What this is

033193c (#821) deleted the six duplicated src/abi/*.idr modules. Its title
says it "repointed every reference"; it did not. Eight references to the deleted
files survived on main. This PR closes that gap and corrects what the
references were saying.

Acceptance test, measured both sides:

git grep -nE 'src/abi/[A-Za-z]+\.idr' -- . ':!data/'
hits
origin/main @ 0aa8972 8
this branch 1

The one remaining hit is test/unified-api-adapter-contract_test.exs:11, which
names the dead path in the past tense as a comment explaining why the guard
was repointed in #120. That is history and is correct.

What is deliberately not touched

  • Every directory-level src/abi/ reference stays. The directory legitimately
    survives — it holds hypatia-abi.ipkg, hypatia-abi-gen.ipkg and a README.
    verify-proofs.yml's src/abi/** paths filter is therefore still correct, and
    no workflow file is modified by this PR.
  • data/verisim/** telemetry, which records events about a different repo and
    names files that never existed in hypatia. Rewriting event records would falsify
    them.
  • The past-tense sites in docs/DEBT-REGISTER.adoc, test/zig_ffi_smoke_test.exs
    and docs/proofs/HANDOVER-neural-convergence.adoc.

The four files

ffi/zig/src/main.zig:4 pointed at src/abi/Foreign.idr — wrong in two
ways, since no file of that name has ever existed under either directory.
Repointed to src/Hypatia/ABI/FFI.idr, where FFIFunction and
ffiReturnsApiResponse actually live.

verification/PROOF-STATUS.adoc — the six ABI rows repointed to
src/Hypatia/ABI/. Each content claim was re-verified against the live module
before being carried across, rather than relocated blind:

Row Claim Verdict
Types.idr "Confidence refined type" true — {auto prf : So (value >= 0.0 && value <= 1.0)}
Types.idr "Severity ordering" FALSE — replaced
RuleEngine.idr all six properties true — Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8
GraphQL.idr / GRPC.idr / REST.idr / FFI.idr as written true

The Types.idr "Severity ordering" claim is contradicted by that module's own
comment at lines 157-159: "has never existed in this module; connectorCount
is the real pin."
Replaced with the property the module does prove,
connectorCount : length allConnectors = 16.

The hand-written LOC column is deleted from both inventory tables, with the
two derived total lines and the duplicate "File Locations" file tree. Every one
of the twenty figures was wrong:

File documented actual
GRPC.idr ~150 64
GraphQL.idr ~200 93
REST.idr ~150 95
FFI.idr ~100 66
Types.idr 140 250
VerisimdbConnector.idr ~110 175
KinGate.tla ~130 198
…and 13 more

Nothing consumes them, so they are pure drift surface. A NOTE in the document
records why the column is gone, so it is not helpfully restored.

verification/README.adoc had two real bugs: a link to PROOF-STATUS.md,
which does not exist, and a build line cd src/abi && idris2 --build hypatia-verify.ipkg that is wrong in both directory and mechanism. Replaced
with what CI actually runs — the per-file idris2 --check loop at
.github/workflows/verify-proofs.yml:100-107 — plus the three real packages.

.machine_readable/INTENT.contractile:45 repointed. Checked first that
SD022 in lib/rules/structural_drift.ex tests directory existence only and
never a content claim, so this edit has no consumer and breaks no test.

On #816

This advances #816 on ACs 1-3 and does not close it.

  • AC1 asked for LOC re-derived from wc -l. Superseded: measuring proved
    every figure wrong, so the column is deleted rather than re-derived. Rationale
    in a comment on the issue.
  • AC2 (correct paths) and AC3 (name connectorCount = Refl) land here.
  • AC4 demands a live CI check and AC5 a mutant proving it red. Neither can
    be satisfied in this PR — see the issue comment for the measurement.

Related findings, filed as issues rather than folded in

Per the standing rule that a new finding is an issue, not a merge blocker:

  1. hypatia's entire ExUnit suite is dead in CI — the repo's only mix test sits
    in a job whose needs: points at a permanently failing one, so it resolves to
    skipped.
  2. tests.yml is startup_failure on main, and governance / Actions lockfile verify is red there, both since the Dependabot pin bumps in chore(deps): bump the actions group across 1 directory with 4 updates #830.

…OC drift surface

PR #821 deleted the six duplicated `src/abi/*.idr` modules but, despite its
title, did not repoint every reference: 8 survived on main.

  git grep -nE 'src/abi/[A-Za-z]+\.idr' -- . ':!data/'
  before: 8 hits    after: 1 hit

The single remaining hit is `test/unified-api-adapter-contract_test.exs:11`,
which names the dead path in the past tense as history. That is correct and is
left alone, as are every directory-level `src/abi/` reference: the directory
legitimately survives, holding `hypatia-abi.ipkg`, `hypatia-abi-gen.ipkg` and
a README. `verify-proofs.yml`'s `src/abi/**` paths filter is therefore still
right and no workflow is touched.

Changes:

* `ffi/zig/src/main.zig:4` named `src/abi/Foreign.idr` — wrong in two ways, as
  no file of that name ever existed under either directory. Repointed to
  `src/Hypatia/ABI/FFI.idr`, which is where `FFIFunction` and
  `ffiReturnsApiResponse` actually live.

* `verification/PROOF-STATUS.adoc`: the six ABI rows repointed to
  `src/Hypatia/ABI/`. Every content claim was re-verified against the live
  modules before being carried across; five of six were accurate and are kept
  verbatim. One was false — `Types.idr`'s "Severity ordering", contradicted by
  that module's own comment at lines 157-159 ("has never existed in this
  module; connectorCount is the real pin"). Replaced with the claim the module
  does prove, `connectorCount : length allConnectors = 16`.

