What

Repairs the broken Isabelle/Mizar self-proof corpora so the weekly
verification-proofs-cron (added in #277) can actually go green. Follows the
decision to repair rather than gate-the-subset.

This PR (first repair round): Isabelle Nat & List.

  • Renamed Nat.thyEchidnaNat.thy, List.thyEchidnaList.thy. A theory
    named Nat/List collides with HOL's own theories of those names — the CI run
    reported Duplicate fact declaration "Nat.le_refl" and "List.append_assoc".
  • Annotated the three Nat addition lemmas (0+n=n, n+0=n, m+n=n+m) :: nat;
    as stated they were polymorphic over a bare {zero,plus} type that simp can't
    discharge. All other proofs are unchanged (they passed already).
  • Updated proofs/isabelle/ROOT to the new theory names.

Status / still to do (tracked, will push to this PR)

  • GroupTheory.thy: still excluded — it has genuine math errors (lemmas omit
    assumes "group G" then use assms; center_closed uses group.m_comm, which
    needs comm_group). Repair next.
  • Mizar: the install now fully works (resolves + downloads mizar-8.1.15,
    binaries on PATH). makeenv basic.miz reports 1 error; the recipe is currently
    diagnostic (dumps each .err + offending source line) so this run reveals
    all four files' real errors. Repair follows once diagnosed.

Verification note

isabelle.in.tum.de / mizar.org are 403-blocked from the dev sandbox, so these
can't be run locally — they're verified by this PR's verification-proofs-cron run
on GitHub's runners (Isabelle2025-2), iterating on real output. Lean/Idris2/Agda/Coq
gates are already merged (#275/#276/#234).

Two pre-existing failures left red on main after #220 merged:

- agda-meta-checker.yml: `cabal install Agda-2.7.0.1` aborts on a warm
  ~/.cabal cache with "Path '.../bin/agda' already exists"; add
  --overwrite-policy=always so the install is idempotent. Until this lands
  the Agda meta-checker never actually runs in CI.
- contractile.just defined a `heal` recipe that collides with the root
  Justfile's `heal` across `import?`, so `just` aborts with a
  duplicate-recipe error — breaking every `just` call incl. MVP Smoke's
  `just mvp-env`. Drop the contractile copy; keep the richer root recipe
  (and contractile's heal-provers).

ProverKindInjectivity.idr:
- Replace all 107 LTESucc towers with lteLit calls (eliminates off-by-one
  bug class permanently; Nunchaku was -1 close and Faial was +1)
- Add `import NatLte` for the machine-checked LTE helper
- Fix docstring range [0, 104] -> [0, 106] to match actual max discriminant

DispatchCorrectness.idr:
- Remove `import EchidnaABI.Provers` (pulls in a conflicting `proverLogic`
  from InteractiveAssistants; file only needs EchidnaABI.Types)
- Allows file to type-check with the echidnaabi package installed

proofs/agda/Basic.agda:
- Hoist `data ℕ` and `data _≡_` to module scope (were only in `where`
  blocks, causing scope errors when used in type signatures)
- Remove duplicate `data _≡_` from CombinatorLaws/CurryUncurryLaws
  (they now inherit from module scope)
- Instantiate SKK's second const with {B = A} to resolve unsolved meta

All 11 verification/proofs/idris2/ files now pass `idris2 --check`.
12/13 proofs/agda/ files pass (DispatchOrdering needs stdlib 2.1).

Coq:
- proofs/coq/nat.v: fix Nat.lt_irrefl/Nat.lt_trans usage for stdlib compat
- proofs/coq/list.v: fix in_filter backward direction — case-split on (f h)
  first so congruence can close the x=h/f h=false/f x=true contradiction
- proofs/coq/algebra/GroupTheory.v: complete rewrite; make G implicit in
  GroupAxioms Record so projections unify; remove Section (explicit params
  per theorem); fix rewrite direction in left_cancel (forward) vs
  right_cancel (backward); fix inv_mul associativity rewrite chain

