== Echo-graded projection commuting square (Base/EchoProjection.agda)

The choreographic analog of echo-types' `choreo-grade-commute`. echo-types'
`RoleGEcho` is a 2D family indexed by Role and Grade: at keep grade it
carries `RoleEcho r true` (a type that genuinely varies with the role); at
residue and forget grades it collapses to `⊤`. `choreo-grade-commute` says
role transport and grade degradation commute — 18 cases, all `refl`, with
one non-trivial case (`c⊑s, keep≤keep`) where both sides compute to
`client-to-server e`, a function between different types.

The choreographic analog defines two 2D families indexed by Party and
EGrade: one carrying the restricted grade (grade-indexed), the other the
projected local type (local-indexed), both collapsing to `⊤` at residue
and forget grades. The party transport requires the restricted grades
(grade version) or projections (local version) to agree.

| EP-2 | `echo-local-commute`: grade degradation and party transport commute on the local-type-indexed 2D family `CGEchoLocal`, for any parties with the same projection. Closes by `refl` in all six cases | PROVEN (`EchoProjection.echo-local-commute`)
| EP-3 | Two-event case (`msg 0 1 g₁ (msg 2 3 g₂ end)`): the grade transport exists between sender and receiver of the same message (`same-grade-01`, `same-grade-23`, both `refl`); the local transport exists only between outside parties (`same-proj-45`, `refl`); sender and receiver do NOT have the same projection (`proj-0≢proj-1`). The square is trivial in ALL cases because the transport is the identity on equal values — there is no choreographic analog of `client-to-server` between different projections | PROVEN (`TwoEvent`); the trivialisation is the result
|===

What EP-3 says about the keystone: echo-types' commuting square has a
non-trivial case because `RoleEcho Client true` and `RoleEcho Server true`
are different types, and `client-to-server` is a genuine function between
them. The choreographic projection `proj p G` is a value of the fixed type
`Local`, and `grade↾ p G` is a value of the fixed type `Grade`; their
singleton wrappers are contractible, so the only transport between equal
values is the identity. The B-5 open item (role transport) cannot be
closed by this route: the echo-grade commuting square trivialises before
it reaches the transport/warrant structure.

== K-CUT-WARRANT precise statement (WarrantClaim.agda)

The warrant component of the keystone, stated as a reviewed theorem
statement with every hypothesis and side condition explicit. Three
components: grade equality (C1, proven from K-CUT-LOSS and frame
factivity), grade bound (C2, proven with a grade-ordering hypothesis
H4), and data warrant (C3, conditional on a receiver-local side
condition H5). The gap between type-determined and data-dependent
warrants is documented precisely: the type provides the warrant
structure and type-determined evidence (Kripke knowledge) but not
data-dependent evidence or soundness.

epistemic-types' `SoundWarrant` (pinned commit `495db9cc`) is imported,
not re-declared: `Warrant` carries an `Evidence` type; `SoundWarrant`
adds `sound : Evidence → A`. The receiver-local side condition is
exactly the provision of `Evidence` and `sound` for data-dependent
claims.

[cols="1,3,1",options="header"]
|===
| ID | Claim | Status
| WC-1 | Grade equality warrant: at every world w, p holds a `SoundWarrant` for `grade↾ p (G ↾ cut w) ≡ grade↾ p (G ↾ cut w)`, with evidence token `knows-own-grade p w`. Hypotheses: H1–H3 only | PROVEN (`Claim.grade-equality-warrant`, `grade-equality-evidence`)
| WC-2 | Grade bound warrant (lower): if `Each (𝟙 ≼_) G`, p holds a `SoundWarrant` for `grade↾ p (G ↾ cut w) ≼ grade (G ↾ cut w)`, with evidence token `knows-lower-bound G p e w`. Hypotheses: H1–H4 | PROVEN (`Claim.grade-bound-warrant-lower`, `grade-bound-evidence-lower`)
| WC-3 | Grade bound warrant (upper): if `Each (_≼ 𝟙) G`, p holds a `SoundWarrant` for `grade (G ↾ cut w) ≼ grade↾ p (G ↾ cut w)`, with evidence token `knows-upper-bound G p e w`. Hypotheses: H1–H4 | PROVEN (`Claim.grade-bound-warrant-upper`, `grade-bound-evidence-upper`)
| WC-4 | Data warrant: for data-dependent φ, p holds a `SoundWarrant` for φ w IF p provides `ReceiverLocalSideCondition p φ w` (Evidence + sound). This is the receiver-local side condition; NOT type-determined | PROVEN as a conditional (`Claim.data-warrant`); the side condition is an external assumption
| WC-5 | Complete K-CUT-WARRANT record: packages C1 and C3; C2 stated separately (direction depends on algebra). `mkComplete` populates from the side condition | PROVEN (`Claim.KCutWarrantComplete`, `mkComplete`)
|===

