docs(proof-needs): record second blocker (all/foldMap reduction wall)

Followup to the Q1-C pilot finding: attempting to close equivTrans on
the same branch revealed a second, independent structural problem.

`all p (x :: rest)` does NOT reduce to `(p x && all p rest)` by Refl
in Idris2 0.8.0. The `all` definition elaborates through
`foldMap @{All}` and even though foldMap's default body is foldr-
based, the elaborator produces a foldl-shaped term that no
straightforward rewrite can directly destructure into the textbook
&&-chain. Empirical witness: `example : all p (x :: rs) = (p x && all
p rs); example = Refl` fails to typecheck.

Consequently the primitive-eq axioms (Blocker 1) UNBLOCK leaf-level
reflexivity (equivRefl) but cannot bridge the foldMap-shaped
reduction wall (Blocker 2). equivTrans / cnoWriteSameContent / the 7
Operations reversibility theorems remain frozen.

Three closure paths for Blocker 2 documented (all owner-decision):
  1. Replace equiv with a structural myAll-based definition.
  2. Prove allCons : all p (x :: rs) = (p x && all p rs) via foldl
     lemmas.
  3. Migrate equiv to propositional Data.List.Quantifiers.All.

No source changes; documentation honesty only.

-   allow-list (per the Cat-D `believe_me` pattern). Smallest change,

-2. **Migrate `Path` to a structural representation** — replace
-   `String`-component paths with `Nat`-encoded interned identifiers.
-   `Nat == Nat` IS reducible on opaque values. Bigger migration but
-   no `believe_me`.
-3. **Reformulate every blocked theorem to use `decEq`-style branches**

+#### Priority 2 — TWO blockers (primitive-eq UNBLOCKED; `all`/`foldMap` still blocked)
+
+Status as of the 2026-06-02 PM Q1-C pilot (PR #133):
+
+**Blocker 1 (primitive-eq) — UNBLOCKED.** The pilot adds
+`axStringEqRefl` + `axBits8EqRefl` in `Filesystem.Axioms` with a CI
+allow-list guard. `equivReflProof` closed as proof-of-concept. The
+axioms are operationally true and gated; soundness audit trail
+preserved via the `IDRIS2_AXIOMS.a2ml` registry.
+
+**Blocker 2 (`all`/`foldMap` reduction) — DISCOVERED.** Attempting to
+close `equivTrans` in the same session revealed a second, independent
+problem: **`all p (x :: rest)` does NOT reduce to `(p x && all p rest)`
+by `Refl` in Idris2 0.8.0.** The `all` definition elaborates through
+`foldMap @{All}` — even though `foldMap`'s default body is `foldr`-
+based, the elaborator produces a `foldl`-shaped term that neither
+`Refl` nor any straightforward rewrite can directly destructure into
+the textbook `&&`-chain. Empirical witness:
+`example : all p (x :: rs) = (p x && all p rs) ; example = Refl`
+fails to typecheck — the unifier reports
+`foldl ... (neutral <+> p x) rs` on one side, `p x && Delay (all p rs)`
+on the other.
+
+Consequently, **`equivTrans`, `cnoWriteSameContent`, and the 7
+reversibility theorems** are still blocked. The primitive-eq axioms
+unblock the LEAF reflexivity step but cannot bridge the foldMap-shaped
+reduction wall.
+
+Three closure paths for blocker 2 (owner-decision required):
+
+1. **Replace `equiv` with a structural `myAll`-based definition** that
+   reduces by `Refl`. Touches the `equiv` shape but contained to
+   `Model.idr`. Probably 1 PR.
+2. **Prove `allCons : all p (x :: rs) = (p x && all p rs)` via a chain
+   of `foldl` lemmas** — `foldlAndAccTrue` + `foldlAndFalseStays` +
+   careful with-clauses. Pure mathematics but ~50 lines of fiddly
+   proof engineering against an opaque elaboration order.
+3. **Migrate `equiv` to a propositional `All`-based shape** (via
+   `Data.List.Quantifiers.All`) — cleanest mathematically but ripples
+   through every call-site of `equiv`.
+
+Until one of these lands, the following holes remain frozen even with
+the axiom infrastructure live:
+
+- `equivTransProof` (Model.idr:353)
 - `cnoWriteSameContentProof` (Operations.idr:254)
 - 4 `?XXXPrfAfter` sub-holes in Operations.idr
 - 7 reversibility theorems in Operations.idr (mkdirRmdir, rmdirMkdir,
   touchRm, rmTouch, writeFile, operationIndependence,
   cnoWriteSameContent)
 
 Separately, `undoRedoIdentityProof` and `undoRedoCompositionProof`
-need a Cat-A redesign (missing `isReversible op = True` precondition;
-provably refuted for non-reversible `op`) before primitive-eq is even
-relevant.
+still need a Cat-A redesign (missing `isReversible op = True`
+precondition; provably refuted for non-reversible `op`) before either
+blocker is relevant.
