proof(SafeTOML): annotate 5 bodyless decls as OWED (Refs standards#158) (#52)
## Summary Converts the 5 bodyless `export` declarations in `src/Proven/SafeTOML/Proofs.idr` to the estate's OWED-with-justification convention established 2026-05-20 across SafeChecksum, SafeBuffer, SafeCryptoAccel, SafeHKDF, SafeBloom, SafeFPGA, SafeAPIKey, SafeCORS, SafeCSV, SafeSemVer, and SafeHtml: - Triple-pipe `|||` doc-comment stating the claim - Leading `0 ` (erased multiplicity, runtime-stripped) - Bare type signature, no `postulate` keyword - Explicit Idris2 0.8.0 blocker + discharge condition Refs hyperpolymath/standards#158. ## The 5 OWED items ### 1. `isScalarCorrect` **Claim:** `isScalar val = True -> not (isTable val || isArray val) = True`. **Why OWED:** `isScalar`, `isTable`, and `isArray` are pairwise disjoint on the ten `TOMLValue` constructors (definitions in `src/Proven/SafeTOML/Types.idr` L376-L393). The proof closes by a ten-arm case-split on `val`, but Idris2 0.8.0 does not auto-derive `absurd` from `True = False` on the three non-scalar arms (`TArray`, `TInlineTable`, `TTable`). Same shape as boj-server's class-J `Bool`-vs-`Prop` reflection gap (SafetyLemmas `charEqSound`). **Discharge:** reflective `Bool`-to-`Dec` lemma for derived enum-shaped predicates, or hand-write the ten-arm split with one `Refl` per scalar arm and `absurd Refl` for the three non-scalar arms. ### 2. `bareKeyCharsValid` **Claim:** `isValidBareKey key = True -> all isValidBareKeyChar (unpack key) = True`. **Why OWED:** the definition is `isValidBareKey s = not (null (unpack s)) && all isValidBareKeyChar (unpack s)` (`Types.idr` L461-L463). From `(&&) = True` we want the second projection, but the two `unpack key` occurrences are opaque under Idris2 0.8.0's String FFI primitives and the elaborator cannot unify them by Refl. Same blocker family as `SafeHtml.escapePreservesNoLT` and the SafeChecksum Luhn/ISBN OWED set. **Discharge:** `Data.String` reflective tactic for `unpack`, or a generic `andTrueSplit : (x && y = True) -> (x = True, y = True)` applied under the opaque head. ### 3. `specialCharsNeedQuoting` **Claim:** `any (not . isValidBareKeyChar) (unpack key) = True -> needsQuoting key = True`. **Why OWED:** chain is `any (not . p) xs = True ==> all p xs = False ==> isValidBareKey key = False ==> needsQuoting key = True` (De Morgan on `any/all` + definitions `Types.idr` L461-L468). Held back by opaque `unpack` plus the absence of a definitional `any (not . p) xs = not (all p xs)` Refl. Same family as (2). **Discharge:** as (2), or compose a hand-written `anyNotAll : any (not . p) xs = True -> all p xs = False` with `notTrueIsFalse`. ### 4. `dateComponentsValid` **Claim:** `(d.month >= 1 && d.month <= 12 && d.day >= 1 && d.day <= 31) = True` for any `d : TOMLDate`. **Why OWED:** `TOMLDate` is a plain record (`MkTOMLDate : Integer -> Nat -> Nat -> TOMLDate`, `Types.idr` L64-L68) with no refinement on `month`/`day`. The claim is a parser-postcondition only — nothing in the type rules out `MkTOMLDate 2026 13 31`. Same shape as boj-server's I7 FFI-correctness assumptions (stated at the parser seam, not proved). **Discharge:** refactor `TOMLDate` to a smart-constructor with `{auto 0 _ : InRange month 1 12}` etc., and update `Parser.parseDate` to produce the refined record. Alternatively thread a `Trusted.Parser` ghost-oracle predicate. ### 5. `timeComponentsValid` **Claim:** `(t.hour <= 23 && t.minute <= 59 && t.second <= 60) = True` for any `t : TOMLTime` (`60` is intentional, ISO 8601 leap-second). **Why OWED:** identical shape to (4) on `TOMLTime` (`Types.idr` L83-L88) — plain record, parser-postcondition, no constructor-level refinement. **Discharge:** as (4) on `TOMLTime` fields. ## Safety posture - Zero `believe_me` - Zero `postulate` - Zero `idris_crash` - All `0 `-erased — postulates cannot leak into runtime - Discoverable as named declarations (vs silent / commented-out) ## Local verification ``` IDRIS2_PREFIX=/home/.../idris2/0.8.0 \ idris2 --source-dir src --check src/Proven/SafeTOML/Proofs.idr 1/3: Building Proven.Core (src/Proven/Core.idr) 2/3: Building Proven.SafeTOML.Types (src/Proven/SafeTOML/Types.idr) 3/3: Building Proven.SafeTOML.Proofs (src/Proven/SafeTOML/Proofs.idr) ``` (One pre-existing `isValidBareKeyChar` shadow warning is on the original signature, unchanged by this PR.) ## Scope - Touches only `src/Proven/SafeTOML/Proofs.idr` - 5 declarations annotated; the other Refl-discharged proofs in the file are untouched ## Test plan - [ ] CI green on this PR (idris2 0.8.0 `--check`) - [ ] Owner review of OWED reasons against SafeChecksum / SafeHtml precedent (PRs #33 / #41) - [ ] Verify no downstream module shadows the names (grep was clean at edit time) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
