proof(lean4): mechanize Capability Soundness (safety_proofs.md Theorem 2)

Make the informal "by inspection of execution paths" argument for
Theorem 2 machine-checked, reusing the real PhrAction AST.

* Model: Resource / Operation / Capability / Context (capability list);
  requiredCap? maps the four leaf actions to their capability per §2.3
  (ACCEPT/REJECT -> route_decision:write, REPORT -> consensus_log:append,
  EXECUTE f -> module f:exec).

* The Executes relation is capability-gated BY CONSTRUCTION: every leaf
  rule carries the required-capability membership as a hypothesis, and
  there is deliberately no constructor that executes without an
  enforcement point. capability_soundness then follows by inversion --
  this is exactly "all paths have enforcement points" made formal.

* capability_soundness_ite extends enforcement through conditional
  actions (an executed iteAction reduces to a gated branch).

* The two §2.5 side-properties are mechanized too: least_privilege (a
  fresh context holds only granted capabilities) and no_escalation
  (a step never enlarges the capability set, S -> S' => S'.caps subset
  of S.caps).

All four are sorry-free; #print axioms reports only Lean's standard
propext (capability_soundness_ite is axiom-free). Builds clean on Lean
4.12.0 core, no Mathlib.

Docs: safety_proofs.md §2.4 gains a "Mechanized (Lean 4)" note and §5
status table now reads Sandbox Isolation + Capability Soundness =
Mechanized (Lean 4), BFT Safety = Model-checked (TLA+/TLC).

+
+  Mechanizes the informal "by inspection of execution paths" argument for
+  **Capability Soundness**: *no operation executes without the required
+  capability*. The execution relation `Executes` is capability-gated by
+  construction — every leaf rule carries its required-capability membership
+  as a hypothesis — so soundness holds by inversion: there is provably no
+  execution path that bypasses an enforcement point.
+
+  Also mechanizes the two stated side-properties (§2.5):
+    * Least Privilege          — a fresh context holds only granted caps.
+    * No Capability Escalation — a step never enlarges the capability set.
