Evidence notes

`build_nat_prelude` admits `Nat.add_factorial_succ_le_factorial_add_succ` through the trusted `Kernel::add_declaration` gate, declared in new module `nat_prelude/add_factorial_le.rs`. Immediate corollary of `Nat.add_factorial_le_factorial_add` (`F:ml430-nat-add-factorial-le-factorial-add-b0400cf6`) at `n := succ n`, discharging its `Le 1 (succ n)` hypothesis with the `zero_lt_succ` helper (`Le 1 (succ n)` from `zero_le n` plus `le_succ_succ`) -- no induction needed here. `nat_theorem_inventory`'s rendered type is `((x0 : AxNat) -> ((x1 : AxNat) -> AxNat.le (AxNat.add x0 (AxNat.factorial (AxNat.succ x1))) (AxNat.factorial (AxNat.add x0 (AxNat.succ x1)))))`, matching this fact's `formal.statement` (`AxNat.succ x1` is `n+1`). The `-ge 1` count-based test (not `grep -q`) requires the admitted declaration to actually be printed; grepping a made-up name greps to `0`.

Evidence notes

`nat_axiom_inventory --require-axiom-free nat` enumerates the built Nat environment and exits non-zero unless it admits no Axiom, Opaque or Quotient declaration (measured: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0). A theorem cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain, so an empty trusted surface bounds every individual theorem's footprint by []. `nat_prelude_tests::every_nat_declaration_is_checked_and_axiom_free` additionally checks this theorem's own `Kernel::axiom_footprint` directly via `theorem_names` (this declaration's `p.add_factorial_succ_le_factorial_add_succ` entry was added there in the same commit that declared it), and `the_build_is_deterministic`/`every_promised_name_is_admitted_with_the_expected_kind` (both re-run on every `nat_prelude::` sweep) confirm the declaration is admitted at the exact rendered type checked above. `nat_prelude/add_factorial_le_tests.rs` independently checks this declaration's `axiom_footprint` too, plus a concrete instantiation at i=2,n=2 (2+3! = 8, confirmed <= (2+3)! = 120). Full `nat_prelude::` sweep: 255 passed, 0 failed.
