Formal statement

Evidence

kernel-Int.pow_succ

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: Int.pow_succ is admitted by the trusted kernel gate with the type recorded in formal.statement.

Checker command

cargo run -q --release -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example theorem_dependency_inventory -- Int.pow_succ 2>/dev/null | grep -cE '^Int\.pow_succ[[:space:]]'

Evidence notes

`build_int_prelude` admits Int.pow_succ through the trusted `Kernel::add_declaration` gate, which re-checks the proof term against the stated type, so a line in `theorem_dependency_inventory`'s output for the exact name is a machine-checked proof having been admitted. That tool exits non-zero for a named filter matching nothing (a deleted theorem cannot read as a re-derived one), and `grep -c` (never `-q`) both avoids a SIGPIPE-under-pipefail false negative and independently asserts the exact tab-anchored line is present. `--release` is MANDATORY: this tool unconditionally also builds `creal`/`complex`/`cpoint`, which recurse deep enough in a debug build to overflow the default thread stack (measured: release exits 0, debug SIGABRTs at 134).

footprint-Int.pow_succ

Kind: exhaustive-enumeration
Status: checked

Supports: axiom_footprint: [] -- Int.pow_succ lives in the Int prelude's trusted surface, which is empty.

Checker command

cargo run -q -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example nat_axiom_inventory -- --require-axiom-free integer

Evidence notes

`nat_axiom_inventory --require-axiom-free integer` builds the Int environment as its own group and reports `integer: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0 total_trusted=0` (re-measured on this tree), exiting 0 with `ok: integer trusted surface = 0`. That bounds every individual Int theorem's footprint by [], since Int.pow_succ cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain. `--require-axiom-free <name>` is an error (not a silent pass) for a prelude this run never built, which is what makes `integer` here a claim rather than an absence.
