+||| Layer-3 invariant for Mylangiser: TRANSITIVITY of multi-step disclosure.
+|||
+||| The Layer-2 flagship (`Mylangiser.ABI.Semantics`) proves single-step
+||| monotonicity: one `Reveal` step may only ADD items. That is a property of
+||| ADJACENT states. It does NOT, on its own, say anything about what happens
+||| across MANY steps — in principle a chain of individually-valid steps could
+||| be reasoned about only one hop at a time.
+|||
+||| This module proves the genuinely deeper, distinct fact: the multi-step
+||| reachability relation is TRANSITIVE, and therefore disclosure is
+||| monotone GLOBALLY, not just locally. Concretely:
+|||
+|||   * `Reaches s t` is the reflexive-transitive closure of valid `Reveal`
+|||     steps (the "can the interface get from disclosure state s to t by some
+|||     number of add-only steps?" relation).
+|||
+|||   * `reachesTrans` : reachability composes — a state reachable from a
+|||     reachable state is itself reachable. (The headline transitivity result;
+|||     this is what single-step monotonicity does NOT give you.)
+|||
+|||   * `subsetTrans` : the underlying subset relation is transitive — the deep
+|||     algebraic law that powers the global guarantee.
+|||
+|||   * `reachesImpliesSubset` : the PAYOFF. If t is reachable from s by ANY
+|||     number of steps, then `Subset s t` holds: the revealed set never shrinks
+|||     across the whole run, however long. This collapses an unbounded chain of
+|||     local guarantees into one global guarantee, which is precisely the part
+|||     not implied by the Layer-2 single-step theorem.
+|||
+||| We provide a sound + complete decision procedure for the new transitive
+||| subset law (`decSubsetTrans`), a POSITIVE control (a concrete multi-hop
+||| reachability witness whose endpoints are provably in the subset relation),
+||| and a NEGATIVE / non-vacuity control (a state that is provably NOT reachable
+||| because doing so would require hiding an item).

+-- Deep algebraic law: the subset relation is TRANSITIVE
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| Membership transports through subset: if every item of `xs` is in `ys`, and

+subsetElem (SubCons _ rest) (There later) = subsetElem rest later
+
+||| Transitivity of subset: if `xs` is a subset of `ys` and `ys` of `zs`, then
+||| `xs` is a subset of `zs`. NOT a restatement of single-step monotonicity:
+||| this is the algebraic law that composes two separate add-only relationships.

+subsetTrans SubNil          _   = SubNil
+subsetTrans (SubCons h rest) syz =
+  SubCons (subsetElem syz h) (subsetTrans rest syz)
+
+||| Reflexivity of subset (every state contains itself) — needed for the
+||| reflexive part of the reachability closure, and used as a positive witness.
+export
+subsetRefl : (xs : State) -> Subset xs xs
+subsetRefl []        = SubNil
+subsetRefl (x :: xs) =
+  -- Each head x is `Here` in (x :: xs); the tail is a subset of (x :: xs)
+  -- because it is a subset of itself, then weakened by `There`.
+  SubCons Here (subsetWeaken (subsetRefl xs))
+  where

+-- Sound + complete decision of the transitive subset relation
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| Decide `Subset xs zs` while EXPOSING the transitive structure: given an
+||| intermediate `ys` together with witnesses `Subset xs ys` and `Subset ys zs`,
+||| we already KNOW the answer is Yes (by `subsetTrans`); but for a genuine
+||| decision over arbitrary inputs we fall back to the complete `decSubset`.
+||| This is sound (a Yes carries a real proof) and complete (a No carries a real
+||| refutation), reusing the Layer-2 decider as the completeness oracle.

+||| to `t` by zero or more valid (add-only) `Reveal` steps. This is the

+
+||| Across an ENTIRE reachable run, however long, the revealed set never shrinks:
