/-! # 19. Capability Enforcement (safety_proofs.md §2 — Theorem 2)

Mechanizes the informal "by inspection of execution paths" argument for
**Capability Soundness**: *no operation executes without the required
capability*. The execution relation `Executes` is capability-gated by
construction — every leaf rule carries its required-capability membership
as a hypothesis — so soundness holds by inversion: there is provably no
execution path that bypasses an enforcement point.

Also mechanizes the two stated side-properties (§2.5):
* Least Privilege — a fresh context holds only granted caps.
* No Capability Escalation — a step never enlarges the capability set.

/-! # 19b. Ethical Verdict Consistency (policy-arbitration soundness)

Phronesis resolves conflicting policies by *priority-ordered first match*
(`lib/phronesis/state.ex` `policies_by_priority` + the first-match evaluation
in `spec/SPEC.core.scm`). That arbitration was previously only informal. Here
it is made a function `bestMatch` — the highest-priority *matching* policy,
ties broken in favour of the earlier policy — and proved:

* `bestMatch_sound` — a verdict is produced only by a policy that really
matches the situation and is in the policy set
(no spurious verdicts);
* `bestMatch_none` — if no verdict is produced, no policy matched; hence
* `bestMatch_decisive` — whenever some policy applies, a verdict is produced;
* `bestMatch_maximal` — the deciding policy has maximal priority among all
matching policies, so a higher-priority verdict is
never overridden by a lower-priority one (e.g. a
high-priority REJECT cannot be undercut by a
lower-priority ACCEPT — the core ethical override).

`matches` abstracts condition evaluation (does a policy apply at a situation),
decoupling arbitration soundness from the expression semantics in `Eval`. -/

Main theorems (all machine-checked on Lean 4 core; no `sorry`, only Lean's
standard `propext` where `simp` is used — verify with `#print axioms`):
1. progress — well-typed closed expressions are values or step
2. preservation — evaluation preserves types (was a TODO/sorry)
3. determinism — evaluation is deterministic (was a TODO/sorry)
4. termination/size_pos — expressions have positive bounded size
5. subtype_trans — subtyping is transitive
6. capability_soundness — no leaf action executes without the required
capability (safety_proofs.md §2, Theorem 2)
7. capability_soundness_ite — enforcement is preserved through conditionals
8. least_privilege — a fresh context holds only granted capabilities
9. no_escalation — a step never enlarges the capability set
10. bestMatch_sound — policy arbitration yields no spurious verdict
11. bestMatch_none — no verdict ⇒ no policy matched
12. bestMatch_decisive — a verdict is produced whenever a policy applies
13. bestMatch_maximal — the deciding policy has maximal priority among
matches (higher-priority override; a high-priority
REJECT is never undercut by a lower ACCEPT)

### 2.6 Ethical Verdict Consistency

**Theorem (Policy-Arbitration Soundness):**
Phronesis resolves conflicting policies by *priority-ordered first match*
(`lib/phronesis/state.ex` `policies_by_priority` + the first-match evaluation in
`spec/SPEC.core.scm`). The decision procedure is sound, decisive, and respects
priority:

1. **Soundness** — a verdict is produced only by a policy that genuinely matches
the situation and is in the policy set (no spurious verdicts).
2. **Decisiveness** — whenever some policy applies, a verdict is produced.
3. **Priority-maximal override** — the deciding policy has maximal priority among
all matching policies; hence a higher-priority verdict is never overridden by
a lower-priority one (e.g. a high-priority `REJECT` cannot be undercut by a
lower-priority `ACCEPT` — the core ethical override). ∎

**Mechanized (Lean 4):** Machine-checked in
[`../academic/formal-verification/lean4/Phronesis.lean`](../academic/formal-verification/lean4/Phronesis.lean)
as `bestMatch_sound`, `bestMatch_none`, `bestMatch_decisive`, and
`bestMatch_maximal` over the real `PhrPolicy` record. Arbitration is modelled as
the `bestMatch` fold (highest-priority matching policy, ties to the earlier
policy); `matches` abstracts condition evaluation, decoupling arbitration
soundness from the expression semantics. All four are `sorry`-free (only Lean's
standard `propext`/`Quot.sound`; confirm with `#print axioms`).