What WC-4 says about the keystone: the pre-registration's "SoundWarrant
at the receiver (ASSUMED local soundness, not type-determined)" applies
to data-dependent claims only (C3). The grade claims (C1, C2) are fully
type-determined: evidence is Kripke knowledge, soundness is frame
factivity, and no external assumption is needed. The gap is precisely
the boundary between what the choreographic type determines (grades,
projections, bounds) and what it does not (payload properties,
authenticity, cryptographic evidence). epistemic-types'
`ProofTransport.CertificateCheck` provides the vocabulary for the
receiver-local side condition but does not derive it from the type.

== Grading semantics for bounds under interaction (GradingSemantics.agda)

Defines the grading semantics using the algebraic vocabulary of
tropical-types (Resource/Algebra/Interface.lean, read-only provenance
reference; Dioid.lean, read-only proof witnesses). Keeps grade,
measure, and index distinct. Derives one-step bound propagation
theorems and the projection theorem from the declared semantics.
Records a checked negative result for non-commutative ⊗.

tropical-types' Lean 4 proof witnesses (canonicalLe partial order,
monotonicity of both operations, ResourceAlgebra.ofIdempotentAdd) are
provenance, not imports. The Agda IsOrdered record carries the local
verification. Bridge obligation M-2 is recorded, not discharged.

[cols="1,3,1",options="header"]

| ID | Claim | Status
| GS-1 | One-step bound propagation for messages: if `grade↾ p G ≼ x`, then `grade↾ p (msg s r g G) ≼ at (role p s r) g ⊗ x`. Uses ⊗-monotonicity (tropical-types Dioid.lean `canonicalLe_mul_le_mul_left`, provenance; Agda `IsOrdered.⊗-mono`, local verification) | PROVEN (`bound-step-msg`, `bound-step-msg-outsider`)
| GS-2 | One-step bound propagation for choices: if `grade↾ p G₁ ≼ x₁` and `grade↾ p G₂ ≼ x₂`, then `grade↾ p (choice s r g G₁ G₂) ≼ at (role p s r) g ⊗ (x₁ ⊕ x₂)`. Uses ⊗-monotonicity and ⊕-monotonicity | PROVEN (`bound-step-choice`)
| GS-3 | Two-step bound propagation (composition of GS-1); projection theorem: `restricted-measure p G ≡ local-measure (proj p G)` for projectable types (K-3 restated); bound transfer through projection in both directions | PROVEN (`bound-two-step`, `projection-theorem`, `bound-projection-lower`, `bound-projection-upper`)
| GS-4 | Negative result: the unrestricted measure is NOT compositional under reordering for non-commutative ⊗. Consequence of A-1 (restricted measure is order-independent for disjoint interactions) and A-3 (HWM unrestricted measure is order-dependent). Abstract right-cancellation from `(a ⊗ b) ⊗ grade G ≡ (b ⊗ a) ⊗ grade G` to `a ⊗ b ≡ b ⊗ a` requires ⊗-right-unit or right-cancellation, neither in the base algebra. Concrete witness at HWM (A-3). No postulates introduced | RECORDED (consequence of A-1, A-3; concrete witness `Instances.Diamond.hwm-order-sensitive`)
|===

What GS-4 says about the keystone: tropical-types' Interface.lean does
not assume `mul_comm` in the base `ResourceSemiring`; `CommResourceSemiring`
is an optional refinement. The negative result is structural: for any
algebra satisfying the base interface but not the commutative refinement,
the unrestricted measure is order-sensitive while the restricted measure
is not (for disjoint interactions). This is the precise sense in which
"an occupancy reading is not a cost reading" (P-3).

