proofs(idris2): close 3 Cat-A RMO non-theorem holes (#119B) — RMO.idr at zero holes (#134)

## Summary

Closes the last 3 Idris2 `?holes` in
`proofs/idris2/src/Filesystem/RMO.idr` by restating each non-theorem
signature to its correct shape and discharging it inline. **No new
axioms, no `believe_me`**. Mirrors the #60 / #61 / #119A "non-theorem
redesign" precedent.

Closes #129, #130, #131. Refs #119.

## Redesigns

* **`overwriteIrreversibleProof`** — prior signature `(recovery :
FileContent -> Maybe FileContent) -> recovery randomData = Nothing` was
refuted by `recovery = const (Just orig)`. Restated to "no recovery
function can be a universal inverse over the pre-overwrite space" —
given two distinct originals, any recovery yields a single `Maybe
FileContent`, which cannot equal both `Just orig1` and `Just orig2`.
Closed via `Just`-injection on `trans (sym eq1) eq2`.

* **`hardwareEraseIrreversibleProof`** — prior signature
`HardwareEraseProof -> (Unit -> Filesystem) -> Void` was refuted by `\()
=> empty`. Restated to take the post-erase state as input and witnesses
non-injectivity via function-determinism on `recovery postErase`. Closed
via `trans (sym eq1) eq2`.

* **`auditTrailCompletenessProof`** — prior signature `(entries : List
AuditEntry) -> (p : Path) -> ObliterationProof p -> Elem p (map
AuditEntry.path entries)` was refuted by `entries = []`. Restated to
name the append event introducing `p` into the log. Closed via a
`where`-bound `elemAtTail` lemma (induction on the prefix) +
`appendAuditEntry` unfolding.

## Verification

- ✅ `idris2 --build valence-shell.ipkg` clean (4/4 modules build).
- ✅ `grep '\?' src/Filesystem/RMO.idr` → **zero holes** in RMO.idr.
- ✅ Idris2 top-level hole count: 16 → 13 (`Operations.idr` 7,
`Composition.idr` 4, `Model.idr` 2; sub-holes 4 unchanged).
- ✅ No new imports, no `believe_me`, no `partial` annotations
introduced.
- ✅ Hits the #112 / #113 parser escape: `proof` is reserved in Idris2
0.8.0, so the `HardwareEraseProof` formal parameter is named
`eraseProof`.

## Frontier after this PR

All remaining 13 Idris2 top-level holes are in **Priority 2 frozen**
(primitive-eq groundwork pending owner sign-off on path 1/2/3) or
require Cat-A redesigns for `undoRedoIdentity` / `undoRedoComposition`
(filed separately). No quick wins left.

## Test plan

- [x] Idris2 build verifies all 4 modules typecheck under `%default
total`.
- [x] PROOF-NEEDS.md hole inventory updated (table + Foundational
Closure row + Priority Summary).
- [ ] CI: `idris-verification` workflow on PR.
- [ ] CI: PROOF-NEEDS / governance checks.
