fix(proofs/idris2): redesign auditTrailCompleteness as a per-insertion theorem (closes #131)

Closes the third non-theorem from the #119 Category A inventory.
Mirrors the #60 / #61 / #119A precedent: rather than discharging a
provably-false claim with `believe_me`, restate it as a structurally
honest one.

Was:

    auditTrailCompleteness :
      (entries : List AuditEntry) ->
      (p : Path) ->
      (obliterated : ObliterationProof p) ->
      Elem p (map AuditEntry.path entries)

Refutable by `entries := []`: an `ObliterationProof` for any `p`
exists (just `MkObliterationProof p Clear 0 "unlink"`), yet the empty
log contains no paths. The signature said "any obliteration is in
any log" — plainly false.

Now:

    auditTrailCompleteness :
      (log : List AuditEntry) ->
      (entry : AuditEntry) ->
      (p : Path) ->
      (insertedPath : AuditEntry.path entry = p) ->
      Elem p (map AuditEntry.path (appendAuditEntry log entry))
    auditTrailCompleteness log entry p insertedPath =
      rewrite sym insertedPath in
        elemMap AuditEntry.path (elemAppRightSelf log entry)

The corrected shape encodes the actual invariant: the path is
present in the post-append log *because* the entry recording it was
appended via the official `appendAuditEntry` constructor. The
`insertedPath` premise witnesses the caller's commitment that the
new entry indeed names the path we claim is logged.

1. `appendAuditEntry log entry` reduces to `log ++ [entry]` by
   definition (already proved as `appendOnlyAuditLog : Refl`).
2. `Data.List.Elem.elemMap` lifts list membership through `map`,
   giving `Elem (AuditEntry.path entry) (map AuditEntry.path
   (log ++ [entry]))`.
3. A short local helper `elemAppRightSelf` proves
   `Elem x (xs ++ [x])` by induction on the prefix — the lemma is
   not in Idris2 0.8.0 base.
4. The `insertedPath` equality rewrites `AuditEntry.path entry` to
   `p` in the goal.

Local Idris2 0.8.0:

    $ cd proofs/idris2 && rm -rf build && idris2 --build valence-shell.ipkg
    1/4: Building Filesystem.Model        OK
    2/4: Building Filesystem.RMO          OK
    3/4: Building Filesystem.Operations   OK
    4/4: Building Filesystem.Composition  OK

    $ grep -c '?auditTrailCompleteness' proofs/idris2/src/Filesystem/RMO.idr
    0

    $ grep -c 'believe_me' proofs/idris2/src/Filesystem/RMO.idr
    2   # both inside ||| doc comments; no invocations

No regressions. `--total` honoured. One hole eliminated; tree drops
from 16 to 15. PROOF-NEEDS.md inventory + closure-history table
updated to reflect the new state.

Closes #131.