== Independent₂ and the two-event experiment (Independent2.agda)

Makes Independent₂ explicit for the two-event K-CUT-LOSS experiment:
disjoint footprints (I1), phase safety (I2), cross-stepping (I3).
Deterministic tie-breaking (I4) is a scheduler concern, not a type
concern, and is not included.

| I2-2 | K-CUT-LOSS across the diamond: after two steps, the local grade at a projectable state is the restricted global grade. Restatement of A-6 | PROVEN (`kcut-loss-across-diamond`, via `two-thread-kcut-loss`)
| I2-3 | A party outside an event sees no change in projection (`outside-invisible`). Structural lemma: under disjoint footprints, each party is outside at least one event, so the commuting square is vacuous from every party's viewpoint | PROVEN (`outside-invisible`)
| I2-4 | Second projection pattern: shared sender (`msg 0 1 g₁ (msg 0 2 g₂ end)` vs swapped) and shared receiver (`msg 0 2 g₁ (msg 1 2 g₂ end)` vs swapped) both fail projection-equivalence. `proj 0 G ≢ proj 0 G'` and `proj 2 G ≢ proj 2 G'` by constructor inequality | PROVEN (`SharedSender.proj-0-G≢proj-0-G'`, `SharedReceiver.proj-2-G≢proj-2-G'`)
|===

What I2-3 and I2-4 say about the keystone: the disjointness condition
(I1) is NECESSARY for the two-event commuting square. Under I1, each
party participates in at most one event, so the commuting is vacuous
from every party's viewpoint (I2-3). Dropping I1 breaks the result:
shared parties create ordering dependencies in the local type that

Limit the disjointness conclusion to the proved guarantee.

The shared-sender and shared-receiver examples show that dropping I1 can break projection-equivalence. They do not show that disjointness is necessary in every case. For example, swapping two identical msg 0 1 g interactions leaves the global type unchanged. State that I1 guarantees this commuting result, rather than claiming every shared party breaks it.

Update the I2-3 and I2-4 discussion in PROOF-STATUS.adoc to state that I1

every case. Clarify that shared parties can create ordering dependencies and

do.

break projection-equivalence (I2-4). The degeneracy is ESSENTIAL,
not incidental. This narrows the two-event K-CUT-LOSS claim to
disjoint events. The general K-CUT claim (arbitrary events, arbitrary
cuts, non-disjoint interactions) remains OPEN.

== 2026-11-01 — four research tasks (echo projection, warrant claim, grading semantics, Independent₂)

* `src/Choreographic/Base/EchoProjection.agda`: the choreographic analog
of echo-types' `choreo-grade-commute`. Two 2D families indexed by Party
and EGrade (grade-indexed and local-type-indexed), with grade degradation
and party transport. The commuting square holds by `refl` in every case
(EP-1, EP-2), but the party transport requires identical restricted grades
or identical projections as a hypothesis. In the two-event case (EP-3),
the transport exists only between parties with equal values, making it
the identity; the square is trivial in ALL cases. The echo-types square
has a non-trivial case because `client-to-server` maps between different
types; the choreographic analog has no such map. This is recorded as the
result: the B-5 open item (role transport) cannot be closed by this route.
* `src/Choreographic/WarrantClaim.agda`: precise K-CUT-WARRANT theorem
statement with every hypothesis and side condition explicit (WC-1 to
WC-5). Three components: grade equality warrant (C1, proven from
K-CUT-LOSS and frame factivity), grade bound warrant (C2, proven with
grade-ordering hypothesis H4), data warrant (C3, conditional on
receiver-local side condition H5). The gap between type-determined
and data-dependent warrants is documented precisely. epistemic-types'
`SoundWarrant` interface is used as-is; no assumed warrant is turned
into a proved fact.
* `src/Choreographic/GradingSemantics.agda`: grading semantics for bounds
under interaction, using tropical-types (Lean 4, read-only provenance)
for the algebraic vocabulary. Keeps grade, measure, and index distinct.
Derives one-step bound propagation (GS-1, GS-2), two-step composition
and projection theorem (GS-3). Negative result (GS-4): unrestricted
measure is NOT compositional under reordering for non-commutative ⊗;
recorded as consequence of A-1 and A-3. No postulates; no cross-prover
bridge claimed.
* `src/Choreographic/Independent2.agda`: makes Independent₂ explicit for
the two-event K-CUT-LOSS experiment (I2-1 to I2-4). Disjoint footprints
(I1), phase safety (I2), cross-stepping (I3). Second projection pattern
(shared sender, shared receiver) shows commuting square fails without
disjointness. Conclusion: degeneracy is essential, not incidental.
General K-CUT claims remain OPEN.
* `src/Choreographic/All.agda`: imports all four new modules.
* PROOF-STATUS: sections for EP, WC, GS, and I2 rows.
