feat(formal): grow P-3 to a real borrow graph (loan edges + move-locality) (#627)
## What **P-3, Wave 1: the real borrow graph.** Replaces `P3_BorrowSound.v`'s single validity bit with the actual shape of a borrow checker — **multiple resources** (each live or moved) and an explicit **borrow graph** of loan edges (reference ↦ the resource it borrows). A deref is valid iff its loan target is still live — the flow-sensitive, Polonius-style (#553) reading: loans are tracked, validity = target liveness *at the point of use*. ## Proven (axiom-free, no `Admitted`) - **`borrow_soundness`** — an accepted program never derefs a dangling reference. - **`borrow_complete`** — the checker rejects *exactly* the use-after-move programs. - **`move_locality`** — the genuine borrow-graph theorem: moving resource `b` cannot change the validity of a deref borrowing some `a ≠ b` (an `OMove` only reaches references whose loan edge points at the moved resource). This is the real, non-trivial content. - **`rejects_554`** — the *multi-resource* #554 program `[ONew 0; OBorrow 0 0; OMove 0; OUseRef 0]` is rejected, matching `lib/borrow.ml`'s post-#554-fix behaviour. Discharges the `Siblings_Stated` P3 statements for the richer model. ## Scope (honest) Still a sequential op model — no aliasing of references, no mutable borrows, no loops/CFG. Those + the real `lib/borrow.ml` control-flow graph are further increments. But the borrow *graph* (loan edges) and target-liveness validity are now real. ## Track status **9 files, 14 closure reports, zero axioms.** `P3_BorrowSound.v` stays as the single-bit seed; `P3_BorrowGraph.v` is the grown model (the K1/K1Let pattern). `justfile`/`_CoqProject` build it; `.hypatia-ignore` extends the Coq-`.v`-isn't-V-lang carve-out; README + `PROOF-NEEDS.adoc` P-3 row updated. ```sh just -f formal/justfile check ``` (P-2 Wave 1 — functions/binders/substitution — is next, as a separate PR.) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01KPG9mEQXFyA3k7NWAzMNMr --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01KPG9mEQXFyA3k7NWAzMNMr)_ Co-authored-by: hyperpolymath <paraordinate@yahoo.co.uk> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

P3_BorrowGraph.v
6+
════════════════
7+
P-3, GROWN (Wave 1). Replaces the single validity bit of P3_BorrowSound.v
8+
with the real shape of a borrow checker: many resources, each live or moved,
9+
and an explicit **borrow graph** of loan edges (reference ↦ the resource it
10+
borrows). A deref is safe iff the resource its loan targets is still live —
11+
the flow-sensitive (Polonius-style, #553) reading: loans are tracked, and a
12+
reference's validity is its target's liveness *at the point of use*.
13+
14+
Proves, axiom-free (no Admitted):
15+
* soundness — an accepted program never derefs a dangling reference;
16+
* completeness — the checker rejects exactly the use-after-move programs;
17+
* move-locality — moving resource b cannot change the validity of a deref
18+
of a reference borrowing some a ≠ b (the genuine borrow-graph property,
19+
a non-trivial theorem about the model);
20+
* the multi-resource #554 program is rejected.
21+
22+
Scope: still a sequential op model (no aliasing of references, no mutable
23+
borrows, no loops); those + the real `lib/borrow.ml` CFG are further Wave-1+
24+
increments. But the borrow *graph* and target-liveness validity are now real.
