+   QttTyping.v
+   ═══════════
+   Wave 3 (capstone): a **quantitative type system** that fuses the three Wave-1/2
+   pieces — the term structure + typing discipline of P2_Stlc, the multiplicity
+   semiring of QttSemiring, and the occurrence-count usage of AffineUsage — into
+   one judgment whose context *tracks quantities*.
+
+   `qtt Γ t A` : Γ : uctx (a usage context, var ↦ quantity) records how much each
+   variable is used in t. Q_Var consumes one variable once; Q_App ADDS the two
+   subcontexts (`Γ₁ + Γ₂`, the QTT context-splitting read backwards); Q_Lam binds
+   a variable at the multiplicity it is used.
+
+   The capstone theorem **usage_soundness**: the typing context records EXACTLY
+   the QTT usage of every variable —
+
+       qtt Γ t A  →  ∀ x, usage x t = Γ x
+
+   — so the type system's quantity bookkeeping is sound w.r.t. actual occurrence
+   counts. Corollary **linear_uses_once**: a term typed in a singleton context
+   uses exactly that one variable, exactly once. Axiom-free, no Admitted.
+
+   Scope: the *static* quantity discipline is now unified and proven sound
+   against usage. Operational progress+preservation that PRESERVES the quantity
+   accounting under reduction (the dynamic half) is the remaining step.
+
