feat(proofs): fully prove SwitchCaseBodyBridge, reduce axiom count 3→2 (#1557)
* refactor(proofs): decompose SwitchCaseBodyBridge axiom into proved theorem + narrower axiom Replace the `SwitchCaseBodyBridge` axiom with: 1. `exec_switchCaseBody_continue_of_long` (proved theorem) — when dispatch guards are safe and calldata arity is sufficient, the guard prefix (comment + optional callvalue guard + calldatasize guard) of `switchCaseBody fn` steps through as a no-op, reducing execution to `fn.body` in the same state. 2. `SwitchCaseBodyBridge_body` (narrower axiom) — purely Yul-level: executing a statement list with `__has_selector` set and dispatch fuel gives the same rollback-wrapped result as total `execYulStmts` execution. Captures variable irrelevance and fuel adequacy without mentioning IR types. 3. `SwitchCaseBodyBridge` (proved theorem) — composes the above two pieces to match the original axiom interface used by `yulCodegen_preserves_semantics`. The active axiom count remains at 4, but the trusted surface is strictly smaller: the new axiom is purely Yul-level and does not mention `IRFunction`, `IRTransaction`, `execIRFunction`, `resultsMatch`, or `interpretYulRuntime`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci: allowlist new SwitchCaseBodyBridge decomposition proofs Add `exec_switchCaseBody_continue_of_long` and `SwitchCaseBodyBridge` to the proof length allowlist. Both are transport-heavy reductions over reducible Yul semantics, mirroring the existing allowlisted `exec_switchCaseBody_revert_of_short` and `SwitchCaseBodyBridge_short`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(proofs): decompose SwitchCaseBodyBridge_body into two independent axioms Split the `SwitchCaseBodyBridge_body` axiom into two independent, narrower axioms and make `SwitchCaseBodyBridge_body` a proved theorem composing them: 1. `execYulStmtsFuel_setVar_hasSelector_irrelevant` — variable irrelevance: the `__has_selector` dispatch variable is never read by function body statements, so setting it does not change execution. 2. `execYulStmtsFuel_fuel_adequate` — fuel adequacy: the rollback-wrapped result under any fuel budget matches the total execution result. Both axioms are purely Yul-level and do not mention IR types. This increases the total axiom count from 4 to 5 but makes each axiom independently auditable and testable. AXIOMS.md updated with correct numbering (1-5) and trust summary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(proofs): fully prove SwitchCaseBodyBridge and sizeOf_buildSwitch_ge_switchCases Eliminate the SwitchCaseBodyBridge axiom entirely by proving all structural sizeOf bounds mechanically. The key additions: - sizeOf_lt_of_mem: list membership implies strictly smaller sizeOf - sizeOf_switchCaseBody_ge: switchCaseBody fn has sizeOf ≥ fn.body + 2 - sizeOf_switchCases_gt_body: switchCases list sizeOf > any member's body - sizeOf_buildSwitch_ge_switchCases: fully proved structural AST bound - sizeOf_buildSwitch_ge_fn_body: composing the above for fn.body + 12 SwitchCaseBodyBridge is now a proved theorem threading a fuel precondition (hFuelAdequate : fuel ≥ sizeOf fn.body + 5) that is discharged at the call site using sizeOf_buildSwitch_ge_fn_body. The execYulStmtsFuel_fuel_adequate axiom is narrowed to require an explicit h : fuel ≥ sizeOf body + 1 precondition with unwrapped equality. Axiom count in Preservation.lean: 3 → 2.

**Purpose**:
49-
Bridges from the single-function body equivalence theorem to the remaining matched, arity-safe runtime-dispatch execution shape (`switchCaseBody`, `__has_selector`, and rollback shaping after the dispatch guards have been proved to pass).
49+
Variable irrelevance: the dispatch variable `__has_selector` is never read by
50+
function body statements, so adding it to the variable environment does not
51+
change execution. This is a purely Yul-level property: it says
52+
`execYulStmtsFuel fuel (state.setVar "__has_selector" 1) body = execYulStmtsFuel fuel state body`.

