proofs(coq): close admit triumvirate (#56 / #57 / #58)
Three closures land the Coq layer at zero `Admitted` markers: * `mkdir_two_dirs_reversible` (filesystem_composition.v) — restated to LIFO order so it discharges via `two_op_sequence_reversible` + `rmdir_precondition_after_mkdir` + `mkdir_preserves_well_formed`. Closes #56. Only standard funext. * `overwrite_pass_equalizes_storage` (rmo_operations.v) — closure path (A) per issue #57: `Hgeom` strengthened with `block_overwritten blk1 = block_overwritten blk2`. Proof case-splits on `In bid (sfs_mapping sfs1 p)`; mapped branch uses `In_existsb_Nat_eqb` + `f_equal` on the `mkBlock` constructor; un- mapped branch uses `overwrite_path_blocks_non_mapped_preserved` and the `Hother` hypothesis. `one_pass_storage_agrees` re-signed to match. Closes #57. Zero axioms. * `obliterate_not_injective` (rmo_operations.v) — threads the strengthened hypothesis through `one_pass_storage_agrees` and `multi_pass_same_start_same_result`, then reassembles the `mkStorageFS` via `cbn [sfs_tree sfs_storage sfs_mapping]` + `f_equal` + `functional_extensionality`. The strengthened hypothesis is trivially satisfied for the canonical first-time obliteration use case (block_overwritten = 0 on both sides), so the MAA/GDPR marketing claim is unchanged. Closes #58. Only standard funext. PROOF-NEEDS.md reconciled: * Idris2 hole tally corrected 22 -> 16 (equivSymProof and appendOnlyAuditLogProof were closed silently during the morning sweep but the inventory text was not updated). * Assumption Registry table updated: 3 Coq admits removed, axiom inventory now lists only is_empty_dir_dec + funext. * "What Needs Proving" rewritten as a 7-tier prioritised attack-list (P1 closeable now; P2 blocked on primitive-eq groundwork; P3-P7 research / frontier / marginal / tooling). Verified locally: * `coqc -R . ValenceShell` clean on all 11 .v files * `Print Assumptions` for each closed theorem: only funext (or zero for #57) * `idris2 --build valence-shell.ipkg` exit 0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Drift from previous PROOF-NEEDS.md tally (16 holes) to current (13 holes) is the 3 Cat-A RMO redesigns closed in this session — each had a non-theorem signature (refutable by an explicit counter-witness; see Priority 1 notes below), and was restated to its correct shape and discharged in a single PR. The earlier 22 → 16 drift was the 2026-06-02 morning sweep silently closing `equivSymProof` + `appendOnlyAuditLogProof`.

#### Priority 1 — visible, tractable in 1-2 PRs
75+
76+
1. **Idris2 Cat-A theorem-shape redesigns** (per issue #119 Category A):
77+
- `cnoWriteSameContentProof` (`Operations.idr:254`) — restate to `equiv (writeFile p c fs) fs = True` rather than `=`, since `writeFile` re-heads the entries list (`addEntry ∘ removeEntry`). Refuted-as-stated.
78+
- The remaining `appendOnlyAuditLogProof` from issue #119 Cat A is already closed via `Refl` in the live source — verify and remove from inventory if not done.
79+
2. **Idris2 Cat-D documented axioms** (per issue #119 Cat D, RMO physical claims): mark `overwriteIrreversibleProof` + `hardwareEraseIrreversibleProof` as explicit axiomatic placeholders (NIST SP 800-88 + Shannon entropy; physical hardware claims). Idris2 0.8.0 has no `postulate` keyword, so use a labelled-`believe_me` with the axiom name embedded + CI explicit-list gate. Recommended single PR.
80+
3. **Idris2 `auditTrailCompletenessProof`** (`RMO.idr:270`) — tractable AFTER (1) lands, since closure follows from the audit-log invariant (`isAppendOnly` chain ⇒ membership).

`all`/`elem`, or (b) migration to a structural set-of-paths model that