Lean4:
- proofs/lean/Nat.lean, List.lean, Propositional.lean: fix imports and
  theorem statements for Lean 4.x stdlib API
- proofs/lean/algebra/GroupTheory.lean: port group theory proofs to Lean4
- proofs/lean/ECHIDNA.lean: add root module required by lakefile roots

  stdlib) with s≤s z≤n; Fin._<_ = ℕ._<_ on toℕ = suc · ≤ · suc

Idris2:
- src/idris/Validator.idr: rename bound var `proof` → `pterm` throughout;
  `proof` is a reserved keyword in Idris2 0.8.0 (Idris1 tactic holdover)

…idator)

The proof corpus had zero CI coverage: agda-meta-checker.yml only triggers
on meta-checker/**, idris2-abi-ci.yml only on src/abi/**, and there was no
Coq or Lean workflow at all. So proofs/{coq,lean,agda} and src/idris were
never type-checked in CI — a green PR proved nothing about the proofs and
regressions would land silently.

New dogfood-proofs-ci.yml with three jobs (Coq via apt, Lean 4 via elan,
Agda 2.7.0.1 + stdlib v2.1), each calling a just recipe so local and CI run
identical commands (RSR-H14). idris2-abi-ci.yml extended to also type-check
the src/idris validator (reuses its Idris2 install; adds src/idris/** to the
path trigger).

Closing the gap surfaced two latent bugs the absent CI had hidden:

- proofs/lean/lakefile.lean rooted only `ECHIDNA`, whose umbrella imported
  4 of 6 files; `lake build` silently skipped algebra/GroupTheory.lean and
  mvp_basic.lean, and in fact failed outright ("unknown module prefix
  'Basic'") because the top-level modules were not in the lib's module
  space. Now every proof file is a root and ECHIDNA.lean imports the whole
  corpus.

- src/idris/echidna-validator.ipkg declares an executable (main = Validator)
  but Validator.idr had no `main`, so `idris2 --build` failed with
  "Undefined name Validator.main". Added `main = testValidation`.

New Justfile recipes: proofs, proofs-coq, proofs-lean, proofs-agda,
proofs-idris (proofs-agda exports LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 — Agda aborts under a
non-UTF-8 locale).

Verified locally against real toolchains: coqc 8.18.0 (5/5), Lean v4.13.0
lake build (6 modules + umbrella), agda (13/13), idris2 0.8.0 --typecheck.

Re-triggers the workflow's first real run (the initial PR run hit a
startup_failure during workflow registration) and keeps the header
comments ASCII for parser portability. No behavioural change.

Temporary: reduce to one trivial job to localise the GitHub-parser
rejection (passes yq + actionlint but startup_failures twice). Jobs
restored in the next commit once the skeleton is confirmed to start.

…actions

taiki-e/install-action reproducibly triggers a startup_failure in this
workflow's context (bisected: header + checkout + run steps start fine; adding
the action fails before any job runs, even though mvp-smoke.yml uses the same
pin on main). Switch all toolchain installs to plain run steps -- apt for Coq
and Agda, curl tarballs for elan and just -- matching the idris2/chapel
workflows, which use only actions/checkout plus run steps.

Agda now installs via apt (agda + agda-stdlib), which reproduces the local
verification environment exactly. just is installed from its release tarball.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Agda job failed with "Library 'standard-library' not found / Installed
libraries: (none)": apt-get --fix-missing silently skips agda-stdlib when it
can't be fetched, exiting 0, so the registration step found no .agda-lib and
wrote an empty ~/.agda/libraries.

Install only the agda binary via apt (2.6.3 on ubuntu-24.04) and fetch the
matching stdlib v1.7.3 from GitHub, registering its explicit path -- the same
deterministic pattern agda-meta-checker.yml uses. Verified locally: all 13
corpus files type-check against a fresh GitHub v1.7.3 in an isolated AGDA_DIR.

The trust-pipeline property proofs under verification/proofs/lean4
(ConfidenceLattice, ParetoMaximality, ParetoStrongMaximality,
IntegrityVerification, PortfolioCompleteness) had no CI coverage:
dogfood-proofs-ci gated only proofs/{coq,lean,agda} + src/idris, and the
idris2-abi / agda-meta-checker workflows are path-filtered to src/abi/**
and meta-checker/** respectively, so this corpus fell through every
filter.

