejy9LLMY742 --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01BJmfoz1ZS1Pejy9LLMY742)_ Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

rules (`addRational` / `addComplex` / `addSymbolic` / …), but their *evaluation*

So: addition-only Data totality/determinism/algebra and the Echo/reversibility

layer are proved over the integer model; rational/float/complex/hex/binary/

symbolic semantics are `stated-unproven` at the value level. (This is orthogonal

to v2 — Echo is representation-agnostic.)
