Summary

Layer 3 (second, deeper invariant): proves compositionality of inductive invariants — the conjunction of two inductive invariants is itself inductive, so independently-verified safety properties compose. Distinct from and deeper than the Layer-2 single-invariant soundness theorem.

New module Tlaiser.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.

Add a flagship machine-checked semantic proof raising the Tlaiser Idris2 ABI
to Layer 2. Models a two-process lock-based mutual-exclusion state machine (the
canonical PlusCal example) with an Init predicate, a nondeterministic Step
relation, and an inductive Reachable closure.

Headline theorem (safetySound): mutual exclusion (Safe) holds on every
reachable state. The engine is invInductive (TLA+ INV1): a strengthened,
genuinely inductive invariant Inv that couples "process is Critical" to
"process holds the lock" holds initially (initEstablishes) and is preserved by
every transition (stepPreserves), hence holds on all reachable states; Safe is
derived from Inv (invImpliesSafe).

Includes a sound+complete Dec (decSafe), a Result-valued certifier with
soundness (certifyReachableSound), a positive control (a real reachable
Critical state, proven Safe) and negative controls (the (Critical,Critical)
state has no Safe proof and is unreachable). The "both critical" bad case has
no constructor, so a deliberately false safety witness is rejected by idris2
(non-vacuity verified).

Builds clean (idris2 0.7.0, zero warnings).

…inductive)

Add Tlaiser.ABI.Invariants, a deeper, distinct machine-checked theorem built
over the SAME Layer-2 state-machine model (St/Init/Step/Reachable/Inv in
Tlaiser.ABI.Semantics; no datatypes redefined).

Layer-2 proved INV1 for one hand-crafted invariant. Layer-3 proves the
meta-theorem that licenses modular invariant construction in TLA+/TLAPS:

  andInductive : IsInductive p -> IsInductive q -> IsInductive (And p q)
  "the conjunction of two inductive invariants is itself inductive."

Contents:
- IsInductive p: the two INV1 premises (established by Init, preserved by Step)
  packaged as a first-class value so inductiveness can be combined.
- inductiveOnReachable: generic INV1 (any inductive p holds on all reachable
  states), proved once polymorphically.
- andInductive: the headline composition theorem.
- HolderCrit: a SECOND, independent concrete invariant ("the lock holder is
  Critical"), proved inductive from scratch (holderInit + holderStep over the
  existing Step relation), packaged as holderIsInductive.
- combinedIsInductive / combinedOnReachable: Inv and HolderCrit composed via
  andInductive, yielding the conjunction on every reachable state with no new
  induction.
- decHolderCrit: sound + complete Dec for the second invariant; certifyHolder
  reuses the Result ABI; certifyHolderReachableSound ties it together.
- Controls: positive (inhabited reachable witness of the conjunction +
  decided Ok), negative (Not (HolderCrit (Idle,Idle,HeldBy0))), and a
  distinctness/non-vacuity control (HolderCrit holds but Inv fails on
  (Critical,Critical,Free) — proving the two predicates are genuinely
  different).

Clean build, zero warnings; adversarial false statements rejected. No
believe_me/postulate/assert_total/idris_crash. %default total throughout.