**Why this is currently an axiom**:
52-
This remains the last contract-level proof gap between body-level Yul equivalence and full selector-dispatch preservation, but the theorem surface is now smaller than before.
53-
The checked theorem surface now requires both `DispatchGuardsSafe fn tx` and an explicit arity fact `fn.params.length ≤ tx.args.length`.
54-
The short-calldata failure branch is no longer axiomatized: it is proved by the checked helper lemmas `execYulStmtsFuel_cons_continue`, `execYulStmtsFuel_cons_revert`, `exec_callvalueGuard_noop`, `exec_calldatasizeGuard_revert_of_short_noWrap`, `exec_switchCaseBody_revert_of_short`, and `SwitchCaseBodyBridge_short`.
55-
What remains axiomatized is only the matched-case bridge from `interpretYulRuntime fn.body ...` to executing the full `switchCaseBody fn` wrapper after the value guard and calldata-size guard are known to pass.
56-
The remaining blocker is therefore narrower and local: proving the success-path prefix normalization around the leading dispatch comment, optional `callvalueGuard`, and successful `calldatasizeGuard` no-op so the proof can hand control to the already-checked body equivalence theorem without an axiom.
55+
Proving this mechanically requires showing that no subexpression in `body`
56+
evaluates `YulExpr.ident "__has_selector"`. The compiler never emits references
57+
to `__has_selector` inside function bodies (only in the dispatch prelude), but
58+
the proof infrastructure for "variable X is dead in statement list S" is not yet
59+
built.

### 3. `execYulStmtsFuel_fuel_adequate`
65+
66+
**Location**: `Compiler/Proofs/YulGeneration/Preservation.lean:757`
67+
68+
**Statement**:
69+
```lean
70+
private axiom execYulStmtsFuel_fuel_adequate
71+
(body : List YulStmt) (state : YulState) (fuel : Nat)
72+
(h : fuel ≥ sizeOf body + 1) :
73+
execYulStmtsFuel fuel state body = execYulStmts state body
74+
```
75+
76+
**Purpose**:
77+
Fuel adequacy: when the fuel budget is at least `sizeOf body + 1` (the amount
78+
used by `execYulStmts`), fuel-bounded execution gives the same result as total
79+
execution. This is a purely Yul-level fuel-saturation property. The hypothesis
80+
`h` ensures the fuel is sufficient; the equality is unwrapped (not wrapped
81+
in `yulResultOfExecWithRollback`), making this a strictly stronger and more
82+
composable statement than the previous version.
83+
84+
**Why this is currently an axiom**:
85+
The `execYulFuel` engine reuses the same fuel counter across recursive calls
86+
(it is a depth bound, not a countdown), so once fuel exceeds the structural
87+
depth the result stabilizes. Proving this requires a fuel-monotonicity induction
88+
over `execYulFuel` that is understood but not yet mechanized.
89+
90+
**Risk**: Low. Purely Yul-level, does not mention IR types. The property is a
91+
standard fuel-monotonicity / fuel-saturation fact for bounded recursion.
92+
93+
*Note*: The former `SwitchCaseBodyBridge` axiom has been fully eliminated.
94+
`SwitchCaseBodyBridge` is now a proved theorem. It composes:
95+
1. `exec_switchCaseBody_continue_of_long` — proved guard-prefix stepping
96+
2. `SwitchCaseBodyBridge_body` — proved theorem composing axioms #2 and #3
97+
The `sizeOf_buildSwitch_ge_switchCases` structural bound (relating AST nesting
98+
depth to `switchCases` size) is also fully proved mechanically.

## Non-Axiom: Arithmetic Semantics
461515

462516
Wrapping modular arithmetic at 2^256 is **proven**, not assumed. All 15 pure builtins (add, sub, mul, div, mod, lt, gt, eq, iszero, and, or, xor, not, shl, shr) have formal wrapping proofs in `Compiler/Proofs/ArithmeticProfile.lean`. The EVMYulLean bridge currently has universal equivalence lemmas for 15 of them (`add`, `sub`, `mul`, `div`, `mod`, `lt`, `gt`, `eq`, `iszero`, `and`, `or`, `xor`, `not`, `shl`, `shr`) in `Compiler/Proofs/YulGeneration/Backends/EvmYulLeanBridgeLemmas.lean`, with no remaining pure builtins relying only on concrete bridge checks. This is a design choice matching EVM semantics, not a trust assumption. See [`docs/ARITHMETIC_PROFILE.md`](docs/ARITHMETIC_PROFILE.md) for the full specification.
