+||| Deeper algebraic invariants for Dafniser (Idris2 ABI Layer 3).
+|||
+||| Layer 2 (`Dafniser.ABI.Semantics`) proves a single generated function —
+||| `max` over `Nat` — meets its declared postcondition.  That is the
+||| correct-by-construction guarantee for ONE function in isolation.
+|||
+||| Layer 3 goes deeper.  Correct-by-construction code generation is only
+||| trustworthy if the generated operators obey the *algebraic laws* a human
+||| would expect of them, and if *families* of generated functions relate to
+||| one another correctly.  This module establishes three such properties over
+||| the SAME model (`MaxPost` / `genMax` from `Semantics`, reused unchanged):
+|||
+|||   (1) COMMUTATIVITY of the max contract — a relational algebraic law:
+|||       `MaxPost a b r  <->  MaxPost b a r`.  The contract does not depend on
+|||       argument order.  This is NOT the Layer-2 theorem (which is about a
+|||       single fixed argument order); it is a structural symmetry of the spec.
+|||
+|||   (2) A DUAL generated function — `min` — built correct-by-construction in
+|||       exactly the Layer-2 style (`MinPost` / `genMin`), proven to meet its
+|||       own postcondition.  A second, distinct checker.
+|||
+|||   (3) A min/max DUALITY theorem tying the two operators together:
+|||       `max a b + min a b = a + b`.  This is the deepest result here — it is
+|||       a property of the *pair* of generated functions, provable only because
+|||       both meet their contracts.  It is the kind of cross-function lemma Z3
+|||       would have to discharge for a Dafny program that uses both.
+|||
+||| The proofs are genuine: every proposition is built from propositional `LTE`
+||| and equalities, the bad cases are uninhabited, there is a sound + complete
+||| `Dec` for the new contract, and both a positive (inhabited witness) and a
+||| negative (`Not (...)`) control are machine-checked.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- (1) Commutativity of the max contract  (relational algebraic law)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| The max postcondition is symmetric in its two inputs: a correct maximum of
+||| `a` and `b` is also a correct maximum of `b` and `a`.  This is a genuine
+||| algebraic law about the *contract*, distinct from the Layer-2 claim that a
+||| particular generated body satisfies the contract.

+maxPostComm (FromRight geB) = FromLeft geB    -- r = b; b dominates a  ==>  for (b,a), r = b is the left input
+
+||| Commutativity is an involution: applying it twice is the identity.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| The postcondition of the generated `min` function, as a real proposition.
+||| `MinPost a b r` holds exactly when `r` is a correct minimum of `a` and `b`:
+||| it is dominated by both inputs and is equal to one of them.  As with
+||| `MaxPost`, the type itself is the contract — no incorrect minimum inhabits it.
