From a8ac8674188f392eb267acd9dba88c5625e23145 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2026 21:50:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] abi: prove linear-pointer memory safety (Layer 2 Semantics) Flagship semantic proof: a pointer with explicit Live/Freed state; an `Accessible` permission with a constructor only for Live pointers, so use-after-free and double-free are unrepresentable. `free` consumes a Live pointer (with its witness) into a Freed one. Sound+complete Dec, certifier soundness, positive + negative controls. Verified with idris2 0.7.0 (build clean, zero warnings) + adversarial false-proof rejection.