  The hand-written LOC column is deleted from both inventory tables, along with
  the two derived total lines and the duplicate "File Locations" file tree.
  All twenty LOC figures were wrong, several by more than 100% (GRPC.idr
  recorded ~150, actual 64), and nothing consumes them. A NOTE records why, so
  the column is not helpfully restored.

* `verification/README.adoc`: `PROOF-STATUS.md` does not exist and the link was
  broken — corrected to `.adoc`. The build line `cd src/abi && idris2 --build
  hypatia-verify.ipkg` was wrong in both directory and mechanism; replaced with
  what CI actually runs, the per-file `idris2 --check` loop from
  `.github/workflows/verify-proofs.yml:100-107`, plus the three real packages.

* `.machine_readable/INTENT.contractile:45` repointed. Checked first that
  SD022 tests directory existence only and never content, so this edit has no
  consumer and breaks no test.

Advances #816 on acceptance criteria 1-3. AC1's literal "re-derive LOC from
wc -l" is superseded by deleting the column; ACs 4-5 need a live CI check and
a mutant and cannot be satisfied here - see the issue comment.

## The half of the defect a filename regex cannot see

PR #835 corrected every reference naming a specific `src/abi/*.idr`
**file** —
8 hits, driven down to 1 (past-tense history). But a `.idr`-filename
regex is
blind to the other half of the same defect: **prose that names the
directory and
asserts it contains the Idris2 ABI**. Those claims are just as false,
and #835
left all eight standing.

`src/abi/` holds exactly three files:

```
src/abi/README.adoc
src/abi/hypatia-abi-gen.ipkg
src/abi/hypatia-abi.ipkg
```

The modules live in `src/Hypatia/ABI/`. The ipkg sets `sourcedir =
".."`, which
is why build lines legitimately still name `src/abi/` — and why a naive
search-and-replace across the path would have broken the build
documentation.

## Corrected — 8 sites, each read in context first

| File | Was |
|---|---|
| `docs/EXPLAINME.adoc:76` | ``src/abi/` — formal specs for GraphQL,
gRPC, REST with dependent type proofs` |
| `docs/EXPLAINME.adoc:119` | `` `src/abi/` \| Idris2 specs (Types,
GraphQL, gRPC, REST, FFI)`` |
| `docs/operations/prover-wars-integration.adoc:39` | `Idris2 ABI
definitions in `src/abi/` already export` |
| `docs/proofs/gap-analysis.adoc:79` | ``+src/abi/+`, `+verify/src/+`` |
| `docs/quickstart/llm-warmup-dev.adoc:117` | `==== Idris2 ABI
(src/abi/)` |
| `docs/quickstart/llm-warmup-user.adoc:47` | `` `+src/abi/+` \| Idris2
ABI definitions`` |
| `docs/quickstart/user.adoc:43` | `Idris2 >= 0.7.0 (for ABI definitions
in `src/abi/`)` |
| `docs/wiki-pages/Architecture.md:102` | `**Idris2 ABI** (`src/abi/`) —
`Types.idr`, `GraphQL.idr`, …` |

Two **stated counts** were wrong in the same sentences and are fixed
with them.
The dev warmup said "5 modules" and EXPLAINME/Architecture enumerated
five;
there are **seven** live modules — `RuleEngine.idr` and `Gen.idr` (added
by
#120) were missing from every list.

## Correcting an overclaim #835 introduced

The `NOTE` #835 added to `verification/PROOF-STATUS.adoc` read *"every
one of the
twenty previously recorded here had gone wrong."* That is itself false.
**Sixteen** were wrong; four tilde-approximations landed within two
lines:

| File | documented | actual |
|---|---|---|
| `PageRankInvariants` | ~120 | 120 |
| `ESNSpectralScaling` | ~145 | 144 |
| `BayesianUpdate` | ~190 | 188 |
| `ParserTotality` | ~190 | 191 |

The conclusion is unchanged — 16/20 wrong, several by more than double,
and
nothing consumed the column — but a false count inside a note about
false counts
is not acceptable in either direction. The NOTE now says sixteen and
states what
the other four were.

## Deliberately NOT changed — each verified correct as written

- **`verify-proofs.yml` paths filters, `Justfile`, `stapeln.toml`, every
`idris2 --build src/abi/*.ipkg` line** — `src/abi/` is genuinely where
the
  packages live.
- **`docs/DEBT-REGISTER.adoc`,
`docs/proofs/HANDOVER-neural-convergence.adoc`,
`test/unified-api-adapter-contract_test.exs`** — past-tense records of
the
deleted duplicates. Correct *precisely because* they name the old path.
- **`lib/rules/structural_drift.ex:1130`** — quotes *gitbot-fleet's*
INTENT file
  as measured evidence for an SD022 defect. Not a claim about this repo.
- **`.claude/CLAUDE.md`'s "the two `.ipkg` files"** — accurate. There
are two in
  `src/abi/`; the third Idris2 package is `verify/hypatia-verify.ipkg`,
  elsewhere.

## Acceptance

```
git grep -n 'src/abi/' -- . ':!data/' | grep -iE 'idris|proof|\.idr|module'
```

→ 20 hits, every one an ipkg/build reference, past-tense history, or the
`src/abi/README.adoc` title. **No false claim survives.**

All seven edited AsciiDoc files re-render clean under
`asciidoctor --failure-level=WARN`.

Refs #816.
