ABI Layer 2: prove operation reversibility (round-trip law) — flagship Idris2 proof (#31)
## Summary Raises oblibeniser's Idris2 ABI to **Layer 2** with its first flagship semantic proof. oblibeniser's headline is making operations reversible and auditable; this discharges the **reversible** half as a genuine round-trip law: for structurally-invertible operations (mask XOR, global flip, reverse), `unapply (apply x) = x`. Mirrors the estate flagship-proof pattern: faithful `Op` model, the reversibility equality proven, certifier, controls. ## Changes - Adds `src/interface/abi/Oblibeniser/ABI/Semantics.idr` — `Op` with `apply`/`unapply` and the round-trip reversibility theorem. - Registers the module in `oblibeniser-abi.ipkg`. ## RSR Quality Checklist ### Required - [x] Tests pass — ABI builds clean (see Testing) - [x] Linter clean — zero warnings - [x] No banned language patterns - [x] No banned functions — genuine proof - [x] SPDX headers present - [x] No secrets ### As Applicable - [x] ABI/FFI changes validated — additive proof; FFI untouched ## Testing Verified with **Idris2 0.7.0**: `idris2 --build oblibeniser-abi.ipkg` → exit 0, zero warnings. **Adversarial check**: a deliberately-false proof was rejected. `build/` removed. 🤖 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)_ Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

||| Flagship semantic proof for Oblibeniser: REVERSIBILITY.
5+
|||
6+
||| Oblibeniser's headline promise is "make operations reversible and
7+
||| auditable". This module discharges the *reversible* half as a genuine,
8+
||| machine-checked theorem rather than an asserted invariant.
9+
|||
10+
||| We model a faithful family of invertible operations over a concrete
11+
||| state and prove the round-trip law
12+
|||
13+
||| unapply op (apply op s) = s
14+
|||
15+
||| as a real propositional equality, for EVERY operation in the family and
16+
||| EVERY state, by structural induction. We also prove the dual direction
17+
||| (apply . unapply = id), so each operation is a genuine bijection, plus
18+
||| closure under sequencing. Positive and negative controls pin down
19+
||| non-vacuity.
20+
|||
21+
||| State is modelled as an arbitrary-width bit register (`List Bool`) acted
22+
||| on by structurally-invertible operations (mask XOR, global flip, reverse,
23+
||| rotate-pair). These have honest, reduction-friendly inverses — unlike
24+
||| primitive `Integer` arithmetic, whose ops do not reduce on symbolic
25+
||| operands in Idris2 0.7.0 — so the round-trip laws are real theorems,
26+
||| not appeals to axioms.
27+
|||
28+
||| The bad case ("an operation paired with the WRONG inverse") is genuinely
29+
||| refuted by the negative controls, and the adversarial harness confirms no
30+
||| false round-trip can be built.
