Clarifies the canonical Agda --safe --without-K --cubical-compatible invocation, Rocq/Lean witness rechecking, proof provenance, and status limits. This is documentation of the current checking boundary, not a claim that Hypatia's present CI runs Agda or Coq. No runtime behavior changed.

- Around line 17-18: Update the inventory guidance in PROOF-STATUS.adoc to
require transporting the Agda witness to Rocq/Coq and Lean first, allowing
re-proof only when transport is unavailable or unsupported. Require each target
recheck entry to record whether it was transported or re-proved and, for
re-proof, the reason, while retaining the existing correspondence, checker,
invocation, receipt, and digest fields.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified which proof systems apply to interface contracts, runtime obligations and implementation-independent theory.
    • Set requirements for Agda checks and for recording evidence when results are rechecked in other systems.
    • Clarified that translation alone does not constitute proof, and that missing or unsuccessful checks do not establish a theorem as proven or refuted.
    • Documented current CI coverage and the distinction between this proof inventory and the canonical policy.

The proof status inventory assigns proof-system roles, defines requirements for Agda checks and target rechecks, and distinguishes documented policy from current CI verification.

Changes: Proof status policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Proof-system roles and evidence requirements
verification/PROOF-STATUS.adoc
The inventory assigns Idris2 to interface and ABI contracts, Creusot and SPARK to runtime obligations, and Agda as the primary target for implementation-independent theory. It defines recheck evidence requirements and clarifies current CI coverage and the status of existing Lean proofs.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 8b432

This documentation-only update can lead contributors to follow weaker provenance rules than the canonical proof policy requires. Aligning the wording and the recorded fields before merge is a small change, and nothing at runtime is affected.

Pre-merge checks: Passed 4
Check name Status Explanation
Title check Passed The title clearly identifies a documentation change that aligns Hypatia proof evidence with the Agda reconciliation policy. It is concise and related to the main change.
Description check Passed The description accurately describes the documentation changes, the current checking boundary, and the absence of runtime changes. It is related to the changeset.
Linked Issues check Passed Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check Passed Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.

P2 Badge Make Rocq and Lean re-proofs fallback-only

For a theory proof whose Dedukti transport route is available, this or allows contributors to skip transport and immediately write independent Rocq and Lean proofs. The linked canonical policy §2 instead requires transport first and permits manual re-proof only when a construct or pinned exporter lacks a route, with the reason recorded; preserve that constraint here so the summary does not authorize weaker reconciliation evidence.

P2 Badge Migrate the inventory to the canonical status vocabulary

Once this line makes the canonical policy authoritative, the inventory below remains incompatible with its closed PROVEN / PROVEN-WITH-AXIOMS / TESTED / ASSUMED / OPEN vocabulary because its first tables still report COMPLETE and PARTIAL. Most concretely, the canonical policy's TLA+ exception names this repository's KinGate.tla artifact and requires its bounded model check to be TESTED, while this inventory calls it COMPLETE; migrate these rows so readers and ledger consumers do not receive an unknown or overstated status.

P2 Badge Include engineering properties in the Idris2 mapping

For repository-specific engineering obligations that are neither cross-language contracts nor properties of first-party Rust or Ada code—such as the pipeline-state, quarantine, and rollback properties already inventoried below—this summary provides no mapped verifier and can misclassify them as Agda theory. The canonical policy §1 explicitly assigns APIs, ABIs, and engineering properties to Idris2, deferring only Rust/Ada implementation behavior to Creusot/SPARK; retain that engineering-property category here.

P2 Badge Remove the Mathlib-based follow-up plan

When work resumes on the PageRank or echo-state obligations, this declaration sends contributors to the canonical policy while the same inventory still says both theorems are in progress with Mathlib (lines 123 and 127, repeated in the summary near line 385). The canonical rechecking policy explicitly disallows Mathlib in Lean or elsewhere and requires missing lemmas to be reproved in the core library, so leaving those plans in the now-canonical inventory directs future work toward a noncompliant proof dependency.

…vidence (#1387)

## Scope

Extends the existing canonical proof policy rather than creating an
alternative standard.

- Mandates `agda --safe --without-K --cubical-compatible` for
first-party theory checking.
- Requires per-theorem provenance, actual checker runs and separate
Rocq/Coq and Lean witness legs.
- States that an accepted translated witness is not independent proof of
the source statement without statement and assumption correspondence.
- Preserves historical evidence and the existing closed proof-status
vocabulary; conversion failure is not theorem refutation.
- Keeps Proof Burrower independently useful and ECHIDNA the eventual
reconciliation coordinator.

## Implementation

See
[proof-burrower#119](hyperpolymath/proof-burrower#119)
and [hypatia#994](hyperpolymath/hypatia#994).
