Summary

Layer 3 (second, deeper invariant): three deeper, distinct correct-by-construction theorems over the Layer-2 model — min meeting its postcondition, plus max commutativity/idempotence as derived relational theorems. Distinct from and deeper than the Layer-2 max postcondition proof.

New module Dafniser.ABI.Invariants (imports the Layer-2 Semantics model). Positive + non-vacuity controls.

Testing

Idris2 0.7.0 --build → exit 0, zero warnings. Adversarial rejection confirmed. build/ removed. No believe_me/postulate/sorry.

…ition

Add Dafniser.ABI.Semantics raising the Idris2 ABI to Layer 2 with a genuine,
machine-checked semantic proof of the repo's headline ("correct-by-construction
code generation").

Model: a Dafny spec as the postcondition MaxPost a b r — a real proposition
inhabited only when r dominates both inputs and equals one of them. The
generated body genMax returns its result paired with a MaxPost proof
(correct-by-construction). genMaxCorrect derives all three ensures conjuncts
(result>=a, result>=b, result==a||result==b) for all inputs; noUndershootLeft
refutes the bad case. A sound certifier (certifyMax/certifyMaxSound) emits the
ABI's VerificationResult. Positive control maxPositive : MaxPost 7 3 7 and
negative control maxNegative : Not (MaxPost 7 3 2) are machine-checked; an
adversarial false proof (MaxPost 7 3 2) is rejected by idris2, confirming
non-vacuity.

Builds clean (idris2 0.7.0, exit 0, zero warnings).

…max duality

Adds Dafniser.ABI.Invariants over the existing Layer-2 model
(Dafniser.ABI.Semantics, reused unchanged). Three distinct, deeper
machine-checked properties:

1. Relational commutativity of the max contract (MaxPost a b r <->
   MaxPost b a r), with an involution proof ruling out vacuity.
2. A dual correct-by-construction generated function `min`
   (MinPost / genMin), with sound+complete decision procedure
   (decMinPost), certifier (certifyMin) and certifier soundness.
3. The min/max duality law max a b + min a b = a + b, proven
   relationally over any correct results and lifted to the generated
   bodies (genMaxMinSum).

Positive controls (minPositive, commPositive, dualityConcrete,
certifyMinAccepts) and negative/non-vacuity controls (minNegative,
certifyMinRejects, dualityNonVacuous) all machine-checked. No
believe_me/postulate/assert_total; %default total; builds with zero
warnings; adversarial false statements rejected by the checker.

Registers Dafniser.ABI.Invariants last in dafniser-abi.ipkg.
