abi: prove translation preserves results (Julianiser.ABI.Semantics)
Add the flagship Layer-2 semantic proof for julianiser. Models a shared arithmetic + array-indexing expression AST with two evaluators: evalSrc (Python/R, 0-based indexing) and evalJulia (translated Julia, 1-based indexing). Proves the headline correctness property: translatePreserves : (env) -> (e) -> evalSrc env e = evalJulia env (translate e) as a genuine propositional equality by structural induction, with the index case discharged by the 0-to-1 re-basing round-trip lemma (juliaRoundTrip), mirroring IndexRemapCorrect in Types.idr. Includes a sound certifier (certifyEquiv/certifyEquivSound), a positive control (sampleAgrees, fully evaluated 10*2+30=50), and a negative control: a deliberately unshifted "buggy" Julia evaluator together with buggyDivergesWitness proving it genuinely diverges (30 /= 20). The property is non-vacuous: an adversarial Refl claiming the buggy translation preserves results is rejected by idris2 (Mismatch 20 vs 30). No believe_me/postulate/assert_total. Builds clean, zero warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A6PSzJWpRxtzGDjUCEh7Mx

||| Flagship semantic correctness proof for julianiser.
5+
|||
6+
||| julianiser auto-wraps Python/R data pipelines into Julia. The headline
7+
||| correctness obligation is that the GENERATED Julia code computes exactly
8+
||| the same value as the ORIGINAL source code. This module discharges that
9+
||| obligation for a small but faithful arithmetic + array-indexing expression
10+
||| language.
11+
|||
12+
||| Two evaluators are defined over a single AST:
13+
||| * `evalSrc` — the Python/R source semantics (0-based array indexing)
14+
||| * `evalJulia` — the translated Julia semantics, evaluated against the
15+
||| AST produced by `translate` (1-based array indexing)
16+
|||
17+
||| The flagship theorem `translatePreserves` proves, for EVERY expression and
18+
||| EVERY environment, that
19+
|||
20+
||| evalSrc env e = evalJulia env (translate e)
21+
|||
22+
||| as a genuine propositional equality. This is non-vacuous: the array-index
23+
||| case forces `translate` to shift Python's 0-based index `n` to Julia's
24+
||| 1-based index `S n` (mirroring `IndexRemapCorrect` in Types.idr). A
25+
||| translation that FORGOT this shift would make the theorem unprovable — the
26+
||| adversarial check exploits exactly this.

||| A small arithmetic expression language with array indexing. This is the

||| shared surface syntax that both the Python/R front end and the Julia back
42+

43+
||| environment, so indices are statically in-bounds (`Fin n`) and array access
44+
