ABI Layer 3: compositional sidecar isolation (write-effect monoid homomorphism) (#176)
## Summary Layer 3 (second, deeper invariant): models a pipeline's write effect as a join over a two-point lattice and proves `pipelineEffect` is a **monoid homomorphism** from list-append. The central **closure theorem** shows any pipeline of only Tier-1 dimensions stays read-only (isolation preserved under composition); dual contamination/monotonicity laws show one target-writing step taints the whole pipeline. Distinct from and deeper than the Layer-2 Octad↔Fin 8 bijection. New module `Verisimiser.ABI.Invariants` (imports the Layer-2 `Octad` model). ## Testing Idris2 0.7.0 `--build` → exit 0, zero warnings (6 modules). Adversarial rejection confirmed. `build/` removed. No `believe_me`/`postulate`/`sorry`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01A6PSzJWpRxtzGDjUCEh7Mx --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01A6PSzJWpRxtzGDjUCEh7Mx)_ Signed-off-by: Jonathan D.A.

||| Layer-3 octad invariant: *compositional* sidecar isolation.
5+
|||
6+
||| `Octad.idr` (Layer 2) proves three things about a *single* dimension:
7+
||| the Octad ≅ Fin 8 bijection, the DriftCategory ≅ OctadDimension bijection,
8+
||| and the per-dimension agreement of `writesTarget` with `dimensionTier`.
9+
|||
10+
||| Those are all statements about one dimension at a time. This module proves a
11+
||| genuinely different and deeper property: an *algebraic closure law* over
12+
||| whole augmentation *pipelines* (sequences of dimensions applied in order).
13+
|||
14+
||| The VeriSimiser safety story is not just "each Tier-1 capability is a
15+
||| read-only piggyback" but "*composing* read-only augmentations can never
16+
||| escalate to a target write". We model the write effect of a pipeline as a
17+
||| join over a two-point lattice (ReadOnly ⊑ Writes, with `Writes` absorbing),
18+
||| show `pipelineEffect` is a monoid homomorphism from list-append, and prove:
19+
|||
20+
||| 1. CLOSURE / SOUNDNESS — a pipeline drawn entirely from Tier-1 dimensions
21+
||| has effect `ReadOnly`: read-only-ness is preserved under composition.
22+
||| 2. CONTAMINATION / MONOTONICITY — if *any* step writes the target, the
23+
||| whole pipeline writes (the join is absorbing); and effect is monotone
24+
||| under concatenation (appending steps can only escalate the effect).
25+
||| 3. HOMOMORPHISM — `pipelineEffect (xs ++ ys) = join (… xs) (… ys)`:
26+
||| the effect of running two pipelines in sequence is the join of their
27+
||| effects, so isolation is a structural (not coincidental) property.
28+
|||
29+
||| Plus a sound+complete decision procedure for "this pipeline is read-only",
30+
||| and positive / negative non-vacuity controls.
