 **Statement**:
 ```lean
-private axiom SwitchCaseBodyBridge
+private axiom execYulStmtsFuel_setVar_hasSelector_irrelevant
 ```
 
 **Purpose**:
-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).
+Variable irrelevance: the dispatch variable `__has_selector` is never read by
+function body statements, so adding it to the variable environment does not
+change execution. This is a purely Yul-level property: it says
+`execYulStmtsFuel fuel (state.setVar "__has_selector" 1) body = execYulStmtsFuel fuel state body`.
 
 **Why this is currently an axiom**:
-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.
-The checked theorem surface now requires both `DispatchGuardsSafe fn tx` and an explicit arity fact `fn.params.length ≤ tx.args.length`.
-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`.
-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.
-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.
+Proving this mechanically requires showing that no subexpression in `body`
+evaluates `YulExpr.ident "__has_selector"`. The compiler never emits references
+to `__has_selector` inside function bodies (only in the dispatch prelude), but
+the proof infrastructure for "variable X is dead in statement list S" is not yet
+built.
 
-**Risk**: Medium.
+**Risk**: Low. Purely Yul-level, does not mention IR types. The property is
+a standard dead-variable elimination fact.

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