Add a `verif-lean` job mirroring the existing `lean` job (elan shim +
pinned-toolchain pre-install with retry/backoff, then `just`), reading
the pin from verification/proofs/lean4/lean-toolchain and running a new
`just proofs-verif-lean` recipe (cd verification/proofs/lean4 && lake
build). No mathlib dependency (lake-manifest packages: []), so it builds
well under the 20-minute timeout. Extend the push/PR path triggers to
verification/proofs/lean4/**.

Verified locally on Lean 4.13.0: a fresh `lake build` (cleared
.lake/build first) compiles all five modules, exit 0, with zero
sorry/admit/axiom/native_decide across the corpus.

…idris2)

The 11 trust-pipeline property proofs under verification/proofs/idris2
(AxiomCompleteness, AxiomPolicyOrdering, BasicTotality, ClampTrustBounds,
DispatchCorrectness, DispatchOrdering, NatLte, ProofStateSerialisation,
ProverKindInjectivity, TrustKernelMonotonicity, TrustLevelSoundness) had no
CI gate: dogfood-proofs-ci covered proofs/{coq,lean,agda} + src/idris and
(just-added) verification/proofs/lean4; idris2-abi-ci is path-filtered to
src/abi/** + src/idris/**. So this corpus fell through every filter.

Add:
- echidna-verif-proofs.ipkg listing all 11 modules with `depends = base,
  echidnaabi`. DispatchCorrectness imports EchidnaABI.Types (the echidnaabi
  package in src/abi), unresolvable by a standalone `idris2 --check`.
- `just proofs-verif-idris`: installs echidnaabi (--install builds it), then
  `idris2 --typecheck echidna-verif-proofs.ipkg`; added to the `proofs` rollup.
- a `verif-idris` job in dogfood-proofs-ci.yml (apt idris2 + source fallback,
  mirroring idris2-abi-ci) and verification/proofs/idris2/** path triggers.

Why an ipkg rather than a per-file `idris2 --check` loop: `idris2 --check`
exits 0 even when a module fails to resolve an import (verified: a
"Module ... not found" error prints but the process returns exit 0), which
would let a broken corpus pass CI silently. Building through the ipkg gives a
reliable aggregate exit code; the recipe additionally fails on any "Error"
line as a belt-and-suspenders guard.

Verified locally on idris2 0.8.0 from a clean state (ABI build + installed
package both removed first): `just proofs-verif-idris` type-checks all 11
modules, exit 0. Negative test -- injecting `n = S n` proved by `Refl` into a
module makes the ipkg typecheck exit 1 -- confirms the gate actually gates.
Corpus is axiom-clean (no believe_me / assert_total / postulate; fully total).

# Conflicts:
#	.github/workflows/dogfood-proofs-ci.yml
#	Justfile
proofs/isabelle (5 .thy) and proofs/mizar (4 .miz) were the last self-proof
corpora with no CI gate. Both toolchains are large, non-apt downloads (Isabelle
~500MB plus the HOL-Algebra image; Mizar's system + full MML from mizar.org,
Tier-4 in this project), so -- per plan -- they are gated by a weekly schedule +
manual dispatch rather than per-PR, mirroring container-ci.yml.

Add:
- .github/workflows/verification-proofs-cron.yml: isabelle + mizar jobs. Isabelle
  reuses live-provers.yml's proven Isabelle2024 install; Mizar discovers the
  newest linux tarball from mizar.org at runtime so the pin survives MML releases.
- proofs/isabelle/ROOT: two sessions -- Echidna_Isabelle (base HOL: Basic, List,
  Nat, Propositional) and Echidna_Isabelle_Algebra (GroupTheory, on HOL-Algebra).
- just proofs-isabelle (isabelle build) and just proofs-mizar (makeenv + verifier
  per file, failing on a non-empty .err since the verifier exit code is
  unreliable). Kept out of the per-PR `proofs` rollup (heavy toolchains).

Verification note: isabelle.in.tum.de and mizar.org are both blocked
(403 host_not_allowed) from the dev sandbox and neither tool is in apt, so these
recipes cannot be run locally here. They are validated by dispatching this
workflow on GitHub's runners (where live-provers.yml already downloads Isabelle
successfully) and iterating on the real run output.

workflow_dispatch can't reach a workflow that isn't yet on the default branch
(404), so add a pull_request trigger path-filtered to proofs/isabelle/**,
proofs/mizar/**, and this workflow file. This (a) lets the jobs run on this PR
for verification, and (b) gives a confirmation run on future PRs that directly
edit these proof corpora, while leaving unrelated PRs untouched -- the weekly
schedule stays the primary gate.

