What

Closes the bounded-search-is-decidable gap that EchoSearch.agda flagged under "where next" — the concrete bridge from EchoSearch to EchoDecidable (axis 8(3)).

How

EchoS enum f y n is exactly the bounded existential Σ k. (k < n) × (f (enum k) ≡ y), so under decidable equality on B it's decidable by structural recursion on the budget n:

bounded-search-is-decidable :
  (_≟_ : (x y : B)  Dec (x ≡ y))
  (enum : SearchStrategy A) (f : A  B) (y : B) (n : ℕ) 
  Dec (EchoS enum f y n)
  • n = 0no (via the existing echo-search-bound-zero).
  • n = suc n → test the new index n with _≟_; on a hit, yes; otherwise recurse on n. The negative case refutes every index below suc n via <-cmp trichotomy: indices < n by the recursive ¬below, the index n itself by ¬eq, and none strictly between n and suc n.

A small design touch: the refutation matches the < proof as s≤s k≤n to get k ≤ n directly, avoiding any ≤-pred name dependency.

Discipline

  • --safe --without-K, zero postulates, structural recursion (no TERMINATING).
  • Pinned in Smoke.agda; the module's "where next" note marked LANDED. EchoSearch was already classified (only a lemma added, no new module), so kernel-guard.sh PASS.
  • Verified on latest main: EchoSearch.agda, Smoke.agda, All.agda all agda --safe --without-K exit 0 (captured locally).

Context

This is one of only three small gaps a full proof-surface survey found still open (the rest of the historical roadmap has landed). The other two are not clean closes and I'm leaving them for your steer (see the session note): EchoApprox's Lipschitz bound needs an interface-design decision (a multiplicative-tolerance algebra), and EchoSearch's sequential composition needs a from-scratch ℕ × ℕ ↔ ℕ Cantor pairing (stdlib has none) that the module itself defers until a consumer needs it.

`EchoS enum f y n` is exactly the bounded existential
`Σ k. (k < n) × (f (enum k) ≡ y)`, so under decidable equality on `B` it is
decidable by structural recursion on the budget `n`: the `suc` step tests the
new index `n` (via `_≟_`) and otherwise recurses, refuting every index below
`suc n` in the negative case via `<-cmp` trichotomy (the index `n` itself by
`¬eq`, indices below `n` by the recursive `¬below`, none strictly between).
This is the concrete bridge from EchoSearch to `EchoDecidable` (axis 8(3))
that the module flagged under "where next".

`--safe --without-K`, zero postulates, structural recursion (no TERMINATING).
Added to `EchoSearch.agda`; pinned in `Smoke.agda`; the module's "where next"
note marked LANDED. EchoSearch + Smoke.agda + All.agda exit 0; kernel-guard
PASS (EchoSearch already classified — no new module).

…sition (#254)

## What

Closes the **last** "where next" gap in `EchoSearch` — product
(sequential) composition of bounded searches. This is gap 3-of-3 from
the proof survey (decidability #251 and Lipschitz #252 already merged).

## The correction

The module's original sketch — `EchoS … f b n₁ → EchoS … g y n₂ → EchoS
… (g ∘ f) y (n₁ * n₂)` — is **ill-typed**: the second search produces a
`g`-preimage of `y` over its *own* enumerator, with no tie to the first
search's output `b`, so `g (f x) ≡ y` doesn't follow. The well-typed
composition is the **product** of two independent searches:

```agda
productEnum n₂ enum₁ enum₂ k = (enum₁ (k / n₂) , enum₂ (k % n₂))

echo-search-product :
  EchoS enum₁ f₁ y₁ n₁ → EchoS enum₂ f₂ y₂ n₂ →
  EchoS (productEnum n₂ enum₁ enum₂) (productMap f₁ f₂) (y₁ , y₂) (n₁ * n₂)
```

## How (the row-major pairing)

The witness pairs the two step indices as `k₂ + k₁ * n₂`:
- **bound** `< n₁ * n₂`: `k₂ + k₁*n₂ < n₂ + k₁*n₂ = suc k₁ * n₂ ≤ n₁ *
n₂` (`+-monoˡ-<` then `*-monoˡ-≤`);
- **recovery**: `/ n₂ ≡ k₁` (`+-distrib-/-∣ʳ` + `m*n/n≡m` + `m<n⇒m/n≡0`)
and `% n₂ ≡ k₂` (`[m+kn]%n≡m%n` + `m<n⇒m%n≡m`).

The `n₁ * n₂` budget **provably requires** this budget-dependent pairing
— a global `ℕ × ℕ ↔ ℕ` cannot keep `pair (n₁-1) (n₂-1) < n₁ * n₂` —
which is exactly why it divides by `n₂` and carries `NonZero n₂` (a
zero-width second dimension admits no witness anyway). That's the
bijection the module deferred "to the slice that wants it".

## Discipline

- `--safe --without-K`, **zero postulates**, structural.
- 3 Smoke pins (`productMap`, `productEnum`, `echo-search-product`); the
"where next" note marked LANDED with the ill-typed-sketch correction.
- **Verified on latest `main`:** `EchoSearch`, `Smoke.agda`, `All.agda`
all exit 0; `kernel-guard.sh` PASS (existing module — no new module).

## Context

This is the **final** gap from the proof-surface survey. With it, the
echo-types proof surface is gap-free apart from the deliberately
**parked** ordinal/fidelity ladder and the author-driven Pillar E paper.

…rdinal-contradiction flag

Catches the machine ledger up to the gap-closing proofs that landed
without an arc (#249 EchoReversibilityBridge, #250 EchoResidueCell,
#251/#254 EchoSearch decidable+product, #252 EchoApprox Lipschitz,
#257 EchoLLEncoding universal gap, #258 proof-debt variance refresh),
records the cross-repo (echo-types + 007) docs-completeness audit, and
flags one unresolved owner decision: main carries ordinal BH climb
rungs 7 & 8 (f89a3aa, a096764) dated 2026-06-21 — the same day as the
D-2026-06-21 retirement — contradicting the retirement banner. The two
ordinal wiki files are deliberately left un-fixed pending that
reconciliation. Disposition: both repos clean/verified, push-nothing-else.
