+
+-- A concrete `Tolerance` + `PseudoMetric` instance for `EchoApprox.Approx`,
+-- whose sole purpose is to give `Smoke.agda` a typeable identifier per
+-- headline lemma of the parameterised `EchoApprox.Approx` module.
+--
+-- Repo invariant (`CLAUDE.md`, "Working rules"):
+--
+--     "Every headline theorem must be pinned in `Smoke.agda` via
+--      `using` clause."
+--
+-- Lemmas living inside the parameterised submodule `EchoApprox.Approx`
+-- cannot be named in `Smoke.agda` until *some* `PseudoMetric` is
+-- supplied, so the invariant is silently violated for every
+-- `echo-approx-*` and `echo-strict→approx` lemma. This module closes
+-- that gap.
+--
+-- Design call: the trivial / collapse-to-strict pseudometric on `⊤`.
+--
+--   * `Tol`     := `⊤`,  `zero` := `tt`,  `_+_` := `λ _ _ → tt`
+--   * `_≤_`     := `λ _ _ → ⊤`
+--   * `dist`    := `λ _ _ → tt` on the carrier `B := ⊤`
+--
+-- Every order / monotonicity / triangle obligation discharges to `tt`.
+-- Every approximate echo `EchoR ε f y = Σ A (λ x → dist (f x) y ≤ ε)`
+-- collapses to `Σ A (λ _ → ⊤)`, so each pinned lemma here is a trivial
+-- sanity check that the parameterised module's term is well-typed at
+-- *some* instance. That is exactly the hygiene contract the invariant
+-- asks for — proof-of-life, not new content.
+--
+-- We choose `A := ⊤` and `B := ⊤` so each pinned name resolves to a
+-- single top-level identifier with no remaining type parameters, which
+-- lets `Smoke.agda` enumerate them in a `using` clause one-for-one.
+--
+-- A non-trivial pseudometric (e.g. the discrete metric over `Bool`)
+-- would also work, but adds nothing the trivial one does not give for
+-- the purposes of `Smoke.agda` pinning. When a genuine metric instance
+-- lands in the repo, the per-lemma pins below can be re-pointed at it.
