+||| Layer 5 — the end-to-end ABI SOUNDNESS CERTIFICATE for Dafniser.
+|||
+||| Layers 2-4 each discharge one obligation of the Dafniser ABI in isolation:
+|||
+|||   * Layer 2 (`Dafniser.ABI.Semantics`) — the flagship correct-by-construction
+|||     property: the generated `max` body meets its Dafny `ensures`
+|||     postcondition (`MaxPost`), with `maxPositive : MaxPost 7 3 7` as the
+|||     canonical exported positive control.
+|||   * Layer 3 (`Dafniser.ABI.Invariants`) — a deeper algebraic invariant:
+|||     commutativity of the max contract (`maxPostComm`), exhibited concretely
+|||     by `commPositive : MaxPost 3 7 7`, together with the min/max duality law
+|||     (`genMaxMinSum`) over the pair of generated functions.
+|||   * Layer 4 (`Dafniser.ABI.FfiSeam`) — the ABI<->FFI wire encoding is sound:
+|||     `resultToIntInjective` proves distinct `Result` codes never collide on
+|||     the integer wire.
+|||
+||| This capstone TIES THOSE TOGETHER.  `ABISound` is a record whose fields are
+||| exactly the key proven facts of each prior layer, and `abiContractDischarged`
+||| is a single inhabited value built ENTIRELY from the existing exported
+||| witnesses/theorems — no new domain theorem, no axioms, no escape hatches.
+||| The chain it certifies is:
+|||
+|||   manifest -> ABI proofs (flagship postcondition + algebraic invariant)
+|||           -> FFI seam (lossless, injective wire encoding)
+|||
+||| as ONE end-to-end soundness statement.  If ANY prior layer were unsound,
+||| this value would fail to typecheck: it is the load-bearing assembly point.
+|||
+||| No `believe_me`, `idris_crash`, `assert_total`, `postulate`, `sorry`, or
+||| `%hint` hacks — genuine composition only.

+  ||| Layer 3 (cross-function invariant): the min/max duality law over the pair
+  ||| of generated bodies — `max a b + min a b = a + b` for all inputs.
+  ||| Reuses `Dafniser.ABI.Invariants.genMaxMinSum`.
+  dualityInvariant : (a, b : Nat) -> fst (genMax a b) + fst (genMin a b) = a + b
