+||| Layer 5 (CAPSTONE): one end-to-end ABI SOUNDNESS CERTIFICATE for
+||| ephapaxiser.
+|||
+||| Every prior layer proves one facet of the ABI contract in isolation:
+|||
+|||   * Layer 2 (`Ephapaxiser.ABI.Semantics`) — the flagship single-use /
+|||     linearity property: a `Fresh` token is `Consumable` (positive control
+|||     `freshTokenConsumable`), while a `Spent` token is not.
+|||   * Layer 3 (`Ephapaxiser.ABI.Invariants`) — the deeper transition
+|||     invariant: consumption is irreversible (NO-RESURRECTION,
+|||     `noResurrectionThree`) and identity-preserving.
+|||   * Layer 4 (`Ephapaxiser.ABI.FfiSeam`) — the ABI<->FFI seam is sound:
+|||     `resultToIntInjective` shows distinct ABI outcomes never collide on the
+|||     C wire.
+|||
+||| This module ties the manifest's promise ("enforce single-use linear type
+||| semantics") to the ABI proofs (flagship + invariant) and onward to the FFI
+||| seam, as ONE inhabited value. `ABISound` is a record whose fields are
+||| exactly those proven facts, and `abiContractDischarged : ABISound` is built
+||| solely from the existing exported witnesses/theorems of Layers 2-4. If ANY
+||| prior layer were unsound — if any of those witnesses could not be produced
+||| genuinely — this single value would not typecheck. That is the capstone:
+||| the full ABI contract is discharged together, not facet by facet.
+|||
+||| No axioms anywhere: no `believe_me`, `idris_crash`, `assert_total`,
+||| `postulate`, `sorry`, or `%hint` hacks. Each field is a real value imported
+||| from the layer that proved it.

+
+||| `ABISound` is the end-to-end ABI soundness certificate. Each field is a KEY
+||| proven fact of the ephapaxiser ABI, carried as a genuine value:
+|||
+|||   * `flagship`  — the Layer-2 flagship property on the canonical positive
+|||     control: the concrete fresh token (id 7) IS `Consumable`.
+|||   * `invariant` — the Layer-3 NO-RESURRECTION invariant on a concrete
+|||     post-state: the spent result (id 3) is NOT resurrectable.
+|||   * `ffiSeam`   — the Layer-4 FFI-seam soundness: `resultToInt` is
+|||     injective, so distinct ABI outcomes never collide on the wire.
+|||
+||| A value of this record can only exist if all three layers are inhabited
+||| together — there is no way to fabricate any field.

+  ||| Layer 3: the spent post-state cannot be resurrected (irreversibility).
+  invariant : Not (Resurrection (MkToken {st = Spent} 3))
+  ||| Layer 4: the ABI->C encoding is injective (seam is collision-free).

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- The capstone value: the ABI contract, discharged end-to-end
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| THE CAPSTONE. A single inhabited certificate assembled entirely from the
+||| existing exported witnesses/theorems of Layers 2-4:

+|||   * `flagship`  := `Semantics.freshTokenConsumable`
+|||   * `invariant` := `Invariants.noResurrectionThree`
+|||   * `ffiSeam`   := `FfiSeam.resultToIntInjective`
+|||
+||| Because each field is the real proof from its layer, this value typechecks
+||| if and only if all prior layers are sound. It is the machine-checked
+||| statement that the manifest promise, the ABI domain proofs, and the FFI
+||| seam form one coherent, discharged contract.

+
+||| POSITIVE CONTROL: the flagship field of the discharged certificate is
+||| definitionally the Layer-2 positive-control witness. Confirms the capstone
+||| genuinely carries the underlying proof rather than some re-derived stand-in.
