P3: prove octad-model invariants as real bijections + sidecar isolation (#168)
## What & why `Proofs.idr` checked the octad only shallowly — `length allDimensions = 8` and a couple of tag values. The §5.6 frontier is the **octad invariants** themselves. New module `Verisimiser.ABI.Octad` proves the defining VeriSimDB octad properties as genuine theorems. ## Change 1. **Octad ≅ Fin 8** — `octadToFin` / `octadFromFin` with **both** round-trips, so the eight dimensions are *exactly* eight, all distinct, with no gaps: a full bijection, not merely a count. 2. **DriftCategory ≅ OctadDimension** — the asserted "drift categories biject onto octad dimensions" proven as a **real bijection** (`driftToDim` / `dimToDrift`, both round-trips). 3. **Sidecar isolation** (the core safety guarantee) — an *independently defined* per-dimension write model (`writesTarget`) is proven **consistent** with the tier classification: every Tier-1 piggyback dimension provably never writes to the target DB (`tier1NeverWritesTarget`), and every Tier-2 overlay dimension does (`tier2WritesTarget`) — so the isolation is a genuine cross-check, not a tautology. 4. **Negative controls** — distinct dimensions are genuinely distinct; at least one dimension *does* write (`writesTarget` isn't constantly `False`). ## Verification (Idris2 0.7.0) - Full ABI builds clean (all 5 modules, zero warnings); no `believe_me`/`postulate`/holes. - **Adversarial**: claiming a Tier-1 dimension writes to the target is **rejected** (`Mismatch True/False`), and a wrong bijection mapping is **rejected** (`Mismatch Metadata/Data`) — the guarantees cannot be subverted. Third of the priority-repo P3 deepenings (verisimiser #3) — completing typedqliser #1, chapeliser #2, verisimiser #3. > Note: this branch also carries the ABI↔FFI gate (`scripts/abi-ffi-gate.py` + workflow), not yet merged into `main` for this repo — it rides along. The `ABI-FFI Gate` check is green. ## CI note rust-ci / Hypatia / governance reds are pre-existing estate-infra unrelated to this change. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_019xMKB3T4Vo5FYC7Czx3JSH --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_019xMKB3T4Vo5FYC7Czx3JSH)_ --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