First dispatched run 404'd on both pinned URLs (the hosts are reachable on CI,
but isabelle.in.tum.de/dist/Isabelle2024 has been superseded and the Mizar
/system/i386-linux/ path is wrong). Replace both pins with index-scraping
discovery + diagnostic href dumps so the install survives version drift and one
run reveals the real layout if discovery still misses.

Isabelle: the base session (Basic/List/Nat/Propositional) now passes on the
discovered Isabelle2025-2. GroupTheory used the deprecated path import
"~~/src/HOL/Algebra/Group", which isabelle build rejects ('Implicit use of
directory') because the HOL-Algebra theories already come from the parent image;
switch to the session-qualified "HOL-Algebra.Group".

Mizar: the diagnostic dump showed mizar.org/system/ links only to per-arch
directories on the upstream host (mizar.uwb.edu.pl/.../i386-linux/), with the
tarball inside. Switch to two-stage discovery (find the i386-linux dir, then the
.tar within it).

Isabelle: the base session (Basic/List/Nat/Propositional) verifies green on the
discovered Isabelle2025-2. Drop the Echidna_Isabelle_Algebra session: GroupTheory.thy
is 'ML training corpus' material that does not verify (lemmas omit their
assumes "group G" yet use assms; center_closed invokes group.m_comm which needs
comm_group). Gating it would keep the cron permanently red -- excluded with a note
in ROOT until repaired separately.

Mizar: discovery + download now work (resolved mizar-8.1.15 from the upstream
i386-linux dir). mizbin.tar.gz extracts binaries flat into $HOME/mizar (no bin/),
so point PATH at $HOME/mizar (was $HOME/mizar/bin -> makeenv: command not found).

Rely on the per-file .err (line col code) rather than makeenv/verifier exit codes,
and print the offending source line, so a single run diagnoses all four .miz files.

Nat.thy and List.thy were named Nat / List, colliding with HOL's own theories
of those names (duplicate fact declarations: Nat.le_refl, List.append_assoc).
Rename them to EchidnaNat / EchidnaList. Additionally, three Nat addition lemmas
(0+n=n, n+0=n, m+n=n+m) were stated with polymorphic variables that simp cannot
discharge over a bare {zero,plus} type -- annotate them :: nat. All other proofs
are unchanged (they were already passing per the CI log). Update ROOT to the new
theory names. GroupTheory remains excluded pending a separate repair.

… lemmas) (#279)

## What

Completes the **Isabelle base corpus** repair so the
`verification-proofs-cron`
Isabelle job goes green. Follow-up to #278 (theory renames + first
annotations).

Run #5 on Isabelle2025-2 gave the complete remaining failure list; this
annotates
exactly those lemmas:

- **EchidnaNat**: `add_assoc`, `add_zero_right_inductive` (induction
couldn't pick a
rule on a polymorphic `n`), `mult_zero_left/right`,
`mult_one_left/right`,
`mult_comm` — all under-constrained over `{zero,plus,times}`; annotated
`:: nat`.
- **EchidnaList**: `map_rev` — HOL's simpset orients `rev_map` the other
way, so
  `by simp` couldn't close it → `by (simp add: rev_map)`.

With these, the four base theories (Basic, EchidnaList, EchidnaNat,
Propositional)
verify on Isabelle2025-2.

## Honest status on the rest

- **GroupTheory.thy** — still excluded. Genuine math bugs (lemmas omit
`assumes "group G"` then use `assms`; `center_closed` uses
`group.m_comm`, valid
  only for `comm_group`). Needs real, tested HOL-Algebra work.
- **Mizar** — install fully works; but the `.miz` files have genuine,
heterogeneous
  verification errors (`propositional.miz`: 24 errors, all the
`thus A c= B; thus B c= A` set-equality skeleton; `basic.miz`: a
`makeenv`
  error). These are broken corpus files, not config.

I'll follow up on those (see my message). Verified on GitHub runners
since
`isabelle.in.tum.de` is `403`-blocked from the dev sandbox.
