+||| Flagship semantic proof for ephapaxiser: single-use (linear) token
+||| semantics.
+|||
+||| ephapaxiser's headline promise is "enforce single-use linear type
+||| semantics". This module gives that promise a faithful, machine-checked
+||| operational meaning:
+|||
+|||   * A `Token` carries an explicit `consumed` flag (a `TokenState`).
+|||   * `Consumable t` is the proposition "token `t` may legally be consumed".
+|||     It has EXACTLY ONE constructor, and that constructor only applies to a
+|||     `Fresh` token. There is NO constructor for a `Spent` token — so a proof
+|||     that an already-consumed token may be consumed simply cannot be built.
+|||   * `consume` advances a `Fresh` token to `Spent`, witnessed by a
+|||     `Consumable` proof, and returns the resulting `Spent` token together
+|||     with a `Consumed` certificate recording the single legal transition.
+|||
+||| The "no proof for the bad case" shape is the linear-logic content: a value
+||| of an affine/linear type can be consumed at most once, and after that no
+||| further consumption is well-typed. Here that is enforced at the level of
+||| Idris2 propositions, independently of any FFI implementation.
+|||
+||| This raises the ephapaxiser ABI to "Layer 2": beyond structural layout
+||| proofs, it proves the repo's domain invariant.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- A faithful model of single-use token state
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| The two states a single-use token can be in.
+public export
+data TokenState : Type where
+  ||| Freshly issued, never consumed. May be consumed exactly once.
+  Fresh : TokenState
+  ||| Already consumed (spent). Consuming again is a use-after-consume error.
+  Spent : TokenState
+
+||| A single-use token. The `id` distinguishes distinct tokens; the `state`
+||| index records whether it is still consumable. We keep the state as a type
+||| index so the linearity invariant is visible in the type of every token.
+public export
+data Token : TokenState -> Type where
+  ||| Construct a token in a given state, carrying an identity tag.
+  MkToken : (id : Nat) -> Token st
+
+||| The identity tag of a token (state-erased projection).
+public export
+tokenId : Token st -> Nat
+tokenId (MkToken i) = i
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- The headline proposition: a token may be consumed ONLY when Fresh.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| `Consumable t` is the evidence that token `t` is in a state where consuming
+||| it is legal. Crucially there is NO constructor mentioning `Spent`: the bad
+||| case (consuming a spent token) is unrepresentable.
+public export
+data Consumable : Token st -> Type where
+  ||| A fresh token is consumable.
+  FreshConsumable : Consumable (MkToken {st = Fresh} i)
+
+||| There is no evidence that a spent token is consumable. This is the core
+||| linearity guarantee, stated as an `Uninhabited` instance and discharged by
+||| a top-level impossible clause (per Idris2 0.7.0 idiom: refute via a
+||| top-level function clause, not a nested case).
+public export
+Uninhabited (Consumable (MkToken {st = Spent} i)) where
+  uninhabited FreshConsumable impossible
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- The single legal transition, recorded as a certificate.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| A certificate that the one and only legal consumption transition happened:
+||| from a `Fresh` token of identity `i` to a `Spent` token of the same
+||| identity. The `Consumable` premise guarantees the source was fresh.
+public export
+data Consumed : (before : Token Fresh) -> (after : Token Spent) -> Type where
+  ||| The unique Fresh -> Spent transition for a given identity.
+  MkConsumed : (i : Nat) -> Consumed (MkToken {st = Fresh} i) (MkToken {st = Spent} i)
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- The operation: consume a fresh token, producing a spent token + certificate.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| Consume a fresh token. Requires `Consumable` evidence (only obtainable for
+||| a fresh token), and returns the resulting spent token together with the
+||| transition certificate. The result identity is preserved.
+public export
+consume : (t : Token Fresh) -> Consumable t -> (t' : Token Spent ** Consumed t t')
+consume (MkToken i) FreshConsumable = (MkToken i ** MkConsumed i)
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- Sound + complete decision procedure for consumability.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| Decide whether a token is consumable. This is total, sound (a `Yes` carries
+||| a real `Consumable` proof) and complete (a `Spent` token gets a `No` backed
+||| by the `Uninhabited` instance — it never spuriously refuses a fresh token).
+||| The state is taken as an explicit argument because it is an erased index of
+||| `Token` and so cannot be recovered from the value alone.
+public export
+decConsumable : (st : TokenState) -> (t : Token st) -> Dec (Consumable t)
+decConsumable Fresh (MkToken i)  = Yes FreshConsumable
+decConsumable Spent (MkToken i)  = No absurd
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- A certifier mapping into the ABI's Result codes, plus its soundness proof.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| Certify a token for consumption, reporting via the shared ABI `Result`:
+|||   * `Ok`              if the token may be consumed (it is fresh);
+|||   * `AlreadyConsumed` if it may not (it is spent).
+||| This reuses the existing `Result` type from `Ephapaxiser.ABI.Types`.
+public export
+certifyConsume : (st : TokenState) -> (t : Token st) -> Result
+certifyConsume st t = case decConsumable st t of
+  Yes _ => Ok
+  No  _ => AlreadyConsumed
+
+||| Soundness of the certifier: whenever `certifyConsume` reports `Ok`, a real
+||| `Consumable` proof exists for that token. (No `believe_me` — the witness is
+||| recovered from the decision procedure.)
+public export
+certifyConsumeSound : (st : TokenState) -> (t : Token st) -> certifyConsume st t = Ok -> Consumable t
+certifyConsumeSound st t prf with (decConsumable st t)
+  certifyConsumeSound st t prf       | Yes ok = ok
+  certifyConsumeSound st t Refl      | No  _  impossible
+
+||| Completeness in the other direction: a spent token is always reported
+||| `AlreadyConsumed`. This is definitional, but stating it makes the
+||| use-after-consume guarantee explicit and machine-checked.
+public export
+certifySpentRejected : (i : Nat) -> certifyConsume Spent (MkToken {st = Spent} i) = AlreadyConsumed

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- Positive control: an inhabited witness (a real fresh token is consumable).
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| POSITIVE CONTROL: a concrete fresh token is consumable, and consuming it
+||| yields a spent token of the same identity with a transition certificate.
+public export
+freshTokenConsumable : Consumable (MkToken {st = Fresh} 7)

+
+||| POSITIVE CONTROL (operation): the full consume step on a concrete token.
+public export

+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- Negative control: the bad case has NO proof (machine-checked).
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| NEGATIVE CONTROL: a spent (already-consumed) token is NOT consumable. This
+||| is the linearity guarantee — no second consumption is well-typed. Proven by
+||| the `Uninhabited` instance, with no axioms.
