From 2433e70a8b67faaf2fff13f74ce59c2f243909a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:44:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] abi(nimiser): prove C-binding signature preservation (Layer 2) Add Nimiser.ABI.Semantics, a machine-checked semantic proof that the Nim->C code generator preserves source signatures: same name, same arity, and every argument/return type lowered by the canonical injective nimToC mapping. An arity or type mismatch is unrepresentable as a SigPreserved witness. Contents: - Faithful model: NimT / CT type universes, NimSig / CSig signatures, total nimToC lowering, genBinding code generator. - Headline property SigPreserved with no constructor for any mismatch. - genBindingPreserves: the generator ALWAYS preserves (soundness). - nimToCInjective: the lowering is injective (non-vacuity engine). - decSigPreserved: sound + complete Dec decision procedure. - certifyBinding + certifyBindingSound tied to the project Result type; generatedAlwaysCertifies corollary. - Positive control samplePreserved (explicit witness) and three negative controls (wrong return type, wrong arity, wrong arg type), all machine-checked. Build: idris2 --build nimiser-abi.ipkg exits 0, zero warnings. Adversarial false proof (claiming a type-mismatched binding is preserved) is rejected by the type-checker, confirming non-vacuity.
